On May 22, Professor Scott Galloway discussed his new book, The Algebra of Happiness, with Stephanie Ruhle, MSNBC anchor and NBC News correspondent.
57:04: “Society has become less reliant on religion… and we still need super beings… it’s so obvious that we need more engaged fathers, not a better fucking phone” Only Scott could deliver a Nietzschian observation like that so eloquently. Amazing lecture here 👏🏼
I forgot how adults actually talk! Thanks for the reminder!
are you talking about the Dog?
@@JameBlack I do not follow, if the Dog is a cultural reference I do not know it !
@@gorgeuos ok, then you know nothing about professor, you should listen to his podcasts.
@@JameBlack thanks, i will, he was a joy to listen so far!
@@JameBlack you're supposed to study the teaching, not the teacher.
I really appreciate the honesty, effort and forthrightness from both speakers ... having content like this free on You Tube is unbelievable in contrast to what was available when I was growing up in the 1950’s.
I'm guessing it was cold war propaganda
Great response. I can't even imagine the contrast. I agree that both speakers were impressive and appreciated the disagreeableness of the interviewer.
Honesty? come on get real
I believe it. So why aren't we getting smarter here in the US ? All of this great information is out there for free.
@@lilmoe4364 I came of age when the Internet was starting to become very popular but I remember even when I got my 28 kB per second dial up connection, thinking that the Internet would make the world more peaceful because people could see that others were not that different, it would make us smarter, because the bad ideas would be filtered out, and the good ideas would rise to the top end with democratize information, and most likely societies. This hasn’t happened because of the incentives unfortunately but I still hope. Most don’t want to learn and grow though
He is spot on "take on risks of meeting other, new people"
At my age I've watched the ENTIRE evolution of the personal computer/cell phone/internet scocial development. After a few years on FB, Instagram, et al I DID realize my life was cleaner, clearer and productive WITHOUT it ( barring research!) and I closed my accounts. I dont think today's kids never raised without social media could possibly have that insight. Now IT NEEDS TO BE TAUGHT. And how are we gonna do that?❤
Perhaps it goes back to the"sanitary-wiping" Prof Scott was talking about..., i.e., this is their (the youth) problem to recognize and solve.
the kids in the room are very lucky to be there. I wish i heard these things in my 20s.
I’m impressed that the MSNBC host didn’t bring an MSNBC vibe!
no one can touch Stephanie when it comes to being a bad ass. That's why she's not on prime time she's too good.
This was a very New York conversation
Galloway speaks from an impressively objective way of thinking and a resilient tolerance for failure. He openly gives and shares his experience, best trait for a teacher.
This is true, one of the things that I remember most from school is when teachers talked about their own experiences
Wow - a real & honest conversation about important issues by 2 people being real & honest. Thanks to Scott & Stephanie! 😮
This is one of the best interviews I've ever seen. I love Scott's perspective, and willingness to state the truth even when it's not pleasant to hear.
I agree one of the best I've ever seen.
I so agree, such a good interviewer n such a well researched author with his own wisdom n life experiences, brutal but honesty in his delivery - loved it n will return to it time n again - thank you all
this guy has no clue what he's talking about... Scott points out how broken everything is and then his solution is to just do the exact same thing but do it harder. Go to the university you can't afford in a city that's too expensive and sacrifice your relationships to make more money. "It cost me my hair and my marriage.... and it was worth it." Out of touch much? Imagine having a wife/husband and telling them you're going to concentrate on your own well being so much that you're going to get divorced, but it'll be OK cause in 15 years you'll be financially afloat.
@@oscarinacan Danny, I hear you. When you put it that way, you are absolutely right. I never would have told my wife 15 years ago that she and my kids would have to fend for themselves . . because I was going to concentrate on me. What Scott is suggesting is exactly the kind of narcissism that he rails against all the time.
I could listen to Scott all day. He's one of our best and brightest who pushes Americans forward. You just have to act on his knowledge
Don't agree with a lot of it, but it is worth reflecting on it. Great conversation
Probably the most positive comment section I’ve ever scrolled through on KZhead.
Let me bring it down a little closer to reality then. Take off those rose colored glasses he has you put on. this guy has no clue what he's talking about...

@@oscarinacan Let’s just start with the fact that he’s in the 1% telling younger future 1%ers what to do where they’d be fine regardless. I’d love to hear him try to give this talk to the 90% of younger people who can’t live without a roommate, will never be able to afford a house and are making ramen for dinner.
One of the most engaging people around. I saw a TV interview recently. His ideas and casual knowledge blew me away. He's an incredible thinker, worthy of attention.
A lot of the talk goes into hyperboles, genralisations, and stuff you've heard a million times from everywhere else but hidden amongst all that are some gems. 1. Myth of finding your passion @ 21:54 - 24:02 2. Young men are failing @ 36:13 - 37:38 3. Glorifying assholes @ 56:30 - 57:27 4. Happiness globally @ 1:02:09 - 1:06:24 5. Universities failing their responsibility @ 1:07:19 - 1:08:20 6. Men showing affection @ 1:12:15 - 1:14:45 7. Masculinity can be a good thing @ 1:14:47 - 1:18:53
Great summary from an otherwise very long interview!
Damn, thank you for the outine!
Galloway is a really smart guy and she seems actually interested. And I love her voice!

An AMAZING speaker! One of the many notable quotes is, “We need more engaged fathers, not a better fuc*ing father.” My hat's off to you, sir.
Letters to Daughters «we need more engaged fathers, not a better fuc*king father» Hahaha good one!
*“We need more engaged fathers, not a better fuc*ing **phone.**”

As mentioned already, think you misquoted him. He said phone at the end

He preaches about sacrificing relationships for his own wellbeing. Father of the year material
Happiness is a side effect of living one's life according to one's values.
I like how Stephanie challenged him. And she really had some good points almost or outright in a way calling bull on some of his idea’s. To me he is a rich man that like he said won the lottery in life in how he was born, telling alot of people that did not win that lottery, how they should live, and a formula that just is not going to work for a-lot of people. To me Stephanie is wonderful she has empathy and seems to be able to put herself in someone else’s shoes.
I do believe despite the unpredictable nature of all of us, this conversation makes me enormously happy. Thank you so much.
I love Scott Galloway. I wish I had listened to, and understood this, 20 years ago.
Young men need to evolve beyond 1950s. Women are successful mostly out of necessity.
"The relationship between money and happiness. Middle class people are happier than poor people, and affluent people are happier than middle class people" This is very American view of Happiness, I'v living in the states for the past 40 years (Came from Israel in the 80s). I met my wife in Jamaica, 17 years ago, she came from a very poor family. When I first met her family the impression I got was, that they are way happier than many people I know, why? Cause of the strong family bond. Lots of kids around, lots of get together, and lots of support. That what make them happier. Money has no relevance.
Very smart questions by Stephanie.
Truly wise words.. I love Scott.. he is a great mind for us in this world!
I always like Stephanie who is intelligent while down to earth.
"Mourn and move on" powerful words to live by!
'Mourn and move on' the worst comment one can make to people who have suffered loss.
@@derekarnold3665 I’ve lost many people close to me including my youngest child and my mother. It’s sound advice. Some people mourn for so long that they forget weeping is temporary. “Mourn and move on” is actually very freeing because it gives you permission to move away from the sadness. I think some people feel guilty for wanting to be happy again.
@@Yaya-cl3tu I am sorry to hear of your loss. I also had similar experiences, losing both my wife recently and young son some years back. We are all different in terms of how we grief and mourn the loss of our love ones. I don't think I need anyones advice on how to grief, it's a personal matter. So do whatever you feel is best for you.
Jobs I've had: Newspaper route, summer labor (High School), lifeguard, server, call center rep (surveys), graphic designer, store supervisor, employment consultant. Age 57. Try anything, do anything. If you're unsatisfied, plan and execute before you quit.
I come back to watch this every year. I also read his book every year at least once. One thing that The Dog doesn’t fully capture is removing toxicity. He partially captures removing toxic habits (like smoking or watching too much TV) but doesn’t cover removing toxic relationships. Still really admire the book and his notes.
True, but that's a whole other field with plenty of literature on it
No matter where I go, there I am.
I really enjoy listening to him. So insightful at issue spotting.
FABULOUS! THANKS
She's one of the best interviewers I've seen. She asks great questions
The Dawg Rhules! Wait.. did I spell that right?
Stephanie has been great for years
I waited a week after finals to be a part of this! Thanks for uploading.
I am the MOST critical person on earth, i have issues with a lot of who many people would count as heroes. BUT this lecture was more than awesome, not only from the great Professor but also from Stephanie. I gained a HUGE respect for her and her profession after moderating this event just masterfully with intelligence and incredible thought provoking and challenging questions. KUDOS to you two wonderful people. (I can't believe I wrote this...never did this before),
Well said. I’m glad you decided to write. My thoughts precisely.
Sorry, I've taken your title 😅
Been following Scott for a couple years now. His speeches and videos are always a great motivation.
Do what you love, live where you love, and don’t give up the first two to share it with the one you love. No hurry for #3.
Stephania .... again.. brilliant questions ... Scott.. Love is Happiness... simple .
My life as a stay at home parent is difficult because of my reduced wealth. However, the sheer scope of the happiness in my life as a direct result of being completely available for my daughter and her upbringing far exceeds the materialistic "happiness" I experienced before she came into the world. Sure it would be nice to take amazing vacations and buy expensive things. But, the tiny amount of time I have with her is irreplaceable and more important than any car or vacation.
Scott: "What are your goals? In 20 years I want to have successful relationships, I want to be relevant professionally, I want to be healthy, I want to have people who love me, I want to love others. Almost all of you will achieve those things.... I bet at a certain level most of the people in this room will have those things." Stephanie: "Will they FEEL that they have those things?"
this guy has no clue what he's talking about... Scott points out how broken everything is and then his solution is to just do the exact same thing but do it harder. Go to the university you can't afford in a city that's too expensive and sacrifice your relationships to make more money. "It cost me my hair and my marriage.... and it was worth it." Out of touch much? Imagine having a wife/husband and telling them you're going to concentrate on your own well being so much that you're going to get divorced, but it'll be OK cause in 15 years you'll be financially afloat. Yea, Scott is so relationship oriented.
@@oscarinacan What I thought most interesting is that our level of happiness returns after trauma (lottery, accident) and is deeply enhanced by gratitude. I heard "try something you wouldn't ordinarily try", not try harder doing the same thing. To my ears it was "outside your comfort zone". I heard that discipline is essential, and that drugs, alcohol, other substances and expectations interfere with success. I heard that failure doesn't define us, that we don't give up and that change is certain. I heard that comparing and social media can be destructive; that health is important; that forgiveness is necessary in relationships. I heard that 7 out of 10 of the countries where the people are happiest are socialist. I heard that being open and honest teaches us that we aren't alone and can get through it.
@kathleenb1947 then you have heard the same things that many others have said. Nothing new. Food for thought though: Stephen King and George carlin wrote some of their best works while coked out of their minds. People have amazing ideas while under some kind of influence. Also mother's that have lost a child to crazy circumstances would have a word about happiness returning. There are exceptions to every rule
I love Carlin and would have added him to my list of creative geniuses, Hemmingway, Steinbeck, Edgar Alan Poe, had I been aware of his lubricants. I wonder how many times I was creative at night only to find the following morning that my "art" was unintelligible? Alas, no genius here. But mothers that lose their children often relate and yet have their children restored when these issues are addressed. I have also heard from the mouth of an ex resident of Folsom Prison that over 90% of the inmates are drug alcohol related. In light of these facts, enhanced creativity is an excuse. I hope you'e happy, Danny.
@kathleenb1947 I'm in transition and quite content with the unknown right now. Happy, yea. I have people that love me and that makes me happy. I hope you are happy as well. All the people that produced something creative while on a drug (caffeine is a drug, the most abused one as well) are examples, but you say it's an excuse. Let's agree to disagree. 90% of inmates at folsom are in for drugs. Maybe. I tried a quick search and couldn't find raw numbers. I personally wouldn't go by the word of an inmate. Not because they are an inmate. I wouldn't go by anyone's word unless they had data to back it up. And about mothers..... go tell that to the countless mothers that have lost their children to war or famine. I've watched programs where mothers have lost children decades ago and are never the same. Some accept it, but that's not necessarily the healing that you think makes them whole. Many just mask their misery cause the world expects them to move on.
Stephanie Ruhle was absolutely amazing, thoughtful and deep questions.
As always!
Excellent and very helpful information from both people here. I appreciate so much that it was free on KZhead. Thank you!
I love his views on "the irrational interest in the well being of other people".
Consider this basically a free night of Scott Galloways class.
My fav professor. 🙏🏻
If only I had learned all this when I was young. This is such useful information. What a great speaker.
Well, when we're in our 20's, we're in a different place than in our 30's or 40's. This sort of message would have probably been lost on us back then. Then again, if you don't regret your choices, who cares if you could've made better ones? And if you do, what's stopping you from learning from them and applying those lessons to your life going forward?

Love Galloway's take, utter honesty about the satirical treachery of pursuing success and happiness, reminds me of Ram Charan's take on using our skills to exhaust the time we have to get really, really good at something. Getting really good at something will increase our chances of earning fulfilling opportunities. Mediocrity, in general terms, won't thrust us into the coveted 10% or better.
wow...i stumbled on this video...truth spoken so blatantly...hope the new kids watch this and learn
As a 26 year old young man in our current times, this discussion comes on time. Like most knowledge, we should all share this freely
Been 2 years. How’s life going? 👀

This is one of my favorite videos of all time. So much profundity but placed into a simplistic way, ease for us to digest. Thank you Prof Galloway, and NYU Stern.
I love listening to Scott. He has helped me go through periods of stress and stay positive.

Amazing talk
Really needed this. Great rants, Scott.
This is a hard and plain conversation about serious future planning. Must see!
Stephenie is so sharp and fun
Success is how you define it. Money is good to have because it makes life easier. It doesn’t mean you will be happy.
Unreal dialogue. And wow, she is amazing!
Follow your heart. Use your head. Imagination is key.
This video change my life, Scott is brilliant
Totally agree. Men should take economic responsibility for their families and sometimes that means recognizing it might be best for the family if their wife has more earning potential and that they should shoulder domestic responsibilities to enable that.
The questions being casted are very good she is succeeding at drawing professor’s deep insight in each question.
That was a great interview. Thanks for that.
Life lessons in a nutshell! Worthy to whatch. Thanks for the great content.
She asked all the right questions
He is so brilliant. Somehow he is that profession that you hate and the professor that you love all in one. He subtly combines real data and facts with very emotions and sentimental concepts of life in way that is applicable to most people, and she is beautifully pulling it out of him with her challenging questions.
Amazing and very realistic.
Wow, the part where Stephanie talks about eliminating long term goals is so seemingly controversial but so intelligent. I've never thought about it in the way she explained it but it makes so much sense that only living for the future makes your present so much worse. Not that it means that you shouldn't plan for the future, but you shouldn't be banking on a specific outcome, because what if it doesn't happen?
fortunately for the rich, they can afford to be here i.e. PRESENT for their lives, because their futures are secure. But if you're constantly in a state of distress worrying about the future, then you can't really be present can you? You're always stuck in thinking about horrible past experience and suffering, or worrying about how to avoid a repeat of those times in the future. Thus, the precariat is born. This is the fate of the majority, as eloquently depicted in his wealth inequality charts. What people want is to be able to be present for their own lives, rather than constantly worried due to the crushing weight of financial insecurity. It's brutal capitalism for the poor, but a gentle capitalism if not socialism for the rich.
Love how all the people espousing happiness are all wealthy people. Money doesn’t buy happiness but it sure does help.
So great!
Useful advice from Scott as usual. Also Stephanie was great!
Came here for Scott...stayed here for Stephanie
Fantastic.
Refreshing!!!
Enjoyed this insightful and intelligent conversation.
Great interview
Amazing talk! Do more of this!
I really enjoyed this conversation. Thank you very much.
Scott Galloway is one of the most interesting men to listen to in all of America
Oh, that was such a candid useful conversation! Superb!!!
Scott Galloway is a genius and funny as heck. My hat's off to Stephanie Ruhle for mostly keeping a straight face. If I was interviewing him I'd be laughing way too much.

Amazing interview.
I believe people who have money, have USED others to succeed, and cheated. A skill set makes NO matter !!!
A lecture to the priveleged on happiness . Choosing a partner like putting together a stock portfolio. Such fun.
Brilliant
AMAZING!!
she's such a great journalist
I really relate to what both of them say…this is how we were raised to work hard, be better and what you have to do and don’t compare. And at my later years I’m more happier though a lot of personal goals weren’t achieved.
Steph just proved the source of happiness is comedy.
Greatness. Love intelligent discourse.
Put yourself in front of more opportunities. Be willing to take risks and endure rejections. Persavearence over failure key to success
The interviewer was amazing. Great combination of commentators.
Lovely such great session
What a great talk, both are great!

I like this camera looking out at the crowd
Isn't that what follow your passion means? To find something you're good at and love as well; You can have a successful business but without a passion for what you do you won't excel to the max no matter how hard you grind and if you do have a passion, the grind comes easy.
"Follow your bliss", is what I think we're reaching for as poor advice. And to that I would add two more: "Trust your feelings"' and "Just be yourself."
Partners largely choose eachother because of attraction which in large part is determined by looks and some confidence. There is myth that women don't choose partners for looks, but for intelligence etc... Women choose looks especially in western societies where money is available when both partners have a job. It is actually harder for men with high IQ to find a partner, people mostly like others with equal intelligence. Data from dating apps show that a small minority of men get courted often, while the average man get's hardly any attention and the below average get literally nothing. That women choose the best match and men are less picky is evolutionary determined (a man can impregnate many women), the big difference with today's social apps is that women can not only compare the men in their neighbourhood but a much wider share of the male populace then ever was possible.
