The perfection and brilliance of his show certainly did that for many, many millions of people, for some segment of time. Jerry certainly seems to have found his true "calling", always seems like a decent guy who doesn't get into any trouble, and has ultra clean comedy style that pretty much can't offend anybody apart from stupid people!

      There's some good advice to be followed in Marcus Aurelius' Meditations, for example, but don't get too hung up on stoicism, because that's not completely healthy either. Sometimes you really need to express your anger and other powerful emotions if you don't want it to build up inside and literally get sick at some point, which has been proven for decades by studying the connection between body and emotions, and how cancer and autoimmune diseases appear, in most cases.
      Stoicism without therapy is pretty much bottling everything inside, which is a bad idea if you're not in control of your emotional state.

Meaning, being in the right place at the right time, how harmoniously all the right people came together for that show. That's not to say he did not work really hard in addition, or that he had everything handed to him... not at all. I'm just saying, that Jungian "synchronicities" seemed to happen more with me when I meditated, and I can see how someone like Seinfeld benefited in unseen ways that go beyond what we typically think of as cause/effect benefits of TM.

    Like you, i feel younger than i am. Like you, i didn't work after covid for 2 years. I just started exercising 9 months ago. I couldn't walk half a block.
    Exercising, weight training has been my savior. ( my depression is still here, and unlike you i want to not live, but at least I'm physically healthy). Working out is my meditation. I can squat and deadlift very heavy weights because I focus on one simple thing at a time. I do meditate and have taught others. I also do yoga.
    I love how you interview. You do it with humor, mindfulness and with Sincereness. At least that is what i have observed.
    Thank you. I will read up on stoicism. I have read a bit on saint Thomas Aquinas, Buddhism, and others.

      His "comedians in cars" episode with Michael was really memorable. You can really tell how much he suffered for and was haunted by his mistake, how genuinely sorry he was, and how difficult it has been for him to get past the shame, guilt, and public backlash he experienced from that. A lesson in self forgiveness, and the injustice of sometimes paying mercilessly and 10 thousand fold for a mistake as simple as letting anger get the better of you for just a few seconds.

Close eyes and consciously relax your entire body; breathe in deeply and breathe out long (put lips together and push air out through the closed lips); do this about 20 to 30 times. Your body will start to feel relaxed. Then, start repeating your mantra silently to yourself. If you have no mantra (say from a TM ceremony), try repeating something like: "shiva om," or other spiritually enriched words that resonate with you. Keep silently repeating, in your own mind, that mantra or those spiritually comforting words. In the beginning try doing meditations for at least 20 minutes and then increase to 50 minutes or longer, if you feel so inclined. Best is around 50 - 60 minutes of meditation. Sometimes you are really in the zone and meditations can go on for much longer than one hour.

    A very frank & truthful interview by Jerry. Thank You Bro!!! As a stand up myself I always looked up to Jerry, because he was so clean & creative. A friend of mine opened up for him back in the late 80’s (At Mr. Rips in Spring Valley, NY-Remember Mr. Rips Jerry?) I was very envious of him as I would’ve liked that gig myself. Anyway our paths never directly crossed & the show soon came out & he took off. I was a regular at Dangerfield’s & he never played there. Alas, most of my friends in comedy have passed as it is a tough lifestyle, but myself like Jerry-we keep going. Even though I’m not regularly doing stand-up anymore I think about comedy all the time & think about funny stuff. I’m looking forward to Jerry’s MooVee-Unfrosted!!! It looks like it will be pretty funny as people from our generation will relate to it (Jerry & I are about the same age). Regardless of the reviews I’m sure I’ll love it❤️❤️❤️❤️. Keep on keepin’ on Jerry as in these horrific political times we all need to laugh more than ever!!!🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
