My God... In the end when she talks about universal mercy and it starts with mercy towards yourself When she says (something to the effect of) 'I don't know why they gave me you (speaking to yourself), but I accept. And I will take good care of you' I cried. Damn. This lady is awesome Thank you. Thank you. Thank you! ❤️❤️ What a gift
SO - you wrote that comment 3 years ago. It's Jan 2024 now. How has your life gone since typing this comment? What made you cry - is there something you can point to so that her comment really resonated with you? Were you able to take better care of you since typing this comment? How has your life changed in the time since you wrote this? I'm honestly not sure I can say that. I can say that I'll try to take care of you to myself but I'm not sure I can say I WILL take good care of you because I know my past. She's so right about how NO ONE will be as challenging to take care of as ourselves. "Me on a different day" is an idea that I immediately LOVE! Because it's so true and removes all the bad motives that I assign to others to justify my disdain, however intense or not it may be. Anyways whether you choose to respond or not - I hope anyone reading this can try to find more compassion, grace and love for themselves no matter how challenging our behavior can be.
It is so soothing to listen to two well spoken, interesting and reflected, smart people having a two hour long conversation about life. Thank you to both of you!
Summary /time stamps: 4:31 Guest introduction 8:37 Talking about love, cancer and death 27:08 On Elizabeth´s decision to become a writer 33:04 What kind of art, writing and authors Elizabeth enjoys 45:51 How Elizabeth does research and organizes her material, and how she tries to help her future self 56:30 Discussing Marcus Aurelius 1:13:54 Discussing how to decline invitations and requests 1:25:43 Elizabeth´s thoughs on intuition 1:31:41 Elizabeth´s thoughs on (and experiences with) psychedelics 1:49:58 Discussing Elizabeth´s book "Eat, Pray, Love" 2:02:05 Elizabeth talks about the subject of "mercy"
I think this conversation will challenge a lot of people. Loss, grief, sexuality, social expectation, boundaries, compassion, mercy. These topics scare us. I nearly stopped the video a couple of times. But I think this was one of the most enlightening and beautiful conversations I have listened to on a podcast. Thank you Tim and Elizabeth.
Confronting discomfort at every instance is the only way forward in this life. Avoiding it will eventually lead to it accumulating and eventually knocking you down. Confronting it as it comes and feeling it in small doses throughout life is the universe giving you a gift.
Wow, I love when she talks about using your body for what it is for, as an amazing guidance system. And she compares ignoring your bodies guidance is like having the newest iPad and only using it as a placemat. That's how it is if we ignore our intuition. So powerful, this really hit home for me. So much value in this interview, Thank you!
This was such a WONDERFUL interview - I love Liz, too and she always has such great things to share, but for me, the golden nugget here was sharing Martha Beck's method of handling fear by having it "journal" all its anxieties, then asking wisdom to step forward and do the same. Amazing.
So I'm sitting in my office editing photos, listening to this wonderful conversation and then... Boom! Eliots's East Coker poem mentioned. My office is in this picturesque tiny village in South West England! It made me smile
Elizabeth Gilbert is God in disguise! Her kick ass humor, lovely sensitivity, ruthless honesty, warm and wild translucence ... What a gift to this world she is.
Thanks, Tim, for being an EXCELLENT podcaster. You ask deep and pertinent questions, prefaced by your thoughts and research; questions that allow your interviewee to really expand on topics that are rich and meaningful to them. This podcast is a beautiful stream of shared consciousness between you and Elizabeth that, if my experience is to go by, will give your listeners many takeaways, support them during tough times and provide ideas relevant to their own lives. What a profoundly eloquent and substantive speaker Elizabeth Gilbert was by the way! Thanks so much for your wonderful work!!!
Wow - how can two hours feel like a world of wisdom shared? I took notes and my level of appreciation is high right now! You both are great at freeing the truth and wisdom for the rest of us listening - what a banquet that was!!!
This was a knock it out of the park, triple rainbow with so many pots of gold conversation. Thanks Liz and Tim. My life is richer having spent this time with you both.
A lifetime of wisdom in this conversation- wow! I’ll be sharing this to everyone I love, but I’m also left working through how I can share in bite sized pieces of this wisdom to my wider community; slip it into peoples’ food. I want everyone to be able to digest this. Regardless, I’m so filled up; thank you Tim & Liz!
one of the best things (if not the best) I have ever listened to. Sooo underrated. This speech has to be listened to by every human who strives to become a better person
Beautiful dialogue about the truth; truths we each must grapple with yet when we do, when we finally use our God given courage to be honest with others, the silver lining is joy. To live joyful with less guilt. More joy. Mahalo, Tim Ferris for bringing in, more awareness which equals an incredible lightness of being. Love.
Oh Tim... this conversation with Liz is fantastic ... it’s 2.44 am and I am absolutely hanging on every word as my internal compass is saying Yes yes yes.. Listen and Learn Kashka... this conversation is a keeper... THANK-YOU Tim and Elizabeth 👍♥️🙏🏻
Two of my favourite people finally having a conversation! Thank you Tim and Liz, so many takeaways as always. As I was listening, I could imagine how many people who will freak out. Jonathan Haidt’s works come to mind. People are just seeing from their perspectives, from flatland or spaceland. “To avoid criticism say nothing, do nothing, and be nothing.” - Elbert Hubbard often misattributed to Aristotle
I had little interest in listening to this, but gave Tim's credentials my faith. This was great, thank you to both Elizabeth and Tim for such a useful discussion.
Another opportunity for me to listen to this Woman! Thank you Tim! I can relate to so many things about her and always learn new things when Iisten I to her talks/interviews!
I’m not a lesbian… but I think I’m in love with her 😂. She had me 9 years ago after reading EAT, Pray, Love… a book that changed my life and was SO on point with what I was going through. ( and am still) at the time… where my “journey” really began…
Even without psychedelic experiences…..there’s a euphoria that mass consciousness can create that isn’t always truth. This is how cults and religious groups can control groups of people.
Hi Tim, recently I've been watching a lot of your videos/podcasts and heard a lot about "The Artist's Way Morning Pages Journal". I want to read it but first I wanna ask you and our fellow community here: Do you think I could read it before "The Artists's Way"? Is it an independent book or is it supposed to be read alongside with the main one? Thanks for all the great content!
the Morning Pages Journal is largely a blank journal for you to do your morning pages in (with some quotes and prompts). You'd be much better off reading The Artist's Way, which has the whole explanation of what morning pages are and how to use them and everything, and then just using your own blank notebook to write them
I believe this episode can take the place of three years of therapy. BTW if you want a quick jump into radical honesty becoming disabled is a super fast way to pare down friends and goals.

Lol so she left her husband for a chick and he was cool with it? Yea. No. Idgaf who's dying if I told my wife I was gonna leave her for a dude DIVORCE.
A great conversation. Yet find it so very disappointing that it was not in person. You both have so much to say and share, why could it not be in person? I feel so very short changed. And can't help but but feel that you, Tim Ferriss, are nothing but a cheap shot. Time to grow up and become a man. We all deserve so much more, and the truth of the moment. My guess is you did not move become the ninth grade. I will not listen to another of your episodes, because ultimately you are a cheap shot.
publicity publicity publicity. Arent you not ashamed...Shame on you. Taking advantage of our needs for spirituality. SO VERY FAR AWAY FROM WHAT YOU SELL
@@sprawkaart6443 I didn't like how she talked about the other people and how she didn't reply to their emails and etc. I don't want to judge her on how she left her husband for a woman just for six months! because she mismatched a lover with a mentor! maybe I'm wrong I don't know, but I got a bad impression listening to her
@@aminkh6872 just for 6 months??? it's not "just 6 months" who cares about time or whatever, she realised it was now or never that she could truly love this women in every way possible!! It was probably the most profound 6 months of her life!
@@aminkh6872 she is not romanticising anything. She just addressed her truth. She was in love with that woman and she was pretty straight forward about it to her husband. She did not cheat on her husband, she spoke to him and ended things gracefully.
I'm on a Liz Gilbert binge rn. Can't get enough. She embodies so much of what I want to be.
Likewise😊
My God...
In the end when she talks about universal mercy and it starts with mercy towards yourself
When she says (something to the effect of) 'I don't know why they gave me you (speaking to yourself), but I accept. And I will take good care of you'
I cried.

Yep. She rocks in every way. Tim Ferriss does an excellent job of guiding the conversation along without in anyway limiting her responses too.
Probably my fifth or sixth time listening to this after my first back in 2020. Hits me every time. Liz you’re amazing!!!

Thus is an absolutely incredible conversation which I understood fully with my mind, body and soul. Thank you Liz and Tim 💗🙏
Jeez, every time. Liz gives me so much to work on. And also the reminder to acknowledge all the stuff I appreciate about myself. 💛
Revisiting this conversation and finding new valuable wisdom. Thank you!

in what sense is she selfish and cold hearted in your opinion? I can't see any of that in her, rather the opposite actually. Don't get your point.
