"Every man has two lives; the second begins when he realizes he only has one." That hit a nerve. Great interview!
-
" People don't want to live longer, they want more memories " hit me in the chest ❤
-
His comedy style isn't something I go for but listening to him talk here is completely eye opening. Wise, thoughtful, warm. Great interview.
-
Jimmy said that gratitude is the mother of all virtues. Addicts have been living by this and recovering for decades using gratitude.
-
Jimmy Carr's comedic style was never my cup of tea, so it is such a pleasure to find out what an interesting, insightful, and intelligent person he is! Thank you!

This is one of the best interviews I've ever seen. Jimmy is always brilliant but the interviewer( I don't recall the name right now,I apologize)is perfect. He's not talking over the guest,he's asking just enough questions and giving the answer time to breathe and keeping things going. Absolutely fantastic. I agree with so many things here. I'm a construction worker,46 from the states and last year decided to say fuck it and move to Europe. Not a great time to do it with the state of the world but I did it anyways. It's been difficult to say the least but I'm still grateful that I've done it. I've learned a lot about the world and myself and I've learned real gratitude for people. Most people don't speak English where I am so it's been a tough journey but even with the language barrier,everyone has been amazing to me. I didn't expect that at all. I never thought I'd be here but I'm glad I am. Just like this interview. Never thought I'd hear it but I'm glad I did and that's how life is. It's tough,it's easy,it's in-between and that's the beauty of everyday... I'll be subscribing for sure

i regularly rewatch Sean Lock clips and despite the loss we feel i am always conscious of how Sean's family and friends feel. seeing Jimmy break at the mention of Sean speaks volumes. a wise and thoughtful man is Jimmy Carr.
-
'Confidence without competence is madness', what a quote.
-
I'm 20 minutes in and Jimmy has already dropped so much valuable wisdom. What a guy.
-
Omg ! I’ve never heard Jimmy Carr talk “off stage” … how incredible is he!!! So wise! Love the part about imposter syndrome … 💕💕

I work as a Nurse and specifically a hospice nurse for quite a while. Gave me a whole new perspective on life. Makes you want to go home and give your mom and best friend a call. Its easy to be driven by stuff, but sometimes we lose sight of all the important people we have.
-
" It's your quality of life, minus envy, that's how happy you are " ...wow that hit true
-
"You cannot have an easy life and a strong character at the same time." So true. It makes me feel so proud of everything I have gone through.
-
It says something that the standup comedian who tells the most meaningless jokes has the most meaningful philosophy.
-
SO MUCH WISDOM about life from comedian. I would never thought.

As a boy I wore calipers on my legs for 3 years, I did not learn to swim until I was 9 about 5 years late for an Australian boy. Every day I get to stand on my own 2 feet and walk or run I say thank you. Gratitude is the most underrated mental posture a person can have but only if you don't confuse gratitude with being complacent about what you should change.

I'm 43. I recently had an experience with my sons friends popping round. And they were absolutely jaw dropped. I spent the day fixing a car, mechanically then did a bodyshop worthy patch repair to a panel. Came in, and told them to quiet down I need to do some work on my dissertation. The confident one piped up and proclaimed how??? How can you do so much stuff! I replied. I grew up poor. But with a dad. I had to become self sufficient or...metaphorically die. And I guess the hardships I look upon as perceived trauma while growing up. Actually. Make me who I am and are to be celebrated. What a privilege. To not need bank loans. To never need a mechanic or a bodyshop. Never need a builder, a plumber or an electrician. To never need much more than myself. What a gift. Now...many will see this as a pointless comment. I'm sure. It's not about setting up a business having passive income and a ferrari. But. I think it's key to be thankful and celebrate who you are and what you can do. Not be depressed about what you can't. Jimmy touched on being thankful. And that's a rewarding mindset.
