How To Keep Calm During An Argument (Be like Joe): don't raise your voice don't move too much control your breathing attack the argument, not the person Be humble and modest

It's so hard not to get nervous and my heart racing when arguing with someone. Especially when they are being totally unreasonable

I learned decades ago on a debating team that self control was even more important than material knowledge of the subject. The trick was to be measured and calm, even when being made uncomfortable, and it will happen. Joe does a great job with interviews, not just by his questions, but by his reserve and professionalism.

Joe is a good example of a guy who has his shit together. A guy who's shaped himself into his best version. It's admirable.

1. Don’t raise your voice 2. Watch your posture (don’t take up too much space and don’t move to much) 3. Control your breathing 4. Don’t attack the person’s character 5. Understand your ego (don’t cling to who you think you are)

the thing i like about joe rogan is that he wasn't always like that, which means he figured it out and made a conscious decision to conduct himself this way

Not raising your voice and keeping calm often drives the person you're agruing with nuts and makes them even more angry.

Joe: Have you ever tri- Neil: The mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell

All you need to do is question him on weed and he forgets all these calm techniques

I don`t deliberately raise my voice, i don`t like to intimidate people, i get too emotional when its something i am passionate about.

"If you feel the urge to prove yourself right, first try to prove yourself wrong." This helps to eliminate any counter arguments against you.

He who raises his voice first, loses the argument- Ancient Chinese proverb

Here's Joe Rogan's mantra for staying calm during an interview; "Spotify is paying me 100 million bucks. Spotify is paying me 100 million bucks. Spotify...".

Tyson doesn’t like anyone else talking but himself.

This has been so enlightening. My mother hijacks my amygdala on a daily basis and in response I always say ridiculous things i regret. This is made worse due to my chronic cortisol issues which are due to being severely abused in my childhood. I'm so fed up of her bringing this side out of me. It's a vicious circle. I want to keep calm and not let her get a rise out of me. She has this power over me that must be stopped. I will practice these techniques. Thank you.

My girlfriend gets even more mad at me when I stay calm and she says I’m too nonchalant about it. I can’t win man

I've been practicing just not raising my voice for a week now, not just when actually talking to people but more importantly with the self talk in my head and rehearsing arguments. I've found it amazingly powerful for reducing feeling anxiety and anger

Isn't the simple answer to Joe's calmness all the weed he smokes?🤣👀😂

Also something that wasn't mentioned - If you're in an argument and you keep getting cut off while talking, just sit silent and let the other person go on a rant. Once they're done they'll realize that they're very loud and detached from the point of the argument.

You can tell Joe wants to slap the universes out of Dr. Neill DeGrasse Tyson.

wow I really needed this. Im in a situation where I am chronically interrupted and been losing my cool lately, which is something I've been extremely self-aware of in most situations in the past few years, but this one has been a chronic challenge and I do not want to be reactive. TY for this gem.

After searching and going through several videos on this topic this video comes out as the best , it’s not too long, not too preachy, provides practical advice with enough scientific and visual evidence that convinces me to work on my inability to win arguments productively, thank you so much.

It is the mark of an Educated mind to be able to Entertain a thought without Accepting it. Bravo Joe.

The main thing: don't debate with your emotions, educate yourself and use logic and facts. Conversations are derailed when people get emotional and Joe would agree.

Every single one of these points will only escalate an argument with my wife 😂

He’s fully in control of himself and it’s AWESOME. That is where your real power is, is when you don’t let others actions or words control your actions or words. I’ve stayed calm with mild responses with people yelling in my face 😳 it’s hard but it’s about know you’re in control of yourself…helps to be secure and confident in yourself too.

never realized that Neil does that a LOT

Whenever I realize I'm talking with someone that likes to interrupt i start to interject less and less until it's just them talking to themselves. But I hold eye contact with them with an expectant look. Eventually most people realize what they're doing and start to let me talk. But if they don't I just say, "hey I gotta go" and double jet.

Great video. I love Rogan's podcasts and have really come to admire his style of talking to just about anyone.

I know this is an old video, but I was looking for this because I wanted to know more about how to handle confrontations. I think that a lot of this is common sense, but at the same time during the confrontation, I think that goes out the window. I think that you did a really good job of putting all of these ideas together

The true power is the self esteem Joe has cultivated by working out, chasing his dreams, growing spiritually. He also focuses on truth, but also recognizes he doesn't know everything and wants to give people the platform to express themselves.

He's calm until somebody gets knocked out. "OHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!" - Joe Rogan 😂

I love Joe, literally listen to him every single day hes one of my role models. That being said, these interviews were hand selected. Joe loses his temper alot too. I can show 4 podcasts off the top of my head where he used NONE of these tactics.

This is exactly the video i needed. So well informed too! Definitely earned yourself a new Subscriber!

A lot of this is just maturity.

"He keeps his mouth open all the time... I suspect that this helps him breathe." i don't know man i wouldn't go jumping to conclusions here

Right on time with this! Excellent insight, thank you!🙏

It helps when you know you can kick whoever's ass is arguing with you 😂

Over analysis, he’s just chill because he is stoned.

"You can tell from his micro-expressions"... micro? Joe is literally rolling his eyes at one point when Neil interrupts him :D

This was a great learning tool. Thank you. Even though we think that we know how to handle ourselves.... it becomes apparent, at least to me, That we let our emotions take over . To have these simple tools are a great way to maintain some control, or at least make us aware, that we can let things get out of of control so easily. I know more than at least a hundred times... that I've fell into this emotional trap and just tried to over talk someone, and I hate myself when I do this . So... to have these tools and to make oneself aware of these flaws, is a great step forward, and should hopefully help to learn how to keep emotions out of a debate or an argument. Again, thanks

I found this very helpful. I don't raise my voice but I keep a commanding authoritative tone and keep control of the argument

As a lifelong martial artist, I can tell you that his background in martial arts plays a major role. A truly refined martial artist understands that 'calm is the ultimate superpower'.

They're not arguments, by any stretch of the imagination. Joe is almost never emotionally invested in any of the things his guests talk about. He has them on for a reason, to let them share their opinion, views or expertise. This is his podcast, no one is coming on to demolish him or dominate him in an argument. They're simply fired up about a subject they are passionate about in that moment. Joe is also usually stoned or has a few drinks in him. He doesn't give an F, nor should he. He has this platform for a reason.

Joe is a true professional and a fantastic role model.

Very informative, thanks

This video came out in 2019 but all the comments are from like 3 days ago

Neil tyson is the most annoying guest Rogan has ever had....dude loves listening to himself more than anyone

I needed this. Thank you 🙇🏾‍♂

COLLECTIVE WARRIOR. Joe you are a model of a person that can cope with life at the coal face. You've instilled the teachings to stay calm and collective, maintain your forbearance. They say follow the word and not the person. True that, but you can follow people who walk their talk. Excellent Joe.

1) Weed. 2) He prioritizes hearing the other person's perspective over winning an argument...which is in part because he runs the podcast and can broadcast his thoughts later.

Always remember. It's a practice. Every day. Good luck everyone!

Great basic points. Thank you.

Great video! Thanks.

"I suspect, this is how he breathes" Turned into a biology class right there.

Joe is almost an enlightened being without being aware of it.

wow this is such an incredibly helpful video for this random RU-vid addict that stumbled across it. This will probably have a significant effect on how i communicate with people. Thanks man

I've saved this. Thank you for the info and look forward to more on this channel.

I love an entire video braking down Joe's "monk like" interview style, his complex breathing and talking techniques, in reality Joe takes 2 tokes before each interview. Thats the entire technique.

Imagine if he just round house kicked Tyson’s head off.

Great stuff, thank you!

Great video, thank you!

"Getting ready to fight" *plays clips of people bussin a move*

I doubt Neil is ever invited back on the show.

"Living and dying well" was so well executed and suited at the end of the video😯😯

Very helpful!! Thank you

I've lost so much respect for Neil over the years.

Don't raise your voice, improve your argument.

The problem with playing it cool with an angry person is, they become more frustrated because they feel that your trying to be the bigger person and it makes them feel like they are the bad person and makes them more inflamed and they attack harder because they are not able to suck you into their mindset of being angry and the conversation goes on for a very long time as they try harder to make you mad also, which kind of crushes your soul to a certain extent while trying to be nice.

Thank you for the wisdom. We have all been wounded greatly. Making changes to how we unconsciously react to anger is a huge step to healing these wounds.

Damn do I need this badly. So tired of people knowing the buttons to push with me.

He's fighting. He's using the same techniques fighters use to keep themselves calm and thinking in a fight rather than devolving into frustration and fighting on instinct. You have to be able to adapt as you go just in case someone is using a technique that's been tailor made for you.

This is great. I'm not part of the "cult-like-Rogan-following" but I love the way Rogan directs conversations. This helps me understand why.

Very good video! Thank you for this!

bruh the amount of times neil cut joe off, it seemed like a prank

He is a life long Martial Artist. He is trained to stay calm during stressful situations.

Every person on social media needs this video, lmao. This what causes our polarity now, cause we don't know how to argue with class and calm.

This is really informative. Thank you.

He also always looks down or at Jamie when he’s annoyed with his guests.

In Short "Im a dude playing a dude, disguised as another dude".

Bro I fucking appreciate this video on so many levels. Not only are you vividly descriptive but you also explain the biological science behind the feelings I’m trying to keep in check. Much respect man and many thanks 🙏 I do like learning about myself and our past as a species and not only how to fix the problems I face but also why we face them in general.

The way you said “I appreciate you”. That’s why I hit subscribe.

He looks like a monk because he’s bald, not his breathing lol

A big grin usually keeps you calm in an argument whilst making the opponent less calm and appear the aggressor. Play the fool, defeat the fool

Impressive, I've not followed him much, but I immediately caught this about him. In today's age, while everyone is triggered and immediately ready for the fight and all amped up, often with false facts or premises, I thought I should follow him to learn his cool responding. It's nice to see every step illuminated.

Thanks, great video, very perceptive catching Rogan's process. Maintaining self-awareness in any situation is Key. Thanks for the reminders!

The mans done wonders for me , got me out of a dark dark place through his advice on diet and exercise I came good. I love the man

This is such good advice. In my office each day alone i witness at least 5 arguments involving raised voices. Mostly to do with Ego and people identifying with their position too much.

Thank you this was well thought out

this was very helpful thankyou

Joe developed the ability to stay calm far before his podcast my dude

Thank you for this. I got into a argument last night with someone I really care about and I don’t want to lose then due to my own actions taken during a conversation. We are talking today taking notes on this and re reading them over and over again helps me prepare for our conversation.

Great material, learnt a lot! Thanks and all the best to you!

Great video thanks

Joe is the only host that I know that lets the person in front of him actually speaks
