Hello, everybody. Welcome back to the show. My guest today is Jimmy Carr. He's a comedian,

television host, and an author. Jimmy is one of the best one-line comics in history,

but this episode goes way deeper than you're probably expecting. It's far less about jokes,

and far more about Jimmy's obsession with human psychology, frameworks, and thinking tools.

Expect to learn what the most important question to ask yourself is, why you have probably been

thinking about luck incorrectly, what the two great myths in life are, the most common misconceptions

about being famous, how to survive a cancellation attempt, what kind of relationship we should have

with our inner critic, how to enjoy the passage of time in a graceful way, and much more.

I got to know Jimmy over the last few months, so I'm not particularly surprised about what he

talks about today, which is unbelievable deep insights into human nature and personal growth

and development, but if you're expecting a list of Joseph Fritzel jokes, you may be a little

a little bit taken aback. Jimmy is a really, really genuinely deep thinker and a phenomenal human.

There is so much to take away from today, and I really, really hope that you enjoy this one.
