I got laid off from my tech job 7 months ago. Finally listened to everyone and took time off - traveled, meditated, and got more into investing in my health. No trying to apply to jobs, just me, family and health… Which has brought forth happiness 😊
Profound. Getting off the treadmill, refocusing on our values, honoring our authenticity, doing shadow work, and living each day to our full potential with mission and purpose will bring us fulfillment.
Rich Roll is fantastic - I only got into his podcast several months ago, and he just seems like a really genuine guy with some powerful life lessons who wants to help. So glad these two have connected.
I’ve found that it helps to take one day every two to three weeks to disconnect and decompress. Zero work. No electronics. Home cooked food. Lots of outdoors stuff. Lots of walking in nature. Limit social interactions. Contemplate 🤔 on big picture of life, but zero work-related. I feel this helps train me to be able to decompress faster when I go on longer vacations.

Interesting to see this kind of dysfunction and the denial that goes with it and recognise it as once having been an integral part of my own life and experiences. I will be eternally grateful to my wife, just partner at the time early in our relationship where she put her foot down and made herself quite obnoxious to make me create and maintain a proper work/home boundary, and to let go and enjoy my down time, focusing on home and family.
the attitude that breaks are essential is literally everywhere with people under 40 and almost nowhere with people over 40 in charge of our workplaces, in my experience.

Recap by Tammy AI
The way I see it Chris is very intellectually smart but emotionally stunted, and here he tried to use his bag of mental tricks to justify his avoidance, but Rich wouldn’t let him - and did in such an elegant, but articulate and firm way. Rich has hard won the wisdom that Chris is (still) understandably lacking (he is young).
12yrs Facebook sober, it does take a year to get over the missing social aspect, but once you get your life sorted without it, it opens doors to filter out more, and reduce stress.
Any time I make the mistake of going on that thing, I realize 20 minutes just disappears as I got completely sucked into scrolling. And it’s all so contentious or vain or just overbearing with ads. It’s hell.
Excellent video and perspective - number one reason to take time offline where possible and time out to meditate on things, also just look at the world without all the online/media preconceptions were hit with on a day to day basis and see things how they are in a different lens.
Also sidenote, Rich hit the nail on the head, lots of great people in the domain of "spirituality" buddhism etc speak of these kinds of things too. Retreating into nature, introspection, time alone with your thoughts, then facing things in this time alone regarding yourself and getting in touch with your true nature. In this grind grind grind hustle hustle hustle society its often overlooked, and is very important to do. I am doing all of this to succeed, but where does it even lead, what do i want out of life? A lot of people dont know the answer to this ironically when asked. Even in terms of productivity lol, deadweight mental stress, past psychological problems and bad emotional states will only hold you back, so better to deal with things within yourself for just a better life overall and more inner peace/clarity. Not an advocate of woo woo stuff so just call it introspection/becoming more in tune with yourself as he says lol.
Gosh this is a really interesting conversation because it's something that I'm actually working on right now. Over the last couple of years I've been really working with my therapist and listening to God about dealing with the after-effects of chronic sexual abuse. It's been very painful but also really helpful and productive. I'm steadily cutting away at The addictive behaviors I engaged in to avoid having to deal with what happened to me. I would highly encourage everyone to take Rick's advice and face their fears head-on. It will be incredibly painful but the pain doesn't last forever. On the other side of that can be Joy. My prayers are that you will seek God in everything that you do and He will see you through your experiences.
Sabbaticals should be a normal thing. Sadly, in the western first world, nothing matters except profit and surviving with enough dollars to prevent the banks from destroying your life. So few people can get away with taking a month off from everything when it could really help them.
Shows how strong he is that he is able to go monk mode for an ENTIRE MONTH while in recovery. You know youre secure in your recovery when you can sit alone and be alone so comfortably for such a long time by choice. Dudes a beast.
Look into the fact there are several layers to burnout. Getting progressively deeper. It's quite disturbing how many of those signs are how we live and bear every day.
I feel like the right approach to modern masculinity is to abandon forcing things, and think of it as being more collaborative, still maintaining the strength plus flexibility, a good collaboration is never having to force things because you can always mutually agree on a new idea with an awareness and understanding of context and empathy, instead of an outdated ideology
The harder we work, the longer hours we put in the more that dial of base requirement to exist gets cranked over. The purpose of technology is to free us from menial labour and indentured servitude and allow us to move into higher order thinking, living, loving. Seating your self worth in an occupation outside of legitimately worthy fields is akin to a slave seating their value in how much they can produce for their master. There is the maintenance of life that everyone must meet, beyond that what we produce should be motivated from inspiration not financial gain.
He sounds like a “big picture” INFJ type personality…… with a desire to be frequently introspective/retrospective…. I would guess there is a lot of value in “stepping back” and “zooming out”
@@Joseph-C Hi Joseph! I’m curious to know why you feel the mbti stuff is “BS”? I was under the impression that they are just organized descriptors of peoples personality traits 🤷🏼♂️ I’m sure I’m missing something…..
I hope this sabatical moment did well for him. Rich became a big sjw and derranged during the Trump era, which took a lot away from the quality of his podcasting work.
Most of this is complete nonsense. If you find yourself in this kind of miserable state then you simply don't know what you do or why you do what you do.
@@Zoet50 This can't be helped. We're completely overwhelmed with this kind of mid-wit wisdom. A bunch of hamsters posting smart videos on TH-cam telling other hamsters how not to burn out on a treadmill. This is comical and pathetic. The answer is very simple. You are a hamster and there is a treadmill for you. You will run because you're wired to run. Is this a deeper insight for you bro?

I got laid back off in June and spent the summer going to the beach. Best thing i ever did.

And a quickly emptying bank account... There's an order to things, got to work on gaining the opportunities and then not forget to use them.

Is 36 young?
@@johnsmith-zf1fd I thought he was a bit younger (around 30), but I would still say so.
Rich Roll has such a depth to him. Really engaging human.❤
Yeah, he has such a nice grounded presence. Very captivating.
Two of my favorite podcasters, made my day. Can’t wait for the full drop
Chris is stepping up. Love this podcast!
stepping up to what?
Cannot wait for this episode! Chris is killing it with the guests!!!

This is a 5 camera setup podcast. With at lot of lights. Insane production value for a talk show.
I’m in the middle of a month off work so I can get better at ‘not-working’ for when my baby arrives. It’s actually surprisingly enjoyable.
I started listening to his audiobook last week. Can’t wait for the full podcast.

Rich is great. Looking forward to the full episode.
That's easy for him to say, he's Rich.
Great interview! I am a long time follower of Rich Roll!!!
Fantastic insight! Love Rich Roll!
Looking forward for the full podcast.
Yes... Rich... that’s definitely the word I read...
I work everyday but I'm not a workaholic. I'm just trying to pay off my house in 3 years. I'll be 36 making 100k w/ no debt.
I really like the new background
Wisdom....awesome...what is your why.
RICH ROLL?!! AMAZING MAN!! :)
Never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down

Im curious what's the bracelet that they're wearing ?
Whoop strap
Awesome interview❤

What are these things they have on their wrists?

I don’t get how it’s ever “too late” to deal with burnout.
How could it be?
Everyone at the starting line of the race has the same goal - to finish the race.
I wish I were..
I don't know why he looks like CM Punk
