[hubermanlab]

Great conversation and thank you for the kind mention!

[rorymatthews]

Astonishing lower back endurance from Sam. This man really sat unsupported for 3 hours.

[rachelbrogniet]

Each time i listen to Sam, it encourages me to learn and think more deeply.

[roadie]

Sam is lowkey hilarious. I would pay money to see him do standup (I see you in stitches, Chris!)

[Jch]

For about 12-13 years now Sam has been my intellectual hero. Not because I agree with him on all things, but because on the things I DONT agree with him on, he makes me understand the other side… and on the things I DO agree with him on, I listen in extreme gratitude and desperate appreciation that someone can summarize my similar thoughts where and when I cannot.

[geisenm]

You dropped it so casually, but I am absolutely dying over "ideologically spit-roasted"

[sammisseldine]

Absolute Legend!
This man has saved my life ten times over and I love him for it

[imagecrafting]

Chris I know this is your podcast but 2 things Sam Harris said in this conversation crystalized 2 thoughts for me. One is I've been trying to come up with a daily affirmation that is not corny and that is really me and when he uttered the phrase "Greek level tragedy" I knew that was it. So the affirmation I came up with around that was "Michael, You Are Loved and Forgiven Despite Your Greek Level Tragedies." But more importantly I have been searching my entire 56 years for a personal mission statement if you will, and the metaphor of trying to maintain straight path despite crosswinds spoke to my aviation heart. And so thanks to you and obviously Sam Harris, but you because if I hadn't found your podcast I wouldn't have found this conversation I have come up with this as my personal life statement:

The True Heading I am attempting to track despite heaving social Crosswinds and sudden internal Downdrafts is to live an unashamed, authentic life before mankind and an inner life of tranquil contentment.

Thank you for your podcast and thank you Sam Harris for two pieces of earth shattering inspiration in one talk. Astounding.

[VAZZ]

Love how Sam says “ if you have the bandwidth to listen to a 3 hour podcast then you’ve hit the sweet spot and will have plenty of opportunity” while I pick dorito crumbs out of my bellybutton

[jackhawn]

Chris, longtime listener and longer time general podcast listener. You’re changing the game, man. The quality of your interviewing and interviewees is superb, the quality of cinematography, the care for aesthetic and artistic beauty and appreciation for the way in which your already good work is and can such be elevated; it is all easy to appreciate. I’m excited to see where the show is heading if this recent excellence in content is only a step in its evolution. It’s inspired me to wonder how I can elevate myself and the work I output beyond the norm. Looking forward to Jordan 2.0, hope you manage to capture him in such atmosphere and in as many pixels. Thanks for being an antidote to the chaos of modern life and for taking the more difficult road of creating genuinely meaningful and high-brow long form content in a world ruled by cheap short-form thrills.

[albertbanerjee]

Beautifully shot and thought provoking. I think I saw a much earlier podcast (about cheating? or heartbreak?) that was filmed on an incredibly puffy brown couch. This was beautiful. And I'm really appreciating the care with the lighting and visuals. Of course a great conversation too. I really appreciate Sam's careful and nuanced articulation of ideas. The fact that he is rigorously critical of religion yet respects spirituality is a beautiful move through complex terrain. So much so he has one of the best meditation apps I've come across. One that does real justice to the diverse philosophy and wisdom of the Buddhist and yogic traditions.

[Puleczech]

I am so damn glad Sam is getting more and more exposure.

[saeedwho]

As a religious man, this is my first time hearing Sam Harris in its entirety I've always seen portions of his talk and his beliefs in general, but that's only half of the truth as he said, brilliant guy, i thoroughly enjoyed this conversation and kudos to you Chris.

[ebert]

I think i will always be happy to listen to sam harris.❤

[afathersday]

Nice to get introduced to you through Sam, Chris. Sam is the absolute best. Great conversation.

[mactireliath]

Getting truly present is definitely one of the most difficult undertakings one can attempt. It is a hidden treasure to be sure

[corqMcc]

I’m increasingly finding Sam Harris fascinating and wise. I see people really challenged by him but he knows himself. And sees wisely. I don’t agree with everything but wow he’s his own man.

[johndough]

His quote about what the reaction to covid would have been if he was right is insane peak level narcissism.
