I'm on a Liz Gilbert binge rn. Can't get enough. She embodies so much of what I want to be.
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!
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.
excellent.😊
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.
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.
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!

Life saver! Thanks
Thank you so much Elizabeth ! ❤❤❤
Elizabeth Gilbert is such a wisdom powerhouse. Thank you Tim for this delightful interview! ❤
Yep. She rocks in every way. Tim Ferriss does an excellent job of guiding the conversation along without in anyway limiting her responses too.
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.
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.
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
Liz and Tim, this was a bathtub standing ovation conversation for me. Thankyou 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
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 👍♥️🙏🏻
So many takeaways. Wonderful, wonderful interview
Thank you so so much!!!!
Really fantastic. I especially liked the section talking about allowing your fear to come forward, then allowing your wisdom to come through.
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!!!
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!
Thus is an absolutely incredible conversation which I understood fully with my mind, body and soul. Thank you Liz and Tim 💗🙏
Mind-blowing. Epic. Transformational. Thank you Liz Gilbert .🙏🏾
Lis is an immense source of joy, wisdom and empowerment ❤️
‘The TRUTH has legs..’ Wow. THAT ladies and gentlemen, is the truth!
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
Jeez, every time. Liz gives me so much to work on. And also the reminder to acknowledge all the stuff I appreciate about myself. 💛
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
What a brilliant woman. Thank you Tim. Thank you Elizabeth.
I love this conversation; humbling and human, what I needed to hear. Especially the beginning, couldn’t stop listening. Thank you both. ❤️
Revisiting this conversation and finding new valuable wisdom. Thank you!
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.
My favourite TED speakers!! This is dream duo!!
Great conversation, thanks for sharing. I'm off to investigate Martha Beck...
First time I finished listening to something this long in one go. Such clarity.
Thank you Tim for your incredibly thoughtful questions that allowed such beautiful nuggets of wisdom from Elizabeth. Just wow, I'm changed from this.
THANK YOU for this interview. Everything that comes out of this woman's mouth is pure prose. Love both of you! xx
Great Interview ,,,What a fascinating Woman,,love it !!!
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!
Thank you for those brilliant hours. I loved all of it.
Thank you Liz and Tim for a truly gorgeous podcast
Thank you Tim for this nice podcast and amazing guest
Really enjoyed this when I listened as a podcast. Liz is very wise and I love how softly she speaks.
Wow, such a powerful interview! Thank you both ❤️❤️❤️
She's amazing, thank you!
This was so beautiful thank you Tim!
Powerful interview. Thank you. Love you both. 💚
This talk is pure gold! Thank you! 💞
OOOOH two of my faves in one convo, can. not. wait.
Thank you so much for this.
This was such a thoughtful and helpful conversation. Thank you both.♥️
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…
What a great episode!
Brilliant interview! Thank you! 🥰👌✨
I resent having to listen to advertising when I pay to skip ads
What a super interview - thankyou both

Yum!
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
@@mckinleaf great! Thanks!
Thoroughly enjoyed this, thank-you. Elizabeth is an incredible human being. I do have to say however, that something bothered me greatly. You speak about flaws of the human mind, how it isn't as advanced as the body in evolutionary terms. You also speak about mercy. However, the conversation and thinking is human-centric. There is no respect for other life-forms (eg: when you mock orangutans.) I feel that you, that humans, need to extend mercy towards all life forms - animals, plants, environment, the planet. I think this would take the human egoic mind further along the evolutionary pathway.
I agree with you. Thank you for sharing
Tim you need a new intro
True, but keep Arnold Schwarzenegger 😂
First time first comment!
6:55 it starts.

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.
NO MAN NO MAN NO MAN
I understand support and love......can we confuse this with sexual identity?
Three minute ad intro! Nope. Four minutes!

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.
Weired... Tim Ferriss' girlfriend sends an "I love you message" through him to a woman who left her husband for a woman. Note, she insisted. Naivety?
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
She's very selfish and cold hearted! I just push the stop button in the middle of the podcast.
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.
@@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!
@@isabelc.m9593 sorry but I think it's nonsense! we can romanticize the most stupid things together and call it love to justify our behavior!
@@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.
Just awful. Worst of TIm's guests yet. All that was missing were crystals and incense.
Ken Dec you may want to ask yourself why it is you feel that way
yeh Ken, whats wrong with you dooode?
She's nuts.
@@anthropomorphizedrock You may want to ask yourself why you like to go around saying to people "you may want to ask yourself why it is you feel that way".
Lol well look at the profile pictures of her demographic, theyre all young, entitled, inexperienced idiots who think life works like a movie.
She has talent but she also seems to very coldly go towards anything she wants, very immature. A horrible role model for women. A girl that isn't wealthy following her lessons will have their lives ruined by 45.
