❤This is one of the most important podcasts I’ve ever heard! It’s so rich and detailed! I’m and a holistic massage therapist, mindfulness coach. I’ve worked very hard on my own mental health issues with anxiety and depression and understand myself. With all of the other work I’ve done hearing the message in the podcast really puts a lot of peace’s into perspective. Especially with regards to self awareness and overcoming to find peace, contentment and delight! I love this and I will keep watching and sharing❤️❤️❤️ Thank you Andrew for what you’re doing it’s so needed in the world today 🌍

KUDOS to you, @jk7jester: My mom taught me, when i was very little, that donations of apparent great generosity is not necessarily what they seem on the surface: ie unselfish and truely altruistic.. I had commented, effusively, on how "generous" it was that a very wealthy person VERY PUBLICALLY gave monies to Cancer research. The radio DJ had repeatedly praised this action with excessive verbiage, attributing to this man great sacrifice and humility. She quietly asked if the amount gifted was, to that individual, actually "generous" or might they have ulterior motives? She pointed out that the amount of money (though extravagant to our household income) was in truth, very little given that person's wealth. Granted, it is arguably better to donate such monies to a charity (publicly or not) than to waste it....but...she posited that he was RECIEIVNG a multitude of PUBLIC attention and applause (given the fact he did so very publicly) and he would no doubt be giving these monies for the tax break, as such donations are tax deductible here. She asked me to estimate the percentage of the gift, compared to his wealth, and compare that amount to the percentage of a smaller donation from someone who TRULY CAN NOT AFFORD TO GIVE more than a "relatively small amount". She enlightened me to the fact that (in comparison) the $50.00 that many of our VERY POOR neighbours donated when she canvassed on behalf of the charity was in truth far more generous. They also did so without any fanfare or publicity, yet still they gave. GENEROUSLY and ALTRUISTICALLY. She did not point it out, but I asked was this why she gave so unselfishly of her TIME as we could truly NOT spare even a few dollars to support this [and other charities] such as the SPCA which were cause(s) she believed in? My mom devoted many evenings to this task, despite a working day which began prior to dawn, work which was physically and mentally demanding and relentless throughout the entire day, well into the evening. When I was married, I tried to talk my husbter into donating monies to the BC Children's Hospital (which had helped my/our eldest son since infancy) and he REFUSED, claiming we "could not afford it". AFTER he left we three, I donated weekly small amounts of my much smaller income to that very charity. I felt GRATITUDE that we had not lost our home and were not actually starving...so each time I shopped for groceries, I HELD BACK AT LEAST ONE "luxury" item that we REALLY WANTED (such as processed foods) at the till, and donated THAT amount to the Hospital. Also, many times I bought one of the non perishable high value foods recommended by the Food Bank as being MOST NEEDED and paid for TWO such items, placing one in the bin (to help those less fortunate than ourselves) as we left the store. I then integrated the new items into our weekly meal planning. THEREAFTER, I went straight home and after the groceries were stashed, made my kids MUCH CHEAPER HOMEMADE cookies or pies to reward them for their UNSELFISHNESS. I think it's wonderful to give what you can

I stopped smoking weed completely after experiecing schizophrenia from a family member. It made me reevaluate the path I was going and I researched a lot about how long term use can induce psychosis and schizophrenia. I decided that I did not want to increase my chances by another 40% given that if there's already a lineage of schizophrenia that makes me 10% likely to develop it. I was not willing to gamble with 50%. I quit. Cold turkey. So far I've been so much more focused and for the first time in my life so far, I've managed to save money and keep it that way. Sobriety is the first step to getting better.

This is really great information & quite informative,& if only more people today could get this in their mind. Go within & get in tune with yourself & your headspace & get mentally stronger & healthy. In my own life I always just wanted the best for my family & friends & others & Every living thing in this Earth. Love & gratitude & kindness & courtesy to each other are an excellent attribute & endeavor to have. I believe this much to My very Core. This proverbial sandbox herein Earth in this place is really big enough to have everyone gather & reach their goals & dreams. There should be no hungry child no homeless people no body strung out in drugs alcohol or other crutches. They are all just trying to numb & escape their reality of not achieving receiving & trying to do better & be the best versions of themselves. Trust that I know this. The only thing I do now is try to be a better version of me today than I was yesterday & if I find a person in my path to pay it forward for, then I do just that. It’s so simple, yet why aren’t more people aware & doing this? I ask? I’m am an empathetic non judging humble being & only here for a short visit too. I’m aware my time is short. May you all reach your fullest potential purpose & self & realize you are worthy & Loved . & that nothing fake or artificial in this World will really fill Your sadness or emptiness or anything that you feel is lacking from within yourself. So Please, I beseech you all to try be honest with yourselves & go deep into your core & find the happiness love & care for yourself & others that we all collectively as Humanity, are here just to understand & Learn. & that alone too would be a huge improvement in This world. When you give of yourself, the return to your very heart & Soul, may just astound you. Just try it & see. With Care & LOVE Take Care Another Human Friend 🕊️💕🕊️ PS I am Not ai or an ibot.

Wow, wow, and wow again. I literally had an emotional breakdown last week. I ended up in the hospital for 6 days. When I came home I couldn't handle it. I literally came to the conclusion that I don't know how to live. Just live. When we think about what we need there are very few things we have to do. Like sleeping, breathing, eating, and moving. I don't get enough sleep, I don't take deep breaths, I barely eat, and I don't exercise. If I don't do the basic things to just exist, how can I do anything else well? It seems simple but, it really helped me find focus and a starting point for better health.

You underestimate the degree to which the government can insert themselves into a person's life and demoralise them intentionally manipulating relationships, cutting off their ability to earn money by control over companies bank accounts cards and the rest, canceling social status, creating artificial homelessness as a means to dispose of inconvenient individuals with opinions that the government would prefer to discredit. If you don't believe this is happening that's very unfortunate but it's been going on for a long time and it's currently happening to me so, I thought I would share this information in the light that it might wake someone up a bit out of complacency. The homeless problem is like the drug problem, billions of dollars of pumped into it and it creates vast amounts of money.. if that seems completely counterintuitive, it won't do in the next 15 to 20 years when more and more covert data becomes publicly available. Your government can and do dispose of inconvenient types, who gets to actually interact with who and who gets to breed a family is actually very tightly controlled although it may not ever seen that way to you... Who gets to be successful and who gets a career is also likewise very tightly controlled... Who has access to the money machine and who doesn't likewise.. When you have sudden misfortune in your life it might be wise to consider the likelihood of it not being just some sort of chaotic series of events that couldn't have been predicted by anyone in certainly couldn't have been generated by anyone. Even worse random things also happen, which just makes identifying which is which very difficult.. Now I'm sure you're going to take this as the ramblings of a paranoid delusional type but then it all seems like someone's delusional until it's happening to you, now you're the delusional homeless person why would anyone believe you your clothes look messy that's enough reason to be suspicious of someone.. you could be a professor but if you look like you eat out of garbage dumpsters who the hell is going to listen to a thing you've got to say... The culture is likewise very carefully managed, The reliance upon image identity likewise not coincidental, just in case anyone gets too big for their boots you can always use the fact that they are too old and out of touch yes the age weapon that's the way it's useful to discredit individuals who've been around too long and got too comfortable... You see the whole thing's a giant game on one level, if I can think of all of this garbage and it's even remotely implementable which of course it is deeply implementable with modern technology, how do you suppose in justify that someone wouldn't be doing all of this, worse they would be catastrophically vulnerable if they didn't... Because someone else would definitely be willing to... Nothing in your world is quite how it seems, thank you lucky stars for what they've allowed you to have, you'll never know the truth until you find yourself at the very bottom of the pyramid, because it's only when you look up with true perspective that you really see everything clearly, but by then it's too late no one is going to listen to a word you've got to say anymore. So yes we can talk about the drive but they know about that and remove it intentionally from people

[@othertwice]

Thank you for another wonderful session. As a psychologist, allow me to expand on your question regarding 'staying in a relationship longer than one should': Our parents imprint on us what we come to recognize as love. If we had neglectful parents, we may be drawn to neglectful partners; an irresponsible parent may have left the impression that 'this is love,' leading us to seek out similar traits, even if we can't tolerate such behavior. And yes, we can change our patterns. 😊

Being able to deliver criticism or your side in a good way is way to help the unhealthy person understand better and process their unprocessed trauma.

My gal was 16.5yo and it was just this past May, that she needed help passing along. I wish I could have done it at home but did take her body back home with us so that we could do our ceremonies and have more time with her in that stilled quiet state. She was with me since she was 2mths old and was the being that was in my life the longest. Longer than my being with my parents and longer than my child, who ventured on his own the same age I did. She is still a constant companion in the energetic ether and that brings me tremendous comfort. But I cry everyday tears of love and gratefulness for the joy she brought to me but also tears of mourning. Losing pets has always been hard for me but this one really has impacted me in ways I am still coming to terms with. I look forward to the next canine beast who will fill the hole in my being. My dog really did make me a better human. My best to all those who have loved a dog and those that will lose them too.

What breed?

[@KrisTurnbull]

I know this is a loaded concept (what we teach in schools) but I do wish they’d have a curriculum that included how to deal with emotions and cope in the world. Parents try their best but we are the results of multiple generations- including the good, bad and inbtwn. As a clinician myself, and someone who is still learning to understand my emotions and live well with them, I find society as a whole could benefit from accessible tools to cope. Even when I worked in acute pain management, the majority of my patients had an inability to cope that was as hindering as their physical pain. I appreciate podcasts and platforms such as this as it creates a bridge to all of us being better able to understand and cope. 🙏 keep it up!

I agree with this, and many countries already include this. Unfortunately, teaching empathy, emotional insight, care, love, etc. has been included in the "anti-woke" agenda of extremist groups and is now targeted in the United States. It is unfortunate because it's not like we are missing the knowledge. What we're missing is the social structure, institutions, and systems to spread it.

[@elisedemerveilles3065]

It's a loaded concept because people don't really want to teach the next generation what is actually healthy for them, they want to brainwash them into thinking the same as them, no matter which side of the "concepts" they are on. A true curriculum could be developed which is totally none political, but that wouldn't suit the agenda of the powers that be. Students that can cope with the stressors of life could also think for themselves, not really the agenda of the public school system, which is to produce a compliant work force for the future and nothing beyond that.

[@lisaruvalcaba1853]

It’s really not. It’s practical, simple & will yield a positive result. Adult agency where parents create the habit of practice. Endurance through a 18 mins a day to talk about they’re feeling & sharing/asking their children about their feelings. Discuss & lead by example. Adult agency requires the confidence to discipline & know what the healthiest choice is for their children. Cell phones are not healthy for children.

When there are too many stressors it makes is pretty difficult to remain mentally healthy. I live in the city, hopefully I can get out soon. My backyard is lit up with LED lighting from the street and I can hear the freeway, always. My city is growing so fast that where ever I drive there is construction and drab row housing and strip malls are all I see. The beautiful mountains I would look upon to orient myself now have huge mansions built into them. Though I am out doors on my street often there are neighbors I have not met once that live on my street. I do try daily to be grateful for what I do have but sometimes I do not believe the stressors we are put under are conducive for health, yet there they are. Maybe the new "Line" they are creating will be better? I am going to listen to the whole talk but at 4 hours I am going to need to break it up some. I am hopeful that it will help with my discouragement of my surroundings.

Mr. Huberman, I want to thank you for this…I think this will change my life for the better. Since listening to you it brought me the strength to address and get my whole family mental help.

For myself, I feel like I am getting to a point where I think I can achieve what I want; because I have the tools to heal and reframe my mind.

Dr Pinsky explained that the goal of therapy is to build an empathic relationship with the therapist, so that you can trust, share, grow and overcome issues in relationships. It takes time to build an empathic relationship, it is not transactional like A) listen to this explanation and definition of terms, B) you are now changed for the better. Many patients lie to their therapist, some are embarrassed about how bad or petty they might sound, some are protecting not willing to open wounds, scared what might happen if they were wrong all this time, etc. Therapy is complicated for sure.

@@Respect2theFallen there are several misconceptions about what a seizure is, what it looks like, what causes it, what to do when someone is having a seizure, and what society thinks of people with epilepsy. Kind of a lot to address in one YT comment, but in short not all seizures have convulsions. Not all seizures are triggered by flashing lights. When someone is having a seizure make sure they don’t fall, help them gently onto the ground and lay them on their side, other than that give them space. Lots of epileptics aren’t all that different than everyone else in terms of personality or capability, we just have the additional mental and sometimes physical stress of dealing with a disability

It's good to hear a current student understanding that what they train you to do and what is most helpful are often two different things.

Get your degree and licensure and then branch out on your own and follow your heart and gut. Following your new path will lead you in the right direction and away from the old.

[@MindShiftChronicle]

Honestly, mental health represents the pinnacle of both art and science. It's incredibly intricate, and I admire Huberman's humility in tackling such a daunting subject. Practicing in this field can be challenging and uncomfortable, yet simultaneously both difficult and accessible. It transcends traditional scientific boundaries and mirrors the intricacies of our minds. While it's a rewarding discipline, it requires resilience. Understanding the structure and function of the self provides a powerful framework for grappling with the complexities of the mind. Many thanks to Dr. Conti for shedding light on this topic. It appears that delving into the science and healing of the mind is akin to a divine undertaking, positioned at the forefront of both science and medicine. It's a discipline that demands both extreme rationality, akin to Huberman's approach, and profound intuition, reminiscent of an artist's sensibility. Engaging with the full spectrum of human experiences is essential in this field, making it simultaneously challenging and immensely fulfilling. However, psychiatry, operating beyond strict scientific confines and blending wisdom with science, requires substantial mental resources to practice effectively. It's unfortunate that psychiatrists often don't receive the recognition they deserve within the medical community, considering they work with the most delicate and crucial aspect of humanity: the mind. Indeed, the practice of psychiatry is closest to playing God, necessitating caution and care. Imagine the weight of attempting to heal someone from their inner demons - it's truly remarkable.

To achieve a secure retirement, aiming to save at least 15% of your income in a 401(k) is advisable. Online tools can assist in calculating the best savings strategy for you, considering factors like age and income. Consistently saving this percentage can help build your retirement fund effectively, thanks to the benefits of compound interest.

Keep it simple, buy things you understand, take some risk but don't try to shoot the lights out. I currently have 75% SCHD and 25% ROTH IRA. Brokerage account is 40% VOO, 35% SCHD, 25% XLK. Combine balance ~$3.3m Less than 3 years until retirement.... I have about 400k in cash. My portfolio has yielded far more than I expected for my retirement. Kudos to my advisor.

[@SamsonsRhodesas]

That's quite remarkable! I'm genuinely interested in benefiting from the guidance of such experienced advisors, especially considering the current state of my struggling portfolio. May I know the names of the advisors who has been assisting you in navigating these financial challenges?

[@MontoyasJacksons]

Certainly, there are a handful of experts in the field. I've experimented with a few over the past years, but I've stuck with *MONICA AYAKO VOS* for about five years now, and her performance has been consistently impressive.

Thank you, Andrew. You honestly might be the first man I’ve ever heard talk about health in terms of what we might be capable of doing, or of different health markers, rather than it being just based on BMI. Very refreshing to hear body positivity from a guy. Thank you!!

BMI is a starting point, the reason to investigate further. Humans do get serious metabolic stress from excess fat . I remember rationalizations like "just big boned", or its cold so i need insulation or I feel more powerfull in this big size. We see ad campaigns about "just love your body size regardless", while we have an Obesity Epidemic that is crippling the US health care & welfare systems. 50% of US kids are now in prediabtes. I'm concerned for us/US, I cannot assign it to males having over expectations of females.

BMI is actually NOT a good starting point, as it is steeped in misinformation and unbalanced/faulty research. My heart is as healthy as someone 100 lbs lighter than myself, but since people are not walking echocardiograms, they don’t see the health markers of other people. I also got back from a trip recently and the amount we walked in a week was well over 40 miles as clocked by my Fitbit. The only issue I had was with my feet, and it’s an issue unrelated to weight. Telling overweight people to “just lose weight” is, to me, the same attitude as telling a person dealing with clinical depression to “just get happy”, as if that’s (gasp) never something we’ve tried to do. Health is something that can be attained at any size.

[@kamihayes5147]

Also how is obesity “crippling the US health care and welfare systems”, exactly? Maybe those systems were already in need of fixing without blaming it on fat. people

@@kamihayes5147 Stop blaming charts designed to start the discussion, what better starting point to hang on a doctor's wall. Long term Health is not likely with obesity. Morbid obesity is named that for a reason. Look at blue zone people's BMIs and do research before blaming a wall chart for the US diabesity / metabolic disease epidemic.These are already the majority of healthcare expenditures. Those collecting disability welfare are often from the same preventable diseases. If you want to use one anecdotal trip to disprove US medical knowlege you don't understand science and logic. US corporations have hacked processed food to hook you on sugar salt fat dopamine releases combinations to keep you eating more. But you can get diet and weight under control, it starts with acknowledgement of the problem, then putting something better in the shopping cart. Turn anger into action.
