I really appreciate Mark’s honesty and “human-ness.” He’s not trying to act like what one would imagine as an expert in the field of emotions. Super relatable and helps to give the general population “permission” to be who they are. Thanks Huberman and Mark.

[@DisnStukKk]

Particularly apparent in the example of his mother in law trying to grind him during lockdown. Very relatable and his openness in sharing many stories illustrating we all have feelings. no one person is above another in that area - so for that reason I hope his dad reads what I have to say... Marc's father: Marc's --- may stink, BUT SO TOO DOES YOURS, MINE, ANDREW'S - everyone's does. 😄

While watching this podcast, I got frustrated with my wife for throwing out my shampoo, used the hot air balloon strategy and realized how silly it was to lash out over something like that, told my wife I loved her and moved the hell on with my day. It sounds silly, but its these little tools that make this podcast so life changing. Thank you Dr Huberman and Dr Brackett!

[@prmft94123]

Oh Marc! The story you told of the other professor showing the video of a child being bullied and saying "That was Marc before he got his black belt" touched me so deeply- and with the sadness I felt rage and identification. When I was newly licensed, almost 30 years ago, I was in a training through an Institute in San Francisco in which I'd been chosen to present a case over a period of the entire first semester. It was a difficult case, and I'd chosen to present it because it was difficult for me to identify with my patient who was very much involved with paraphilia that involved scatological practices, and there were a couple of other clinicians who objected to my being chosen (by the leader) because of my inexperience. As the weeks progressed, there was much rolling of eyes and expressions wanting to "dump" me in favor of someone else presenting, and even though the psychoanalyst who was leading the group said that she had no objection with my presentation, she caved to the pressure of these couple of participants and prematurely ended my time presenting (which was supposed to last for the duration of the semester) and chose someone else to present (with less disturbing material). Years later, she approached me and asked if I had "survived" that horrible experience, so at least there was some acknowledgement that she hadn't handled the situation well at all and that it had been harmful to me. Fortunately, I was in analysis with a skilled supportive analyst and had the support of a couple of the other participants, but the ostracizing and contempt of these couple of more experienced clinicians was very hurtful and damaging to me at the beginning of my career. Forgive the lengthy "comment" along with my other comments here, but I found this episode to be so stimulating and evocative that I wanted to share this.

Through Marc Brackett’s amazing Ruler program, our elementary school students and teachers developed more effective emotional skills and a more compassionate school culture. Using Ruler tools and strategies guided us in handling conflicts and managing challenging feelings. Marc was an inspiring and transformative Uncle Marvin to Mercer Elementary School. Every day we shared our feeling and developed strategies to achieve our goals. It changed me, to start each lesson asking- “How do you want to feel in speech today?”

I want to acknowledge Dr Brackett for alchemizing the cruelty and abuse and neglect of his childhood into an illuminating way of relating to oneself and others and the world.

Thank you for the honesty and vulnerability you both express.

[@tropicallymixed.]

For those of us raised by Baby Boomers, we really need to give them grace and consider how they were raised. We really expect the offspring of the generation that survived the Great Depression to have emotional intelligence? I give my mother grace because she had a mother who raised seven children on her own. How can I expect my mother to have emotional intelligence? Our parents were survivors and they believed their role was to feed us and put a roof over our heads.

[@barbarafairbanks4578]

Good take on the (often overlooked) differences btw generations & their 'flavor' of raising kids, based quite a bit on their OWN upbringing. It appears that many gen-z'ers are going 'no contact' with their parents - leaving many of these unfortunate parents hurt/confused/saddned - not to mention completely perplexed over what they actually did to their kids to have caused this. This 'no-contact' phenomenon seems (from what I've read, of late) to be gaining momentum in the GenZ generation. I do think that today's technology, unrealistic social media, and completely different social/emotional environment we now live in - is largely to blame for this unfortunate development in extended family life. 😢

I don’t remember exactly which generation is which (sorry for the laziness and not googling it), but I remember growing up in the 80’s considering absolutely embarrassing to talk about feelings. Or mental health, for that matter.

I’m at about 1:24’ish and am thrilled to hear Brackett describe how when one someone becomes aware of their emotion, they can begin to address it. I have 3 kids (11, 14, 15) and for the last 5 years I’ve been committed to asking them to identify their emotion. This question is such a staple that we even have a poster in our living room of the emotion wheel which identifies the primary emotions and which category the secondary emotions belongs to. Anyway, I tell them all the time that emotions are like a student in class who knows the answer - his hand is up, he’s waving it, stretching as far as it’ll go, saying “oo oo oo”, just being a total distraction, but what happens when we call on him - his hand goes down, he’s sitting still, and now you can actually focus on what you’re doing. Love this topic! Thank you Huberman and Brackett , I’m totally enjoying this episode!

I don’t know if people know this, but “emoji”is a Japanese🇯🇵 word, made up of two components : “e” is “絵” which means picture or paintings, and “moji” is “文字” which means text or characters, so it literally just says “picture characters”, which is exactly what they are. And I found the topic interesting because I feel exactly the opposite for the Japanese culture as I think having emojis makes the text conversation more enriching and eloquent. Now, I do acknowledge that by using a single emoji to express feelings, we are cutting our effort to elaborate our emotions using words. But in Japan, no one expresses feelings, period. People never tell you what they think, and expect that you guess it right. And surprisingly, people do! (How😭😫🥺)So in a high context culture like this, tiny as it is, an emoji is a great hint to solve a mystery within our communications, and that’s probably why there are so many of them with the slightest difference in nuances. Another important aspect is that Japanese being low tolerant in reading text in general, we use emojis to not exactly to omit elaboration with words but more for the benefit of readers. In Japan, most restaurants have menu’s with pictures and many even have replicas of dishes by the entrance. Another example is that it’s rare to see instructions or manuals explained without pictures or drawings by steps, and I couldn’t believe that only-text cook books exist in the US😅 Because we hate so much to read anything in plain text, and don’t want to be asked nor spoken to by others, visually rich communication style has developed so that we can keep on with our telepathic way of dealing with each other🛸👽🛸 As I’ve been in the US and have lived most of my life speaking in both languages, I still find it strange and sometimes scary how Japanese people get away communicating without really communicating…😢 I’ve got into fights with my own mom, telling me how I shouldn’t be so straightforward or that I “should read her mind”, but also had many occasions where people thanked me of how honest I was to tell them what I really thought, so things might shift…and hope these cute little 絵文字s could serve us all well❤😆🎉🎉

[@brittonyb5279]

Great comment. Super interesting

[@itssoaztek4592]

Thanks for elaborating on the use of emojis in Japan! What I did not understand in your comment is exactly why Japanese are so reluctant to read plain text? Is it considered difficult to read text (perhaps like I am reluctant to read math equations or computer code because it is somewhat difficult for me to parse?) Or are people reluctant to read plain text in Japanese because perhaps it is more cumbersome to accurately express feelings and such? I am just wildly guessing here, hopefully someone who knows can chime in.

From listening to this episode, I come to a conclusion that life is a quest to overcome the struggles imprinted in us in our childhood and youth.

[@gracetallar3468]

I agree that just labelling the emotion is not sufficient to manage feelings and moods. However it is a first step. Knowing why shows you a trigger of your emotion and this is developing self-awareness.

Thank you for the excellent Podcast! As a Physician with a special interest in communication let me point out the compassion part: Compassion is essential for good patient care. Dr. Stephen Trzeciak has documented and proven this scientifically in his 374-page systemic review of compassion, comprising more than 1,000 articles from the best universities in the world.[20] Trzeciak is an intensive care physician and he was initially convinced that he would find the opposite when - as the author with the most impact points at his university - he was asked by his dean to find out whether compassion can and should play a role at their university. That was in fact the starting point of his search for scientific evidence, which ended in the book Compassionomics. You might get him on the podcast as well. It will be well worth it!

It’s no longer discarded into the memory abyss. If something has made you happy or miserable 20+ times, it’s impossible to bullshit yourself anymore. Without this data - it’s so easy to bullshit yourself. Then you can build friction around happiness/contentment limitations and also make happiness/contentment assets frictionless. Strip the liabilities and double down on the assets.

This is one of the most insightful, intelligent, humble, and thoughtful conversations on emotional intelligence I ever listened to! I feel being more equipped with truly good tools to understand what’s going on with myself and others better! Thank you, Dr. Brackett and Dr. Huberman! 😃

[@serenetgl]

Completed this episode over 3 days. Started applying the tools on Day 2. Felt the change IMMEDIATELY. Thank you Dr Brackett for your courage to share your stories and for your work! ❤️

Thanks!

This was so great!!! As a very extrovert person, I HATE text messages. (They are fine for quick messaging but not for keeping in touch.) During Covid when everyone started video chatting and calling/ texting I felt SO DRAINED. To the point where I had to physically leave my phone at home during my lunch break when working remotely- just for the break from technology. My introverted young adults- just fine. As a matter of fact, my daughter will not answer her phone unless I text first, hahaha!

[@shaheedanizar9347]

This is one of the best podcasts ever. Amazingly informative, for sure. Dr. Marc Brackett - is very real human. His research and teaching is a gift to humanity.

[@prmft94123]

So important! So often we'll unconsciously "choose" to have one feeling rather than another. For example, we would all rather feel guilty than powerless, something that is almost universal when someone we know or are related to commits suicide. We tend to "wouldda-couldda-shouldda" because if we can imagine that there might have been something we could have done to prevent the suicide we can retroactively feel more powerful, whereas the reality is that we were powerless which is a less tolerable emotion.

[@barbarafairbanks4578]

The wouldda-shouldda- couldda - emotions you've mentioned - is actually a pretty universal response to grief - specifically in an unconscious desire to magically fix the situation and reverse the fact that the loved-one HAS died. (Completely unconsciously...bc of course a sane person does know death cannot be reversed. But, this is in large part 'denial'. Most everyone goes through this 'if-only' thinking (if only I'd done this/that, or I hadn't done this/that - they'd still be here. And yes, it is very much a guilt response, but is largely unconscious. Th8s thinking is also a strong signal that the mind/heart has simply not accepted that death. That's the denial part of the 'stages of grief'. The way to find our way out of this 'if-only' torturous thinking is to admit (and declare) to ourselves, that we did the best we could. We did not do anything to harm that person (pet) - we did what we truly believed was best for the situation at the time. Sometimes it does take days, weeks, months to continually remind ourself, 'I did my best, with what I had/knew at the time. Helps, also, to go over this with a grief counselor - to finally be released from this guilt & unconscious sense of denial of the reality. But, I have to disagree that the guilt expressed as wouldda-couldda- shoudda in this type scenario, is a conscious emotion one chooses, over a feeling of powerlessness. We don't 'choose' it - it's a defense mechanism.

[@prmft94123]

@@barbarafairbanks4578 Of course. When I state that we "choose to have one feeling rather than another, I precede the word "choose" with the word "unconsciously." It is indeed a defense, and frequently a useful one which I keep in mind when I am working with someone in my psychotherapy practice as we navigate through their grief.

[@barbarafairbanks4578]

​@prmft94123 OPF! Sorry, Marc. Hadn't a clue that was you I was 'replying to' with my know-it-all post on your woulda/coulda post. I thought I was replying to some unknown in the comments section. ...and then of course, I MISSED the preceding word 'unconscious' in your post (40 lashes for moi🙄) Thanks for replying😊 Thanks

[@prmft94123]

@@barbarafairbanks4578 You WERE replying to "some unknown" (not Marc) in the comments section. My identity is the (@prmft94123) that precedes the "comment," but if you'd like me to be "known" rather than unknown my name is Patricia Ross and I'm a psychotherapist in private practice in the SF Bay Area for the past 32+ years. No offense taken. I figured that you'd missed the "unconscious" simply from the nature of your comment. No 40 lashes necessary. A perfectly human mistake.

[@aniag2739]

I loved this episode so much❤I think this is the best one for me so far. Thank you both💕

[@mommybreakdown]

Thank you, Dr. Huberman for your humble nature. It’s really inspiring to listen to someone with a wealth of knowledge feel like a peer. I notice how very few times I feel your judgment, but rather your inspiration for continuing to be my best self. It’s hard sometimes to listen to experts and the way you respond during interviews brings a beautiful homeostasis. I hope that makes sense. 😆. Have a fabulous week!

[@mommybreakdown]

I finally finished the rest of this one, after a busy week, and I’m glad that I did. The last 20 minutes were so profound. Educating children is the answer. Thank you, Dr. Brackett!!

[@marthachacon4027]

One of the most meaningful, deep conversations in months. Thank you!

Dr. Brackett, you are everyone's Uncle Marvin with the work that you do. @Huberman thank you for having Dr. Brackett.

[@nataliajimenez7373]

This is one of the best episodes and guests that you have ever had. I was so inspired by Dr. Brackett’s story and teachings that I bought his book and recommended the podcast to my husband and friends.

[@pro100olga]

Knowing that even an emotions regulation expert has difficulties living with their in laws makes me feel better about myself 😂

[@designbyellie4291]

This is a powerful and completely useful conversation. Thank you to Dr. Huberman for interviewing the brilliant Dr. Marc Brackett. His work needs to be taught in all of our schools.

[@louisezilliox1600]

Great conversation. Thank you. How wonderful it would be if everyone in the world learned these skills to support themselves and others. I've listened to Marc on Feel Better Live More and also read his book and it was a reminder to me that I need to revisit this.

[@kaleidoscopicboo]

So raw, so human, so resourceful!! Thank you Andrew for bringing and having such vulnerable conversations on a "science" based podcast!! Never have I ever cried (multiple times) while listening to a conversation between two MEN! ❤️‍🩹❤️✨ Looking forward to more such episodes 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Huge respect to Marc: what a lovely person + a great podcast ❤🙏🏻 (emoji-addict 😂)

[@julesvids74]

This was my first time hearing Marc, and I connected deeply with almost every word he said. I can’t wait to explore more of his work!

[@colleenfavor1303]

I think I text in-depth conversations that can be intense as I write better than I speak. I tend to put more thought into written words than speaking face to face

[@jerusalemlady9372]

Wow, I can honestly say that this was the most profound podcast I’ve ever heard. Tuned in not expecting something to affect me so deeply and it’s a story that’s so relatable. This helped me understand myself and my own childhood. The episode is a real turning point for me to also recognize adult bullying. Thank you for such a gift!❤

[@badrmourad8293]

Hello Andrew, I know you read all the comments. I wanted to thank you for your unbiased and methodical work, and suggest you to do an episode about video games, especially on how we could apply the reward system of video games and apply it to increase daily life motivation.

[@veronikaviegas6691]

Beautiful, insightful, deep and needed episode on Emotions. Everyone should listen to it and so we can perhaps start shifting to a better perceived and loving world. Thank you Andrew for another incredibly thoughtful and amazingly orchestrated episode! 💙

[@sew1what]

I was forced to quit 9th grade due to extreme hate threats against me and not one single adult in my life could/would step up...create a safe place for me to get an education. People don't know what to do with systemic racism. It affects our whole society and well being on every level 😢

[@melaniesutton4053]

This came at the right time for me. One of Huberman top podcast. And The Dr was just amazing, so relatable. Thank you both.

[@ArikCard]

Good morning Huberman and squad. I'd like to request a clinician working with adult patients with Interest Based Attention. I've seen the episodes where you break down the use of stimulates and I appreciate when you give your understanding and pair that with an interview with a clinician. As always, deepest gratitude to you and the whole team.

I listened to this on Apple Podcasts - I am here just to say Thank You for another great episode. All your guests are amazing. Marc’s openness is a joy to listen to. The whole conversation with Marc was superb. So lucky to have this rich content available to us at no cost. Love your work. (Just bought AG1) 😋

[@waggingsuccessotr4746]

Thank you Andrew for finding your way to my iPad over 4 years ago. Helped me change many parts of myself. Too many to text. lol. But reason I’m texting is to agree 100% with the texting part. I have a very hard time replying if there are more than one person. Think about how everyone will interpret. 😒

[@himawariwellness8107]

So many valuable podcasts here, and yet this has to be at the top of the top most helpful and impactful on a personal level and as a h.s. teacher. Yes 💯 to the reduction plan! Thank you both and I look forward to another listen as well as reading both of your books. Much gratitude!💜

[@Freebirddee]

For a moment I felt normal when I heard Dr Huberman say he doesn’t like texting either. I also dislike social media. All of it has made us lazy humans!

Another endearing podcast interview with Dr. H. 😍. The conversational style is so compelling. I like how Dr. Brackett talks about his introvertedness. I like the idea of alone with others.

[@HeatherQ333]

I get what Andrew is saying about emoji's... however, I love emoji's because it allows me to add at least a little more information about my messege. Obviously they are generic and lack a lot of complexity but I like to use them so the person reading my messege at least knows that I am being friendly for example. Especially. Because they do add life to a messege that is otherwise kind of lifeless.... so if it's in a negative way then, it's felt that much more too...in a negative a repressive way... I don't think we should stop using them though.... maybe once we start using voice recordings or video's to comment instead of typing!

[@maciekwais]

Incredible authenticity from Dr. Marc. Incredible person. Huge respect for being able to convert all of this suffering to a system that teaches children EI. Unbelievable achievement.
