First content of yours I’ve been fortunate to view. Subscription earned. Recognise.

This CD has three separate relaxation/meditation sessions on it kzread.infoUgkxzpa8CIfZcihW4Z0F_ja0QF3W9KIatrsq guided by a very pleasant and direct male voice. Unlike so many other products of its type, this CD does not have bad synthesizer music, does not feature a phony or affected style of narration, and does not make any bogus claims to be subliminal or to re-train the brain or any of that balderdash. What you get is 1. a guided meditation for getting into a pleasantly relaxed state of body awareness while taking a stroll (superb for those easing back into a fitness routine slowly after an illness or injury) 2. A nice long breath-awareness relaxation session that if followed diligently can put you into very deep states of full-body relaxation and mental calmness, and 3. a buddhist-inspired meditation session designed to help you develop and maintain feelings of loving kindness toward not just yourself and your friends, but toward people you don't even like. The CD makes no claims to be designed for advanced meditators or for buddhists or hindus/yoga practitioners looking for very deep and esoteric stuff. It is geared more toward the average person who just wants to develop the habit of relaxation and stress relief through natural, healthy means. him, if you happen to be reading this, keep up the good work fella, and I love your accent. I would also like to note that I have never fallen asleep while listening to this product. I would like to kindly suggest to the reviewer who said this CD makes him fall asleep, that he might want to get checked to see if he has a sleep disorder, or if he is simply not setting aside ample time for restful sleep at night. A healthy person getting adequate rest at night should be able to go into deep states of mental relaxation without dozing off, if not all the time, then most of the time.

One thing I like more so about Steven in all of his interviews on here, he actively listens more than he actually talks himself, patience of a saint, he allows his guest to talk openly for however long it takes without interrupting. Other KZread podcasters and interviewers take note, this is how to do it, make the story about the guest not about you, respect goes a long long way. Great video as always Steven, it goes without saying, still the best interview videos on KZread.

I'm late to his podcasts,this is only the 5th or 6th I've watched but you're right on point,that's what I've taken from the few I've listened to. He obviously does his research and has questions but once the person is there,he sits,listens and just allows them to tell their story for however long or short their answer may be,and doesn't jump from one thing to the next question on a list,he goes with the flow and where that person's mind is,which is pretty refreshing to hear instead of a barrage of questions just for the sake of it. Even when he does bring in something about himself,it's not coz he's wanting to talk about himself,it's coz he's relating and using it gain more insight as well as making the person feel heard and understood which brings out the best in his guests. It's almost like an informative therapy session for us viewers. (Sorry,that was a pretty long-winded way in my own words of saying I agree with you. I'd be a terrible interviewer 🙈)

Love him or hate him, he is true to himself and how many people can say that these days! I refuse to censor myself. I am me and nothing else. I am happy with that even if others are not. I am under no illusions, some people will hate me but my family love who I am and their opinions are the ones that matter to me. Like Lennon once said "Being honest won't get you a lot of friends but it will always get the right ones" Ant, I respect you even though I haven't agreed with all your views. The respect is born out of your unapologetic belief that you are being yourself. Nothing more, nothing less.

I’m really fascinated how the DS’s on SAS show, go from the bombastic discipline to the chat they have with the participants in the dark room. Just a few words really, but they get to a heart of what’s going on and this is so much better than a year of therapy where a person tells you what you want to hear. it makes perfect sense, straightforward honesty, no bullshit. So inspiring.

Wow this hit me hard, got to share “A genius is the man who can do the average thing when everyone else around him is losing his mind.”

Another great podcast, really good to hear this side of Ant and his whole take on recent events

Hi, im 32 years old jist gone and i Lost my mam about 10 month ago, my dad was about 13 year ago. I havnt been doing to well and feeling a but stuck lately, well I say lately, probabley for a few year now if not longer. This has made me think and think about who I really am. I think it's time to get out this "auto pilot" and do something that's out of my comfort zone to really find myself. Cheers both of you this has lifted a weight of my shoulders. I actually feel like I have a bit clarity in my mind just off watching this. 😊

First time watcher. A sign of a great host that allows Ant to be himself, making him feel comfortable enough to be open and honest.

Recently read a book called "the courage to be disliked" it's a game changer and the mindest of Ant is exactly what is said. Follow these prinicples and be happy.

This is amazing! Seeing a totally different side to Ant here and have now bought his books! Well done Steve 👏👏

If you are not on one side, you are bounced to being the other side is one of the most intelligent observations on what is wrong with society today. Huge respect to Ant for saying that.

This type of content is really important. Sometimes we question ourselves so much, and trying to find the answers is so challenging that we put a stop to our journey, giving up too quickly. Being your truest form is something I was so afraid of and now having listened to this podcast along others. Made me realise what I really want to get out of my life.

He is my inspiration. I listen to all his interviews and motivational speeches. Positivety is everything, I agree. Thankyou Ant.

Hi Steven. First time watching one of these since listening to your awesome book. When Ant talked about identifying who he was on the steps of the jobcentre and when he said "if you dont change, nothing will change around you". Hit the nail on the head when he talked about society, comfort and being restrained. So much food for thought. I remember the story in your book about the rats. I totally got what Ant meant by going against the grain of what we are supposed to be and also about the leaves. This was a very interesting chat. Thanks for sharing this!

I praised him for making the Tweets about covid. I never believed in it myself, or wore a mask etc. This video popped up on my phone so had to watch it. Been a big fan of Steven too! Wow! Briliant! I appreciate Ant, Steven, and all of the crew for putting this video together. It is a very inspiring and thought provoking video. I don't care what Ant says....He is definitely spiritual! 😂 Love it! ❤ New subscriber ❤

What a deep conversation, especially the part about spirituality and being connected to everything around us in the universe. Really interesting to listen to!

Took me a little while to warm up to this episode but I'm so glad I stayed.

Wow! Thank you Ant, I cried, I relate to your conversation so much, thank you ❤️🙏

This video was exactly what I needed to watch today. What an amazing podcast.

This relates so much to Internal Family Systems therapy model where so called "demons" are named as exiles. Very often they're repressed emotions, our inner children that simply want out attention, want their pain to be seen and honoured. We can do that with love and compassion so those "demons" can transform to something beautiful. It's best to befriend all our "demons" and help them. We suffer when we try to get rid of them, when we minimase them or pretend they don't exist. Trauma is such an important topic to talk these days. Sadly so many of us avoid talking about it. Would love for Steven to have a podcast with someone like let's say Gabor Mate. There's so much we can learn from pain/trauma and so called "demons".

Steve ,I had no idea who you were until 2 hours ago.I am astonished by the content,and the empathy you display.This was outstanding,your possibly greatest asset is that the show or video is not ego or issue led,you have no agenda as such.You make or direct the content about your guest and only contribute when you have a wothwhile comment to make.You allow your guest to talk,which is so refreshing,it doesn't turn into the "Me,Me,Me Show".You have a new subscriber.Astonishing,thank you,I was entertained,educated ,and best of all you both inspired me to look at things in a different way,which is the whole point of reading,watching and listening to anything,in my opinion.Ten out of ten.

See this as the universe telling you that you need to meet me! Love anyone who seeks to understand themselves to this depth. Inspiring and so interesting.

It is Ant's absolute genuine self that he allows himself to show us; that makes him so accessible, and immediately engaging as a person, and a leader.

I admire anyone prepared to speak about how they feel and what they think....As long as there is no hate or racism in how you express yourself then that’s how you should honour yourself and how we keep debate and freedom of speech alive....Losing your job through fear of a small minority of attention seekers whilst using the power of social media to destroy a person and their career simply isn’t acceptable and WE NEED to STAND UP to it....

I’ve always liked Ant. He’s someone I respect. I’m not saying I’d agree with him on some topics but completely respect him. He’s had his problems including problems with the law but he had a tough upbringing. Losing his father at a young age and gaining an abusive step father. He’s wise, and fought hard
