You changed my life when I came across your lectures on RUclips back in 2018. I have been reading your books and articles, listening to your talks and interviews ever since. You have been the single most influential person in my life. I am turning 24 this year, and the past 3 years have been difficult due to my chronic illness, but your books and lectures have helped me keep my peace. It's always a joy to hear you speak. Keep doing the great work you do. Thank you for everything! Much love.
That's awesome. As a person with a chronic illness myself (Ulcerative Colitis, in fact I recently lost my entire large intestine and 30 percent of my small intestine due to the frickin thing) In what way did he impact your life? I am not religious, many people assume it's because of my chronic illness constantly teasing me with a life and then taking it away. Like I hate God as a result or some such nonsense. I suppose Robert helped me accept the fact that I didn't get as fair a shake at life as most others, but that's life. You do the best with what you have and move on, dwelling on what we cannot change doesn't help, there is no sky daddy coming to save me, it is up to me to make the best of it. Your turn?✌️
Robert, if you happen to read this comment. I just wanted you to know, you have changed my life in one of the most meaningful ways I’ve experienced. You’ve given me the most incredible gift, the gift of perspective in that, I no longer hate, blame or resent (although challenging at times), and instead, when I’m faced with a difficult situation (usually brought on by a difficult person), I channel what I call (my “inner Sapolsky” haha and remind myself to feel compassion and understanding. Thank you sir, even though you had little to do with it, and it’s just great luck/fortune that I happened upon your insights on RUclips 😊
i studied philosophy back in 2010, then went on to study Psychology later on and found your lectures in 2018 and my worldview changed 180 degrees. The way you talked about science and the value of interdisciplinary studies and how everything is weaved together floored me, especially your lecture about Chaos theory and James Gleick's book, which made me pursue a PhD(c) in Neuroscience. Thank you for giving us your wisdom so freely, Robert - many new scientists have been incredibly influenced by you whether you know it or not. My scientific journey would not have been what it is today if it wasn't for you. Love from Greece x
Thank you for all your work; you have changed my life. Ever since I was a child, I have constantly asked myself the same question: 'Why do people behave the way they do?' I discovered your lectures, books, and interviews, and learned so much about human behavior that I now consider my question answered. I have also developed a lot of compassion for people, because I understand that it's not their fault they behave the way they do.
I had always had that doubt... one day I searched for why we behave the way we behave on RUclips and opened a video of Sapolsky, at first I despaired a little because English is not my native language, but I ended up in his Ted Talk, he literally made sense of my doubt, I read behave and inquired more on the subject. I quit my job in engineering to study psychology and hope to major in neuro, and in the future neuroscience, Sapolsky's perspective not only answered my question concisely, it made me think more before getting frantic and I also feel more compassion.
I watched all of Dr. Sapolsky's Stanford lectures and it changed my perspective greatly. I am reading Determined as soon as I can. So nice to see his offspring has interest in his thoughts and his field of study and is willing to share with all of us.
Good grief, I didn't know until today that Robert Sapolsky had this channel. Episode #23 popped up on my recommended. I listened from start to finish, I liked, I subscribed, and now I'm here. I'm going to enjoy binge-listening to these. I'm a big fan. You have helped me articulate my struggle with determinism & free will & many other topics. I feel a bit guilty that I haven't finished reading/listening to your major books, but I'll certainly get on that. Have a great day, everyone.
Robert Sapolsky was top of mind all day today for me as I delved into learning about Schopenhauer for the first time. I'm surprised how similar his beliefs of no free will are to Robert Sapolsky's but from a completely different angle. It all just feels so compassionate.
I found you when you were interviewed for the second Zeitgeist movie in 2011. I subsequently watched your Stanford lectures while was a dishwasher at a restaurant. Maybe 8 or 10 of the lectures improved the way I think and the way I raised my children. Thank you for making complex, nuanced concepts accessible for people outside of academia. Thank you for your synthesis and insight. Cheers
For a few years now I have been loking for ways to find Sapolsky's work more easily online. I am so glad his offspring will be the media masterminds who spread more of his knowledge thoughout the world! Just went from having a favorite scientist to having a favorite family. Who would have guessed hahaha
Prof. Sapolsky, you are doing so much good for humans, I am so thankful you exist! Absolutely loved seeing you with your charming daughter! Thank you, thank you for everything you do! ❤
Delighted to know that you have a channel on your own. Looking forward for more videos from you, Robert. Love from a Malaysian. You are, to me, the best communicator of science. You have educated me via your books and videos immensely. Thank you. Cheers!
In my educational journey after Richard Feynman you made a big impact. Feynman for the Feynman's learning technique which says to check if you truly understand something then try to explain the concept without using technical words and instead describing what it is in simple words. And you for producing lectures which fits in Feynman technique format and to practically show how that technique works. Thank you professor :)
Thank you Dr. Robert for sharing your deep knowledge and wisdom. I look forward to hearing more of your thoughts and insights about life and the world.
Im so bummed I couldnt make it to San Jose last year to see him I really hope for more opportunities ! But, this is absolutely FANTASTIC! Your dad changed my life! What an amazing person and teacher❤❤❤❤
Hi Robert, you inspired me to get into University in biology. You show me that I wasn't a crazy teeneger, cinical and nihilistic when I use to struggle with this idea of free will. It never made any sense to me. Thanks for that. My question is about book recommendations about free will, human behavior and religion and also any other fictional book you like.
Your debate with Dennett changed my life. I'm reading your book Behave before moving on to Determined. You will never know the measure of peace you have brought me, I can clearly see the ways in which even someone like me is lucky (I have enough reading comprehension to understand your books) but I'm certainly not lucky enough to be disappointed by the conclusion.
Oh for cryin out loud! I just wrote a complete response to this fun new episode, got to the end and somehow the whole thing slipped and got deleted. Eeesh! Here's an abbreviated 2nd try - Very nice to meet Offspring and see a good dad/daughter team 🙂 Interesting questions. Though I didn't know him well, one of the most intellectually formidable people I ever knew was Jerry Garcia. He certainly played formidable guitar. I always loved to listen. The ability to embrace or express complex thought can happen through many pathways, including music and art. What kind of music do you like? On religiousity and anxiety - there have been some very good studies done on this. I know one finding was that patients who are prayed for, even from a distance, often have better outcomes. Here's a good author - Harold Koenig MD. His book- The Healing Power of Faith. Another good author- Bernie Seigel MD. He did some excellent work with cancer patients. Worth checking out. The hyena and the army ants - Yikes! What an experience Africa must be! I traveled some myself when I was younger, only around the States. One or 2 road stories ~ Thanks for sharing some fun. Good wishes to both of you.
I have listened to Robert's long wonderful lectures starting about 9 years ago. What a way to be able to afford to learn more w/o being in college. TY Robert. Am very happy to absorb/assimilate this Offspring podcast, and I'm hoping to learn more about his time with baboons and his reflections on what he learned about them and us humans. I have several deepish questions that are starting to form; I'm hoping that I can work on editing them so that I can be super super clear. But I'd like to tell Robert and you, Offspring :) that I finally forgave my ex-husband (who unfortch has passed and I can't tell him that I have forgiven him) But I now think he was just like a non-monogamous vole, and I'm just like a monogamous vole. Years of therapy didn't help, but Robert's perspective did. Free will doesn't exist.
Like Nauta, I listen to your lectures as a refresher I get the same response as well... I'm bored but intrigued because your voice is kind of soothing yet you don't fall asleep in the lecture... Great work...
So hilarious, and brilliant. Thanks for helping me much better understand my DEPRESSION/anxiety. Your updated lecture is riveting, honestly. Goodness. Stress. It makes so much more sense now. I've already found reprieve in ketamine(yes i believe it worked and furthermore i no longer feel the need) and a strict diet. I have a new tool, avoid stress,50 years is enough already. Thank you professor.
Watching your lectures and interviews had a major contribution in the change in my understanding of human behaviour and my love for biology .. Greetings from Egypt
Man of course his daughter is cool as heck. The old man must be so proud :) I've read Sapolsky's articles and books for many years, his lecture series on the biology of behavior at Stanford was posted around the same time i was getting my master's and interning as a mental health clinician. Totally changed my professional trajectory, and helped to change the way I think about life.
I've been wishing for something like this for more than a decade now and while I fully understand why anyone would want to not be involved w/ social media I'm immensely happy y'all are giving this a try! I hope all the positive comments and testimonies make this somewhat worthwhile for y'all
I watched Roberts interview about Free Will and plan to read his book. I have always thought one’s life feels like being swept down a giant powerful river. You can splash around all you want and occasionally grab hold of a floating log. But the current is all powerful. Eventually everyone goes over the falls and is gone forever.
I love this. I hope you will do this regularly and with more longer episodes :) I have a question: How did you raise your offspring knowing that there is no free will? It's inevitable to kind of leave aside the "there is no free will" belief if you want to teach something to your child? Best regards!
You are a straight up G. Can you comment on the idea of stored emotions and suppression... The idea of the body storing emotions and the illnesses people experience being related to their lack of processing of emotions and suppressing feelings?
Wow. Last time I saw you two together was I thing the documentary Stress; the portrait of a serial killer. You both look the same. And daughter you must own an amazing hair straightener.
As a clinical psychologist, I'm increasingly seeing the link between good mental health and religious belief as very tenuous. I'm sceptical of the true validity of studies which rely on self-report and basic measures. I come across so many religious people who don't recognise their own emotional vulnerability which is evident to others, stating their religion is their strength, etc while clearly suffering, particularly anxiety, but in denial.
OMG she is so sweet and still intimidated by her father in a really funny, playful way! I think I remember her from when she was a little girl helping her father in Kenya, taking blood pressure to a baboon... I don't know if it's her because I rememeber both kids with long curly hair.
Hello this is Karen from Sydney. Love your discussions. Just thought I'd add something to the lovely offspring! Trichotillmania can be a very distressing condition, particularly for a beautiful young woman. I'm a registered psychologist and also suffered OCD since I was 6. My daughter has ADHD and severe anxiety. She has been through some severe exacerbation of her anxiety and associated conditions. She is 30 and now only has hair pulling and skin picking when she is severely stressed. I hope 🙏 you get some control of your symptoms. I could see how distressed the symptoms make you. I LOVE your Dad's lectures so no criticism intended. I think perhaps these symptoms can be pleasurable but it's a spectrum, and so, I hope your symptoms abate. Looking forward to future videos!!
Pops Prof are you very tired ....... or maybe a little stoned ..... ? Enjoy your work in both content and delivery. You are lucky to have each other..... Respect and blessings to you.
LOL you guys are so cute! I was charmed by the whole thing! Been a big fan of Robert for a couple of years now. Caught a lot of interviews, watched many of his lectures and read Behave and Determined. I've resonated with all of his takes on free will and such but also appreciate his meticulous deconstruction of all the compatibilist attempts to justify the notion. I'm glad you have a channel - enjoyed your "off spring" too - does she have a name or is it a witness protection thing? Keep up the great work. I'm subscribed.
I thoroughly enjoyed this interview! I've been trying to find an answer for three years since I read your book Behave: When stress hormones get released what is happening on a cellular level to afferent parasympathetic ganglia? Are they hyper-polarized and can't "fire"? Or does the breakdown of parasympathetic function start higher in the hierarchy?
I could listen to him all day.
I would buy his audio books again if he did the voiceovers for all of them.
Why don't you then? Instead of wasting your time on nonsense
?
I never tire of his college lectures. As an 84-year-old, I'm forever seeking knowledge and have watched his lectures more than once.
cheers 🎉
🫂🤗
I'm 83 and I agree!
I'm also 84 and agree

Thanks for sharing your Dad with us 🎉
nothing better than to be born as an offspring of an intellectual parent
Unfortunately, not even one of the numbers matched on my genetic lottery ticket. 😞
Thank you for giving us this amazing content! ❤

Ditto!
I wonder how this relates to free will😮, but i had a similar experience after I listened to Hossenfelder on free will.
Same! They broke the mold with Sapolsky
Thank you offspring Sapolsky! The whole family shall cast quite the shadow.
Life's greatest stories have never been told, but this one, about his favorite professor, comes close.
Thank you for this, Papa & Offspring Sapolsky. 😂 Loved it!
Thank you father and offspring Sapolsky. I love listening to Robert always, and I can listen to Robert forever. ❤

I love seeing all these interviews popping up! Robert Sapolsky is the GOAT!

Please do one again! You’re lucky to have such a brilliant man as your father. His lecture on depression was absolutely fabulous.

I really hope for more opportunities ! But, this is absolutely FANTASTIC! Your dad changed my life! What an amazing person and teacher❤❤❤❤
Listening to this bloke takes me back to my university days. There is nothing like listening to a master of their subject.
Hi Robert, you inspired me to get into University in biology. You show me that I wasn't a crazy teeneger, cinical and nihilistic when I use to struggle with this idea of free will. It never made any sense to me. Thanks for that.
My question is about book recommendations about free will, human behavior and religion and also any other fictional book you like.
I'm down for anything with Papa Sapolsky ❤ Top of my list of people I would love to invite to dinner
What a beautiful daughter. Congratulations, professor

I can’t believe I’ve been missing these the past few months! Thank you guys so much for doing this. 🎉
Like Nauta, I listen to your lectures as a refresher I get the same response as well... I'm bored but intrigued because your voice is kind of soothing yet you don't fall asleep in the lecture... Great work...
Prof. Sapolsky is a legend. I enjoyed this video very much.❤
Dr Sapolsky talking about Prof Nauta might as well be describing how I feel about him !
Oh my god its Robert Plant!
I love this! Such a heart warming collaboration 💞 I wish I could have done something like this with each of my parents.
Wow That's amazing. you guys are amazing. Just subscribed to the channel. Love from Iran
What he said about religion causing the anxieties that religion then helps protect against absolutely had me roaring with laughter. Just delightful!
Great video! Fun to hear some questions that you don’t normally hear in interviews
What a great idea! I love your books and quote you all the time. Please offspring, convince your dad to do one more episode 😊
So hilarious, and brilliant. Thanks for helping me much better understand my DEPRESSION/anxiety. Your updated lecture is riveting, honestly. Goodness. Stress. It makes so much more sense now.

World! Goodnigt, world.😄I'll be following you from Denmark. Thank you for doing this. 🙏😍
Man of course his daughter is cool as heck. The old man must be so proud :)

crunchy ginger snaps like the real ginger ones from the local health food store back in the 70s and 80s were my daddy's most favorite too!
Lovely to hear father and daughter.
Glad you’re doing this and here is some engagement!
SAPOLSKY FTW
well I think I found what I'm going to watch for the next weeks
Stricking the emotions of Boredom, Death, Fear, and Surprise.
Very nice.
This is so fun and enjoyable to listen to! The story of the hyena is crazy.
This is a great idea so big thank to you guys for making this content available for all of us who cannot get enough of Sapolsky's thoughts.
She loves trying to make you laugh. Adorable family.
Great job Offspring! And not bad either, paternal unit! 🤓
May your fam be blessed.
Thanks for sharing your pops!
I love this. I hope you will do this regularly and with more longer episodes :)
I have a question: How did you raise your offspring knowing that there is no free will? It's inevitable to kind of leave aside the "there is no free will" belief if you want to teach something to your child?
Best regards!
What a fun treat this was!
You are a straight up G. Can you comment on the idea of stored emotions and suppression... The idea of the body storing emotions and the illnesses people experience being related to their lack of processing of emotions and suppressing feelings?
You both are amazing ❤ i would appreciate if you keep posting stuff on this channel.
Wow. Last time I saw you two together was I thing the documentary Stress; the portrait of a serial killer. You both look the same. And daughter you must own an amazing hair straightener.
i wish i had a dad like yours - so envious !!
Love this!!! What a great duo
This was wonderful. Thank you and please keep ‘em coming.
As a clinical psychologist, I'm increasingly seeing the link between good mental health and religious belief as very tenuous. I'm sceptical of the true validity of studies which rely on self-report and basic measures. I come across so many religious people who don't recognise their own emotional vulnerability which is evident to others, stating their religion is their strength, etc while clearly suffering, particularly anxiety, but in denial.
Thank you...
Loved this
This is great… thank you!
Excited to watch this when I wake up :)
Wonderfully done!
These are so awesome!
precious
OMG she is so sweet and still intimidated by her father in a really funny, playful way! I think I remember her from when she was a little girl helping her father in Kenya, taking blood pressure to a baboon... I don't know if it's her because I rememeber both kids with long curly hair.
Hearing about a wisened genius taking a piss is way more interesting than the same old same old. Thank for dribbling that one out👍🏼
This made me feel better about cold emailing you 😂 Really love the show!
That was absolutely delightful!
Question: Who’s someone Prof. Sapolsky would have loved to meet(would love to meet) but never could (never has)?
Hello this is Karen from Sydney. Love your discussions. Just thought I'd add something to the lovely offspring! Trichotillmania can be a very distressing condition, particularly for a beautiful young woman. I'm a registered psychologist and also suffered OCD since I was 6. My daughter has ADHD and severe anxiety. She has been through some severe exacerbation of her anxiety and associated conditions. She is 30 and now only has hair pulling and skin picking when she is severely stressed. I hope 🙏 you get some control of your symptoms. I could see how distressed the symptoms make you.
I LOVE your Dad's lectures so no criticism intended. I think perhaps these symptoms can be pleasurable but it's a spectrum, and so, I hope your symptoms abate. Looking forward to future videos!!
Pops Prof are you very tired ....... or maybe a little stoned ..... ?
Enjoy your work in both content and delivery.
You are lucky to have each other..... Respect and blessings to you.
this was wonderful..looking forward to more of these!!! so kool ta meet your offspring lol. hahaha the beard...the most important part!
LOL you guys are so cute! I was charmed by the whole thing! Been a big fan of Robert for a couple of years now. Caught a lot of interviews, watched many of his lectures and read Behave and Determined. I've resonated with all of his takes on free will and such but also appreciate his meticulous deconstruction of all the compatibilist attempts to justify the notion. I'm glad you have a channel - enjoyed your "off spring" too - does she have a name or is it a witness protection thing? Keep up the great work. I'm subscribed.
wow, this is really awesome, thank you ❤
Great channel ❤
I thoroughly enjoyed this interview! I've been trying to find an answer for three years since I read your book Behave: When stress hormones get released what is happening on a cellular level to afferent parasympathetic ganglia? Are they hyper-polarized and can't "fire"? Or does the breakdown of parasympathetic function start higher in the hierarchy?
Watching from France ❤
Gracias por compartir!
TY ❤️
Seems like I found a great series
Muito bom, mesmo!
Надеюсь разум когда нибудь победит.., чувственное восприятие и фантастические представления..
Спасибо!
А дочь - красавица!)
merci
offspring sapulsky....love her deep love of her pops, just watch her pausing framing her ....pop.
