Guy Ritchie 'You Must Be The Master of Your Own Kingdom' - The Joe Rogan Experience

Joe Rogan and Guy Ritchie discuss the internal battle over self identity, the Prodigal Son parable, and the essence of narrative.

Taken from Joe Rogan Experience #956.

Guy Ritchie is like a character in a Guy Ritchie movie.

"Don't hate the game, love the game because you're in it, mate." This is awesome.

You ever notice how people who been successful in life are always philosophers at heart. They always gain this wisdom along their journey. Maybe thats the real gift of sucess, Not the money or the fame but the wisdom and life lessons.

This is the only skit from JRE I return back to year after year, the best piece of philosophy I’ve ever come across.

In one and half years listening to Joe and his guests I’ve learned more useful and interesting things that are relevant to my life-than I ever learned in 12 years of schooling and 3 years at university.

If you properly absorb what he's saying here - you can disregard every 'self help' book ever written for the rest of your life. This is all the advice you'll ever need. Beautifully articulated.

The way Guy broke down the story of The Prodigal Son just hit me so hard that I literally had to sit down in the middle of working and process it within myself.

[Baraccccccccus]

I always find it interesting when Americans and Englishmen interact in a conversation.

[purassicjark]

I had tears in my eyes when he was talking about the part of what the essence of a story is and the meaning of the sword in the stone and pulling it out, every man is a king of his own inner kingdom, he puts it so beautifully into words and so fluently so amazing man, this guy is great.

[BEARDEDAXEMODELS]

I really wish Joe would get Guy back on.. this podcast was fantastic

[x-Musashi-x]

As a Joseph Campbell student… Guy Ritchie does the tribal way of personal development. Intead of telling you how to be a master, he shows you through storytelling and symbolism. King Arthur spoke to me. After the movie I ended up cleaning my room 😅

[mesmith]

This is probably the most important interview on personal development Joe has ever put out. Save this to a playlist and watch it regularly to keep your mind on the right track.
You have to be master of the own dominion you’re given for your dominion to experience expansion. To contrast the emphasis of the narrative, how are you supposed to help others become the masters of their own dominions, if you can’t discipline yourself?

Posting this here for myself for further reference:


"If you don't own something, you're not the boss. You have to take full responsibility for everything that you do. Why be subservient? You must be the master of your own kingdom. You've got to own things - you can't just walk into things with your eyes half open, you've got to walk into things with your eyes fully open. You've got to know what you're getting into: you have to take possession of your own life.


"There's a world out there trying to tell you who you are, and there's a world in here that's trying to tell you who you are. Now where do you want to put your eggs? - because the world outside is very noisy and very tempting, and it has all the razzmatazz and all the glitter; its got all the toys, but that's because you don't think you're enough in the first place. If you don't think you're enough in the first place, the whole idea of the world in order to sell you stuff is first of all they have to make you feel bad about yourself.


"The expression 'don't hate the player, hate the game', well don't hate the game, love the game because you're in it mate. So, own the game, accept the rules and move on into the rules.


"So the world will try and tell you who you are, and you have to tell yourself who you are."

Would have been absolutely hilarious if Joe came back wearing a suit in the next episode.

[realricardoruiz]

Guy is very deep and insightful but practical at the same time. He's a thinker and a doer. Not easy to come by.

[BigGulps]

"Don't hate the game, because you're in the game." Great point.

[tiorimas]

Sometimes I come back to this video to experience Guy's wisdom once again.
