I used to get depressed/anxious a lot but since I've had a few kids and started being active at my church I don't get that anymore - even when something bad happens. Things that would have totalled me before I am more able to cope now. I have community/ friends through church and my family. It's not just support, it's that they need me. They also force me to get out; my three boys need a lot of outside time. I have play dates/ classes I take my boys to and in friends with the moms so we get to have a chat while the boys play, church is twice a week too. I think it's that my life is now built so that it's not just mine; I have responsibilities to other people. I think that's what has been different for me at least and it has helped way more than when I was trying to perfect my diet or my sleep/ exercise and seeing a therapist etc.

I really like the distinction they're making between low moods and depression. A lot of the internet really focuses on mental health from a disorder point of view, but even totally normal people have low periods and it's interesting to think about how you can do things to minimize those moods or the occurrence of them.

Yo the flipping background actually sets the mood I don’t care how stupid people think it is it honestly is just so good at creating a scene.

I feel like it’s solid advice for people who actually have friends. I’ve reached a point in my life where I literally have no friends. The only contacts in my phone are family members and my work superiors. I legitimately don’t understand how to make friends as an adult.

I watched an eye-opening jaw-dropping episode on the pernicious effects of alcohol done by Andrew Huberman and went cold turkey quit alcohol .. My anxiety as well as the depression went away within weeks ... I am never drinking again and will be forever grateful for Andrew for that wonderful episode !

Tim is a huge positive influence on my life over the last decade - very grateful for his podcast and books which have been like an ongoing MBA - as a high school dropout this has been HUGE for me (and my bank account).

Exercise, social activities, sleep.. always good ;-)

Good advice if you have family and friends 😢

having the shower be COLD at the shower's end helps

I went through the comments and seriously being a human behaviour expert I see there is another bigger issue with people before sadness and that is how to make friends...how to communicate with people..how to see which ones are worth the friendship..which are not...I really wish schools teach these instead of regular subjects...

Love this, experienced the EXACT circumstance where one of my interests were down but hit a PR the next day and suddenly everything was fine lol. Walking the path.

Dope background

Several week long trips per year with family and friends alone would cure all my depression 😅 forget the rest of that stuff if i could do that.

Exercise is key. Prolonged feelings of uneasiness is definitely not ideal but some here and there in the short term can definitely be used for fuel in building something creative.

Love and purpose saved me from possible depression. I experienced super downdays or darknight of the soul. I feel so helpless especially when my children were still young. Because I wanna go to work but no one will take care of the children. That time between being a mom and being a professional I can't balance them.

Exercise is important but it can't cure depression. In my experience too much can actually contribute to it by making you feel depleted. More than anything you must learn to control your thoughts and find a purpose in life. Allowing the negative committee in your head to run away with itself will cause fear, anxiety, insomnia and depression. This is why prayer is so beneficial. Forcing yourself to focus on something positive like showing gratitude for the blessings in your life or thinking about someone else for a change is life altering.

Really cool that Tim is on some podcasts as a guest again. He was also on My First Million. Any other ones I missed?

The production level here is incredible Chris. Fair play.

100 % correct

Micro dose psilocybin. Worked wonders for me. I had been on Cymbalta for neuropathy for over a year. And I really didn’t like it after a while. I didn’t like who I was. And it didn’t give me enough relief to justify it. So I went off it. And for months after I was an emotional roller coaster. Mostly just depression. I decided to try micro dosing. And it changed everything for me almost immediately. I was only doing it once to twice a week. I have felt 2 kinds of depression. One is despair. That’s when u focus to much on things in life that aren’t going your way. This one felt chemical. Like I had no power to get out of it. And I couldn’t enjoy anything. I think that’s why it worked so well. Because it changed me on a chemical level. I never even took enough to feel any effects at all. It’s absolutely crazy how well it worked. Anecdotally I know. But I hope people look into it and it helps them. Not medical advice. Do your own research.

Well, you are assuming I have that many good friends and able to take time off for several weeks a year. Ha!

What if you're over 50 and don't have any friends? I haven't looked forward to anything in the last 10 years.

These are all really good, assuming you have friends.

Diversity is our strength. It feels right in this context 🎉🎉🎉

Hi there I have been listening and watching Modern Wisdom for more than 2 years now, also subscribed for a while now. I have one piece of feedback only about the RU-vid shows, I find the background very distracting and makes it hard to enjoy fully the conversations. I love the content, however I now consume Modern Wisdom solely in the podcast format. Please consider going back to the previous realistic, normal, maybe boring for some background. Congratulations for all the good content you are putting out there

Question: use cold showers for a rainy day so to speak or regularly? The latter would lead to adaptation which means the stimuli response of cold exposure lessens over time....

I don't know if cold exposure also includes my girlfriend being cold towards me.😅 It's making me damn sad though.

3-4 friends!!!

Wish these people had kids they were involved with to give advice for the rest of us...

So, besides the supplement sponsor there is Huberman's PR.. worth looking who has ownership of the company..

you guys look like brothers really like 100 % like brothers

WHERE IS THE FULL VIDEO?

"How to cope?"

I feel so pressured to drink in university, It's just uncomfortable

Sitting dow to have a chat with the most interesting people in the world is not a sacrifice Chris... even if i was in a hangover i would not cancel either

❤

Chris! You should a pod in a prehistoric setting with Dinosaurs walking in the background!!! I want to learn about male loneliness and the social media crisis with a giant TRex in the background 😂

What if you don't have friends

Curious abt the background... Did u record this episode in a church?

Must be nice to be so wealthy that 4-5 weeks of trips a year are no problem. Working for jerks and never getting time off is pretty depressing. If I got a month or two off every year I would feel better, too. Hey, if you aren't diversified and just work one job (for 10-12 hours a day), find time for rock-climbing? Can we get advice for people who aren't rich?

Jack Wilshere, but as a lifestyle guru.

You can hang out with friends without drinking and if that's not possible then you probably don't have the right friends or the right mindset and maybe you should worked on that

These clips are like spoiling the full podcast.

This video is packed with alpha

How can you expect calm and peace in mind when you had invaded million of people in iraq afghanistan japan how can you expect that united state of israel and america have blood of millions of kids in hands how can you expect the peace in your heart

5:35 true.. been feeling terrible ever since I had to give up on art due to ai.

I wonder why he prefers slightly smaller people for his wilderness adventures 🤔

If you want to correct your T, fix your diet before you touch any supplements...

Religion can help you with that existential spiral.

MONEY 😆

Where is having millions of dollars come in to play?

Should I listen to Tim Ferriss? Profound or bullsh!t artist?

lol you guys take yourselves way too seriously
