Hello,

This week's edition will discuss pursuing a valuable goal, comedy, and sacrifice.

People experience positive emotion in relation to the pursuit of a valuable goal.

Imagine you have a goal. You aim at something. You develop a strategy in relation to that aim, and then you implement it. And then, as you implement the strategy, you observe that it is working.

That is what produces the most reliable positive emotion.

“Love is the desire to see unnecessary suffering ameliorated." (Share this on Twitter)

Carr On Comedy | Jimmy Carr |  The Jordan B. Peterson Podcast | #233

This episode was recorded on February 11, 2022.

Jimmy Carr is an award-winning comedian, author, and TV host. Carr recently came under fire for the career-enders subsection in His Dark Material, a Netflix special that’s deemed “deeply offensive” or “faithful to its title,” depending on who you ask. Carr’s latest book, Before & Laughter, is part memoir, part life advice, and mostly funny. 

We had a stimulating conversation about human nature, comedy and the physiology of laughter, experiencing jokes, half-filled rooms, truth, growth, self-deprecation, love languages, religion, and the 15’ replica of his head, to name a few.
