Hi I'm Rich Roll. I'm a vegan ultra-endurance athlete, author, podcaster, public speaker & wellness evangelist at large. But mainly I'm a dad of four. If you want to know more, the NY Times wrote some nice things:

I am barely 10 min in and wow. I have always fought to stay true to myself in a family and world where I felt so different. I feel such a calling in me to live extremely simple and free. A tiny house, by nature with my animals. Just going inward, connecting with my soul and all that is, and sharing that bliss through my passions. I just have never found a way to get from A to B. Society and conforming is like a straight jacket. I am that person in the middle. I feel like a seed that is trying to burst up from the soil and shine my fullest self. I just haven’t been able to fully figure it all out. But I guess that’s the journey. It’s all about becoming. I love becoming.
Man I feel a tremendous feeling of fullness when I am Rich's podcasts
I'm so glad I found Rich Roll way before starting my recovery 💜 I feel relief everytime he talks about alcoholism and his journey. Great inspiration, beautiful human being!!
Damar Vazquez awesome! I have 5 years and just found him❤️
I love him, he is totally without ego and is sooooo reassuring 👏👏👏
@@JustForFun-zg5nz you will enjoy every one of his podcasts
Conformism kills the soul. It's a great feeling to be suffering (dare I say, but it is) through the transformation of working through no longer "fitting" into your chosen career after 33 years and move toward authenticity that fuels the soul. Plenty of people and also our own limiting, self-crushing ego want to keep us below the treeline and keep us in our safe (uncomfortable) zone. Don't listen to either one. Flourish in your own thing.
I enjoyed my time with you Rich Roll and Guru Singh. Being yourself 🙏🏼
Haven't even listened yet but as a newbie kundalini devotee after a 30 year heroin habit I love this man/guru gentle loving guidance and I love the truth & giving nature of title of this encounter w , what seems to me, a loving soul. Sat nam
This is an amazing podcast. The one thing I am noticing here, as well as the beauty and depth of the content you are discussing, is the beautiful attentiveness which Guru Singh is showing towards you. I find that a lot of people who are being interviewed, tend to take over the interview, and steer it in the direction they want to take it in. Guru Singh is just absolutely allowing you to steer this, and he is offering some beautifully reflexive responses. I often hear amazing insights on various podcasts, but on this one I am picking up a beautiful dynamic between the two of you.
Yeees finally a new episode with Guru Singh, LOVE that guy. Guro corner are my favorite episodes.
I love how he says we can either grow/be reborn from a crisis or stay in victimhood, this is soooo true
😅😅 3:52 3:53 😅

Your conversations are like a breath of fresh air. Thank you both for the conversations you bring to the people! They are so simple yet profound. Much love!
Thank you, Rich and Guru Singh, for nourishing my soul this morning. This is exactly what I needed to hear in this moment. I am so grateful to you both for having the courage to be your authentic selves, and for sharing the process and some of the tools with those of us taking tentative steps.
I spent a good 10 mins trying to figure out how to put this in words and I still can't. All I'm gonna say is... I'm really happy I got to discover this channel and hear Guru Singh. All of what is being said here is stuff I've been working on for years, and it's really nice to see that this kind of people still exist.
The invisible embrace open doors to the eternal sea of joy and love. This is communicated in so many ways and in all fields. Make your heart sing and symphonies of Life vibrates all of us. 🎵🌷🎶❤️
I love the realness here. I had many moments where i thought, "oh so other people experience this feeling or thought too!" Thank you for coming with the gentle guidance! Wholeness and Love to you all
Hey Rich, I am an Occupational Therapist. The idea with the gravity / weighted blanket is that your body craves the sense of PROPRIOCEPTION. This is the sense of how you know where your joints are in space. (If you shut your eyes, you know the exact position of your hands, if they are in the air or resting on your lap, etc.) MANY people crave this sensation and it helps to regulate the nervous system. Yes, people with autism can tend to crave/ need MORE, but it is entirely mainstream. You probably crave it now, unknowingly . Activities that people seek to calm the nervous system / to gain this proprioception are activities that give more pressure to your joints, such as running, jumping, hugging, yoga, doing heavy work, and yes, sleeping with a weighted blanket.
So, if you feel you are 'out of whack' or perhaps that something is internally amiss, it could be that you crave a good, long run because your body is seeking more proprioception. (In addition to releasing those wonderful endorphins.
I wish you peace and love. Your diligence and depth of the podcasts are truly beautiful, and I thank you. And I hope you read this since this podcast has been published over 2 years ago.
This is just what I needed. Rich and Guru Singh you hit the spot. Every. Single. Time
This is so pure serendipity! Needed to hear every single word of this at this time! Very grateful for both of you!
Sat Nam ♡
What a difference in their postures ... Rich sit up straight!

So good. I really needed to hear this today. THANK YOU!
You guys ROCKED it in this episode!!! Thanks for great messages and inspiration! Guru Singh keep on bringin' it and Power on RICH ROLL!!!!
Waking up to Rich Roll...oh yeah baby!
He is the OGS. So many points here explained so well that it makes so much sense if u think abt it. Sports or activities that force you to breath deeply are considered catalysts for breaking thru. My mind is blown!
I LOVE THESE SESSIONS!!! 2 beautiful beings 💜
Wonderful podcast!! It is always enjoyable to listen to and to learn from the two of you. I have a gravity blanket too! It is amazing. Thank you for once again speaking and singing to my heart.
Rich roll you have just inspired me and blown my mind so much. I love these videos. Keep it up!
The knowledge he shared is from Indian Vedic Period followed by Hindus.
Westerners want to take everthing but never want to give credit to Hinduism
I like this so much! Love his music and love this guy! So great.
The literacy of your discourse is inspiring!
Thank you so much. your conversation was remarkable. Very helpful. I have watched this, I am on my third time watching. each time picking up new aspects. Beautiful, I needed this. thanks again.
Oh I’m crying listening to this song ✨💫thank you 🙏💚
Loved this episode. So much insight and aha moments for me! Thank you
22:40 Rich's reaction to Julie's theory and then Guru Singh's reaction to his reaction is just down right gold!!
Yes!! I love when GS is on with Rich and Julie!
Rich!!! Please hear me up! Because left/right brain development was a topic in your podcast - you should check out Tony Wright´s work and invite him on one of your podcasts! His work is fascinating and needs more recognition.
Thank you to you both! Really enjoyed it.
That harmony in the song at the end was perfect!
Love this. What a great guy!
Beautiful conversation, thank you both for your beautiful wisdom and heart, 💟
Loved this conversation! Listening to you two is always inspiring. My son is on the autistic spectrum (I am too probably!) so was really interested to hear about your wife's theory especially as you are talking about social conformity! My son has a heavy blanket - it really helps with the sensory processing for him. Your book just arrived thanks to Amazon so I'm looking forward to reading it. Thanks for another great podcast!
LOVE THIS SO MUCH
That was cool, great reminder about having silent a practice and keepin' on keepin' on:-) BTW love the intro/outro music!
Always a wonderful conversation with Rich Roll, !
deepest gratitude for your efforts to motivate us.
Wow love both these dudes didn’t know they knew each other 😮🙏🏼
Loving your podcasts. The song is also great.
This was really good. Thank you both.
Love this guy💖
Great interview. Love to see you interview Byron Katie.
Mr Rich Roll i dont know if you read the comments, but i just wanted to say that i discovered you via the Transcendence movie series on FMTV. I really really love your podcasts and the way these conversatons unfold. I also i have that feeling that you want keep track or want to be aware of who you listeners are and in what situations they are. There is so much wisdom to be found here, sometimes almost too much to unpack all at once. More reason to binge watch your podcasts! This one was especially amazing, i am certainly one of those "people in the middle". I am just working on that GPS settings in my unconcsious :D Thanks!
love guru singh
Awesome, Rich! ✌️🌱
Please consider having Cole Robinson on the podcast!
Thanks much
I feel like one of those people in between that is just sort.of on cruise control through life. I feel like your podcast and others have woken me up. Please give me more resources on how to wake up and not be in between!! Thanks!!
Sat Nam
I've been looking into a gravity blanket ever since I first heard about it! Rich, what blanket did you buy? Does anyone else have experience with them?
Update: I've just spent the first hour with my new blanket and I'm in love. Thank you for mentioning the benefits in this podcast!
I bought the gravity blanket - thanks for the tip!
thank you yogaie
INHALE EXHALE :) super awesome
Awesome
I came for the insight and stayed for the Word(s) of the Day: circuitous, anathema & capote 🙏🏼
Have I got the right word "capote", the use case was: "capote with the trajectory that you're on" - presume it implies "fit" but the definition: a usually long and hooded cloak or overcoat
Each one of us has the potential to reflect the attributes of God. This is the meaning of man being created in the image of God. “For in him are potentially revealed all the attributes and names of God to a degree that no other created being hath excelled or surpassed.”3 We are able to reflect divine attributes to the extent that we cleanse the mirrors of our hearts and minds through prayer, the study and application of the sacred scriptures, the acquisition of knowledge, efforts to improve our conduct and to overcome tests and difficulties, and service to humanity.
Among the forces that assist us to cultivate the spiritual qualities latent within us-such as kindness, justice, truthfulness, and trustworthiness-are the love of God, attraction to beauty, and thirst for knowledge. The operation of these and other edifying forces contribute to strengthening our sense of purpose, impelling us both to transform ourselves and to contribute to the transformation of society.
❤️
Best
I am me. I'm 60. Don't give a damn about what others think of me. Peace.
💯🔥🔥🔥👊🏿
Hmmm gravity blankets, MOST INTERESTING!
💯✨🙏🚀🎬
That "helmets and face masks" comment is pretty deep in this context
I think for us rational and spiritual people, we can get stuck in the rationalization of why our spiritual dreams and passions may not play out due to so many rational reasons
Great episode. Thank you both
i want a gravity blanket! thank you!!!
Gravity Blanket, best thing ever!
thank you 5 min aday
I wonder what would happen if Goggins and Guru Singh did a joint episode?
Hunter Yeary it be gold 🙏🤗👍
Bahá’u’lláh has written:
“O CHILDREN OF MEN! Know ye not why We created you all from the same dust? That no one should exalt himself over the other. Ponder at all times in your hearts how ye were created. Since We have created you all from one same substance it is incumbent on you to be even as one soul, to walk with the same feet, eat with the same mouth and dwell in the same land, that from your inmost being, by your deeds and actions, the signs of oneness and the essence of detachment may be made manifest. Such is My counsel to you, O concourse of light! Heed ye this counsel that ye may obtain the fruit of holiness from the tree of wondrous glory.”
Where can I buy a Gravity Blanket?
Just bought two blankets for my kids - but I may steal them ;0)
Central to the spiritual life is the development of spiritual qualities that assist each of us in our eternal journey towards God. In this world, the cultivation of such qualities is inseparable from an ongoing refinement of our conduct in which our actions increasingly come to reflect the nobility and integrity with which every human being is endowed. ‘Abdu’l-Bahá states:
“We must strive unceasingly and without rest to accomplish the development of the spiritual nature in man, and endeavor with tireless energy to advance humanity toward the nobility of its true and intended station.”
Spiritual qualities develop in a matrix of growing love and knowledge, and in accordance with divine law. As we allow the knowledge of God to increase in our minds and hearts, the qualities of our higher nature begin to flourish. With greater and greater clarity, we discern between that which is conducive to loftiness and that which leads to abasement, and we advance in our understanding of the physical universe, the human being, society, and the life of the spirit. Love grows with knowledge and true understanding is enhanced by love. A false dichotomy between heart and mind is avoided.
There are many factors that contribute to this development, among them prayer, reflection, willingness to learn, and constant daily effort-particularly in service to humanity. In striving to live a spiritual life, too much focus on oneself can be counterproductive. Bahá’u’lláh writes that we should fix our thoughts on “that which will sanctify…the hearts and souls of men.” “This,” He continues, “can best be achieved through pure and holy deeds, through a virtuous life and a goodly behavior.” ‘Abdu’l-Bahá has written: “How excellent, how honorable is man if he arises to fulfill his responsibilities; how wretched and contemptible, if he shuts his eyes to the welfare of society and wastes his precious life in pursuing his own selfish interests and personal advantages.”
We may think of our efforts to develop spiritual qualities in terms of walking humbly with our Lord, persevering and learning, free from guilt, accepting the inevitability of error, but never losing sight of what is potentially within us. Although difficulties and setbacks are unavoidable, this is a joyful pursuit, full of happiness.
Among the greatest dangers in this lifelong process, in this gradual refinement of character, are self-righteousness, superiority and pride-traits which distort the entire spiritual enterprise and undermine its foundation.

Bring on Sadhguru!
Alright well I've only attracted women in the past who knows how when I did and I've learned shit all about socializing. For whatever reason I'm just starting to realize that I like coding rather than any other customer service type of work I've done. I went through my addiction phase and I've been on medication for insomnia for many years. Gravity blanket time because I guess I'm rain man
A white guy pretending to be indian, tbh this is a first for me
He is very famous with the pretentious yet naive feminist new age/yoga pants wearing/starbucks sipping cult.
His white wife is also part of his hate male cult you should see her and her getup.
In the age of Aquarius (which doesn't really start for a couple hundred years) there will be a lot of hippy wannabe cults of mindless followers spouting new agey things.
They will be very materialistic and ego driven.
The complete opposite of what they say they are.
A new age cargo cult of old dead CIA hippie infiltrators.
A negative CZcams comment dissing someone who’s unapologetically themselves. Not a first for me
His idea of individuality in agrarian societies is completely wrong. Very frustrating to listen to. Our ability to express our individuality in first world countries is better than it has ever been in any time period. Why do religious people always do this harkening back to simpler times thing? They were far from all entrepreneurs. Has he no idea of history at all? It's so much I can't even say where to begin. As a witch and a woman I'm just so annoyed. You could not deviate from the norm AT ALL. And the consequences were not social ostracism, which itself could mean death, but possibly death. Today we have huge amount of freedom of movement and ability to find like-minded people so there are very few risks to being a unique person living true to themselves compared to in the past.
It's true that in the 1st world countries we never had more freedom to express ourselves and yet many people don't do it. I think people are aware of that they have all the possibilities, but they feel trapped, because they are very disconnected from what they are. That's where the frustration and suffering comes from, from our self made restrictions. He doesn't say that people don't have the ability to be themselves, but that they don't dare to. I don't see that he gloryfies the past neither. He hints on the opportunity that lies in a healthy connection and interaction between humans and nature. Since we are a part of it, it's a necessity to become whole by acting as a part of nature and to connected to your inner self at the same time. I didn't understand it as a wish to go back to the old times. On the contrary, it can bring you to the next level. And finally, the better entrepreneur would be a person true to itself. There is no contradiction and no utopian picture of the future humankind. There's just very wise advice to dare to get back into yourself, how to and what to expect on the way. Totally aplicable for modern society people.
