Well he is not doing this for free nor shoukd he its one if tge great things about youtube. in a world where technology can be used to spy on and control, and do great harm. It also enables people to share information like this and be able to earn a living. Depending on the amount of subscribers youtube can be quite lucrative. So it enables someone like me who does not have very much money to be able to get information like this. Its sad that some people use it to just spread hate and misinformation.

His online resources are an incredible tool. Highly beneficial for someone with a disorder snd thoughtful with so many additional resources. I took notes for a bit but found transcripts. I couldn't balance content for my viewers that serves them well and is paid for by ad companies he has to appease to keep it all free, and cross promote on podcasts too. Research? Teaching formal class? I'm learning to focus on two things and neither of them are brain science. There's a huge gulf between what he knows and what we learn here.

Okay, 1:54:30 or so.. I've been listening to a lot of talks on psychedelics for quite some time now.. and this is the first time I've heard someone refer to exercise as psychedelic. It absolutely is - it is how I get to my honest place. Glad to hear it confirmed with someone else.

@Dionysus no specific exercise, not taking about yoga or anything. Just the act of getting fatigued, exhausted, there is something to it.

"Non sleep deep rests" Holy crap, there's a term for the thing I do. I've found that when I can't sleep, just lying down and clearing my head can sometimes have the same effect as sleep.

Clearing your head?

[@ltwig476]

I just started doing it from out of nowhere during this winter covid lockdown. Such a great tool. Never realized it was just too much brain noise causing my fogginess. Just go lay down and relax everything for 20 min - half an hour and become completely clear headed, ready to tackle anything.

Same here I started doing power naps (if I manage to go to sleep otherwise I just l lie down) after I've watched Coursera's learning how to learn course a couple of years ago. Best thing that happened to my mental health.

Hooked. Thank you so much for a great listen! Andrew Huberman is my inspiration these days. I enjoyed and appreciated your interview with him. I saw him in a bit of a different, more personal light (I suppose that what a good interviewer does). Topics of the interview were interesting and informative, funny and weird (in a good way); but that’s not what struck me most. It was the intimacy, the obvious extreme level of mutual respect, admiration and friendship that really set the tone. I’ve only just met you, Lex for the first time tonight - listening to your interview with Andrew- and I hope to hear much more from you in the future. I listen to Andrew’s podcast regularly and plan to add you to my “listen-list.” In closing, I don’t want to be too sentimental, but dang... y’all ended the interview on a real “Kumbaya” note. I could feel the love all the way down here, “Deep in the Heart of Texas”. Thank you!

I haven't used an alarm to wake up since 2015. I just watch my hydration really closely all through the day, and then simply drink the prescribed amount of water before bed. Using this method, I can land within 30 mins. of whatever time I wish to wake up. Liberating myself from the mechanical commands of an alarm clock has had a measurably positive effect on my quality of sleep and overall cognitive function. Total game changer.

Time the deep breaths with the footstep (multiple steps) pace and the variable heart rate can be controlled at near perfection for miles.

You guys continue to inspire young generations to not only want to learn scientific material regarding human nature, but to teach as well and essentially give such 'lollipop moments' to one another as a society. Teaching in a conversational manner, is super inspiring and you guys are definitely the first of the wave for such a naturalistic methodology of pedagogy.

Time stamp: 1:27:30 Very interesting when he discusses "why we quit" with reference to the experiment of the animal running when altering the visuals to make them think they are not getting anywhere... I notice this when I run, if I am doing loops on a track, it seems so much harder to keep going ever lap, yet when I'm on a beautiful trail and see my progress through the forest, running 5+ miles is a breeze. Fascinating.

[@ianm6309]

Amazing podcast. You guys have become two of my favorites. I appreciate the advice for the 4×4×48 challenge as well as I'll be out there hammering along with you and Goggins, Lex!

There are way too many podcasters whose main function seems to be proving how smart they are. They interrupt their guests to try to show how much they know. It is so welcoming to see someone like Mr. Fridman who asks questions and just listens.

These two humans have genuinely changed my life (and Wim Hof). And both of them have the mutual genuine goal of putting valuable information out for free to help the average human be a better person. They both genuinely want to help society and they’re smart enough to realize the way to do it.

[@andersemil5541]

Such a wealth of knowledge and good tips; thank you so much for this podcast

[@qbtucker8]

Andrew is the man! Love learning about Nuro plasticity! Keep em coming Lex

[@eismccc]

You guys are amazing, like, the dynamic between the different fields specifically but also the common subjects and the humor and ease that emerges makes it super easy to pay attention and is interesting. I fell asleep on one that I clicked on (not for lack of interest lol I'm binging your entire library) and woke up to this one playing, and was super interested in the deft play over the different topics, super interesting.

[@SpineGevity]

Such a great conversation to listen in. To hear 2 brilliant people condense complex topics into understandable and useful bites: helps me so much. I especially appreciate understanding the physiology of sleep that explains why I have moments of irrational irritability- “looking at the word ‘the’ and feeling pissed off.

[@TheScottGillies]

You guys are awesome! Seriously doing such IMPORTANT WORK! Thank you so much!!

[@mishello23]

This is one of the most informative and very interesting podcast. Thanks Lex for this. I am also eager to know what you find on vegan diet (when you try it).

[@ewaysouth]

Oh Boy, that's was a true delight. Thank you so much, Gentleman!

[@yanivgurwicz2612]

Lex, you are making superb podcasts, and helping so many people to broaden their horizons. Please don’t be discouraged by some negative reactions “on the internet”, as there will forever be trolling out there - but those are completely overshadowed by the immense positive reactions you get. Please keep posting these god-given presents to us all.

[@jakbear]

This is the key to life. OMG I wish I listened/watched this every year since 30 years ago.

[@denomo]
