Jimmy Carr: The Easiest Way To Live A Happier Life | E106

This was not the conversation I was expecting from Jimmy but it was definitely one of my favourites….. hit like and subscribe for a new episode every Monday

I am 80, inspirational podcast, I now understand, I can have a new life, having just lost my husband of 59 years to cancer. Not moving on, starting anew. Thank you.

"You're not a noun, you're a verb" What a brilliant line, and a great way to look at life.

"95% of life is how you look at it and 5% is what happens to you." I can't even begin to explain how profound this is to me, thank you so much Jimmy.

HOLY F@*K! How inspiring. I respected Jimmy before this interview, and now I have a PROFOUND respect for him. Thanks for producing this Steven!

Jimmy is a perfect example of the value of this podcast. We get a totally different insight into the life of someone we think we know. Brilliant content and so important!

Loved this.

This was one of the best things I’ve ever watched. Thought provoking.I’m 52 years old and feel like a small boy when listening to discussions like this. Taking it all in and thinking about what is being said and seeing how it sits with me. Thank you for making me think with my eyes wide open.👍

Building wealth involves developing good habits like regularly putting money away in intervals for solid investments. Instead of trying to predict and prognosticate the stability of the market and precisely when the change is going to happen, a better strategy is simply having a portfolio that’s well prepared for any eventually, that’s how some folks' been averaging 150K every 7week these past 4months according to Bloomberg.

Thank you for confirming this side of Jimmy which I had a glimpse of years ago. I met Jimmy after receiving a Pride of Britain award, he came on stage after the cameras were rolling. He went to congratulate and speak to every winner. He was genuinely interested, asked questions and was super nice to every single person. He also remembered what everyone achieved and approached every person with kindness and being impressed by the achievements. He of course made us laugh but that was a by side of the whole experience. My respect for him went up after that experience.

This is the first time I’ve ever seen Jimmy show a side of his character that isn’t centred around his profession. What a knowledgeable, intricate guy. Learnt a lot from this man so thank you x

I saw Jimmy at the Lowry a few years ago and I've never been in such pain from laughing. It was like doing sit ups for 2 hours straight. Someone brought a photograph of their partner and put it on the seat next to them on the front row. After establishing that she wasn't dead, he just linked so many jokes back to this guy sitting next to a framed photograph, it was incredible. I'm so sad that this interview is over, what a pleasure it has been

I've never seen him be sincere on video, this is a gem

Quotes and notes from the podcast: The meaning of life - "Enjoy the passage of time" "You are the story you tell yourself" "Comparison is the thief of joy" "The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago, the second-best time is now." "You are not a noun, you are a verb" This is the one podcast I wish I had the chance to see in person. But maybe some other time! (PS I am in London, so if it is possible, I would love to see the podcast in person)

12 mins in and im already moved by his words. This man has brought me out of so many deep dark states with his comedy. It's refreshing to see this side of him too

Carr isn’t my favourite comic but he’s now one of my favourite motivational speakers.

Im currently going through a process where my brain has been completely stripped of neurotransmitters. Total lack of dopamine, serotonin, and endorphins; with simultaneous increase in cortisol and other stress hormones. Early on I didn't even have the desire to do my favorite things. Literally the only joy I had in the first weeks was putting Mr. Carr on my earbuds and could actually laugh out loud. Legitimately wouldn't have made it through without him. I hope he knows he's a LITERAL life saver. He's a little wrong about being a dealer. He's not a drug dealer, he's a safe drug that I'll never build a tolerance to. Thank you from the bottom of my heart Mr. Carr.

"and if you're not, know that's ok..... because it's going to change" Literally started crying at this and what a way to end now one of my now favourite episodes. You know when a podcast just hits you at a moment you really need it... Thanks both!

Had to pause multiple times to reflect on the jabs of wisdom and epiphanies they’re sharing. Love this interview!

I can't be the only one who feels like Jimmy Carr is the new dalai lama, with an incredibly healthy outlook on life. A genuinely shockingly philosophical and inspirational conversation from someone who you expect to be more sarcastic and guarded.
