Loved this episode! She’s inspiring and funny and honest.

This show just keeps getting better, it’s been interesting and enlightening to follow your own journey also. I especially love the episodes featuring female guests, I’ve gone back and listened to them all.

Thank you for your great work and for your contribution to the world!

I have bilateral quad tendon ruptures. Who are the top practitioners that have advanced methods of treatment for rehab and recovery?

In reply to Gerard. Thanks Gerard. I wasn't aware about this part of her story. Although, yeah as the other commenter here notes, Iraq is another major blot on her resume.

I love this interview in so many ways. I live now in Prague where Mrs Albright was born.

Something interesting I was thinking about was the power of the nature over nurture and the other way around. Her father was a diplomat, and she was exposed to this environment as an early child.

What would have happened if her father was a carpenter?

Would she still choose a similar path or would she had persuaded something else?
Also, how the women were perceived back in the days.

Comment not about the Albright podcast (which is great) but of gratitude for the 5 Bullet Friday emails. Subscribed to them earlier this year and I look forward to them every week. The James Baldwin quote this week was particularly perfect. Thanks so much for the thought and energy that goes into 5 Bullet Fridays (and all your work). Peace!

In reply to julia. Hi Julia, your comment moved me to suggest that you consider whether or not you're in the thrall of something, and if you can step back and decide whether or not you want to be in that thrall. It also moved to me to suggest that intergenerational well-being has some elements in its foundation that you might want to consider: Learning from observation (kind of the inverse of leadership), humility (because without it, elders lose respect), and the kind of authority and respect that comes from experience and knowledge rather than fear and power. Individualist values (you could also look up egoism) may be the connector between intergenerational well-being and resilience that you've been trying to put your finger on.

In reply to Jordan. Links tend to get removed, so leaving a few keywords is a good strategy. In this case, just search "Iraq Albright" (without any quotation marks) and you'll find loads of info.

Today in your five bullet Friday email you wrote: What I’m reading —
“James Baldwin, The Art of Fiction No. 78” from the Paris Review, Issue 91, it’s not an easy read…. The subject matter can be hard, and on top of that, you’ll need to get through language…

I am curious to know if you have tried to get through Mason & Dixon by Thomas Pynchon and your thoughts on it? I have made it through a fraction of that voluminous book – its tough but beautiful – like poetry.

Thank you for all you do – I have been moved by many of your podcasts like the latest one with Ed Norton and your suicide podcast as well.

Hi Tim, I read your book (The 4 hour body) and since that I’m really interested in slow-carb diet. There are so many examples of people which lost many kg thanks to that diet, but little scientific articles (and non about Your specific diet with all habits and routines You have mentioned in the book). Nowadays, there are some many different diets and everyone is relaying on photos “before and after”, like it was enough to decide whether the diet is healthy for someone’s organism. I’m curious about everything you wrote in the book and I’m even more curious about how it biologically and chemically acts on human body. That’s why I want to ask or maybe suggest further studies about Your diet. It would be greatly appreciated by me and many young dietetic students, who are thirst for knowledge. I wish there was more scientific articles than pseudo dietetics all over internet. I think You have great possibilities to start and make someone start such studies.

Anyway, thank You for sharing Your experience.
