#141 Tim Minchin’s 9 Life Lessons | Humour, Humility & Thinking for Yourself (Coffee Chat)

I’ve always loved how humour can sometimes tell the truth better than anything else, and Tim Minchin does exactly that in his now-famous “9 Life Lessons” talk: funny, sharp, and quietly profound.In this relaxed coffee chat, Brice, from  @EsotericAtlanta, and I, walk through each lesson and explore what they actually look like in real life… not just as quotes on a screen, but in how we think, move, work, parent, care for our bodies, and treat other people.It’s less “self-help”... more common sense.Less chasing happiness… more building meaning.Less clinging to opinions… more learning how to think clearly.We talk about:• Why you don’t need one giant “dream” to have a good life• The difference between happiness and meaning• Humility (and remembering how much of life is luck)• Moving your body so your mind can follow• Being willing to question your own beliefs• Teaching and sharing without ego• Defining yourself by what you love — not just what you’re against• Slowing down and actually enjoying the ride⚠️ We discuss the ideas only,  we don’t play the original clip here (copyright).If you haven’t seen Tim’s talk yet, it’s worth a watch:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZpMYK1RXDNg———————————————— Connect with Brice:YouTube:  @EsotericAtlanta   Substack: esotericatlanta.substack.comTo Join Fusion Body Studio : https://www.fusionbodystudio.com/link/uVL20b Use code CATHERINE5 for 20% offMastering Stress & Resetting Your Nervous System (online course).
