Quite honestly one of my favourite guests of all time... We had Luke a subscriber join us behind the scenes for this one, if you want to join us too hit the subscribe button, thank you all 🙏🏽
Currently listening to this and such a good discussion. Regarding the Lamborghini and whether to get one. The question is why? Why do you need one? Or are you car fanatic and wanted one since you were small. So if you get one, you got to use it properly and not keep it in a garage for the occasional drive and for taking pictures 👍 Another option is hire one and see if you love it for the right reasons
YES PLEASE !! Me and my friend Emily live in london and are constantly recommending each other your episodes 👌🏼 becoming more enlightened with each one!!
Thank you for this. Johann Hari is a phenomenon. I am a recovering heroin addict aged 54, spent more than three decades in active addiction and attempted to get clean countless times including 18 months in long-term rehab - when I watched his TED talk about addiction and connection it was an epiphany. Made more sense than anything I’d ever heard. Found a psychotherapist who turned me on to ‘Lost Connections’ and it - quite literally- changed my life.
Hello Steven. I only found your channel and podcast a week ago and this has been a complete game changer. I have worked my way through 15 episodes so far. You are so generous with your line of questioning, subject matter, and your guests. Johann has personally really touched a chord with me and I find his authenticity, way of seeing the world, and his vulnerability so beautiful. I just wanted to say thank you so much for helping me understand my World more clearly. I find myself at this point in my life to be bereft of any meaningful connections especially with other men. Your work is really helping me more than you realise. Thank you. You and Johann are incredible leaders and teachers.
@@TheDiaryOfACEO All I know is that I have found my tribe and people who can eloquently vocalise how and why I am feeling like I do in todays digital world. Thank you so much.
@Steven I work from home and love it - it's not that I don't want to be part of a community at work. I want to be part of my children's lives. Working from Home means, I can be a positive influence on my kids. WFH means being part of my family and not putting work first. WFH means I am part of my local community; I actually know my neighbours and I get to meet my kid's friends. When you are in your 40's have children, a wife and you don't want your kids hooked on Instagram, you need to work from home.
In my last two office jobs I was told off for talking and told this is not a social club it’s your job. I don’t think a CEO actually understands what the worker feels like. All my friends are from outside the office like clubs and martial arts etc. one fits all does not work in my opinion.
@@jaykanekong5805 Told off for talking where you work? Mate that is salty man, like why work there! Your work colleagues aint your real friends! When they change jobs you will never see them again! Like why don't organisations understand that?
Can't thank Steven and the team enough for having me in! It's so easy to see why this podcast is as successful as it is 🙌🏼 What an episode, what a guest!
Steven , you are also that conduit that for us, bringing together the people who have something important to say and the people who need to hear those things.❤
Robert Burton’s Anatomy of Melancholy, first published in 1621: "The remedy for melancholy is a diet of fresh, nutritious food; daily exposure to fresh air and sunshine, movement of the body in a way that feels good and to share a problem with a friend."
I’ve never realized that in person podcast ARE THAT MUCH BETTER. I always have a hard time when it’s via zoom or what ever it is. Makes sense why I love this podcast!!!
Not "mansplaining" but humansplaining. Really no need to put yourself down there thank you very much says this human who is named "woman'. Wonderful insights, fantastic positivity, captivating, emotionally brave, clarity-giving, honest words and stories. 🙏🙏🙏The only thing I didn't agree with was Johann stating that we need to "fight" for changes... I think we need to Love for changes. But I know 'fight' is just a turn of phrase, and used by many positive people and causes. Plus, Johann had literally only just said that we move forward with "love and compassion". I'll be looking out for more from this awareness-giving charismatic being.🥰😃🙏
I read chasing the scream about 10 years ago, he's someone trying to make a positive difference, to addiction, depression and all kinds of distractions 👍
Want to say first that I absolutely love this podcast and I've been listening to it for months now. That said, this older video was served up to me this morning and unfortunately I'm happy that I didn't see it as my introduction to this channel. You cannot apply your values to everyone else. Not everyone uses their workplace as a means for social connection. Working from home is not an impediment to social connection. People have families at home, children, friends, community groups and places of faith and worship... etc. As a young man who owns his own company, this may be YOUR ONLY source of community, but please do not apply that's the rest of us. A lot of us have enjoyed the ability to continue to have community and flex around work at the same time, which has been the enhancement and and work-life balance that we've been seeking. I'm not saying your view is wrong for YOU, I'm saying your view does not apply to everyone else. And I'm shocked to see you making such absolute statements, bc you have been extremely insightful in your questions and comments on other interviews. For those who want to have social connection, they should have the agency to find it, they shouldn't be overly reliant on work to provide that. Just like families shouldn't be overly reliant upon schools to teach their children morals or values. These public spaces can compliment what goes on at home, but they shouldn't be the only source, because you can lose a job, you can move and change schools, and what happens to those relationships then? C19 has shown the mental weakness and lack of emotional fortitude of many and shockingly so...
Like you, reading Lost Connections has probably been one of the biggest factors that has changed my life and I always recommend it to everyone I know. I'm so glad someone with a platform as big as yours is giving Johann's work the attention that it deserves. Everyone our age needs to read this book. If only there was a way to prescribe it to people! Thank you for another great episode
Evidently LOUD in words and gestures for a CERTAIN GENERATION!....Plenty of shades of mind being turned into a disease, so that at least Pharmacy Companies will be PLEASED! 🤯🤠🥶
Every single episode of your podcast positively changes my perception of something, you have the best guests and I think all in all your podcast is about opening conversations that positively impact people. I have loved listening to Johann Hari, he explains everything so well and clearly! Just ordered his books and I haven’t even finished watching yet!
This is such a mind-blowing discussion and interview I regularly listen to.. Helps me when I'm stuck in my own bs, so that I can get back on with important things. Fascinated by the points of benefits of psychedelics to whole health. A caveat though, is that coming out of Cape Town South Africa, there is a significant challenge with narcotic usage amongst adolescents. A massive percentage of our youth are impoverished, and live in neighbourhoods lacking favorable resources for positive developments. Hence illicit narcotics in high supply, amidst dangerous circumstances.
This episode is so eye-opening. I've been watching your videos for the past 12 days, I don't even know how many of your episodes I've watched. So thankful for the work you do and for sharing these gems. Thank you, Steven.
Kept thinking of the children's books by Phillip Yancey about the Wemmicks. I have no connections whatsoever for many years but listening to your podcasts has meant the world to me finding meaningful and passionate conversations.
This was just so so so important for me to hear I am in a real hard time with my husband and I think this will help us a lot ♥️ PLEASE don’t stop this work Steven it’s so fundamental important for all of us! Thank you 🙏🏻
I seem to know where the line in the sand is personally when it comes to boundaries. You gotta have something in life that’s worth Not crossing that line..
This was absolutely phenomenal. Definitely one of my favorites. Loved the depression bit about it not being a good analogy to a broken leg, I’ve always felt that as well.
As a teenager living on my own in London, LSD turned my life around, it gave me a Kickstart to a life of purpose. Fantastic interview, had me riveted. Thank you Steven, I have time for you Nuff, Nuff. 1Love.
I had to take my time to listen to this one and loved every single moment. Absolutely loved the part where Johann spoke of the anti-depressant in Cambodia being that they took the time to understand the farmer and gave him a cow and makes me long for a day where we have more people who would take the time to understand their fellow human
Ok, my life dream now is to meet and become friends with someone like Johan. What an incredible, smart beyond words person!! Total pleasure to listen to this.
There is only 2 responses I have had with Depression: Neglect and Force. People don't care about other people that do not side kick to their story. We are all the Heros of our own Story. The center of the Universe. Anyone that does not support our internal narrative are not part of it. So those with 'mental health issues' rarely do well, unless its a 'Pitty Party'. Then there is Force. When things become dire and there is a risk of physical harm, even if its only a threat, the might of our 'Armed Forces' takes over. They use the power of their Physical Power, the ability to completely overwhelm and control you as a tool. And when the dust settles. Nothing. There is no follow up. Even if there was a risk of physical harm, the follow up does not come in and aid. Instead, your left with a bad taste in your mouth about everything.
When i used instagram, twitter & facebook i was soooo introverted & miserable, addicted to it aswell. So for me being off it for so long has been interesting but lonely aswell. It can disrupt stuff to be on it
This was absolutely brilliant. There's so much to reflect on from this. I think one of the biggest take aways was "living consciously within the machine"
I remember watching this 2 years ago and then today watching the most recent podcast interview you did with Johann on Ozempic and I can also agree with you that he is my favourite podcaster. He lives and breathes intelligence and is so informative and engaging, amazing story telling skills. Love love love this so much!!
Excellent and insightful podcasting with great guests Steven. Appreciate that you give conversations the time to breathe. 100% agree that you cannot connect on anywhere near the same level through Zoom and Teams the way you can through face to face connections. Keep up the great work and keep it live! Thank you.
I feel after watching this, I have just graduated from a college course,soooooooooooooooo much information ,wisdom ,knowledge .I will watch it again with a pen and a note book, Thank you.PS,Can you intervue more women ,pretty please.
Just Wow! The connection between childhood abuse/trauma and being obese just blew my mind! Book is on the way..just ordered! I've always heard you talk about this book, but now hearing the author himself! I just have to read it! Thank you for being you!
Really enjoyed this and will continue watching your episodes. I am not a podcast person but I really love the vulnerability and the emotion in the the conversation.
A bit late to the party but just bought the book and looking forward to diving in. I have heard Johann talk before about addiction and other subjects and he seems to be an all of nothing man. He gets right under the skin of the subject and is able to translate his thoughts clearly. Great interview, you let him talk and develop his thoughts rather than interrupt and impose your thoughts.
I know this video is old but I wanted to share another side of the work-at-home time we experienced during Covid. The view shared here is true, but only one side of the story. So what do I mean? Well for the everyday average person it was great! No commute, you get off work you are already home! What! AMAZING .. It Saves Gas time Energy... More time for Family OMG Working from home is amazing for the employee. Employers are just scared of losing the foot on their worker's neck. The views here are not wrong but it only applies to some and so my viewpoint is the other side of the same coin. Workers can be just as productive at home without the hour commute, cost of gas, eating out, etc. Wanting your employees in the office when it can be done at home is just keeping the "old" antiquated oppressive idea that you are buying the workers instead of just buying their production/ work.
Brilliant podcast! I absolutely LOVE your videos! And I know I probably sound like most of your subscribers/follower but I would soooo love to see you record these podcasts! definitely willing to travel to London if I had to!
Hi Steven. I only found this podcast about a month ago and am gradually working through all the episodes, started with Jamie Carragher which was fascinating. Due to talking about Huel in the Podcasts I have started using it in the last week or so, with the Banana flavour one, and since I’ve started having it I’ve been feeling a lot better.
Fantastic conversation! Thankyou Steven and your team for bossing this podcast. So much appreciation for you all! And thankyou Johann for all the work you do you are a joy to watch! X
Incredible delayed gratification - not using interview material for 7 years - wow! Great insight and a lesson for us all to do the hard and detailed stuff and not expect immediate 'likes'.
