1
00:00:01,440 --> 00:00:03,320
Speaker 1: And Amanda jam Nation.

2
00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:04,360
Speaker 2: Well our next guest.

3
00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:07,360
Speaker 3: He's been entertaining audiences on stage for years, he said,

4
00:00:07,400 --> 00:00:10,080
Speaker 3: to tour around Australia with a show that takes aim itself,

5
00:00:10,119 --> 00:00:13,480
Speaker 3: helped gurus who failed him in his quest for happiness.

6
00:00:13,520 --> 00:00:16,200
Speaker 3: How uplifting we've spoken to this man. Let's say it

7
00:00:16,280 --> 00:00:19,640
Speaker 3: Lawrence Mooney when he had a book out about the topic.

8
00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:21,439
Speaker 3: And now you're turning it into a stage show.

9
00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:26,000
Speaker 1: Lawrence, Hello, Hello to you, Amanda get A Jonesy, Hello, Sidney.

10
00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:31,600
Speaker 1: I am going on stage. Embracing Limitations was running at

11
00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:35,200
Speaker 1: the festivals earlier in the year, went to Adelaide, Perth, Melbourne.

12
00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:38,919
Speaker 1: So it is a sparkling gem compared to the pearls

13
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:42,640
Speaker 1: before swine that I cast over there. And it is

14
00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:45,879
Speaker 1: all about self help and how it doesn't work. And

15
00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:48,239
Speaker 1: I'll tell you why it doesn't work because of the

16
00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:52,479
Speaker 1: word self. Don't get that person to help you. That

17
00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:58,600
Speaker 1: person is no good. That person got you arrested, fired, addicted, obese.

18
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:01,320
Speaker 1: That person is no good. Ask for help, but not

19
00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:03,080
Speaker 1: from that person, not from the self.

20
00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:05,639
Speaker 4: You're not referring to yourself as this self A I am.

21
00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:09,240
Speaker 1: Thinking I'm not distancing myself from any of those numbers.

22
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:12,160
Speaker 4: Have you noticed those Reddit threads? And they said, I

23
00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:14,360
Speaker 4: ate cheer seeds from it for a year and this

24
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:15,240
Speaker 4: is what I learned.

25
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:18,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, it does well. What normally happens is this is

26
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:20,959
Speaker 1: the pattern. You pick up something or start listening to

27
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:25,320
Speaker 1: something online, you change your behaviors for a couple of weeks,

28
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:27,600
Speaker 1: you give it a lot of lip service. This is amazing,

29
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:29,800
Speaker 1: this is the book that is going to change me.

30
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:33,119
Speaker 1: And then you drop it and return to square one

31
00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:35,120
Speaker 1: with a greater sense of self loathing than if you'd

32
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:40,120
Speaker 1: never started in the first place. I hate myself. But

33
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:42,200
Speaker 1: it all started with Anthony Robbins back in the night,

34
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:46,920
Speaker 1: walking on fire and walking on fire, embracing the power within.

35
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:49,960
Speaker 2: Do you want to take control of your finances and

36
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:51,760
Speaker 2: reinvigorate your sex life?

37
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah I do, Yes, I do, Tony and so

38
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:58,240
Speaker 1: I bought the twelve CDs for three easy payments, and

39
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:00,800
Speaker 1: I don't think i've listened to them all, man, listen

40
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:03,480
Speaker 1: to any I did listen to some, and I was

41
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:05,520
Speaker 1: really into him and it's like, this is a self

42
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:08,359
Speaker 1: made man. I'm going on this journey. And then that

43
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:12,120
Speaker 1: ended up collecting dust, moved onto seven habits of highly

44
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:17,680
Speaker 1: effective people. Don't sweat the small stuff. Latterly the you know,

45
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:20,840
Speaker 1: sacred art or the magic of not giving an f

46
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:24,639
Speaker 1: and of course the power of now by eckart Told.

47
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:28,920
Speaker 2: So e told will tell you that the future is

48
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:33,400
Speaker 2: a construct. It doesn't exist. It's a fantasy, and to

49
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:36,320
Speaker 2: worry about something that doesn't exist is insane.

50
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:41,079
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, Well, if I don't pay Origin energy, they

51
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:43,959
Speaker 1: will cut off my electricity in the future.

52
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:45,079
Speaker 2: So why don't you cut on?

53
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:47,239
Speaker 3: Don't you quote this man to them down the line?

54
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:50,040
Speaker 1: Hello, have you heard of that cart told? Oh, my

55
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:51,280
Speaker 1: phone's not working either.

56
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:54,480
Speaker 4: It's like those sovereign citizens.

57
00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:59,640
Speaker 1: I know that sovereign citizens. I love that I'm not paying.

58
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 4: Rich Joe, I'm paying tax. I'm not doing anything anymore.

59
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:04,000
Speaker 4: And then all of a sudden I got cancer and go, oh,

60
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 4: hang on, just can I get some chemo?

61
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:09,519
Speaker 1: I love the knock on the window from the cop

62
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:12,240
Speaker 1: so can I see your license? I'm not giving you

63
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:15,240
Speaker 1: my license. I'm a sovereign citizen. And then the window

64
00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:17,000
Speaker 1: comes in and they get tased.

65
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:23,920
Speaker 5: It's like, hold on, in my society, there's no tasers.

66
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 5: I love the whole the fracturing of society that is

67
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 5: going on, where people are declaring themselves sovereign citizens. But

68
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:35,880
Speaker 5: also I suppose it talks about the great anxiety to

69
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 5: want an answer, and we all want a silver bullet,

70
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:38,880
Speaker 5: don't we?

71
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:41,200
Speaker 3: But are we looking at our own navels too much?

72
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:43,080
Speaker 3: And of course there are times when we do need help.

73
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:45,920
Speaker 3: But the human condition isn't to be happy every minute

74
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 3: of the day.

75
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 1: No, it's not. And the Brazilians have a great and

76
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:54,440
Speaker 1: yes they were religion before they were a hairstyle. They

77
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 1: were in nationality before they were a hairstyle. The Brazilian

78
00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 1: sage everything will pass in including happiness. So when you're happy,

79
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 1: that too will move on. And be prepared for times

80
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 1: when you're a bit melancholy or feeling a bit down,

81
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 1: and don't necessarily panic about it, because it too will pass.

82
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:12,480
Speaker 1: That's right.

83
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:14,640
Speaker 3: Instead of waking up every day and saying, what mood

84
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:16,760
Speaker 3: am I in today? How am I? Let me look

85
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:18,839
Speaker 3: at myself all day? Let me think about my self

86
00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:20,840
Speaker 3: all date. It's nothing good comes from.

87
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:23,080
Speaker 1: That, no, But if you are a self help addict,

88
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:25,560
Speaker 1: I can help you out straight away because I've read

89
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:30,080
Speaker 1: so much. It's always the same, Calm down, First of all,

90
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 1: stop doing a million things. You've got to calm down.

91
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:36,560
Speaker 3: It's a SENI never tell a woman to calm down.

92
00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:45,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, never say hey, hey, hey, relaxed, that works. No,

93
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:49,559
Speaker 1: So I'm only speaking to men here. Calm down, calm

94
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:53,719
Speaker 1: down and focus. Just one job at a time. That's

95
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:56,159
Speaker 1: all you have to do. And then once you've done

96
00:04:56,200 --> 00:05:01,160
Speaker 1: that small term attainable goals, move on. This doesn't sound

97
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:04,480
Speaker 1: hilariously stand up right now, but when you come to

98
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:08,000
