To Anyone Feeling LOST & UNHAPPY, Watch This To FIND MEANING In 2024 | Rick Rubin 

Sometimes I feel like the RU-vid algorithm is conspiring with the universe to bring me the most meaningful content at the right time. Much Gratitude!

May I be filled with love and kindness, May I be well, May I be peaceful and at ease, May I be happy 💗

I hate finding the best advice, the best knowledge, and having a brain that doesn’t let you believe a second of it

Yes, if you have money, you can move to a beach and live your life there. This is a factor that should be taken into consideration when giving wise answers.

Of all the interviews people on RU-vid have with Rick, Yours is the best because your silence directs, while being a good listener like the audience, not going back and forth, Subtle but very important

I just feel such gratitude being in this era of podcasts. What a blessing hearing people, great minds, sharing their thoughts and experience without hurry nor agenda. "Internet" 's what you make it. Talk Talk

I sense no ego's here, just two wonderful people giving lots of value to make your life better.

I am starting over at 60. I definitely know that believing matters. I know I need a coach who is open consciously. But I am moving along. I have The Creative Act. It's everything Rick Rubin for me now.

Rick is like the old wise man who arrived at his wisdom through the years of living and he's kind enough to share his journey with us, thank you Rick

Rick Rubin is the guy a therapist calls when he needs to talk to someone.

Easier to be a free spirit if you're rich lol

I love how Rick talked about his depression. That really resonated with me....before I was 21 yrs old, nothing really bad had ever happened to me. Of course my life wasn't perfect, but when I lost my first love and husband, father of our 4 yrd old son, when he died in a motorcycle wreck, it felt like the bottom my world just dropped from beneath me. I felt like I was smothering in pain for so long, but at some point my still young and immature mind reasoned with me that now "my bad thing" had happened to me, then I felt free, happy and foolishly felt like the rest of my life would be great...lol. Maybe I was still immature enough to feel carefree again finally. Six months after my husband died, our son suffered a major brain injury when a little girl found a pellet gun in my brother's yard and shot him in the right temple. The pellet traveled thru his brain to the back, where it remains today 34 yrs later. Those few weeks before I knew if my son would survive and whether he would have any quality of life again, the fear and pain was surreal and all I could think about was how I wanted to cease to exist to escape the raw, immeasurable pain. Obviously those two tragedies didn't define my life, but the lessons I learned by the time I was 22 yrs old were so valuable. I was determined to never feel sorry for myself and I raised our son to know that bad things happen to everyone, and that he didn't deserve any special treatment. I think during that time I almost started "expecting" bad things to happen at any given moment and still deal with depression and PTSD today at 54. Our experiences don't define us but they sure do play a major role in how we react and respond to the world around us. Still learning and trying to remind myself to embrace and enjoy the moment because the fleeting nature of time is like an exciting but dangerous dance with no rhyme or reason. I love how humble Rick and Dr Chatterjee always seem to be...humility and compassion definitely can't be taught, both are like beautiful scars that we carry with us for the rest of our lives.

"Podcasts are the modern day campfire." I love that! 😊💖

The last ten minutes of this interview are incredible. His advice there is a real treasure! I am a professional musician who always loved painting as well. Over the last four months I made over fifty paintings and it feels like I'm getting better at it. I also discovered that the same rules of creativity are in all art forms. Rick summs them up in the last minutes of this interview and I wrote them down for myself to remember them: 1. developing your “voice” by doing the work: "I would say, if you found your writing voice on your fifth book we can learn from that: So it sounds like if you’ll come to your fifth album you find your voice vocally and it’s not going to happen without doing the work. ... But it won’t happen without doing the work and it’s only going to be the work that’s going to make it happen." 2. Surprise yourself by trying many different approaches: "Try it all. ... Try things. See what happens. Surprise yourself with what works for you. ... You learn both through succesful and failed experiments. Each one will get you closer to where you’re going. It’s impossible to know until you try as many things as you can try. And you’ll be surprised. ... And you will also find out what’s most fun. Like what part of the discovery process is most exciting to you." 3. Energy, creativity Do you feel there is a limit to creativity? - "No, no, no. You may run out of energy, but not creativity. You may be too tired, but that’s all. In some ways the more you engage in different creative practices, the better they all get. The thing that tabs out first is just energy. You run out of steam. But not out of ideas or creative spirit. It’s eternal and forever."

I fucking love this guy. Authenticity is a turn-on.

The only thing that stops us from experiencing joy is ourselves. You can change job and relationships as many times as you want but you’re still going to be bringing yourself to the new job and the new relationship. Avoidance of discomfort is a guaranteed hindrance to inner growth.

Rick Rubin and Rangan Chatterjee both give us an example of being good humans. Not in a hurry, no need to talk over each other, carefully listening and absorbing what the other person has to say. I think this is the way I try to be: Take people for who they say they are, listen to what they have to say about who they have become through their experiences in their lives. Show interest and leave your judgement elsewhere. Not just listen, but hear and feel. This is the way to honest one to one conversation, be willing to learn from each other and appreciate each other as we do our best to appreciate ourselves. These two humans give me an example of the good things I find in myself as well as other humans.

10 mins in and I’m empowered and bought the book. I’m a Broadway actor transitioning into studying traditional Chinese medicine in grad school, and this interview has been so inspiring! Thank you!

It's so refreshing to hear an MD say how much he doesn't know and how much more there is to learn. All MD's need to show more of that humility.

This reminds me of why I did my most creative act so far, unschooling my sons. Teachers were being saddled with strict guidelines so much so that their passion and choices for teaching were being substantially undermined.

As a painter of 30 years who makes up riffs , drumbeats and melodies and performs to the paintings until something asserts itself and I know what to paint next.... much gratitude for this podcast and Ricks wise words.

This is a good 2.5 hours of life guidance. I've discovered the cog at the bottom of the screen and found that changing playback speed to 1.25 x is good 😇

Because of the algorithm, I've listened to a lot of Rick's interviews on his book tour. This was by far, my favorite. The genuine curiosity in this conversation is so refreshing. No peacocking. Real conversation. I wish I had heard this before reading The Creative Act.

Art and life are not separate, life is an art.

I love that you choose your guests rather than allow the "desires of the people" to make your choice

I like it how Rick calls things that are obvious...yet so hidden. Simple things...that we tend to complicate.

“You can go live on a beach, there are so many options”. Spoken like a rich person. A lot of us have absolutely zero options or path out of the 9-5 death cycle.

“Insecurity is only a hindrance when you stop sharing what’s in your heart.” - Rick Rubin This is profound. Well, them, let’s keep sharing what’s in our hearts, creative souls. ✨😊🍀🔥⚡️♾️✨ Another great episode. ❤

A few years ago, during the summer, I was sunbathing in the back garden. A Robin landed on my forehead and started singing and then flew off. I'm very lucky too as I get butterflies, dragonflies and bats here. I've also had a Sparrowhawk sitting on the back fence. I think they have been asked by Spirit to visit me 😊

I love the opening. “Make more beautiful things.” and knowing we have control of our life to yield good results. Needed to hear this

I normally wake up feeling guilty when I pass out for an hour after dinner, knowing it'll keep me awake later, but not today, as I slept I dreamed and you both were right there talking away and when I woke all I felt was a bliss I don't think I've ever known, as if the vibe that runs between you both nestled itself in my psyche. Need to buy that book now. You two should talk again.

Just finished the book and it is INCREDIBLE!!!! Such a gentle soul that helped me remember why I’m doing art and giving myself more permission to make it even more about me -

I love how Rick tends to become the interviewer for a period of time in many of the podcasts I’ve heard him in. Really awesome that he does that and takes interest in the interviewer.

The time scale is what I have a problem with. I want to make a difference now, not tomorrow. Not in three days so I need to work though my trauma now. Not in 3 years... NOW!

We are in control. We are supposed to make the right choices.

Perhaps the characteristics of a legend is humility and a mind that is forever curious

I love that you choose your guests rather than allow the "desires of the people" to make your choice. It makes the whole thing genuinely contemplative and deeply informative. This is not an ordinary podcast or interview. It's an opportunity to connect, introspect, and glean awareness. It is an opportunity to introspect and create an informed view of oneself and therefore the planet.

I love listening to rich guys with no constraints talk about how free we are to change our lives. If it were so easy, we wouldn’t be searching for insight on how to make a change

I love the way Rick brings out the soul of the interviewer..always. It is beautiful.

Wow, what a lovely, grounded, deep thinker Rick is. He has done incredible things in his life and worked with immense talent, and yet he is so humble. What a wonderful and eye opening interview. I'm definitely going to read his book.

Jesus Loves you and has a great plan for your life. Be blessed everyone reading

With all due respect RR, not everyone can simply move to another corner of the planet were there is beach in order to improve one's life. Money is a factor for many of us. If I wasn't living at the poverty line, I'd have more options and I could improve my life a lot easier too. In all sincerity if this was you, how would you get around this? Many people are spent, exhausted and also working their asses off. A feeling of hopelessness is paramount right now for numerous people.

Masterful man bordering on Guru status. self made, humble, genius understanding individual.

I think it's so great that one of the only times we see Rick laugh and smile is when he talks about how perfect the Earth, Wind, and Fire album is.

This guy is brilliant and I like the tuft of hair sticking up.

Can we all pay a large respect to Mr. Rick Rubin for sharing with us all his wisdom and kindness

He's right, save yourself.i was taught caring for everybody else before self, in elated to hear something positive. Write a new story! Then experience that for self.

What a pleasure to listen to two highly intelligent people speaking rationally and from the heart - no hidden agendas or tricks or gimmicks. I learned so much. Rick was so generous with his thoughts and feelings. And Rangan was such a skilled interviewer that gave him a huge space and variety of avenues for discussion. Thank you.

Thank you for leaving room for Rick to speak and share, and for continually drawing the conversation back to the book. Enjoyed your interview much more than others where the hosts seemed much more interested in telling Rick about his book, rather than learning from him. Thanks again!

Its not too often you get spiritual direction from a legend like Rick, honestly hearing words like this from someone ive looked up to in music is extremely moving

Enlightening! So true and so many are afraid to admit how much in control we really are, I've been afraid to change many times but faith in the self to make those hard but necessary changes for the soul made a world of difference. Not everyone will agree, not everyone will understand - so be it, it's our life - not everyone needs to know, perhaps nobody else truly needs to know why we make decisions for our life unless we truly _want_ to share.

Biggest lesson I learnt in 2022 in the stock market is that nobody knows what is going to happen next, so practice some humility and follow a strategy with a long term edge.

To stay with the last words: an absolute pleasure indeed. Thank you Dr. Chatterjee first for this channel and having mr. Rubin on the show sharing his gems of wisdom, wow. I guess what makes you a great MD, interviewer and musician is that you're a very good listener. Thanks again for inspiring people.

This dude is so right. Everything he says resonates with me. You gotta start taking care of yourself first before you can take care of anything or anyone else.

This is the first time I have ever watched a channel for over two hours on RU-vid. I can say it was worth every second! Definitely going to share it with my peeps! Thank you for sharing with me. This was what I needed.

Really love this interview. The way you both communicated without interrupting each other (seems like everyone nowadays) was so beautiful. You guys are truly special

I simply love listening to Rick Rubin's voice! Just beautiful!!!!

Im here for The Legendary Rick Rubin 👑💯🙌🔥🤞🚀

I want to praise you DR for being humble and thoughtful

THE TITLE LITERALLY DESCRIBES HOW IM FEELING AND THE WHOLE I JUST OPENED UP RU-vid AND RANDOMLY THOUGHT TO SEARCH UP 'RICK RUBIN WISDOM' ...I hope the source is guiding me to something solutions..because I feel like I'm just lost and drifting.

Sometimes its good to just sit and listen to a wise man speak words of wisdom

Incredibly grateful to have been given the opportunity to hear this

Thank you for having maskless conversations for us viewers to be inspired by. Beautifully truthful, humble and touching. Thank you

Thank you! Found this at a time when I feel so lost and it helped me find compassion for myself, see the world with an open heart, and learn that the right things and the mistakes, all get you closer to where you need to be. ❤

Rick is right but he also has a MASSIVE amount of Courage and Belief and he has from early on thats why he is where he is today much respect to him, a lot of people don't have that kind of Courage he has and feel stuck and they must Conquer that first.

Peace, Love, enlighted

Coming from where Kurt came from, emotionally and phycologically, he felt he needed to fill that empty, loveless void inside Jim with something. The pain he felt fueled and enabled him to make the real, intense art he made, unfortunately there was never and would be ever enough love to fill that void. I do believe the best art comes out of touch, difficult upbringings, the art that comes from this is pure instinctual, it's survival, raw true unmanufactured expression. I simply adore Mr Rubin.what a gift his book will be. Very much looking forward to consuming it. Thank you.,

It´s in everyone´s interest to take care of ourselves... 👏👏👏

Authentic, author, authority. We right our own sentances with the words we speak

The real change comes from within

This is probably the greatest conversation I have ever listened to. It’s crazy cuz I’ve had the same mentality lately about always progressing & being a better artist tomorrow than I was yesterday & constantly improving

Have listened to feel better live more for a good few years now. Have loved the health and wellness advice. Was very surprised to see Rick Rubin but absolutely loved it!!! An authentic life is a creative life. Loved Rick Rubin's work and his podcasts / interviews. He is such an inspirational person. Bought his book as well after listening to this...... Thanks again for this!

One of the best interviews I've ever heard. Thank you both for blessing us ✌️❤️😊

This is so true!!! Why do people stay in situations that make them miserable??? Often times they really dont have to be miserable. Some people are addicted to be miserable

This was beautiful. Full of ebbs and flows, super real, resonating and full of warmth. I’m an artist that has struggled so much mentally, physically and spiritually not just to make it as an artist but to come to acceptance of the ebbs and flows of life and not realising my blocks to enjoying and trusting myself and the process. Now however with support I am moving rapidly through and this podcast resonates and reassures me, gives me comfort in the whole process of creation AND life ! So thank you so much for your sincerity and authenticity 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼😎

In control until your not. Any given Sunday albeit a car accident, a sudden death or health event can change that perspective on a dime.

Someone needs to do a movie on Rick Ruben’s life, PLEASE!! it would definitely be a blockbuster…

The key 🗝️ being attached to learning, even about opposing opinions. Not being attached to ego or being "right"👍🏼💕

Wonderful interview with the genius Rick Rubin, who is the biggest influence on music production. To be an admired human and professional being, who loves what he does deeply.

We all are artistists and some kind of caregivers to help our fellow humans.

Rick Rubin is a gift. He is amazing.

Rick deserves a lifetime achievement recognition of some sort

Grateful to be a fly on the wall listening to two great minds. Humbly having a conversation with the other. Mr. Rick Rubin often saying "yes" while listening seems so empowering. A great speaker and listener 🙌🙏

The idea of health being a creative journey is really fantastic! What a beautiful way to look at it.

but word. yes focus on yourself! People keep asking if I have a lady, or kids like thats a benchmark i should have reached by my age, and honestly i let that benchmark, that pressure to follow the same path as my parents etc, take priority over focusing on building myself up, man if you aint got a foundation to build on then your house aint going to be able to weather a storm

great podcast. i could listen to him talk all day. such a calm, soothing voice filled with wisdom and compassion.

Beautiful kind conversation that made me cry at the end because I can see the emotion in Dr Chatterjee’s eyes and I love how both of these genuine men have integrity.

Great insperation for me to stop sleep walking. 67 and still have lots to give. Being a widow for 7 yrs and loving my husband has been a challange to let go and live again. Thanks Gentlemen. The song Sleepwalk could be background music for this Podcast, Right. Be Well Pam

Dr Rangan your choice of guests is absolutely remarkable.. ❤️ Thank you for the great interview.

I Love alll of Dr. Chatterjee’s podcasts. The information and content are always engaging. This is the best I’ve heard so far- not just of the Doctor, it’s the blending of host and guest. A wonderful gift for all of us.

Beautiful conversation, Rangan! It‘s wonderful to see, how much you enjoy your conversations and what impact they have on you and your personal development!

Great, great conversation! Wise words, can't wait to now read Rick's book. Thank you for this authentic connection.❤

So refreshing to hear this today! Llang taught this to his clients so they wouldn't need therapy any more. He taught them self-actualisation. Pity therapists today don't tell the truth now days. It's all validation and retrospective. There are so many people in fantasy commitments. Staying in place out of a sense of duty and fear of other people's perceptions and judgements about them - internally (the judgemental voice) and overtly in social circles and wider family. At the end of the day your own integrity is far far more important than anyone else's opinions of you/us. Usually people who judge you, fear that disturbance you're causing in their paradigm. Obviously I'm not talking about committing evil acts. But if what you really want is not harmful to people, not really (even if they blame you for causing a disturbance), you should go after it. Be honest! 🙏🦋

Moving doesnt change anything. Im always here. Animal abuse still exists. Trying to be happy

There are some really great points in here that have taken me quite a while to realize in business and in art/creativity. Namely, all of the comments regarding ego and intention. If we are trying to please the crowd or make money, etc, then we aren't focussing enough on the art itself and it will diminish the quality. It is also tremendously important, and a deep spiritual truth, to be able to look at things objectively (aka awareness) instead of personally. It is so much more palatable to confront something with objective language instead of personal language.

I am lost and unhappy so watched this and well, nothing happened. Rick seems a lovely, lovely human being. Namaste.

My heart is filled with joy while I am listening your conversation with Mr. Ruben. The joy I feel in my heart is so sublimely and humanly beautiful, hopeful and lifting ... Thank you for sharing your genuine thoughts and feelings! The most beautiful and powerful nourishments in my soul and spirit! Thank you!!! Theresa

First time listener and new subscriber. You guys are so refreshing and calming. Just what I needed. Much gratitude for your wisdom as well as your outlook on life. Life can be difficult yet to remind us that life is good. I have been working on myself to NOT be so 'mad at the world' and make peace for a more enjoyable self and life. Again thank you for your messages. Logical and morally correct. My kinda peeps. Bless you !!

Wow! I feel calm and at peace while listening to this podcast. Thank you ❤💜💛💚💙

Both of these men are incredibly mindful… awesome talk.
