Summary

Jimmy Carr is a comedian, television host and an author. Jimmy is known as 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...

0:00.0	Jimmy Carl, welcome to the show. Thank you very much. I'm a big fan of it. I'm kind of nervous about
0:05.2	talking to you in a weird way, because I like the show. I really like you as a kind of cultural
0:12.4	entity. I think it's a really interesting kind of journey you've had, and I get so much from
0:17.7	this show. You know, that phrase, I think you use it probably more than any other phrase.
0:22.6	Does it grow corn?
0:24.1	And for me, this show really kind of grows corn.
0:26.6	There's so many little things that I've taken from this that I've kind of gone,

0:33.1	So kind of the practical application of the wisdom, what you get out of people seems to be very easy to integrate into life.
0:42.0	Right. So the bar's been set high for you today then if you start dicking around.
0:46.4	Well, I mean, dicking around is sort of what I do. So the other thing is like I kind of get more nervous being myself than being sort of the comedic persona, you know,
