After all these years i finally realized who Jocko reminds me of. Optimus Prime.
Made me laugh because it's funny, and because I agree.
You can glean something from anyone. Even a friend of Oprah. Eat the fish and spit out the bones. Well done once again Jocko.
If you're not happy with what you got be greatful you didn't get what you deserve.
A metal dildo impaling me vlad the impaler style
Happiness can’t be “found” because it’s the level of appreciation you have. Looking for the next thing that is going to “make” you happy means you don’t appreciate what you currently have.
100%
This Brooks is something of a braggart, dropping stats and titles about himself, his wife and children. I find him.. Posturing.
I do too to be honest. Im like man, like, say something inciteful, not rattle on about your life, idk, like I understand, thats what Jocko is asking him I suppose but he also tends to let his peeps come on and just do their thing.
Ohh the real therapist show

01:37:39 🧠 Addiction and brain chemistry can lead to substituting one addiction for another, including shifting from alcohol to other pursuits like business or fitness.
01:38:20 📚 Arthur C. Brooks merges neuroscience, social psychology, and behavioral economics to offer actionable happiness insights for everyday life.

01:43:42 🧠 Crystallized intelligence, focused on wisdom and pattern recognition, peaks in one's 60s and 70s, enhancing teaching, mentoring, and leadership abilities over time.
01:46:42 📖 "Build the Life You Want" isn't just an extension of articles; it's a collaboration with Oprah Winfrey, aiming to introduce happiness science to a broader audience.
01:51:40 🧠 Metacognition is about consciously experiencing emotions, separating them from behavior, and managing them from the prefrontal cortex rather than letting emotions control actions.
01:52:23 🧘♂ Techniques like meditation, talking to yourself in the third person, and journaling emotions help create a distance from emotions, allowing for conscious decision-making.
01:57:09 🧘 Practice Metacognition: Detach from emotions by understanding you aren't your emotions. Utilize techniques like prayers of petition to help analyze and respond appropriately to feelings.
01:58:19 🪞 Detachment in High-Stress Situations: In intense situations (e.g., military), practice detachment. Take a step back, slow down breathing, and widen your view. Detachment helps manage emotions and make better decisions.
02:03:32 📝 Journaling for Emotional Processing: Writing helps process emotions effectively. Encourage others, including children, to express themselves by being "metacognitive."
02:05:36 ⚖ Focus Unfocused Fear: Address generalized anxiety by focusing on specific fears. Write down fears, analyze them, and formulate a plan. This process helps manage anxiety and provides a sense of control.
02:07:02 🤝 Caring for Others: Engaging in moral deeds and acts of kindness for others leads to increased well-being. Helping others actively fosters a sense of purpose, control, and reduces anger and social isolation.
02:10:44 🏠 Four Pillars of Happiness: Focus on four key pillars for lasting happiness: Faith, Family, Friends, and Work. These pillars provide enjoyment, satisfaction, and purpose, acting as essential elements in the "happiness 401k plan."
02:13:46 🏡 Build Your Imperfect Family: Embrace family conflicts as opportunities for improved communication. Acknowledge imperfections, prioritize family bonds, and recognize the magic in familial relationships.
02:15:51 💑 Complementary Relationships: Instead of seeking someone similar, complimentary relationships often work well. Embrace differences, appreciate each other's unique qualities, and understand that conflicts are a natural part of relationships.- 01:57:09 🧠 Developing metacognitive techniques helps detach from emotions, enabling better decision-making and control over reactions.
01:58:05 🪖 Teaching detachment strategies, like pausing in high-stress situations, aids in managing emotions, especially in demanding environments like the military.
01:59:45 🌊 Detaching from emotions by widening perspectives (like scanning after shooting) reduces anxiety, enhancing calmness and decision-making.
02:00:28 😡 Reactive behavior, controlled by emotions, contrasts with managing emotions to make rational decisions. Teaching this skill early on benefits individuals greatly.
02:01:41 📝 Writing emotions down or journaling aids in processing feelings, particularly during times of loss or emotional distress.
02:04:13 😰 Unfocused fear leads to generalized anxiety; focusing fears through writing and analysis helps manage anxiety levels effectively.
02:06:33 💕 Engaging in moral deeds for others contributes significantly to well-being, fostering a sense of purpose and control.
02:08:29 🤝 Prioritizing helping others over self-care, especially in times of feeling low, significantly impacts one's outlook and happiness.
02:10:44 🌟 The fundamental pillars of happiness: faith, family, friends, and work, hold greater significance than mere happiness hacks or trivial habits.
02:13:05 📊 Developing a strategic plan focused on faith, family, friends, and work is vital for long-term happiness and fulfillment.
02:13:46 🤗 Acknowledging and embracing family conflicts, along with prioritizing genuine relationships, enriches communication and depth within family dynamics.
02:15:10 👫 Cultivating a complementary relationship rather than seeking similarity is crucial for a successful and fulfilling marriage.
02:16:46 🧠 Understanding the neurochemical cascade in romantic relationships helps explain why boundaries matter in workplace interactions to avoid emotional entanglements.
02:18:33 🤯 Intimacy-building exercises can create a profound sense of connection and even lead strangers to feel like they've fallen in love.
02:19:59 💔 Dating profiles based on overly similar characteristics can attract compatible friends but not necessarily suitable partners. Compatibility and complementarity are crucial.
02:20:27 🌍 Diverse relationships, embracing differences in culture, background, and race, may result in healthier, more successful romantic connections.
02:22:57 🏢 Negative emotional contagion can undermine problem-solving in families or work environments, emphasizing the need to foster positive emotional environments.
02:24:20 🤝 Forgiveness is crucial in relationships; explicit or non-verbal forgiveness can be effective, fostering healthier bonds.
02:25:59 🔍 Brad Blandon's "Radical Honesty" suggests total honesty, avoiding even white lies, as it can deepen connections and reduce stress.
02:27:38 🎯 Being honest with oneself is the cornerstone of radical honesty, leading to integrity in interactions and relationships.
02:32:31 📚 Building and maintaining friendships requires conscious effort and purpose, not just relying on natural occurrence.
02:33:55 🧠 Teaching what you know helps solidify your understanding, leveraging your prefrontal cortex for clearer comprehension.
02:35:47 🧠 Understanding happiness involves recognizing our unique emotional intensity.
02:36:12 🤹 Emotions vary in intensity, placing individuals in different affect categories.
02:36:40 🧬 High intensity emotions contribute to creativity but require management.
02:37:09 🧩 People fall into quadrants of emotional intensity, each offering unique gifts.

02:42:57 💼 Workplace dynamics and personal relationships should be handled with care to avoid emotional entanglements.

Thank you my friend, from Russia
Thank You
Loved this one. Thank you very much, Arthur, Echo and Jock! May God bless you all and all of us!
Although I didn't agree with everything Mr. Brooks said, so much of what he said and his insights into human nature were spot on, and super intriguing. Thank you for having him on the podcast Jocko. It was an excellent conversation.
So appreciate this. Arthur Brooks brings absolute gold in this book. Grateful for the perspective and direction.
I have had the greatest of days and events in my life and still searched for happiness. Best way I found the solution was to serve those in my family and those around me. It gives back to fill my personal meaning of why I am here and what I bring to others in this journey. Best Jocko .....dropped some merch under the tree this year for me.
This was a really insightful and amazing conversation! Thank you Jocko and Arthur 🙏
I have found an endless stream of living water that fills me with joy. Happiness I don’t know but joy that surpasses knowledge I have.
Yes! Arthur Brooks! If I see him on a podcast, I listen/watch.
Indescribably helpful... so glad to find intellectual+ spiritual hope..as I go to teach in the darkness this morn
Indescribably helpful? Lol grow a brain, girl.
I'm try so hard not to bagg on this guy, until, he tells the story of meeting and courting his wife, and now I've completely changed my mind on him. Thats an incredible feat, my hat is off to you, sir
What i take from this podcast is the fact that RIGHT PARTNER can push you to be the best version of you,
🎉 thank you brother, I’m not perfect but I continue trying to do my best
Happy is where it is at.
Great interview!!! I learned more cool things about Albert C Brooks in the 1st 1/2 hour of your expert questions!!!
I especially like your "What's going on there???"
: )
Tony from Seattle
Psalms 144:15 KJV - Happy is that people, that is in such a case: yea, happy is that people, whose God is the LORD.
Happiness for me comes from a personal relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ. As a former unbeliever this world only offered me fun and distractions. I was always feeling like I was missing something.
See Jocko, one doesn't need to do BJJ to be happy and complete 😂😂😂

First “Adish”
Jocko....please run for President. You would win by a landslide. I am serious. I love you man.
Sorry, but the presidental candidates are obviously not democratically selected in USA.
The proof: out of 300 000 000 people, the choice last came down to a senile pedophile (Joe Biden) and a narcissistic criminal (Donald Trump). Well, ok, I guess Trump has something to do with kids too, since he used to go to Epstein’s parties. Well, anyway, some the hell how both have spent some time in the office. I guess China did not congratulate the US as a joke when it addressed it as a secret dictatorship.
Sorry, I am a little drunk. But think about it...
Is there going to be any more Warrior Kids podcast? My kids love it!
Happiness was laying down in the nature of cape cod surrounded by love
Thank you 🙏🏻 oos
"Keep this thought at the ready at daybreak, and through the day and night - there is only one path to true happiness, and that is in giving up all outside of your shpere of choice (influence), regarding nothing else as your possession, surrendering all else to God and Fortune."
- Epicetus, Discourses, 4.4.39
Excellent Podcast
This was a great podcast episode! JOCKO didn’t hold any punches, referring to him as a nerd; However, Arthur had a few zingers too. I loved the banter undertones. Good podcast!
"nerd central" fuck'n Jocko..LOL!
Yeah that really made me laugh!
Thank you
Yeah... this is the first one I couldn't get into.
30 mins is all I could take of this guy. And I'm a musician.
I feel ya. Whereas some others do captivate you/me. That’s the beauty, I feel. The world is full of so many good people sharing different philosophies it’s actually hard to figure out which path to follow.
Lmao facts once the guy started complementing george bush and describing him as compassionate i was like yeah im all set with this guy. Hes just really spewing nonsense about happiness another “guru” thinks he figured out happiness or whatever that means.
Spot on!👊🏻🇺🇸
Impactful interview. I bought the guys book and signed up for DEF RESET 24
Right now is a gift, that's why they call it the present.
Pfffft, how original
@jocko how do you fight your own pirate copy of your own self. Do you attack, do you defend. How and what do you prepare for what’s coming. Is it really true that there’s only one country allowed to expand. Like the people you Americans were pirates against like the natives gotta learn how to make a pirate copy right? Fuck I love JD thank you for making me thinking differently depp!!!
Liked most of what he talked about up until the O.W. comment. Glad to hear his positive perspective though.
Echo is like Jocko s Morty
10:30 DANG
Wonder if Arthur C. Brooks has ever been in any kind of physical altercation?
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
You know what always intrigued me about soldiers is that before they would go and kill another man they would want to be blessed by a Catholic priest how ironic is that thou shall not kill, but then they want to be blessed
This guy is pretty full of himself and his ideas it seems
Syracuse!!!
Chase the money
Get gwop
Damn bro. I lost a good friend from the army hung himself in his parents garage still hurts me today
1) Never change horses in the middle of a stream.
Yeah...but what if the horse is dead?
That’s obvious than
I never or very rarely comment but I feel like I had to. I’ve only got as far as where you are discussing music but this guy kind of showed why he never made it big in classical music as a solo artist. The ones who do make it are great, if not the greatest, masters of creativity within constraints. It is akin to being a great architect. The musicians who recite perfectly get stuck playing for an orchestra. Nobody is going to want to hear you perform something solo if you have nothing to add to it. You’re not going to be signed by a label like Deutsche Grammophon and you’re not going to sell tickets. I studied piano for 14 years. I did not want to make it, Julliard be damned, the sea called my name. I was the “Fred” who did not want to put much work into it at a certain point. As a reference, Glenn Gould was one of the most rebellious guys in a type of music that seemingly allows the least wiggle room.
And that is the fucking truth
50:57 SUPREME AMEM
Genjutsu.
❤
Thanks sailor God bless y'all and may the Lord bless MAGA and Israel
Jocko is so smart, but it is sad he has yet to realize that true happiness and contentment is found only in Christ Jesus🙏🏻. Detachment and discipline help, sure, but true fulfillment is found on the Cross.
“George bush is an extremely compassionate person” 🤔
Yea once i heard that i was like yeah this guys all set. Might as well take down the whole episode the guest is a joke of a human. Happiness isnt found its attracted.
The phrase “compassionate conservatism” was coined by, Richard, DeVos , founder of Amway corporation who wrote a book in the early 90s of the same name. Obviously, George W. Bush was familiar with him because they are heavy, Republican donors, and his daughter served on Donald Trump‘s administration, I believe as education, secretary, to mixed results, unfortunately.
🇦🇺🇺🇸
Lmao grew up as son of a prof and artist while succeeding and playing in the best symphonies on the planet with the IQ to be a scientist going to school part time.
Wow bud, how did you do it being more intelligent then 90% of the planet while living your dreams from childhood in a home full of love.
The better question is how could you NOT be happy with this.
Ridiculous
Right? Lol
@@cw5894 my favorite part before turning it off was hearing him brag about being lower middle class right before he mentions his international travels for vacation as a child. You know, cause thats how everyone in the lower middle class lives, taking sightseeing vacations around the world.
What an absolute joke lol, im surprised he made it on with this complete and utter and trash.
Catholic Church is where you will find all of your happiness 👍
George bush is a great person
I need a car
Tell us how a person that makes 35 - 75k / yr supporting a home & kids have happiness.
Most folks can't afford jitsu classes, going to the beach, and jumping out of balloons.
Regular folks here in USA die not being able to afford Healthcare or in car crashes going to our shit jobs.
Semper Fi
You adjust your goals and change your perspective. I can be happy with my simple life surrounded by good people and family. Be thankful and focus on what you have, not bitter for what you don't. Believe me, lots of people have it worse than we do...From someone who's been through and seen a lot of 💩 BTW: Lots of folks can't afford to buy Jocko's stuff, either, but I get a lot of value from his FREE media presence. 😉
It doesnt matter if i watch 12 hours of baby shark on youtube, if i leave autoplay on, the first video will be your podcast.. how does that work. Im not even subscribed.
Think youll like new covid ..jason..
Normally I like ACB but I think he let his right wing capitalist flag fly since he was on Jocko's pod, had to cut this one short. But do your thing man.
Blah blah blah
Mary can't save you.
Do you know what’s so funny about you guys you speak of honor, but you have to become the very thing that you’re trying to defeat, which in the end defeats the whole purpose depending on your belief
Is this guy also a fan of the Dalai lama missing little boys...
Barfological. Hope you recover from that yawner Jocko
I dont know why, but I genuinely dislike this guy.
And the people who left denmark didnt do it for adventure.. what kind of nonsense is this.. Making the danes sound like a 5 million snooze fest population.. I think most americans would be rather pleased to be "content" if that meant they could live their lives without stressing about rent, food, education, healthcare and so forth..
This is only the 2nd time I've given up on a Jocko interview/podcast, but I just grew weary of this guy.
He probably means well, and certainly has a high opinion of himself, but his constant sucking-up to Jocko, references to "meditations" that sounded more like woo-woo, and he laughable claim that GW Bush was compassionate...some contributions to charity doesn't weigh up for the Patriot Act or the Iraq...debacle. I tried to go further, but then he started to go on about Oprah... Nope, not for me. Seems like he brainwashed his wife too.
Something about this guy doesn’t sit right with me. Is anyone else getting that vibe ?
Can i block a channel on yt This dude keeps showing up and i hate it.
Missing out turd. Jockos wisdom is beyond your comprehension
Friend of Oprah Winfrey? Hard pass on this one, sir
Way to be open minded
@@danielbrown9368...No. Oprah is a dirty word to many people and sometimes "guilt by association" is spot on.
@@danielbrown9368open minded? You mean easily invaded?
@@bardofaceonly the weak minds are easily invaded. Literally the definition of being weak minded. But bravo to your courage in admitting your weakness publicly.
Somehow, some way… I think that despite the Oprah debate, Jocko will still weather the loss of his fans that hate Oprah.
"embrace diversity" no thanks pal, that lingo leads to a slippery slope
How so?
How so?

Sometime around 2008 Jocko started covering up the attack on a political candidate that lived at 1519 s. Elwood Ave Tulsa, ok in 1986
What?
Happiness can’t be “found” because it’s the level of appreciation you have. Looking for the next thing that is going to “make” you happy means you don’t appreciate what you currently have.
