  3. “It's funny that when I had been thinking about what we spoke about actually. For a while, I wanted to tell you that. Somehow you brought it up today in front of I don't know how many million people. I really, really think of your brilliance. Of There is a different season for you now.

  5. “Why would you say that? Such a tough question after losing so many people this year. I think what I would probably say is I wish Life didn't. Us that So losing Ali, I think Is bigger than both of us. This is difficult when you I think neither of us, despite how well we did in terms of being calm and grateful and peaceful. It was just, it still is the most difficult thing ever. And Nibel is such a beautiful, fragile. I don't know if Fragile is the right word, delicate, maybe. Delicate is the right word. Beautiful soul. I think that gap was so harsh And it's not our choice how life treats us. I would have wished that this had never happened. I would have wished that she had never been subjected to that pay.”

  6. “I always tell her I am the person that I am because of how we started our life together and the years we spent together. And if I'm ungrateful for that, then I truly am the wrong person. I am a bad person. And I ask everyone to think about that. I ask everyone who somehow, even if it was a painful breakup or a painful ending, I ask them to try and say, hey, by the way, I'm grateful for the time that I had you in my life.”

  9. “So a romantic relationship as I write in Finders Keepers is made up of a lot more than love. So there are, you know, I call it the perfect PPRF. So you look for partnership, passion, romance, friendship, companionship, tenderness, or touch and support, right? And all of those things are prerequisites to continue a romantic relationship. If one of them or two of them don't work, the romantic intimate side of the relationship doesn't work. But that doesn't mean that all of the others, the partnership, right, the support, the tenderness, the kindness, it doesn't mean that all of the others have to end. And I think what most people miss is if I can't kiss her anymore for whatever reason, then”

Incredibly wise woman, incredibly wonderful woman. So we're very close. We're in touch all the time. There would rarely be a week that we don't speak.”

  12. “And I always say that if you pre respond to life, life wouldn't need to be harsh. If you change direction or heal and learn before the life finds a reason to force you to nudge you. There wouldn't be harshness. They were wonderful, truly and honestly, the kindest, most beautiful pure people you would ever meet. I mean, they We're all going someday. But when those people leave your life, you suddenly realize in a way that you haven't lived.”

  13. “Talking about Ali dying several times, Sahar dying so suddenly? What are we doing for our lives? Honestly, what are we doing with our lives? Should I have gone to Egypt to see them five times more every year, rather than do five more talks? 100%. Hundred percent It is so clear when you look in hindsight that what we dedicate our life to is not the right object. Does that mean I want to stop one billion happy and spend time with my family? No, I can be so much more effective with one billion happy. I can have this conversation with you, and it reaches millions of people. It's a way of deciding that something else matters than maximizing your impact without a ceiling, maximizing your gain without a ceiling. I think the truth is sadly like Alice writes, you know, life gives you that harshness to teach you to change direction or heal.”

And then, uh, And then beginning of the year he had some kind of a digestive issue, he had a tumor in his somewhere in his digestive system that was actually totally benign, had nothing to do with the cancers, right? But then the stress, his lovely wife, my sister, just collapsed under the stress. And basically I had that heart attack in the intensive care unit of the hospital and we lost. The sweetest human being on the planet. Like, I think that was the biggest shock, Steve. I'll tell you openly. I mean, a couple of three weeks later my brother left too, which, you know, is so interesting because you can imagine that somehow they didn't want to live without each other's. But the thing is that Saharu, my sister-in-law, when she left, I honestly and truly have never been shocked back to reality as much as this.”

  15. “Happened at a very Forty two years together I love her like a sister truly I never had a sister and was it we were not together when so my brother got diagnosed with cancer Back in summer. And actually, one of the Biggest shifts in my life, believe it or not, because I was recording the BBC Maestro training at the time. Very intensive, you know, a big crew. We booked four days to do it or five, I don't remember, but basically, you know, it's important and I'm committed. And then day one I get the news that Ambris is diagnosed with cancer, that it's actually serious, they're going to have a surgery two days later. And yeah, I had to stop and fly to meet him because I actually didn't know if I was going to meet him again. And surgery went well. We started to do immunotherapy because he had multiple cancers that”

  16. “Work stresses you, it's not going to stress you anymore. If you think in the same way or go to the mind gym, as we call it, when thoughts attack you, you're not going to be stressed the same way, right? And I think that's the shift that I keep saying in this conversation is that we're trying to say time, you know, the times we're living are going to become more and more stressful. We might as well prepare. So this is not about you resting. It's about you going to the gym, right? It's about you actually getting fit so that you're capable of carrying the load.”

  17. “The concept of unstressable, I think, is so important to understand that this is not about de-stressing. A lot of the approach to stress is either through Western medicine by saying, okay, you're stressed, let's help you distress a little bit, right? Or through even practice, like, you know, try to meditate so that you calm down or try to relax and walk in nature. That's not the objective. The objective is how can you reconfigure yourself so that stress doesn't reoccur? It's a slightly longer path. So there is nowhere in unstressable where we tell you, well, if you're feeling stressed because of A, B, and C at work, go eat a vegetable and do this and that and you'll feel less stressed. We're constantly telling you if you do this and that.”

  18. “I love the way we wrote it together as well. So we would get together at the beginning of every chapter, regardless of who's writing it and agree sort of the structure. And then, you know, we would edit each other's chapters afterwards. My chapters are really concise and brief bullet points, equations, some logic, that's it. And when I read Alice's work, I go like, Where's she going with this? It's a very different writing style, but from our early readers, the feminine of those who read it just completely registered with it. And the thing is, even I, as I read through, like 70% of the page and I feel something in my heart, not in my head, very, very interesting actually. So it's been a very joyful partnership, I think, for me. And I think complemented the part of me that wouldn't have been written in the book if I wrote it alone.”

  20. “Connection truly and honestly, when we talk about spiritually stressed in the very end of the book, which is a very difficult chapter to explain to people because not everyone is spiritual, right? Spirituality in our description here is, you know, your connection to your non-physical form, right? And it is quite interesting because your non-physical form is not an individual, right? And so accordingly, your connection to the rest of being is so fundamental to feeling safe. As a tribe, believe it or not, humanity did not succeed because we were the most intelligent being on the planet. We succeeded because we could work together. The only true survival instinct in humanity is can I fit within the tribe. You understand? And so that human connection is the ultimate...”

  21. “Yeah, and we do that all the time. We are the only constant. And this is why, I mean, when I was hosting Hannah on my podcast, when she said that, I found myself, I swear I'm not making this up, I found this very clear voice in my head saying, God please make her mine. And for some reason I had that very strong conviction that I need to shape up. I need to step up. She does too, by the way. And everyone always will. We're on that constant journey of improvement. But the interesting turning point is when you take that accountability and you say, no, it's just because of them that I'm failing. By the way, them I'm attracting because who I am. If I work on who I am, and suddenly someone will show up. Than”

And she started to say, you know, we had this argument before we came and I need to understand what he meant by that and so on and so forth. And she was crying. And then she put her head on my shoulder as she was crying. My ex, my girlfriend at the time, walks in, and literally that calm, wonderful, like very calm woman goes like Take your hands off my man you word right and everyone is like what we've never seen her uncon right and you know we sat down and we she was a mature wise woman okay but you're in terms of her you know abilities to understand she said i wasn't triggered just”

  24. “And if you notice that, you need to start to tell yourself, interestingly, then this is my issue, the most interesting part of triggered, the word triggered, is that if an event happens and you get triggered, you're not triggered by the event. You're triggered by the event magnified by the lens of your trauma. So you look at the event, he said or she said, and you look at it through your lens of trauma and translate it into his cheating. I wrote actually an unstressable. I wrote about a relationship with wonderful woman that I had in my life who was quite calm and very, very composed and contented. And we were having friends over, including two of our best friends, a couple. He was one of my best friends. She was one, you know, he was one of her best friends. And his girlfriend was really in our life all the time”

  25. “So Anna and I are working on Finders Keepers finally. I think that's the version that will come out Love and Romance book. I will probably release it as a training first before a book. But anyway, the thing that she talks about is she basically tells you if there is a repetitive behavior in your relationships with different people. That basically means the only constant is you. The trigger of that behavior is you. And so it's so useful for us to look back at relationships and go like, what is my regular behavior?”

  26. “When I created a script, in my brain that said all women are like that strong script for a fact for a fact it's a wrong script, but I convinced myself of it. and then Hannah pops up and says Hey, by the way, what I did yesterday I think that was really not your fault, right? You said this and it triggered me, but it triggered me. She's a therapist, right? It triggered me because my original programming means that when you say this it means that Hey, by the way, you know, it was nice of you to hug me and not get upset about it. Oh my God, I'll keep you forever, right? That's the point is She had to challenge my script. And when those people are constantly moving from one to the next, the script could be, you know, I relationships don't last. I need constant reassurance that I'm desired, you know, to be valued.”

  27. “And tells you, no, that's actually not true at all, right? Your choice then is to tell yourself, I'm wrong and go into the unknown. We said we like familiarity even if it's painful. Your choice is to take that and go into the unknown and say, maybe my script was wrong. Okay. And then you will change only then. An internal job, right? So my challenge was, and I say that with a lot of respect. Not every woman is like that, but the women that showed up in my life didn't take accountability. In my very highly engineered approach to life in general, to logic in general, I don't mind if someone does something that hurts me. I just want them to wake up the next morning and say, you didn't deserve that. Right?”

  28. “No, no, no, no, no, no. So I think, again, so one of the things that Hannah teaches me from therapy is that we run on scripts. So you come to this world with a perfectly balanced machine. And then you get conditioned into scripts. Those scripts become your narrative, your lens through which you see the word. And if you come from a family that is avoidant, attachment avoidant, you'll think that this is the way relationships are. If you as a child was not given attention, for example, you think that love doesn't exist or that love is conditional. And you take those scripts and you believe them fully. You believe them fully. You look through the lens of the world and believe them fully until someone shows up.”

So when I knew what I wanted in a woman, the possibility of finding that woman was one in eight million seven hundred thirty seven thousand women. Mathematically, you can easily calculate that if you want something in someone that is one available in one in ten and something else that's available in one in five, you're now looking at one in fifty, right? If another thing that's available in one in 20, you're looking in one in a thousand, right? And the mathematics are very straightforward. You find someone that actually is one in eight, seven hundred and thirty seven thousand, you go like, okay, I'm buying that stock. And I have been the happiest person, truly an honest, she listens to my podcast, so she probably will listen.”

  36. “Yeah, I know it sounds crazy, right? But because we decided to do that, at the time, by the way, I had been so through so many such challenging relationships because they didn't fit me, that I decided I will never again touch a woman unless I am absolutely certain I wouldn't leave in the first six months. Not a big target when you really think about it, okay? But my thinking process was if I'm not certain that it will last six months, I'm not going to start. But if it lasts six months it should last a lot longer.”

So, anyway, I'm sitting there for an hour and a half in front of that woman, and everything she says is like, oh my God, that's exactly everything I have noticed within me notice. The first thing she says is she says, we date our potential. We date them thinking they can make us better. Okay, they can't. The only way you can become better is for you to work on who you are. And if you're ready, then love will be very easy. Right? So I basically find someone, the jackpot, for me who, after all of the work I've done in my life, knowing exactly what I want and what I don't want. I meet someone that actually fits.”

And I'm like, I don't know. How do I know you? And she said, no, you don't know me. Follow your work. I'm a friend of your friend's.”

  41. “The challenge of the commute a little bit. Can I find that gratitude practice that says at least my kids are still going to school? Because by the way, if you do those things, it's not going to take away the harshness of life, but it's going to ease it. And as you ease it, you're not going to be unstressed. You're going to be less stressed. Less stressed is better than more stressed.”

This is why I tell you, look, it is it is so entitled to sit here and talk about the problems of billionaires and the problem of problems of technology and all of the progress and so on. When we forget that many of us are working two jobs and struggling with a relationship and stuck in long commutes and so on. And I wish that life is easier for them. I really in my heart do. But if it isn't because the external harshness of life is not within our control, the way we deal with it is within our control. Okay? The way we deal with it is, you know, even if it's the tiniest things, like I'm working in the factory and it's such a horrible job, can I spend my break at the factory with my best friend? Okay, can I try to ease the...”

  44. “I normally say assume they're going to die. And go live your life loving them Them all the love that you can. If you have someone that you're worried is going to leave my mom fell right and she's now better but it took such a long time. I could have spent that time in my head saying that I'm going to lose her. Or I could fly to Cairo sit next to her and say I love you very much turned the worry into certainty whether that's the best certainty or the worst certainty. Okay, but then react to the certainty and she's recovering and I hope she will be running marathons, I hope. But for that moment in time, instead of worrying about the certainty, putting my brain cycles into worry. Okay? I just assumed what would happen if I don't see her again. Fly, go see her, stop your meetings, stop your this, go. Poor love on her”

  46. “Anxious is different. Anxiety is very different. Anxiety is actually your inability to deal with the threat. So you basically tell yourself, I have to report to my manager on Thursday about this deal, okay? And I don't have any ability to actually prepare the report. I'm not skilled enough, right? And again, if you deal with it as fear, I'm afraid to meet my manager. You're going to try to not meet your manager. If you deal with the reality of anxiety is it's my ability that is the issue. You're going to try to increase your ability. You're going to try to get someone to help you maybe that has the skill. If you're struggling with a bit of the finance in the middle, you're going to talk to your friend or, you know, at work who's capable of helping you with the spreadsheet, whatever. So you handle your abilities. Panic is different. Panic is a question of time. So fear is a question of a challenge.”

  47. “When you're afraid you try to limit the challenge or limit the threat, you think in your head about, okay, you know, if there is something that is going to be difficult, I'm going to lose my job in a year's time. You're going to try to save now. Interesting. Fear is not the tricky one. The tricky ones are the derivatives, worry, anxiety, and panic. Okay? Worry is I don't know if I'm going to lose my job in a year. I don't. It's not like I got a letter that says I'm going to lose my job in a year. And so you keep spending your cycles trying to save as if you're going to lose it, but that's not the right reaction. The right reaction is to verify if there is a reason to be afraid or not. Right? So if you're worried, your reaction shouldn't be the reaction of a person who's afraid. Your reaction should be I either need to decide, should I be afraid or should I drop this?”

  49. “Take a simple example a simple example is if you're stuck in a factory job, your life is harsh today. If you add to it an obsession that my life will always be harsh, you're more stressed because of the obsession, not because of the harshness of life. If you tell yourself I am working day and night to feed my kids. But then add to yourself and say, the world is going to become much more difficult and my kids were starved. You created that stress. Okay? We didn't talk about one of my favorite parts of the book is what I call anticipation of stress. Okay? So we said you break down under trauma, you break down under burnout, and you break down under anticipation of threats and challenges.”

  50. “That was my objective. And the ones that will not think that way, that will be because they believe that their life circumstances, the events, are making them stressed, which is true. But it's not only the events of your life that stress you, it's the way you deal with them that does the equation is the event, the challenge divided by your resources, your abilities, your square area, like physics. Give more square area to carry the load and you'll be able to do it. So it's not the events. If you invest in your abilities, you will be less stressed. There will never be a time in your life when you'll not be stressed at all. But you can definitely reduce it significantly.”
