Feel Better, Live More with Dr Rangan Chatterjee - #327 Rick Rubin On Creativity, Authenticity & Living A Meaningful Life

This week’s guest is regarded as one of the all-time music greats. Named on Time magazine’s list of the ‘100 most influential people in the world’, he is none other than the legendary record producer, Mr Rick Rubin. Whether you know the name Rick Rubin or not - it is almost certain that the music he has been involved with making has made its way into your life at various points. Having worked with a huge variety of different artists in very different genres - Tom Petty, Beastie Boys, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Adele, Johnny Cash, Jay Z, Neil Young - to name just a few, he is one of the most celebrated record producers of all time.

They talk about applying the artistic philosophy to life, embracing imperfection and many more interesting topics. This podcast covers a wide variety of topics but is a captivating listen from start to end.

This YouTube video from the Sorted Food channel is an interesting example of how AI can make cooking easier. ChatGPT is given four random ingredients and is tasked with providing a recipe that will be made by the Sorted Food Home Chefs. The results are surprising.

A powerful video I came across from Dr Chatterjee's weekly newsletter. It's a short but powerful video demonstrating how small talk can make a huge difference to someone struggling with their mental health.
