I could listen to Anne Lamott speak FOR-EVER !!!

This interview got me to go to my first AA meeting. I can't thank you both enough for this.

🐦🐦🐦 Anne is a lighthouse. Her books are conversations, prayers, and stand-up comedy in one go.

Exactly! I wanted her audiobooks along on several long road trips. Laughing out loud alone in my car is happiness.

I remember reading bird by bird. It helped me push myself to write one shitty blog after another but I eventually stopped writing when I picked up drawing. This podcast makes me want to go back to writing. Not to be a best selling author or anything but at least journaling my thoughts and feelings. It’s comforting to write to myself by myself.

I must have repressed anxiety, for to think of journaling is anything but comforting.

She is one of my favorite humans ever. What a beautiful interview. So much goodness in here.

A great writer and a wonderful person!

Oh my goodness she is a treasure. She speaks so beautifully and is so funny in the best moments, she makes life seem less scary.

Holy shit! I have probably listened to almost every one of Tim's podcasts... a list of incredible folks and inspiration. And as a recovering addict, and artist myself, this beautiful woman speaks directly into my soul. Simply put, thank you Anne for being you and most importantly, your candor, humility, kindness, and complete vulnerability.

Interesting and funny, and true.

Best interview I’ve heard in so long. She is a delight but even more-her wisdom is freeing.

i totally agree

As a black woman, she is the best therapist a black woman never has.

This is one one the greatest podcasts of all time. Not just the best that Tim has done. The best of all time. For people living a normal life, dealing with issues we can all deal with at any time based on our genetics, parents, life experience, etc, the points on spiritual wd40, pinballing in our mind, birds, dark nights, and everything else they talk about, this was very cathartic and helpful to listen to.

OMG, this woman is so wonderfully and beautifully kooky, I love her so much. She is so wise and funny and comforting and sweet. I love that you can feel that she has really struggled. It's people like that that I can really listen to and except their wisdom because I can feel so much that they have really been through hell.

I come back to this interview all the time because it is so insightful (and reassuring). I love hearing Anne‘s perspective! Great show, Tim. 🫡

"How alive am I willing to be?" I'll have to sit with that one for a bit.

I have adored Anne since I found her in college, and now I like you more for inviting her on your show. Humble, authentic, honest, raw, and perfectly imperfect. 🥰

This is one of the best podcasts I have heard in recent memory. Energetically opposite of many others. Lifted me straight up.

Fuck. This is astonishingly good! Now I have to read everything she's ever written. :D Thank you both for one of the best interviews ever

Bless you Anne Lamott.. A true Essence of the power of the humane Spirt !! Wow !!! Great Interview TF

Those RULES!!! Omg I learned so much in those few minutes

This woman is incredible and kudos to Tim for having her as a guest! I can’t wait to order this book and read. She’s had such a journey.

She's totally unapologetically neurotic and it's great! Love her so much.

Wonderful interview. Deeply heartfelt and sincere. Thank you for your courage to state what it really comes down to .& for your sense of humor. You are Definitely one of my favorite humans. Anne You are making the world a better place being who you are and dong what you do.. & thank you Tim Ferris !

Love the raw honesty. I feel her so much. She talks about the healing that comes from crying and it is something that I’m no longer ashamed to do myself.

Thank you, Anne Lamott, for your honesty and compassion.

listening again for probably the sixth time.. so good!

One of my all time fave writers. Bird by Bird is the Best! How does she makes us all feel like she wrote that one just for us? Great interview Tim, was so happily surprised to see her on your show and hear your story about Bird by Bird and your first book--wonderful story!

I’ve listened to her and Tim do this podcast at least 5 times. She is so wise and fun to listen to.

a flow of goodness, generosity and love

I've listened to this three times, don't remember the last time I did that with a podcast

Hats off to this brave, wonderful lady!

What a great woman!

I've been wanting to say this since 20 minutes into the interview, I was going to wait until the end however I have listened to many of Anne Lamont's interviews and by far in this one you are expressing so many beautiful, balls out, soulful, heartfelt, meaningful expressions of honesty that I have yet to resonate with. To say this is one of the best interviews I have ever heard is an understatement. It is so influential. Thank you thank you & bless you not for only who you are but your willingness to share it. ♥️🙏♥️

I watched this episode and I'm definitely not the person I was before this episode.. she is a truly wise human being and brave soul 💗 thaank you tim and anne💗

In a word: beautiful. Thanks so much for making this happen!

So many nuggets in this podcast! Thanks. Both of you.

What an incredible woman! Thank you for this great interview Tim.

thank you Tim for having such amazing guests, especially Anne Lamott

I remember a long long time ago - I listened to a talk about one of her books... I had found her on the Free Library of Philadelphia's web site. She was so so so very funny and witty. a little informal... she was talking about how much she hated George Bush... ( Which - I didn't really agree with ) But - she is so funny... and very down to earth. She very often speaks in ways that goes straight for my heart - in good ways. I always learn from her. Always.

I'm back...still people-pleasing and dark-nighting. The death of my younger brother has shaken my world. I'm still here... Thankful that I landed on this interview again. ❤

F* MasterClass on Living Life. Always deeply respected (and astonished by) Anne. Always deeply respected (and astonished by) Tim. Together here? No words...Okay, words...if you can absorb the wisdom in this podcast, you're okay. You're all good.

So delightful! Took a ton of notes myself. Thank you both!

This podcast is amazing. Thank you. Words cannot express how much her insights into all her quote "issues".....have given me more creative heartfelt REAL ways to frame the child within me that God made so lovely....to help me keep inviting those quirkies to the table for soup...and ......have a freaking freeing good time together ❤️ the way she calls laughter....I will be listening again. I love woman and her gift of being so dang real!!!

This had some great one-liners and reflections..and I thank you both for candid responses and the more you revealed about each other the more real and valuable the content became.

This was beautiful and so beneficial. Thank you both. 🌟

So much wisdom and laugh out loud lines. The was the best time I’ve ever had washing dishes on a Friday night.

Excellent. What a refreshing take on life and its foibles and fables.

She reminds me of someone I met in recovery and I asked her to use her temporary passive agressive quiet streak to allow osmosis in recovery so that the beauty and friendship and love would naturally flower without interference. And she told me later she was grateful because it took a load off her shoulders and allowed the beauty of just being human in recovery so that it wasn't just a cult of mindless intervention in the lives of others who don't necessary need their help.

Me too! I’m gonna read bird by bird too! Thank you Anne!

Thank you both.

"You can tell you've created God in your own image when he hates all the same people you do." 50:38 -- quote by her friend Tom Weston. Man, that nails America.

So grateful for this episode 👍🏼❤️

That was wonderful-thank you!

What an interview! As a recovering woman addict (of course, I was never an "addict", I was a "user" not a "abuser" - ha!). Recently started writing, just bought the book and now the interview. There are no coincidences and I thank you both so deeply. Thank you!

"Horrible Bonnie" about 1:28, really really good:)

This is so wonderful! I thoroughly enjoyed it. Thank you. ❤

"I have a disease of good ideas, usually for other people." If you want to know the thinking behind addiction, that pretty much sums it up.

This podcast was fabulous! What a turn on!

LOVED this so much! Thank you!

Collateral beauty Love this talk xx So much honesty, truth, love ❤ grace,and optimistim xxx

Great podcast Tim, much-respect

Thank you for this 💗🙏

Bird by bird keep it simple, what a great read thankyou.

How can I do life more perfectly so others will like me … pure truth 💚

Thank you for sharing the fascinating conversations you have with those magical, creative people. By following you, and listening to them, I learn so much .. I keep looking for more of what they have to say. Thanks a million 🧡

I loveeeeee this episode.

nutritionally rich diet and learning how to emotionally self partner and how to calm triggers is essential. we must realize that biochemical imbalance causing anxiety is unproven. there are NO lab tests showing any specific chemical that is out of balance that is causing anxiety. out of controll emotional triggers definitely change hormonal levels but allopathic medicine treating psychological issues is all on guesswork. there are natural methods that cure. that you so much for this wonderfull interview. Anne Lamott is an inspiration as are you Tim

She's just magic.

Thank you 🙏

She's hilarious! I love speakers that aren't all fluff!!

I'm so glad I listened to this.

omg amazing.

Tim, what a sweetheart you are. I will check out Sams podcast!

Omg I love her ❤❤❤❤❤❤

This was amazing. Thankful 🤍🙏

This woman must be protected at all costs.

1:04:18 "nobody cares if you or I ever write again" haha

Thank you 🙌🏿

Ooooh this was so good and juicy! Like McDonalds - soooo many good nuggets! Thank you!👍🏽

Looooooove her. Love her.

What a cool humble authentic lady…as an exec coach I found this complete SOUL FOOD- thank you both x

The first thoughts that came to me when she asked how to get out of her own way of the real writing inside, my first thought that came from tracing my own thoughts is that theres a difference between wanting to feel important and wanting to write good writing. And that means connecting to reality through experience rather than the opinions of others and then one can create a dialogue with reality through experience. My second question is the manipulating of fears of others through writing driven by envy because of they're engagement with reality and the alcoholic upbringing that separated her from that?

Indifference isn't the opposite of love because sometimes indifference is an expression of love.

Bird by Bird changed my life. Could still use a writing coach though.

I love listening to you Anne and I will work at letting me feel, and cry. I love your expression of the mind and how it controls you. You live so close to Byron Katie in Ojai. If you have not met her and I cannot believe you haven't encountered her Work or The Work. In my helping self, please check her out. She would be honored to know you. It would be reciprocating. Love Rhonda

❤❤❤

Loved this ❤️ Thank you for introducing me to Anne!

Anne and Tim? God you have a sense of humour!!! Fine, I will complete YOUR BOOK!!! WOW!☀️ “Grace meets you where you are but doesn’t leave you there.” A.L. Thank you God for redirecting that card! One day I left with two toddlers and THE FOUR HOUR WORKWEEK 😊

Every time I think that I am the only one dealing with what I am dealing with I’m reminded that there are so many people out there that have not only survived similar things, but are thriving. Thank you so much for introducing me to her 🙏🏼❤️

PLEASE ADD TIMELINE

Tim bit off topic but you seem knowledgeable in Nutrition what diet would u recommend someone living with heart disease?

I've sometimes wondered if the Lestat story of being a minor noble who was forced to be a vampire is actually a lie and that he's really Louis XIV and is so comforting in America right now because Versailles is in all the antique stores.

Yes she is an inspiration; this helped me understand why she’s very pro vaccine as it may help her feel safe but it’s unfortunate she called those who have their reasons for not getting the shot, unreasonable: they are not unreasonable, maybe that was her anxiety talking, she may regret saying that, hopefully, cause she is much better than that!

I still don’t understand all the fairfax liberal non-gmo old school hippies lining up for the expiramental jabs in droves. Talk about fear Not the Marin I knew. Here’s an old saying…. My body my choice And sorry not “safe and effective” Look at all the SD stories

2'2'', "return the advance"?? I thought the 4HWW had been rejected by dozens of publishers AFTER it was written....

Mr. Ferris you kinda looked like the Vampire Lestat and there is no origin based on personality only origin based on a person's adaptation to an impersonal reality and if that adaptation is successful there's an ethical reason for that success. Looking for that adaptation and the reason for it instead of some spiritual origin is the way out of that. As a clue the more I've eaten fried chicken the more adaptive and aware I am in new environments. That affirmation of meaninglessness made me more aware and respectful to other human beings.

I’m not a germ 🦠!! 🤨. 😭😭😭😅😅😅😅

For me, the inner critic is easily silenced by remember ‘the voice of God is silent’ (generally speaking in the Bible) and like Tolstoy says the kingdom of God is within you. So inner voices that are truly your own are mostly of not always not speaking to you in a voice kind of way. That is an ‘interject’- a past bully. A narcissist. I immediately separate it out- ask Scooby Doo style- who are you??!! I demand it. The voice always slinks away like the evil it is. ❤

Good talk. Makes me sad that she turned her back on family because they struggled with addiction though.
