At 84, Dr. Hollis' mental/verbal clarity and speed is exceptionally high. It's inspiring.

1. What are the stories we are living? 2. We live reacting to everything that happens to us. Do we have other options? 3. I'm accountable for what I have lived so far. 4. Everything is conditionable. Everything has a condition. 5. Serving the self is not selfish. 6. What does one really want? 7. Reflecting on my dreams with coffee every morning. 8. Psychology in Greek: 'Pay attention to the soul.' 9. Escape from any stimulus. Everything is a stimulus. 10. Find the place. Tolerate being with yourself, and if you really pay attention, something will start coming up. 11. Healthy response to whatever life brings up. 12. Look for people that can see what we cannot see. 13. Taking responsibility for my shadow and stop blaming others. 14. You become larger than what happened to you. 15. When you are done with your fears, the fears of others won't be so threatening. 16. Is this your life or someone else's? Some people just keep living reactively. 17. Tell me not your politics or your religion, tell me your suffering. 18. Pay attention, honor what emerges, and have courage to deal with it. We can live in a different way.

I’m genuinely in awe of James Hollis’ intellect, wisdom and compassion. For me, this is one of your best

“I’m not here to fit in; I’m here to be who I am”

For me personally, this was one of the top 5 episodes you have ever done. Thank you so much to you Andrew, and to Mr. Hollis.

I’ve spend the past day and a half just listening, pausing and rewinding the first 35 minutes. There is wisdom within this man that takes a lifetime to attain. I feel like I’m listening to someone speak in epiphanies. You’re the man Dr. Hollis thanks for the knowledge.

I watched this for two days with maximum concentration and repetition. What a great conversation! Isn't it the best here so far? The truth was given so much life by Dr Hollis' calmness and experience. That's wonderful, isn't it? An old man that has much more curiosity than a younger one. Wisdom plus curiosity poetically combined with knowledge. I was touched to the bottom of my soul. God please give me a part of this wisdom🙏

We need Dr. James Hollis on your podcast one more time please.

"We shouldn't always applaud at a 50 year wedding anniversary". That's some real conversation. Very humbling and insightful interview.

This has been one of the best, if not THE BEST episode. What an honor to have a conversation with Dr. Hollis.

This has been my favorite Andrew Huberman episode ever. Round of applause for James Hollis 👏🏼

Dr Hollis is so eloquent and such a gifted speaker. I wasn't aware of him until today. Thanks for bringing him to my attention Andrew.

This is the wise old person that I need in my life to shed light on my path, not only for me, but for many people. I sat down for two mornings, listened to every sentence very attentively, and wrote down three pages of notes. I'm in awe, this conversation was what I exactly needed. It refreshed my whole perspective and I'm feeling so grateful to be able to listen to this. Such wisdom we need every day in our lives.

James Hollis is a straight-up grown @ss Man. Neither puffing nor fawning, neither bullying nor bowing… a Man who has an unapologetic abundance of Self and Life. He gets it, which is so rare and refreshing in today’s world.

An absolute privilege to be able to listen to such a great discussion!! Very grateful for you both

Dr. Huberman, your discussions make me think deep. You are a healer. Please don’t ever stop your work. It’s beautiful, thoughtful, selfless and profound. Your words ring in my head many, many hours after I have listened to you. Isn’t that the point of what you do? Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

You are changing lives Dr. Huberman. Forever grateful. Take care.

To breeze through an almost 3 hr podcast, and crave more, says something. My biggest takeaway was the idea that something did indeed shift in me when I passed 35, and I am not alone in that internal search. I’m going to download Dr. James Hollis’s book on audible’ “Finding Meaning in the Second Half of Life.” It is included in the audible membership, if anyone else is interested. Thanks, Dr. Huberman for another fabulous podcast.

This is one of my favorite episodes thus far… I want to listen again and take good notes as well. Listening was such a gentle reorientation and re-centering experience. I feel called both upward and inward. Thank you so much for introducing us to Dr. Hollis — I’m excited to continue learning from him. Please pass on our gratitude!
