You changed my life when I came across your lectures on KZitem back in 2018. I have been reading your books and articles, listening to your talks and interviews ever since. You have been the single most influential person in my life. I am turning 24 this year, and the past 3 years have been difficult due to my chronic illness, but your books and lectures have helped me keep my peace. It's always a joy to hear you speak. Keep doing the great work you do. Thank you for everything! Much love.

That's awesome. As a person with a chronic illness myself (Ulcerative Colitis, in fact I recently lost my entire large intestine and 30 percent of my small intestine due to the frickin thing) In what way did he impact your life? I am not religious, many people assume it's because of my chronic illness constantly teasing me with a life and then taking it away. Like I hate God as a result or some such nonsense. I suppose Robert helped me accept the fact that I didn't get as fair a shake at life as most others, but that's life. You do the best with what you have and move on, dwelling on what we cannot change doesn't help, there is no sky daddy coming to save me, it is up to me to make the best of it. Your turn?✌️

Robert, if you happen to read this comment. I just wanted you to know, you have changed my life in one of the most meaningful ways I’ve experienced. You’ve given me the most incredible gift, the gift of perspective in that, I no longer hate, blame or resent (although challenging at times), and instead, when I’m faced with a difficult situation (usually brought on by a difficult person), I channel what I call (my “inner Sapolsky” haha and remind myself to feel compassion and understanding. Thank you sir, even though you had little to do with it, and it’s just great luck/fortune that I happened upon your insights on KZitem 😊

i studied philosophy back in 2010, then went on to study Psychology later on and found your lectures in 2018 and my worldview changed 180 degrees. The way you talked about science and the value of interdisciplinary studies and how everything is weaved together floored me, especially your lecture about Chaos theory and James Gleick's book, which made me pursue a PhD(c) in Neuroscience. Thank you for giving us your wisdom so freely, Robert - many new scientists have been incredibly influenced by you whether you know it or not. My scientific journey would not have been what it is today if it wasn't for you. Love from Greece x

Thank you for all your work; you have changed my life. Ever since I was a child, I have constantly asked myself the same question: 'Why do people behave the way they do?' I discovered your lectures, books, and interviews, and learned so much about human behavior that I now consider my question answered. I have also developed a lot of compassion for people, because I understand that it's not their fault they behave the way they do.

I had always had that doubt... one day I searched for why we behave the way we behave on KZitem and opened a video of Sapolsky, at first I despaired a little because English is not my native language, but I ended up in his Ted Talk, he literally made sense of my doubt, I read behave and inquired more on the subject. I quit my job in engineering to study psychology and hope to major in neuro, and in the future neuroscience, Sapolsky's perspective not only answered my question concisely, it made me think more before getting frantic and I also feel more compassion.

Feynman for the Feynman's learning technique which says to check if you truly understand something then try to explain the concept without using technical words and instead describing what it is in simple words.

Oh for cryin out loud! I just wrote a complete response to this fun new episode, got to the end and somehow the whole thing slipped and got deleted. Eeesh! Here's an abbreviated 2nd try - Very nice to meet Offspring and see a good dad/daughter team 🙂 Interesting questions. Though I didn't know him well, one of the most intellectually formidable people I ever knew was Jerry Garcia. He certainly played formidable guitar. I always loved to listen. The ability to embrace or express complex thought can happen through many pathways, including music and art. What kind of music do you like? On religiousity and anxiety - there have been some very good studies done on this. I know one finding was that patients who are prayed for, even from a distance, often have better outcomes. Here's a good author - Harold Koenig MD. His book- The Healing Power of Faith. Another good author- Bernie Seigel MD. He did some excellent work with cancer patients. Worth checking out. The hyena and the army ants - Yikes! What an experience Africa must be! I traveled some myself when I was younger, only around the States. One or 2 road stories ~ Thanks for sharing some fun. Good wishes to both of you.

I have listened to Robert's long wonderful lectures starting about 9 years ago. What a way to be able to afford to learn more w/o being in college. TY Robert. Am very happy to absorb/assimilate this Offspring podcast, and I'm hoping to learn more about his time with baboons and his reflections on what he learned about them and us humans. I have several deepish questions that are starting to form; I'm hoping that I can work on editing them so that I can be super super clear. But I'd like to tell Robert and you, Offspring :) that I finally forgave my ex-husband (who unfortch has passed and I can't tell him that I have forgiven him) But I now think he was just like a non-monogamous vole, and I'm just like a monogamous vole. Years of therapy didn't help, but Robert's perspective did. Free will doesn't exist.

Hello this is Karen from Sydney. Love your discussions. Just thought I'd add something to the lovely offspring! Trichotillmania can be a very distressing condition, particularly for a beautiful young woman. I'm a registered psychologist and also suffered OCD since I was 6. My daughter has ADHD and severe anxiety. She has been through some severe exacerbation of her anxiety and associated conditions. She is 30 and now only has hair pulling and skin picking when she is severely stressed. I hope 🙏 you get some control of your symptoms. I could see how distressed the symptoms make you. I LOVE your Dad's lectures so no criticism intended. I think perhaps these symptoms can be pleasurable but it's a spectrum, and so, I hope your symptoms abate. Looking forward to future videos!!

As a clinical psychologist, I'm increasingly seeing the link between good mental health and religious belief as very tenuous. I'm sceptical of the true validity of studies which rely on self-report and basic measures. I come across so many religious people who don't recognise their own emotional vulnerability which is evident to others, stating their religion is their strength, etc while clearly suffering, particularly anxiety, but in denial.
