This is absolutely phenomenal and it's been opening and powerful and put words on ideas and things I haven't been able to put words on. Deepest respect for you both. This has impacted me greatly. Thank you❤
Rich, you are having to take on a role here like a listener like one of a psychologist, a psychiatrist, a friend, a confidant....many would be completely Rattled by what Cory says in this podcast. But you remain Steadfast, as the professional listener that you are. So that millions can get a glimpse into Cory's complicated Life. Well done Mr. Roll. So much respect.
Yes, that is a good point. Though, on the occasions there are some projections that are having to do with himself (Rich) rather than the person being interviewed..
I'm coming up on 6 months sober, liberated from my affliction, and I just recently picked up a camera as a hobby. This episode was inspiring. Another classic episode rich!
Congratulations on your sobriety! One of the greatest commitments you’ll make is the one to yourself! Wishing you years of abundance growth and love! One day at a time!
Congratulations! Photography is also my passion. No matter what genre you pursue you will learn so many things about being present in those moments. Sending you good vibes and peace in your journey!
What a fantastically honest interview. You are both being vulnerable, honest and open. This interview is an intellectual power station for me. Thank you.
I find it really interesting that so many readers reflect that Cory Richards’ story makes them feel so “seen.” I will validate that 100%. As a content creator with a bipolar diagnosis, I relate deeply to his story. At many points during this video, I made a note. This interview will stay with me. Can’t wait to listen to the audiobook. And yes to audio recording one’s own story, can’t imagine hearing it read aloud by anyone else.
What an insightful, powerful conversation. As a bipolar addict so much of this resonates with me...thank you for creating a safe space where people can express themselves with honesty and vulnerability. ❤
I love how quickly Corey defended the Rat Park Study. Although Rich dismissed it, noting that it is an oversimplification of solving our mental health crisis, one must never underestimate the power of connection. Connection is key.
What a wonderful interview. Cory has a tremendous amount of self awareness. There was a moment when I thought Rich was talking too much during the discussion about the hungry ghost inside ot Cory, but somehow it all worked and rolled along nicely. There is a fine line to walk while trying to hear what someone is saying about their life. I really loved hearing what Cory had to say.
Hi Rich! I'm an avid listener of your podcast. I am really hoping that someday you'll feature an educator/expert on your show to cover how the Education system in particular and younger generations are being shaped by technology and social media. I think it would be amazing for both parents and teachers to listen in on a deep dive about how our collective reward circuitries, student's learning abilities and educator experiences have been so heavily impacted by technology and the societal implications and changes it's created. Thank you!
Cory, I've read your book (most definitely one of the best this year!), I've followed you because you're one of my favourite photographers.. and adventurers etc. So I was looking forward to this interview because there's always something else to learn and relate to. The phrase of "it's difficult to feel compassion to who we feel are above us" it's ridiculously true and profound. For those who have not read his book, do. Eye opener.
So glad to have this chance to hear Cory - your truthfulness and presence are very comforting. and always so grateful to hear the thread in conversations again and again- how our suffering and pain serve as catalysts of awakening, that deep abiding compassion is key and that gratitude is the best medicine. Contemplation of the body is a great place to grow gratitude. My life may be terrible and tragic and yet how is it possible that I can hear a birdsong, what would it be like to not be able to? We can train ourselves to find something to be grateful for in just about every moment 🕊️
Cory’s book is honestly one of the most beautifully written and honest accounts of living with the challenges that come with mental health disorders. I really hope more people find it and read it, it’s exceptional - and he’s a profound and poetic writing talent. Cory, keep on writing, please. Your book has helped me more than you could ever imagine sir. Thank you ❤
Cory Richards is phenomenal. The God self, the human self awareness and Cory's choosing the words to express concepts that must be felt- those which the mystics, masters and awakened humans know. It is evident he has seen the face of hell and come through the hero's journey to know Truth, - he is the IAM- no words can express adequately the Truth. I AM Deeply touched to "feel" Cory's humanity and Divineness. His words about gratitude were extraordinary. I am a woman and rarely have I heard a man speak with such depth, understanding and heart. I observe that Rich is struggling as most of us are with idea/Truth heartfelt gratitude. Rich is willing to acknowledge his process of being on the path yet now yet -knowing the IAM/Gratitude. I appreciate Rich's courage- to have amazing people on his podcast. Thank you Rich.xx
An outstanding conversation. Rich's ability to come out with such erudite, articulate and profound contributions is what makes his podcast one of the best there is.
At the 1:32:30 mark, when the discussion turns to the vehicle for growth becoming the trap, it reminds me of how Ram Dass often talked about the "method" becoming the trap and how easily it can be to slip into ideas such as "I am a meditator" and the method of meditation becoming the rut in which one becomes stuck. It's just the constant letting go of our notions of Self that seems to ultimately result in the truest freedom. And if we can learn to do this for ourselves, we can also learn to let go of our notions of others - even when they may not be able to do it for themselves - and find our way to true connection and love for one another.
I met, and hung out with Cory once. He was a good guy. This is a riveting conversation. We all have interesting paths. As someone with bipolar it was refreshing to hear Cory stand up for meds. They have made my life so much more livable and so, so much better. (Same med as him.) Huberman did a podcast on bipolar a while back and he too said, if you're bipolar, you damned well better be on your meds. All cases are different, but per Huberman, most all cases need meds, it's not something to muscle through. I've tried most every alternative therapy possible--including psychedelics--some therapies help, but not like the right good old pharmaceuticals.
Wow! What an amazing and amazingly told story! I’ve started his book today and couldn’t put it down!! So now I’m back to listen to this interview again to hear his voice telling his story! Wow! Such an incredible writer! I’m sure it will help a lot of people!!
I feel really proud for both of you, you've gone so ''deep'' ! INSTICT is the most powerful and helpful tool in life (it has always been!!!), not the thoughts/ mind! Thoughts/ mind have to, always, be in control with endless tools dancing/music/ connecting/ working/ adaptogens/ nutrition etc! Thank you so much for sharing!
This is my favourite episode so far. Maybe it’s my own ptsd, but I can’t be bothered with fluffy small talk bullshit. Cory is so real and drops right into the depths of what it is to be human. He’s so brilliant and raw, and loaded with intellectual depth. Great convo! Thank you for this. I just ordered his book.
I was diagnosed Bipolar 1 at age 55. I was a single mom of three children. Two of them died in adult life of illness while I wrote my memoir, "INVISIBLE LIMP." I also have PTSD and have been hospitalized twice for my mental illness. At age 72, this raw truth from Cory is a breath of fresh air. There are no two stories of mental illness that are alike. It's the fact we share a brain that makes us feel crazy, act crazy, and go from the cage into a full manic state where we are screaming and running as fast and as loud as we can until the next crash. I am so thankful for the truth of this story. I wish I could get Rich to read my memoir. I believe my story also matters even though I have no name. The healing is making the beast in us beautiful and I have achieved that. THANK YOU for this powerful, raw, honest account of a mental illness that no one wants to talk about.
I’m so grateful I came across this on instagram so that I could listen to it. So honest insightful and inspiring. A conversation I want to come back to over and over again. 🙏🏼♥️🙏🏼
Absolutely my favorite of all of these brlliant podcasts. Rich roll is a stellar interviewer. Love and yes, gratitude for this one, from the gulf islands in british columbia, canada.
Such interesting and inspiring story. I love the raw honesty and insight. Also, very relatable when talking about his decision not to climb mountains anymore, the hypomania/ spiritual experience. Thank you so much.❤❤
I was sooooooo excited to see this and it lived up to my expectations. I read Cory's book a few months ago. Best book I've read all year and maybe one of my favorite all time.
I'm Bi Polar and I'm getting into Ultras I love running myself into the dirt but being healthy and constructive training. The balance is a journey. Bought the Book can't wait to read it.
This is a beautiful and really insightful interview. The honesty is absolutely riveting and opened my eyes to a lot of my own behaviours : ´I’m a former alcoholic and I cured myself. Look how special I am…’. That smacked me in the face. Thank you.🙏
Incredible interview. I really think there’s a part of it that anyone and everyone can relate to. I think we all just want to be seen and understood…all the good, the bad and the ugly parts of us.
Thank you for a very granular, honest and insightful conversation. It's the first time that I've listened to a first hand account of a journey with bipolar disorder 🙏🏿
I'm a degreed ultra runner author blah blah blah and none of it matters without feeling connection… belonging… Its so painful and so important to hear this story and it speaks to all of us. Thank you
Incredible video, truly. Cory and Rich provide a full journey of being human. Foibles and all. Regarding triggers -- "our edges tell us what our needs are". Also, awe (the probability in real life terms) is where the magic is!
Love you guys!!!! Such an Epic Event 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 I am a registered nurse serving Mass Gen Brigham of Boston. This episode is beyond refreshing, thank you guys for sharing your love and story.
This was an absolutely profoundly emotionally moving discussion 🙏thank you "Constructive doubt is intelligent questioning and fair examination. Those who cultivate that attitude do not prejudge matters or accept as valid the opinions of others". ~ Paramahansa Yogananda
I don't understand the concept of "no victimhood" in these very traumatic lives. It sure seems to me that not getting what we need as children, having a brother beat this guy up physically puts him in a place of being a victim. Why wasn't the brother stopped? I get it that doing drugs is a choice. But some experiences it seems we have no control over does make someone a victim, especially if they occur during childhood years. This young man's story is remarkable. I understand the need he had to say, "I am done with all this."
Mental illness doesn't see money, gender ,race etc. Once you are in a psych ward ,it becomes very real,very fast. But the access that you have to get help for your mental illness has a lot to do with all those things.
Have to know where you came from. Knowing I was molested changed the story in my head. The same started to fade. Took away my father’s narrative that I am crazy. I’m just interested in the truth. Makes me scary to him
Cory is now ‘just so’. The gratitude that he expresses is earned. Maybe the tech bro Rich will take a gratitude sabbatical and let Cory sit where he does- while Rich tries to really wrap his head around what true gratitude comes from- a place of ineffable peace, where closure means it’s time to get rid of his need to advertise and shill, even as I, who pays for no adds has to fuck around skipping and interrupting a story that has real meaning for me and all men. Rich- time to leave the mountain!😮
On the connection piece, I don’t think it’s the opposite of addiction. I think that it helps with the loneliness of shame and the support for accountability. And to Rich’s point somewhere to shine the light on shame and how it festers in a space where you won’t feel judged.
Great episode and well done, Cory on the mental clarity you have achieved. What Cory said about white privilege; I have heard the 'privilege' part being replaced by,'structural advantage'. The reason being that the word, privilege, is so closely aligned with wealth. There are lots of white people who really struggle economically but because of the racism embedded in all manner of our social, legal, economic, political, health and welfare systems, white people always start with some advantage. That's what I understood Cory to be referring too.
Ans what if you cannot find gratitude for having a body? For having life? What if from your earliest memory (6? 7?) you wished you hadn't been born? And not in a clinical depression way but in a strong, enduring, constant emotional companion that rationality and logic cannot shift?
I would suggest that if one is in this situation, and one is determined to break free, there are numerous avenues to take which will help the process of shift that is being sought. We can change. Specifically though, even if one is in the grip of such an enduring crushing "emotional companion", help can be found by looking into the teachings of great people who have gained the wisdom to be able to assure us that within each of us lives a spark of the same Divine Source from which we all came. Given the right way of living (which includes proper diet, exercise/activity, nature contact, relationships, etc), and right thinking, this enduring emotional companion can be dissipated - and the real self of peace and happiness, and wisdom, can slowly be realised. It won't happen overnight, but it can come about through perseverance - and the change will grow and be welcome. We have to start where we are, step by step. Having a companion, or people, who support us in our endeavours will strengthen our resolve and make the journey a better one, and lighten the burden. Mud can cover a gold vessel, but the mud can be removed - we're all in the process of scraping off the mud. Wishing you all the best...
There is a way through these feelings. We can change. Inside every human being is a place of peace. That is the truth. By learning to live well, we can discover the gold inside that may be currently covered with mud. It's the task of every person to make forward progress in this endeavour. By self improvement through proper diet (whole grain, whole food plant-based), right activity or exercise, contact with the healing power of nature (sunshine, fresh air, trees, ocean, etc), understanding friends, possibly a counsellor (or spiritual teacher), creative pursuits, finding purpose or meaning, and more, the mud can be scraped off. Change takes some time, and effort - you are not alone. Take small steps and improvement will come. We are all on a journey back home to our true self - which is part of Spirit. And when we get there we'll be overjoyed I'm told. Wishing you well...
after a rocket blew up the building I was in during 2005/06 while serving in Iraq I've never slept decent again. Sometimes I'm up for 3 days in a row and then get maybe 2 hours of sleep. Something broke in my brain and it destroyed my sleep button. Diagnosis is severe chronic insomnia. No drugs help except for phenobarbital and not a single VA Dr will prescribe it for me at home.
what i have observed, is people with money have it" harder", (to face themselves) because money can hide the "real deal". their are exceptions. spiritual is free.
I don't think our culture is rewarding victimhood at all,I think its just about people becoming more openly vulnerable and admitting our weaknesses not pretending we are always strong,successful etc.I don't think people are asking the world to accomodate them for their trauma,I mean the prison system,people on the streets and in all sorts of terrrible circumstances because their traumas were not in anyway recognised or "accomodated for"and are in fact ignored and dismissed entirely. No one is asking that becuase of their trauma that they do not have to be responsible for healing or getting their life together but many are totally unconscious of their traumas"and totally don't realise how much they are being run or they are running their life and causing destrcution either to self or others. I really think this was overdone between the two of you,there are many walking around totally oblivious to their trauma and acknowledging "trauma"or at least our wounds is not a license to behave badly or garner sympathy,it does not absolve us of responsibilty at all but if anything when we fully acknowledge them it equips us to take responsibility and make better choices. Trauma is never an excuse to become a victim but acknowledging it is a step to empowerment and change because as long as its repressed or unconscious it will do damage and stop us from fulflling potential and doing constructive things in the world. I mean look at Elon Musk and Donlad Trump to see how unacknowledged trauma and invulnerability and "strong men syndrome"can make you act. It seems Rich is still very much in his head and maybe struggling with his own issues in this podcast,felt like both of you to some extent wrestling with your own external needs for validation,relative privileges and maybe Rich still has not yet expereinced this "Oneness"that he talks about so much but yet is still an intellectual concept rather than a felt one.
Your last paragraph says it all, and I question whether this podcast is an ongoing debate between the validity of AA and NA. God bless those who find their way however they see it, but after this podcast, I'm out. Other great podcasts are not so self-serving, hearing themselves talk and pushing their thoughts so that they matter.
SHEESH CAN THE HOST NOT LET THE GUEST TELL HIS STORY IN HIS OWN DANG WORDS..I MEAN THE 1ST CPL TIMES I GET IT U KINDA WANT THE GUEST 2FEEL NOT ONLY HEARD BUT UNDERSTOOD..BUT AT THE LEVEL THE HOST IS JUST DOING RUN ON SENTENCES/RAMBLING ON & ON & F'KIN ON.. SH!T, DANG, IM LITERALLY ON THE VERGE OF FINDING SOME OTHER PODCAST/INTERVIEW W/THIS AWESOME GUEST CORY..CUZ I STILL WANNA HEAR HIS STORY DESPITE RICH'S OVERZEALOUSNESS..
I loved this episode. But I find any support of a comment that men need to outearn women to be maddening. Perpetuating these statements is an effort to make financially successful women seem unfeminine and or unattractive. A subversive message that women shouldn't try to achieve what they are capable of. It also perpetuates a need for other men to promote and pay other men more, to put men in a position to attract a wife and build a family. We've got to stop saying things like this.

May you find peace and health ❤
What an insightful, powerful conversation. As a bipolar addict so much of this resonates with me...thank you for creating a safe space where people can express themselves with honesty and vulnerability. ❤
I love how quickly Corey defended the Rat Park Study. Although Rich dismissed it, noting that it is an oversimplification of solving our mental health crisis, one must never underestimate the power of connection. Connection is key.
Ain't nobody connecting anything! We are selfish animals to busy on our phones!😢

Loved this episode Rich. I was not familiar with Cory but this interview hit hard! Thank you
Huberman’s podcast this week. Explains the neurology of neglect. Yes your brain is different. Unconditional love and skills for human interaction
Would you kindly tell us the exact name of the topic/podcast?

He isn’t in one of the accepted victim classes of society as a white male. That’s my take on it at least
Beautiful story! Thank you and blessings to you both.

Super cool interview - Looking forward to reading the book.
Awesome podcast. I will get his book. Thank you!
Hey healer spreading love I see you. ❤️
Adding to this, our society caters for the weak, ask the strong to compromise, they make the stong weaker, and here is anothr never ending cycle.
Thank you for sharing this.
Cory is now ‘just so’. The gratitude that he expresses is earned. Maybe the tech bro Rich will take a gratitude sabbatical and let Cory sit where he does- while Rich tries to really wrap his head around what true gratitude comes from- a place of ineffable peace, where closure means it’s time to get rid of his need to advertise and shill, even as I, who pays for no adds has to fuck around skipping and interrupting a story that has real meaning for me and all men. Rich- time to leave the mountain!😮
On the connection piece, I don’t think it’s the opposite of addiction. I think that it helps with the loneliness of shame and the support for accountability. And to Rich’s point somewhere to shine the light on shame and how it festers in a space where you won’t feel judged.
Awesome episode thank you!
Amazing interview and amazing book!!!!
Great episode and well done, Cory on the mental clarity you have achieved. What Cory said about white privilege; I have heard the 'privilege' part being replaced by,'structural advantage'. The reason being that the word, privilege, is so closely aligned with wealth. There are lots of white people who really struggle economically but because of the racism embedded in all manner of our social, legal, economic, political, health and welfare systems, white people always start with some advantage. That's what I understood Cory to be referring too.
What an episode!
Thank you, thank you both for so much honesty, for sharing your journey, my god! No quedarse pegado en ser víctima,
Corey, Jesus is the ultimate healer and will never leave you or forsake you. God bless you🙏
Been waiting awhile for these two to get together. Great conversation on healing trauma.
Ans what if you cannot find gratitude for having a body? For having life? What if from your earliest memory (6? 7?) you wished you hadn't been born? And not in a clinical depression way but in a strong, enduring, constant emotional companion that rationality and logic cannot shift?
I would suggest that if one is in this situation, and one is determined to break free, there are numerous avenues to take which will help the process of shift that is being sought. We can change. Specifically though, even if one is in the grip of such an enduring crushing "emotional companion", help can be found by looking into the teachings of great people who have gained the wisdom to be able to assure us that within each of us lives a spark of the same Divine Source from which we all came. Given the right way of living (which includes proper diet, exercise/activity, nature contact, relationships, etc), and right thinking, this enduring emotional companion can be dissipated - and the real self of peace and happiness, and wisdom, can slowly be realised. It won't happen overnight, but it can come about through perseverance - and the change will grow and be welcome. We have to start where we are, step by step. Having a companion, or people, who support us in our endeavours will strengthen our resolve and make the journey a better one, and lighten the burden. Mud can cover a gold vessel, but the mud can be removed - we're all in the process of scraping off the mud. Wishing you all the best...
There is a way through these feelings. We can change. Inside every human being is a place of peace. That is the truth. By learning to live well, we can discover the gold inside that may be currently covered with mud. It's the task of every person to make forward progress in this endeavour. By self improvement through proper diet (whole grain, whole food plant-based), right activity or exercise, contact with the healing power of nature (sunshine, fresh air, trees, ocean, etc), understanding friends, possibly a counsellor (or spiritual teacher), creative pursuits, finding purpose or meaning, and more, the mud can be scraped off. Change takes some time, and effort - you are not alone. Take small steps and improvement will come. We are all on a journey back home to our true self - which is part of Spirit. And when we get there we'll be overjoyed I'm told. Wishing you well...
Great interview
Book: ordered.

wow. just WOW! 🤯
Yes. Gabor matte has the answer. Yes. It’s true. The genetic is your families way of being. Conscious parenting is the answer

wow how do these guys even get up in the morning, I've only beaten life threatening cancer 5 times,
I watched his short film "Cold", about his expedition on Gasherbrum II together with Denis and Simone, like 50 times, Thanks for bringing him in.
after a rocket blew up the building I was in during 2005/06 while serving in Iraq I've never slept decent again. Sometimes I'm up for 3 days in a row and then get maybe 2 hours of sleep. Something broke in my brain and it destroyed my sleep button. Diagnosis is severe chronic insomnia. No drugs help except for phenobarbital and not a single VA Dr will prescribe it for me at home.
Oh it was probably the 5th out of - more likely then not - 10 pretty serious TBIs.
what i have observed, is people with money have it" harder", (to face themselves) because money can hide the "real deal". their are exceptions. spiritual is free.
There are two sides to this coin
what a journey
I don't think our culture is rewarding victimhood at all,I think its just about people becoming more openly vulnerable and admitting our weaknesses not pretending we are always strong,successful etc.I don't think people are asking the world to accomodate them for their trauma,I mean the prison system,people on the streets and in all sorts of terrrible circumstances because their traumas were not in anyway recognised or "accomodated for"and are in fact ignored and dismissed entirely.
No one is asking that becuase of their trauma that they do not have to be responsible for healing or getting their life together but many are totally unconscious of their traumas"and totally don't realise how much they are being run or they are running their life and causing destrcution either to self or others.
I really think this was overdone between the two of you,there are many walking around totally oblivious to their trauma and acknowledging "trauma"or at least our wounds is not a license to behave badly or garner sympathy,it does not absolve us of responsibilty at all but if anything when we fully acknowledge them it equips us to take responsibility and make better choices.
Trauma is never an excuse to become a victim but acknowledging it is a step to empowerment and change because as long as its repressed or unconscious it will do damage and stop us from fulflling potential and doing constructive things in the world.
I mean look at Elon Musk and Donlad Trump to see how unacknowledged trauma and invulnerability and "strong men syndrome"can make you act.
It seems Rich is still very much in his head and maybe struggling with his own issues in this podcast,felt like both of you to some extent wrestling with your own external needs for validation,relative privileges and maybe Rich still has not yet expereinced this "Oneness"that he talks about so much but yet is still an intellectual concept rather than a felt one.
Dei and feminism. Quota spots based on skin colour and genitals. Indians get rights to open casinos. Victim status gets u free stuff.
Your last paragraph says it all, and I question whether this podcast is an ongoing debate between the validity of AA and NA. God bless those who find their way however they see it, but after this podcast, I'm out. Other great podcasts are not so self-serving, hearing themselves talk and pushing their thoughts so that they matter.
This guy's story would make an interesting biopic movie. Step up A24 Films! 🎥

What is the name of Cory’s book?

Wow
My lesson from this episode: we don't all fit in the same box.
What’s the scoop?
Luke 9:24
I’m guessing the real story is childhood trauma. At least it was for me. No bipolar.

I loved this episode. But I find any support of a comment that men need to outearn women to be maddening. Perpetuating these statements is an effort to make financially successful women seem unfeminine and or unattractive. A subversive message that women shouldn't try to achieve what they are capable of. It also perpetuates a need for other men to promote and pay other men more, to put men in a position to attract a wife and build a family. We've got to stop saying things like this.
