How To UnF*ck Your Life

- I woke up this morning and decided I was going to accumulate a large amount of lessons I feel like you could need in life. Like your older brother. I hope those of you that have half a year to watch this absolute Oppenheimer can enjoy the lessons you learn.
If you strongly agree with some of the points I made in the video, maybe the video wasn't for you. :)

You’ve become my go to guru….or should it be you-gru? Gru-tuber?
Oh hell you’re just a good egg.
You’re one of the only people on TH-cam I respect. You and Steven Bartlett from Dairy of a CEO. You should be on that show. Your outlook is tied to reality and you value your integrity more than you value views, likes, and money.
Keep doing what you’re doing. 💪🏻
@@LittleTimmyO James did DOAC twice, really good stuff
Would I be right in saying James that @RealJamesSmith on Telegram is a scam?
@@LittleTimmyO James has been on the DOACEO (on two occasions if I remember rightly)
For what it's worth - as a 64 year old man who probably doesn't need advice like this, my experience of life would confirm all that you have said. You consistently produce valuable information and are always entertaining. I'm delighted you are now living the life you want. You deserve it. You are a real help to men everywhere - even an old git like me.
Thank you, really appreciate that.
Nintendo 64. Best age
@@syrus3k 100%, favorite N64 game?
Same age, same thinking; from one old git to another, have a nice day mate!😀
@@markmcg7774are you a McGill mate?
Well done James. This comprehensive video is a good look at your life philosophy. Hope to connect someday.
Legends. The both of you.
Be well.
I’m offended that James hasn’t replied to this
Would love to see that collab!
I've sent this video to both my 19 and 16 yr old boys. This is definitely needed in schools. Well done sir
@-USER-RealJamesSmith Real.😁😂
Why not try parenting your kids instead of having some stranger on the Internet do it. I know crazy concept 🤣
@@dabd8175 not every parent knows everything and if you find something that gives your children an important lesson why not show them? are you an expert in every aspect of life?
@@dabd8175if it's good advice articulated better than you can, it's still good advice.
Wouldn't you do the same with a math explanation video?
I’ll keep trying to make videos that help. 🤝

My hero
Def oversharing here, but 6 months ago, I tried to end my life. James' analogy of kicking legs off a table is so true...take your mental health seriously as soon as the table starts to wobble. In the time since, I've reflected a lot, covering every single thing he mentions in this video and I'm genuinely in awe at how on point he is. These are the changes I needed to make, and didn't. For anyone reading this, the consequences of ignoring this stuff until it's too late are like you can't imagine, even with all the help and support in the world. It's financial, it's professional, it's so uncomfortably personal. This video is the resource to turn to again and again when you feel your mental state slip.Great work @jamessmithPT
Good on you mate. Hope all is well
Good luck to you, fella.
Glad your being accountable. Glad your doing better.
I like that you boldly shared your story man. It's not oversharing - it could save a life. You never know when someone who's in a dark place might be inspired by hearing your story, ie. "if he can get himself back from the edge, maybe I can too".
Definitely not oversharing mate. Being over 50, I find that so many of the younger ones around me think that, like you, they're one of the very few that are feeling that way and, because of that, you won't find someone who would understand. Then guys like you show up with their story.
Yes, it's good to have boundaries with what you share and to whom, but on forums like this where like-minded people come (along with the anonymity of a username), it can really help so many who are at that crossroads where you were. Never underestimate the power of a positive story coming out of a dark place.
It's not an overstatement to tell you that you've just impacted a lot of people all over the world.
I needed to hear this James thanks, the last 4 months for me have been hell, split up with girlfriend, drank every day for two months, had to move back into my parents , stopped going to the gym. Thankfully I'm on the right track now, lost over a stone and getting more active, not drinking as much and no drugs, now I have a clear head and can really think hard about my future.
This isn’t a therapy session. Nobody cares about your problems, stop begging for likes
Breaking up with my ex was the best thing that ever happened to me. I met an amazing woman 8 months after I started just focusing on myself. We’ve dated for a year now.
But the key part of everything was realizing that piece wasn’t the right fit for my overall puzzle. It sounds like you have clarity now, and are better after the bruising symptoms of breakup and other stuff, but now that you have a clear-headed ness… I think a year from now for you, you will be pretty happy it all happened like it did. Because all of those negatives will turn in to some great wisdom.
You know what doesn’t work, so that directs you to what might work very well for you.
Take it easy brother
Keep going dude, we gotchu’🤝 You’ll always find your way, sounds like it’s heading in the right direction

Single handedly the greatest TH-cam video I’ve seen so far.
Absolutely love your Bondi coffee girl story, I live a similar way here in Australia, working at a petrol station in the evening to pay my bills whilst my whole day is free to work on my photography or play music etc. People can’t understand it.
As a 67 year old man having recently retired i am finding myself in a kind of limbo, suffered a heart attack 5 years ago and thought argh well this is it. But having just watched this latest video i think i can get myself into a better place, thanks James for giving us all inspiration and for some of us to get up and do something as it is still not to late.
James you have an outstanding talent at clarifying the message without patronising the audience, you’re essentially telling people what they should already know, but manage to do relay the message in such a short sharp succinct and meaningful way people listen! Good work, keep up the content-its brilliant!
you already know this about to be a banger
This is 40 minutes of gold. Thanks for sharing this man.
Fair play to you James for uploading the workout and keeping your side of the deal and not just chasing the coin and self gain... Really appreciate your videos and the info and help you've given people
You're a breath of fresh air James, thanks for being a genuine character!
I wish I would have watched this 15 years ago! This is a valuable blueprint I will be revisiting regularly throughout life. Classic material! you should be proud of this mate! Thank you 🙏
I stumbled on this channel a month or two ago and I am constantly amazed at how good James is at giving advice and seeing the bigger picture of it all. Great video James, you're doing awesome stuff man.
Almost certainly the single most valuable video i have ever seen on TH-cam. Thank you!
A very comprehensive video of how to improve ones quality of life. I like how you've evolved into a life coach.
Kinda strange that most of things said here are common knowledge, yet this is something i need to hear once in a while
Thank you for being here for us
May you be as lucky as we are for having you
James one of your very best … watched it 3 times and shared with a lot of my mates ….thanks James your empathy and support to the well being of everyone is just amazing and you can see and feel it
I had no idea how much I needed this video. Thank you!
Your videos are absolutely brilliant! Best influencer for men. Your message is clear, positive, and relatable. When I watch these videos, I feel like I'm just kicking it with a mate who is looking out for me and genuinely cares. 💪 Thank you James for your work🙏
I'd argue I've just learnt more in this 38 minute video than I did in school. If indepth lessons were taught on each of these subjects in school imagine how happy and healthy everyone would be.
Great video.
I have no words to say other than thank you. Thank you so much.
Preach, brother. Really appreciated this. I sent it to 4 other peeps that I think it will resonate with too. Spread the love!
Keep up the great work 💪🏼💪🏼
As a 19 year old living in england and watching your videos, this is my fav video.I feel like from just 38 mins i've learned a lot and im alr doing some things you said but struggle with others so i can't thank you enough cause this is really helpful. Honestly man much love,i love your channel and i hope yourself are doing well❤
what perfect timing i needed this, ive fallen off my horse, I'm in a foreign country doing my masters and i feel shite, me higher self is calling and I've been struggling giving myself a kick up the arse to get back on it. Thanks mukka x
One of the best videos I have watched this year. Brilliant work!
Probably the best video you’ve ever done. Sat and watched it in one and enjoyed every minute.
I'm moving towards a healthy lifestyle and James you are solely to thank for that! You're a breath of fresh air in the fitness scene and hopefully you will inspire other fitness creators to not act like such douche bags
Over the roughly 15 years of watching TH-cam- this one has been one of the most important I’ve watched as a desperate 28 year old in need of change in his life. Thank you so much James. Time to get to work ❤️
I think this is the first video I've ever saved on TH-cam. Needed to hear life these life lessons. Thank you James
This is the most valuable video I've watched on youtube, thx for the wake up call.
Thanks for this James. I’ve felt quite lost in life at the moment and your advice both here and in your moving to Australia video have helped give me so much clarity. You’re probably the best person in the fitness industry and one of the most down to earth person on social media.
Keep up the hard work, you never miss ♥️
Here book on PDF you might find helpful boyunderthebridge.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Living-in-Cream-e-v5.pdf
I found your channel at just the time where I am in the process of doing the things you are talking about for almost a year, it is nice to have that validation.
The change in my mood, motivation and body that I have experienced from builidng the habit of excercise is immensely positive. Before, I had to push myself to work out, now it feels harder to not get that jiu jitsu session, run or climbing in during the day. The thing that changed was that I signed myself up for a marathon - I knew I had no chance of finishing it unless I follow the workout plan. The joy from finishing and pride from following the 6 month training program fuels me still 2 months later, now it has become a part of my character. What followed from that was tracking nutrition and feeling healthier, being more sociable and open with people, quitting porn and feeling like the brain is going through a rewiring.
Still have work to do in the relationship department and finding the work that I truly 100% enjoy, but these videos help with the future outlook. Thank you
James you are a fucking legend…. And never have I seen a video on self improvement more down to earth and genuine than this.. thanks man honestly
One of the best YT videos I’ve ever seen. Hands down. Love this
As a 23 year old male who shares a really similar story to you James, i just wanted to thank you for all the knowledge and guidance your content has helped me with. Im too from Sydney, doing a sports sales job that i hate whos now wanting to give Personal training a go. Ive never felt more lost and in limbo than i have in my life in this past year, where id say ive lost myself. Your content has really helped direct and pick me up man, Thank you!
Im so jealous of you. Im 27 now and it’s too late. What I would do to be 23 and have all that time to improve
James talking common sense again. We need more James in the world 👊
I can’t really believe the timing of this video, but I really needed it. Thank you.
This is INCREDIBLE!!! You’re best work to date. I will be rewatching again and again! Thank you for helping me these past years with your content!
I cannot stress the improvement in life I’m having now due to listening to multiple podcasts you’ve featured on or your videos on YT, as a fellow man with adhd you make complicated things a lot more easier to take in and fully understand, thanks James 👊🏻
Can you give an example of some of the podcasts?
@@joesladden9914 he has a few with Chris Williamson, he recently did one on the fella’s podcast which was great and also he’s been on diary of a ceo, Mike thurstons podcast. Just a couple to name mate
your from Gloucester ? I live across the bridge in Cheltenham mate, great advice, I recently got over addiction, so yes I am way way behind but your videos have helped me so much, I thank you for that, this one has really helped more than you could ever no again thank you. I always watch you videos as soon as you post and your helping me so much on my journey back to health and well being, and being happy with who I am, i wont go on, just no that with out you help I don't think i would be improving every day, 1% every day
stay strong brother
This is a Golden Video, Straightworfard and practical.. I've kinda felt quite lost these days, and listening to these clear advices makes me notice that I'm right on the way of living my life as I want it to be
This really struck home. Definitey been chasing more money, but ended up less happy in the last year or so.
Skipping gym for long periods of time, not feeling like doing the things I used to enjoy etc.
Thanks for this video! Another bit in making me rethink some decisions towards being more happy.
Keep making these videos. As a 30yr old who is struggling but is slowly starting to piece things together whilst taking in the wisdom you and others in the space provide, I can say with my chest that the world needs you.
Genuinely one of the best youtubers on the platform at the moment, I'm 23 and live around the corner from where James started his career, feeling the exact same way he felt at my age. Really inspiring stuff man, thank you
Thankyou James, for what is worth. This is exactly what I needed to hear. About to finish uni, feel I have no purpose for the next 3 months. I have a new job in February I already know that I am going to work my ass off and be the best I can be. That do better line is now my mantra for every day going forward
Probably the best/ most relatable video I have seen on TH-cam. Thanks for this.
I love the fact that your missus is holding the camera as you talk about of hanging out of everything that moves.🤣
Like for James!
Hats off to you, sir. Everybody needs to see this video... 👍
Just when I think you can’t top your content, you go and prove me wrong time and time again. This is definitely your best work, I am SO glad you’ve been consistent with TH-cam ❤
As a 59 year old who retired on a work pension at 50, I would suggest a balance between two positions: A) Live your life for a good time, not a long time.
B) Plan your finances for a long time not a good time.
Remember, the first few years of retirement are actually the best years of the worst years of your life. You can enjoy them if you’ve planned a bit and lived a bit already.
I was once someone who at 21 had no qualifications , was in a lot of debt, unemployed and single. Im now turning 23 and have a good job with a promising career, a diploma ,a loving girlfriend and nearly debt free with savings in the bank. This video really hit. Im going through a bit of a low and its a nice reminder im actually doing most of the right stuff. I remember your video on adhd(which i also have) and that helped also. I feel like we dont click until later on in life.
Idk
Wow, this is one of the best videos I ever watched on TH-cam, and I just started watching it for 5 minutes. Thanks for uploading and sharing all your experiences!
What an incredible video that every young man should watch! I hope this blows up and gets the reach it deserves. Well done James

Information that i was looking for. Much better than all the podcasts out there.
Dude... I listened to all of this and agreed... then heard the happiness and pleasure part at the very end and had your time ferris moment. Thank you my man.
Being able to go to Asia and get pissed every day at 23 suggests that you already started at other people's finish line: a financial cushion. Don't give advice on "unscrewing" your life if you had cheat codes.
So true! I think James can still give advice, but it would be nice if he acknowledged this and other biases he may be influenced by.
I just spent about two hours hating myself trying to focus while falling into bad habits. This is what I needed. Thank you James
What. A. Guy! I’m going to have to watch this a couple more times. Well done James!
Stop taking advice from youtubers should be step one lol
Why? Because they said to do something you aren't disciplined enough to do?
@@yuwelcomeNo, because they're just getting you ready so they can sell you something. Have a little look at James's new "business venture". More snake oil for the masses.
Really depends on the youtuber. Some of these people (not including James) just blew up at 15 and have been millionaires since their teens and have no life experience at all.
This is one of the most beautiful videos on all of TH-cam. You are an incredibly selfless person for making this. It's straightforward, relatable, honest and most of all incredibly helpful.
Thank you, James!
James, thank you for your time and wisdom!
This is the video that I wanted to see a few years ago, back in college. Motivational content is everywhere, but nothing got to me quite like you did right here. For a 24yo boy like me who just started working towards happiness and less for pleasure (btw its the first time I've heard it being put like that), this half an hour content was priceless. Thank you, sir!
I am so glad that I found your channel (like 5 months ago).
I love that no bullshit videos. Straight uppercut into the truth. And your dumb humor...something we have in common.
Lots of love from germany:)
Your Happiness / pleasure analogy really resonated with me.
Thank you.
Need this big brothering. Thanks mate
Overwhelmed of going through a midlife crisis, this video was inspiring and motivating to do better in life. Thank you for sharing your knowledge 💙
Brilliantly delivered. Thank you James 👌🏻
Hope you read this James I am much older than you but love your outlook and directness. Don't change it is extremely refreshing
This video is probably the best I've seen in TH-cam, the message is amazing. Thanks James for sharing this!
Love this! It's never too late to change. Letting go of superficial shite is the best way to be happy
Thanks, very helpful and inspiring love the quote "the opposite of happiness is boredom"
Honestly one of the most insightful videos I’ve ever seen. Will be showing my mates this one
I just wanted to say a big thank you for bringing relevant information without bullshit. This channel is pure gold.
This is probably the best video I've watched in a long time. Some of this hit home to me personally on some points, maybe a bit of a wake up call. Cheers James. All the very best.
5 mins in, and already it’s an incredible video, love this sort of stuff
This is the best lifestyle/advice video I have watched - and I never comment online. Thank you 👍
huge vid, came of my path in last 3 months, i got motivation back, thank you James
Thanks man , really appreciated the sensible talk . 🙏🏻
You have done such a good job with this TH-cam chanel. Your content has to be some of the most valuable out there. You're definitely holding up your end of the bargain! Legend
Thank you James this was a great talk and I agree with everything you said, nice touch rounding it off with the happiness pleasure paradigm so true! All the best
This is literally the best video on self development and life lessons for men that I’ve ever seen on TH-cam. Practical, sensible, empathetic.
Thank you for making it.
My 23 year old son who follows you (I do too) sent this to me. This is so well said. Thank you
James - I very very rarely comment on youtube videos. However I geniunely think you are a huge net benefit to society and your words are something that should be heard by many young men.
I truly wish you had an even larger platform and there were many others like you, thank you for what you do.
If I ever end up in Australia, i’ll definitely be reaching out for a meet up!
Thank you so much for this video! I have been recently putting off wanting to chase my dreams because I want to go the "safe route". But honestly, it's exactly as you said, I feel unhappy because I'm trying to fulfill other people's values.
Probably the best video on youtube - or ever made. Appreciate your view on life, time to focus on sleep, diet and training!
I feel blessed to have stumbled upon this video, thank you James
the best video i’ve seen in a while. the opposite of happiness is boredom hit home. love the vids mate and ta for the programme x
Wow man. Thank you, this is one of the most personal, honest videos I've seen on this platform, genuinely. I am the oldest sibling of my family and you made me feel like I had an older brother giving me advice.
This in a phrase, is bloody brilliant!!
Hi James. I’ll be honest, when I first came across your content I wasn’t the biggest fan (not sure why). But now watch every video, and have watched this somehow without pausing. You’re doing good, good on you.
👌🏽👌🏽 HAPPINESS in KNOWING that you are putting EQUAL amounts of EFFORT in to each area of your Life 🙏🏽🙏🏽
love your videos. In the age of so much misinformation, you have a level head that keeps me grounded. Big respect to you!
I am 32, and i definetly needed to hear all this. I guess most people know or feel these things, but don't take action, which so far has been my problem.
James is just a top bloke, I’m 23 and you just confirm all the lessons I’m currently finding.
I wanna be like James when I grow up
Absolute GEM thank you!
This is probably one of the best videos I’ve ever watched. James I couldn’t stand you a few years ago (you remind me of someone I didn’t like at school) but you’re a real one.
