"Every man has two lives; the second begins when he realizes he only has one." That hit a nerve. Great interview!

" People don't want to live longer, they want more memories " hit me in the chest ❤

Im female in my 40s, single, no kids, unbelievable unlucky with a tonne of health issues, Im on disability and living in a council house, I've lived and suffered and I've learned and I've found gratitude for everything, I've found calm and kindness for myself and my health frustrations, I've found acceptance and grace. Has my life of situation improved with all the Dr's, effort and work not really, has my attitude resolve patience and perseverance changed absoloutely. I have less now than ever and nothing that's expected of people and I'm happier than I've ever been.

Jimmy said that gratitude is the mother of all virtues. Addicts have been living by this and recovering for decades using gratitude.

Jimmy Carr's comedic style was never my cup of tea, so it is such a pleasure to find out what an interesting, insightful, and intelligent person he is! Thank you!

14:55 "They're jealous of what you've got, they're not jealous of how you got it." - J. Carr 💯🖤

SO MUCH WISDOM about life from comedian. I would never thought.

Im so grateful for what you say: life dysmorphia - Brillant!

" It's your quality of life, minus envy, that's how happy you are " ...wow that hit true

I'm 20 minutes in and Jimmy has already dropped so much valuable wisdom. What a guy.

This guy is super fucking intelligent

i regularly rewatch Sean Lock clips and despite the loss we feel i am always conscious of how Sean's family and friends feel. seeing Jimmy break at the mention of Sean speaks volumes. a wise and thoughtful man is Jimmy Carr.

'Confidence without competence is madness', what a quote.

As a retired teacher, I really felt our education system fails our people, especially males. There is hardly any emphasis on what makes a healthy human being. As a teacher, I just felt we were churning out sausages. Some would gain skills to be employed in the labour market, others would fail. There is so much more our education system could do to raise well adjusted individuals, and members of society.

Gratitude reduces anxiety... It also brings peace and shows love...

I'm about halfway through and I am hooked, the number of pithy but accurate life advice quotes is amazing... The only thing I think they have both ignored (at least so far) is that not everyone who tries will succeed, even if they dedicate their life to a particular goal, failure is not just a possibility but a likelihood. From the perspective of someone who put the work in and succeeded I can see where they are coming from but I also recognize that for every Jimmy Carr who decided to pick a path and try to become the best there are thousands of people who picked a path and still exclusively play to disinterested rooms for £50. Most people will fail by virtue of the numbers, and those people may well have been better off choosing a good life over chasing a great one.

"You cannot have an easy life and a strong character at the same time." So true. It makes me feel so proud of everything I have gone through.

My Dad always worked, 3 jobs sometimes, because he had too. I didn’t see much of him as a kid. When I was older (late teens maybe) he mentioned how he feels he missed everything, just off the cuff no real emphasis on it, while we were chatting and cooking. I stopped him and said “Even as a kid I knew why you did it, that you had to, that the reason I had food and a roof was because of you. Thank you for what you did. You didn’t miss my childhood, you made it possible.” I think he let go of years of guilt and tension. I’m sure he wanted to stop and help raise me one on one, but he couldn’t. You aren’t a bad person because you cant.

"The opposite of gratitude is resentment. If you think someone has ruined your life, you're right. It's you! Mike drop" -this piece of wisdom, I'll remember forever. Thank you!
