I’m grateful for the talk and my phone, but for me it’s rather ”I can’t believe we live in a world where all knowledge, food and water isn’t free for everyone.” Everyone would win if this was the case, even a thousand years ago.

[@matthajba1075]

My three biggest takeaways from this: 1. Any learning process or development starts with discomfort and confusion. You have to learn to embrace that learn to focus despite the discomfort and learn to enjoy the small wins along the way. 2. Feelings and thoughts follow action. Change your behaviour first and you'll change your thoughts and feelings. 3. Frustration and anger can make your brain "feel good". It's addictive. Don't let your brain go there. (I'd throw in self pity here as well, which is a big one for me.)

@yitzhak rafaeli shekkelsteinberg Thanks. :) I'm glad if they are useful for you. I like to make notes during listening.

[@krishnac5774]

I felt that he said anger and frustration give lots of dopamine, going into those states will help you focus more, did I get it wrong???

[@gymnast2890]

@yitzhak rafaeli shekkelsteinberg You can change your behavior & it will not change your thoughts & feelings. If that were true, all successful people would have high self-esteem! 95% don't. I was scanning the comments to see if I should watch it, did I miss something?

[@gymnast2890]

#2 is just wrong. In what context can thoughts follow behavior? You can't ACT without having a thought first...it's impossible. Which makes #1 sound good...but again, it's quite impossible to behave in ANY way without first having a thought. Suppose you become rich & famous/a billionaire by these methods. You will still have low self-esteem, because your thoughts haven't changed!! Elon Musk can't stand to be alone, it's torture for him. Hollywood is full of unhappy rich & famous people with low self-esteem, because their thoughts didn't change. I'm genuinely trying to understand. much love♥️♥️🌎🌎 I'm

I remember walking with my dad one very cold night. I was about 9 years old and a very skinny girl. I was walking, doubled over shivering and in pain. My father held my hand and said “right, we’re going to step this out. He made me stand up straight, chest out and count while marching, 1,2,3,4 1,2,3,4 , 1,2,3,4. We did it until my body became warm. We faced the cold head on. Not only did he teach me how to fix this in future, but it taught me how to face all hardships and fear the same way. Stand straight, head up, chin out and step it out. Don’t cower to fear, look at it and walk towards it. Didn’t realise it until I was about 25 and has stayed with me ever since. I am now 65. 😃

This video explains why I ran a marathon. Prior to this year, I was not a runner. I lost someone to suicide and was experiencing complicated grief. I had a thought to run a marathon so I signed up and found a 16 week training program. I used to hate running, but found training really therapeutic. I completed the marathon a couple of weeks ago and couldn't understand how I did it. Sounds like taking action (behaviour) plus early reward (noticing how good running felt) for the activity not the outcome, and the eye movement that happens with running helped me process my grief and run a marathon.

I've always been the person who puts off tasks because they don't "feel like it." I'd heard the advice before that "you're never gonna feel like it" and "motivation comes from action." But it never really clicked until I listened to this podcast. Now, when I see a task that needs doing, I don't give myself the space to whine about it in my head. I get up and fold my laundry right away, then give myself an internal pat on the back. "Nice. Good job not letting that basket of clean laundry wait. Look at your closet! It's so neat now."

*Recommendations:* - Act even when stressed. Stress is a necessary gate to go through to achieve a focused, productive state. - Create micro-goals on the fly and reward yourself mentally when they're achieved - To increase adrenaline, use tummo breathing or take an ice bath - To decrease adrenaline or rest, do two inhales followed by an exhale, look at the horizon, practice yoga nidra or hypnosis, take a walk, jog or go for a bike ride - To reduce anxiety related to specific well-defined trauma, use EMDR *Summary* (this summary is a draft. It is not very organized. ): In order to learn or perform well we need to be alert -- stress isn't a bad thing! -- and focused. We also need a reward so we don't quit. Biochemically, norepinephrine is responsible for alertness, acetylcoline for focus and dopamine for reward. Norepinephrine leads to quitting at high levels. Dopamine down-regulates it. It is internal, not external, rewards that propel us down long paths of success and high performance. That's because they can occur more consistently, which regulates levels of norepinephrine. Sensation, perception, feeling, thought, behavior. Run that backwards! Start with behavior, that will change your thoughts, feelings and perception. Mood follows action. Thoughts appear like pop-ups. You can't stop them from coming. You can introduce new thoughts, though. If adrenaline too low, use tummo breathing or ice bath to amp it up. If adrenaline too high, use physiological sigh: two inhales followed by one exhale. Some people try to use the vagus nerve as a connection between the mind and the body, but it's very slow. Vagus nerve calming is what you experience when you eat a carb-rich meal or when you've had a long day and you put your feet up to relax. It takes minutes to hours to kick in. Mental focus follows visual focus. Focused vision turns on the norepinephrine circuit, while panoramic vision turns it off. In order to rest a little bit, look at the horizon. Yoga nidra. Hypnosis creates a state of deep relaxation and focus at the same time, allowing for changes in the brain that change the behavior to something more desirable. Generate optic flow by walking, running or cycling To reduce anxiety related to specific well-defined trauma, use EMDR. Lateral eye movements reduce activity in the amygdala. Gratitude involves serotonin system. We are the only species that has neuroplasticity our whole lives.

Try this with it: Copy of my comment: *Who's On 1st?* *Thoughts or Behavior* (There are opposite Points of View on this Q, and BOTH are Valid, but 1 is more Powerful): 1. Behavior: Motion gains Momentium. The 5, 4, 3, 2, *"Up and headed to task."* There's a value in "Once I'm in Motion, it generates the Energy necessary to get Focused and Stimulates Desire to "Get it Done" (it = the "To Do List") However: Lets apply Quantum Physics Facts here, *All subjects that Manifest into 3D Reality 1st require Thought.* (This literally factors to "The Bang Came 2nd"! Ponder it, You'll get it.)* Fact is we Have a Thought then Take Action. That s the Natural Flow of our "doing". Thought is a subject that deserves far more attention, then apply the "Lab and Chemistry" and then You have. *"The Perfect Model Plan",* nothing can supersede the Divine Design of our Universe. It is Absolute and so few things are in our Reality World. *"Our greatest Power as Individuals and as a Collective is Our Thoughts."* One must come up here to Comprehend this Fact. But, before I continue, let me make this Clear, and I mean write it 50 Times if Necessary, it is absolutely our Power = What others Think, even if its about us, *is None of Our Business!"* When we concern ourselves with another Thoughts we place both feet in Quicksand, because, we are "Giving them our Thoughts, is allowing them to choose 'what they are' and 'how they are going to Feel', and that places us at another's Mercy, gives them complete control of us, and is how we get Manipulated and Emotionally Abused. Particularly if that Individual is a "Narcissist Personality Disorder/NPD", and there are 1 in 30 that are disgnosable under the "NPD/Cluster-B" Umbrella. Do not give your Power away, not to another person, family member, friend, Boss, Partner, or "Mainstream News Media, aka Fox News". Now, (Thoughts + Feelings + Focus) + Knowing Believing X (Conscious Application of Thoughts + Higher Mind) = Mastering the "Universal Law of Attraction/LOA" (this is Science/Quantum Physics and Absolute Fact, not Philosophy nor New Age Doctrine, although it serves both well). *"If you want to understand the Universe, think in terms of:* *Energy -> Vibrattion -> Frequency"* - Nicola Tesla E = Thoughts, Feelings V = Focus F = Knowing-Believing and having Balanced Self-Love, Knowing we are Worthy of our Desires. We gain strength in this like any other subject, "Practice-Practice-Practice" It begins with Coonscious Thoughts. Moving from Ego-Mind and Subconscious, the reacting to area and where Fears, Prejudices, Judging of Self and Others, Insecurity, Thinking Ya Can't, Preoccupied with What Others Think over your own Head\Thoughts/Power, ... and generally all learned ideas that are not fact/accurate, the Negative Swamp. Time to Mature and gain in Wisdom, Time to establish "Your Value, Style, Character, and Your Cool Adult You". See yourself as what you desire to be and what You Respect, *and Everyone else will see you exactly like that!* Then you have no need to be sorry bout what they think. Begin with Post it Notes everywhere reminding self "Get My Conscious On" No Playing in Social Media Negative Pools, "allow them to Swamp if they want,, Your headed for the Beach in Monte Carlo!" Catch yourself when triggered to React, STOP and Apply Conscious Thought, then Respond, but often Best Response is None at All. Now you're on your way, if You want your Harmony and Successes, then You will Maintain this exercise until it becomes a Habit. Know that Thoughts Create 100K X More than any Action, and Most Beneficial Actions come after Thoughts that are Confident, Happy, Having Fun, LOL, and all Positive energy Feelings... Apply the Mind/Actions as described AFTER YOU GET YOUR THOUGHTS IN POSITIVE FREQUENCY MOTION, and You Will Manifest Your Dreams. Always hold Appreciation for the many blessings and positive receiving you experience. When you Pray/Asking for Something, do so as if already received, *the Universe is MATCHING YOUR THOUGHT ENERGIES.* Any Questions, ask or Buy my Traing Book, not yet written - (Just Planning it now), but you have 90% of the info here, FREE. And my Best Thoughts for You/Mastered in the LOA and Balanced in Harmony with Abundant "What-You-Want!" It is that easy and that real. ▪Meditate ▪Have Quiet Time each day ▪Release Negative Thoughts/Energies/Fears ▪Ground ▪Get in your Passion Sandbox ▪Feel Happy These are the remaing 10%, save 1 and most don't need that 1. ____________________________ *"Thought First, so your Head is Harmonized, Then Actions apply."* But, You are free to do it backwards ....

It is truly rare when something this action-packed is also this science-based, and coming from an actual renowned scientist rather than from a hack. Incredible.

[@sashajean837]

I felt like I had a neurodenerative disease but am now improving every month. In college I started smoking a lot of weed and doing other drugs and enjoyed making myself manic as I felt like it ignited very heightened abilities. This led to a life post-college where I was pushing extremes and tolerating domestic violence because my partner was willing to live an alternative lifestyle with me. The violence became very frequent and I lost my mind somewhat from the stress of it, combined with heavy pot use. Once I was able to get away from my abuser, I felt brain damaged. I thought I had amnesia. I couldn't focus on reading anymore. I couldn't remember basic things like my phone number. I started to have constant debilitating audio hallucinations and feared I was doomed to permanent schizophrenia. But I basically did what Huberman did to turn things around for himself. I focused on work/ working out, eating very healthy and didn't go out. I did this out of fear and realizing failure was not an option. I did this while having horrifying symptoms of schizophrenia. Gradually I got better and now a few years later, I am amazed at how I can speed read every day. I read about 20 articles a day quickly and retain all of the information. I never watch TV because it's not intellectually stimulating enough. I am in better shape than most people my age and don't have a desire to drink or even waste time on social media. ... For anyone that thinks they are doomed to suffer mental illness or feels damaged or sick, realize that not only can you heal your body and brain but can feel better and higher-functioning than you ever thought possible. Don't let others define you - even doctors will say schizophrenia is permanent and at best you can only manage the disease. This isn't true- do everything to help yourself heal and facilitate neuroplasticity by challenging your mind/ mind-body.

I've been through something very similar, (made me feel a bit relieved that I'm not alone) I always thought that this mindset we shared was something normal, but never realized how bizarre it made me feel life.. until getting sober; and I know how horrifying it is to have lived through hell (panic attacks almost every second of the day).

Diagnosed in 1987 with schizophrenia; immediately and for 35 years thereafter medicated with Depakote and Clozapine. Simply handed a prescription each visit. Never a reduction of meds or change in life patterns taught. I am so bright; the drugs reduced me to struggling with dusting a shelf; struggling with finding my car in the parking lot. I lost my life under those drugs. I lost my son; I lost what I could contribute to the world. 35 adult years is a lifetime. You guys are smart. So am I. ANYone out there hear me?

My life is so similar to this guy that it’s blowing my mind. Even down to the parental dynamics. I was a skateboarder who did poorly in high school but I actually got into drugs. Once I got clean, I focused my entire life on going back to school to get a degree in neuroscience. I graduated with honors but now can’t find a job in the field. I’ve literally been sitting in my house on unemployment for weeks wallowing in self pity and playing video games all day.

Don't give up on your dreams bro. Sometimes we have to work and do other things - make sacrifices, before being able to focus on what we truly want to grow in. Best wishes. Keep that dopamine system a bit free from those addictive behaviours, is a good step to become a bit more free to choose what you want. Mindfulness helps in taking a step back and stay interested in these activities which you think you like. Sometimes fulfilling our desires is more like a mental satisfactory process, while we don't necessarily feel better physically when we do these addictive things

Take ones small step, one simple action step that you were inspired to try while listening to Dr A speak his reality. What I do is ride my bike 60 minutes almost every day. Sometimes I ride 90 minutes and over the weekend I hit my highest ever 2 hours of riding. Another thing is, doesn’t it make sense that you are a little freaked out personally about your circumstances??

Some notes I made: • Nervous System: 1.Sensation (reception) 2.Perception (spotlight) 3.Emotions 4.Thoughts 5.Behaviour Change happens backwards. • Impatience - when internal metronome doesn't match with the external metronome. • Neuroplasticity - the ability of brain to adapt. Triggered by focus, happens during deep sleep. • Buffer your quitting instinct. Do that by having internal pushers of dopamine. Self rewards. • Slog through the discomfort. • To calm yourself down - physiological size, ie two simultaneous inhales and one exhale. • Focal vision - more focus, perception of the passing of time speeds up. Panoramic vision - vice versa. • Deliberate Decompression - Use panoramic visions between focal vision breaks, will help focus better later. • Lateral eye movement can help relieve stress. • The key is regulating between the autonomic nervous system, better oscillation between modes is focus and relaxation.

I have CPTSD so extreme agitation, etc. isn't really smart 100% of the time. Small steps are sometimes all you can do. We're already agitated and in pain, we don't need extreme amounts. People are comfortable being uncomfortable so we have to shake ourselves out of it, that's true. Change is uncomfortable and I had to go through a tough time changing my lazy, victim mentality like traits and how I was raised and abused daily for the first 23 years of my life to improve my life at 31.

[@ShawnJonesHellion]

Sleep is for people who have done extreme physical activity. I used to go without it without much issues till day 5 which I for me produces delerium but at the same time it offers a very hyper focused type of energy on core functions. The humans are being reprogrammed while sleeping; period. It's probably got to do with why most world leaders/those at the top of the pyramid are hyper intelligent (compared to others) an the one I seen discuss sleep said 3-4 hours for her (an none of them seem to be programmed to be hyper intelligent unless you point to knowing trump is orange or liberals are libtard so fast and completely is a sign they are excellent at learning) . Tho on the other side I've met a wasting DC hollywood star who merely worked for the top of the pyramid. When George soros or warren Buffet talk of taking naps I assume they don't sleep 8 hours at night.

[@samarthsingh8735]

My notes for the podcast (incomplete) 1. There are two main components in your control for when you want to change something in your life - focus and dopamine reward systems. 1.1. Dopamine centres are activated when you know you're on the right path and are progressing toward your goals. 1.2. Focus is developed through a sense of urgency and a sense of necessity 1.2.1. Urgency is developed when that internal metronome senses that your internal state is lacking with respect to the 'beat' of the external world. So the metronome is ramped it and now there is a tangible sense of urgency in your brain. 1.2.2. A sense of necessity is when your brain believes that either due to fear or desire it is essential to your evolutionary motives of survival and reproduction that you do something. 1.2.3. Something to be remembered also is that any activity that requires concentration comes through the release of norepinephrine(a form of adrenaline) that makes you feel a certain way - agitated, nervous, excited etc. depending on your perception of that sensation. Going through this gateway and treading on is essential to really accessing the dopamine centres which will further motivate you. 2. There is also a third component of behaviour change that is actually the second, coming in after activating concentration and before activation of dopamine systems. Since dopamine systems reward being on the right path and progressing on the right path, it's logical to actually have a path in the first place, which is the second component. The second component is the actual behaviour in question, and it in turn has 3 sub-components - 2.1 Duration of behaviour 2.2. Path of behaviour - meaning the actual thing that must be done 2.3. Outcome of behaviour - meaning the endgame of the behaviour.

“It’s very hard to control the mind with the mind.” -Andrew Huberman

[@MrManny075]

what is the mind do you know?

[@jesussalinas3947]

Googles Definition: @manny mo The mind is the set of faculties including cognitive aspects such as consciousness, imagination, perception, thinking, intelligence, judgement, language and memory, as well as noncognitive aspects such as emotion and instinct.

@@jesussalinas3947 Well most of what you mention is the brain works apart from consciousness, then who is conscious of the brain? you may say the mind, what is the mind? no one really knows so don't google it

“If they set a goal inside of their larger goal and self reward each one of those, they essentially have an infinite amount of energy to pursue those goal." Thankyou Dr. Andrew I can feel it.

[@MrValod818]

57:48 "How can I make sure that I continue to self-reward and have that drive and not rely on external rewards? - Give away all the external rewards" - That hits hard.

Huberman talks a lot about meditation and mindfulness, which I find really help me to combat times when my mind which wants me to do stupid things.

[@kathleendaily508]

[@teatonaz]

@@denise2169 - as we continue our work in mediation and mindfulness,... we find increased tendency to simply observe/notice our tendencies to want to do things that don’t service our higher selves. This increased ability to observe/notice in unattached fashion conserves our energies (& our nerves LOL) allowing for the increased focus he describes, among other benefits. I can always tell my ego is rearing it’s head when I’m resisting in some way (combating) “ what is “. Awareness/growth is increased by unattached (non-judgemental) observation.

[@koroglurustem1722]

I have seen thumbnail of this episode but avoided it thinking that these days there are a lot of dudes claiming to be gurus, so I don't need another self absorbed guru to babble about how great his methods are. Alas, I couldn't be further from truth of the matter. This guy is the hardcore scientist, research professor of neuroscience, that all other "gurus" refer to him and research of people like him. He has a ton of insights in its accurate scientific form. Love that! Kudos to him for surviving the descent into chaos and overcoming it.

Perseverance is so great, the ability to challenge yourself, know yourself and not make excuses! Btw I read dictionaries as a kid from beginning to end.

That quote at the end was profound- "I think it's clear that most people, young or old are content to be passive consumers and spend out their dopamine doing essentially meaningless activities. And consuming food and consuming air and light that is basically damaging to themselves and I don't think they care. I think our species, let's be fair, is probably divided into those that are really going to try and maximize on this gift of neuroplasticity. We're the only species that has neuroplasticity throughout their lifespan. And that neuroplasticity and childhood last as long as it does as a function of our total lifespan, that's incredible. So we were gifted this and I think some people leverage it and take advantage of it and other people don't." -Neuroscientist Dr. Andrew Huberman
