A 1-euro coin and a piece of chocolate changed my life. Here’s a technique I implemented based on Andrew's advice, which drastically boosted my productivity and motivation. When I want to build a habit or tackle a long task, I break it down into mini-goals (for example, if I need to write 2,000 words, I set milestones at every 500 words). After reaching each milestone, I flip a coin. If it lands on heads, I reward myself with a small piece of chocolate to trigger a dopamine spike and create a habit-forming reward. If it lands on tails, I keep going until the next milestone. Additionally, during challenging moments, I mentally repeat, "This is tough, but I'm making progress toward my goal, and I love that. The effects were immediate: I can now create habits incredibly easily, and most importantly, I want to do these tasks, even if they’re difficult and require effort. Thanks, Andrew! (Sorry for my English, it’s not my first language.)

Cynicism is the typical human response to having been hurt in the past, especially when you've been naïve. Some way protective. Mahalo for this perspective to somehow still navigate the real world ecology of limited economies. Post traumatic growth indeed.

I can readily admit that I've become quite a cynical individual since graduating college in 2012. Life has not been great in any department of what we would consider "personal growth and development," and I definitely have difficulty shaking all of the perceived wrongs and injustices done unto me. I know I'm not alone in this either. Life just doesn't go smoothly for a lot of us and we lose our joy and compassion when we feel left out and isolated.

I just want to share that listening to this amazing conversation I went on a run for the first time. I suffer from quite severe allergies and I never picked up running or cardio exercise, I much prefer strength training. And yet I want to better my lungs, strengthen my "achille's heel" so to speak. I frequently go on walks, and frequently on my walks I would feel the urge to just start running. But I never did because of my aforementioned problems. But today... this whole week I wanted to give up any previously known notion on who I am and what I'm like. And see where giving myself total freedom to be leads me. Well today when I was on my walk I felt the usual urge to start running. I was listening to this podcast. Growth-mindset. Relaxing and encouraging voices. I thought "I could really get in the zone while listening to this. I could go in flow." So I went home, swapped my tote bag for a fanny pack and... went running! As expected I'm not stellar at it, and I immediately get heavy breathing, from the outside you'd think I'm about fall to the ground. But on the inside it felt really good. I went farther then I'd thought. And it felt so good. I'm actually positively surprised by myself, and I did go into flow. There was one moment when I felt like my body was moving on its own. I looked around and saw the world moving but I didn't feel strain, it was like sitting in a car. I look forward to running again. I think this podcast provided me with a positive environment to try something new.

TLDR: Try asking him to watch this or something similar of his choice alone since he seems more depressed than necessary. Unhinged high-detail version below: If you're breathing down his neck that would decrease any odds of him watching/ committing to anything personal. Especially if you're one of the reasons he's cynical, he will go out of his way to not take any advice from you for fear of any of your past percieved incompetence/ naivety causing harm to him again should he listen. If you're more interested in showing him you're right and he's wrong, you should go about it the same way again and breathe down his neck. If you're more interested in getting him to grow, tell him you think he's in a worse mood than he needs to be in and ask him to watch this or something else of a similar vein from a reputable source to truly check if he's cynical, realist or anything else. Ask him as a favour, don't tell him to or try to sell him on it. You can elaborate that if there's a mistake in his logic and he values being a realist, he will detect and correct it which can only be usefull and if his logic is solid, then he will only waste a few hours of his day without there being anything to learn. Give him space to grow *if he wants to.* Shoving your beliefs down others' throat is a surefire way to get them to do the exact opposite, look-up "reactance" as an emotional response. Think someone going out of their way to eat meat because of an annoying vegan. And lastly, we have a saying in my country that goes like this: "You can take by force, but you cannot give by force." So keep in mind that it's not up to you how things work-out for your fam, all you can really do is support them and give them the space to grow themselves if they so choose. Do let him know you worry. And do let him know that you think he's capable of solving his problems himself and you'd like to help in any way you can if he asks. I had these problems with me own mum and this is my best attempt at articulating what worked and what didn't so you might find something usefull here. Good luck out there!

I have felt so much better about the data I have heard here. I had been convinced that thinking positive about the majority of people and intentions are plain wrong mainly because of circumstances in the last ten years. It's hard work to remain a sceptic and I was starting to think that wanting to look at more detail before I make a conclusion was the reason of my inefficiency. I do need to re examine my cynicism of institutions. I absolutely loved this episode and it was unexpectedly enriching and as always enlightening. Still cannot thank you enough for your interest to engage the public in so much high quality research we would not have access to if it wasn't for this podcast.

A few weeks ago, the sermon at church recalled the plight of the Corinthian church and the cynicism which had taken over the community. I started thinking at that time, due to a number of circumstances in my life to include the current political climate, that I too, had become a cynic. The timeliness of this podcast for me was excellent. I listened to the full two hours and plan to purchase Dr Zaki book. What I appreciated was not just the information but also the actionable items which Dr Zaki has implemented in his own life. I so appreciated his insight into the real v perceived differences between Republicans and Democrats. I honestly wish he were a guest on the cable news networks to talk about the fact that we really aren't that far apart....but then the cynic in me says networks are more concerned with ratings...if it bleeds it leads.....

This has made me truly look at how I interact on social media. I’ve recently typed some things I’m not proud of and it’s because of this cynicism and seeing everyone who disagrees as an existential threat. I have a history of CPTSD and I believe when engaged in toxic encounters online my fight or flight mechanisms get triggered and I’ll convince myself that I’m actually fighting for my life over an ideological disagreement.

Inner child work is surprisingly good at addressing this. I’m betting you’ve had your fight for your reality since being little. This is a huge issue for many and is very painful being in a society that doesn’t listen to the hyper aware “tribesman” warning of the dangers. The thing about us is we tend to only see danger and it becomes a downer and we depress ourselves with this reality. I hear balance isn’t a thing…but a gratitude journal is. It’s a BRAIN balance tool for my pattern machine in my noggin’ (we seek what we look for) we are not wrong…but only half right. lol.

Such beautiful timing for me to see this video. I struggle with finding those who share the same prospects and wisdom, and this video helps me with the learning response I’m looking for within that kind of collaboration. I hadn’t felt lonely until I released the connections that were unhealthy in nature. I only entertained distractions because I was clinging to what was comfortable. But I will always long to see others the way they are meant to be seen under the exception that I’m not neglecting my own needs first. I see myself, I just hope one day that I can feel seen. Not because it must be transactional, but because I’m meant to have loving connections. I know it won’t feel so one sided forever.

I’m breaking out of certain observed patterns that have negatively manifested as I was being raised and have never really felt like I’ve had a proper teacher/educator. I’ve learned a lot through observing what was wrong, and by making my own mistakes. I’ve narrowed through that on what is right. I long to expand and I have so much information at my finger tips, but I can’t deny the absence of this stimulating connection feels unsubstantial and lackluster. I have to remind myself constantly that I’m not obtuse. Sometimes you need to write it all out waiting for ur sleep meds to kick in on a KZbin comment section. The rest will eventually come through this new door I’ve opened. Just gotta prop it up somehow.

I definitely needed this, especially since I'm still in undergrad and deal with a lot of "coattail riders" during group projects and whatnot. I also carry a tremendous amount of childhood trauma on my shoulders as I come from a broken family, so I've become extremely cynical to the point that I struggle to believe good things even when they're 1000% true. Through therapy and my own hard work, I've healed a lot from my past. But, because I don't let people in very often (if at all... I can't even remember the last time I invited a friend over to my house, and I don't have many friends to begin with), and I somehow get paired up with the laziest students in my classes for group projects every time, I'm very lonely and alone. Hardworking, stubborn, yet alone and not very fulfilled. This podcast came at a perfect time. I'll definitely be chewing on it a lot.

I've always referred to myself as an optimistic cynic but this interview makes me consider whether I should rework that title. I don't necessarily think that people are inherently good or bad, but more so that it can be very easy for people to get corrupted by their circumstances and further perpetuate hurtful behavior. Basically there is an inherent cost to any level of trust and the cost only increases in dangerous environment, but the only way to decrease the cost is for more people to be willing and able to trust. I actually consider the strength of an individual by how much they are able to trust others even in adverse situations. I use this as a metric to push myself to be a more trusting person because I've seen that cooperative strategies are optimal in any environment, but it often takes work to overcome a lack of trust stemming from past betrayals.

I find both sides to be very defensive with walls that have no door to pass information through. My mother used to say that if we couldn't sit down at the table and discuss our grievances we would never have peace in the family. My dad actually tape recorded some of these discussions over the years. Everyone had their turn to speak and compromise was highly encouraged. It doesn't create a utopia, but it discourages separation and resentments.

For myself who wakes to an alarm clock, I wonder how many minutes or hours did I cut my sleep short? Then I think about the compounding loss of REM sleep in humans over days, weeks, months, and years. From your teachings, we also know REM sleep takes place more in the second half of the night. I wonder if there is a connection between cynicism and the compounding loss of REM sleep.

I love the idea of challenging our core beliefs and thinking carefully about the information we take in and about how it shapes our view of the world. But I've had trouble thinking of what those beliefs would even be, since some may be so deeply ingrained that I don't even see them as "beliefs" (e.g.: people are good and bad - if I had never heard that this may not be true, I would've potentially never challenged it and seen the possibility that it isn't an universal truth). So, I'm wondering if you could talk about and give examples of these societal level ideas that we should be more critical of, and/or perhaps how to ask ourselves the right questions in order to get to these core beliefs. Thank you!

Intellectual humility. I love that and think it applies to not only overcoming cynicism but so many other things in life. Great podcast, as usual.

As a researcher interested in the field of political economy and political behavior, I really appreciated Dr. Zaki’s tips on cultivating a “researcher” mindset in everyday life. Also, I will never again feel less intelligent just because I am a nice and approachable person. My only grain of skepticism comes from the potential social-desirability bias that may arise in surveys like those conducted by Dr. Zaki. People often want to appear as good or reasonable in the eyes of the researcher, so they may tend to give more moderate answers to controversial questions. I would have loved to hear how Dr. Zaki addresses this potential bias in his research.

wow, wow, wow! I came here after hearing Dr. Zaki's appearance on The Happiness Lab podcast, and may I just say wow! This was an excellent watch, Dr. Huberman. Thank you for asking those questions on how to combat cynicism in practical ways... very helpful. In a world filled with cynicism, my hope always lies with you scientists!

Please take a look at having Matt Taibbi on the podcast. At around the 2-hour mark you talk about how media is possibly involved in how we look at one another. Matt wrote a book called hate Inc a couple years ago well before he was given the Twitter files. It's all about how the media has evolved through the years and is used to Stoke division because of profits.

I have a compelling proposal for Dr. Huberman❤ . One topic that has not yet been covered is reputation management and how to rebuild it when the news media has completely distorted someone’s professional image, making it tremendously difficult to secure a valuable job. This scenario is increasingly common, and it would be especially useful to explore ways to prevent it.😊😊

Great episode! Everyone needed to hear this to learn more about themselves .. I was separated from my parents as a child, growing up without parental guidance, so I developed a complex attachment style. In a positive way, I could easily learn to adapt to different circumstances, experiencing both cynical and passive, spiritual states. In conclusion, I felt that I was a happier person when in a state of gratitude - trying to see good intentions in people , so I chose to stay that way. PEACE ✌️ PS. I learnt that teamwork would never work if one doesn’t know how to trust .. for long-term gain, we need to learn to trust by getting rid of fears of being vulnerable and learn how to cooperate

Ohhh man- love this; right in my area of curiosity and passion 💯✅🙏🙏🤗 So much to unpack here 🤯 For what is worth it: It’s true- Even though I am very good in what I do, I’ve been told that people cant take me ‘seriously’ because I am empathetic and always trying to be kind! But I refuse to sell my soul and all I stand for Just to be seen as a ‘serious expert’(which I am btw) just to appease people who don’t value truth trust and loyalty but are always narrow minded in their views!👏

@reutloria9737 2 ай бұрын

Thank you both so much! I agree and also wanted to add. I feel that the underlying cause of cynicism is actually being very vulnerable and sensitive in a harsh environment or one that doesn't support and nourish that sensitivity and threatens it somehow. As you said, it's a defense mechanism, but i wanted to emphasize it points on a highly sensitive individual who lost faith in the people around him to be as sensitive too. Which is realistic when you are much more sensitive than the average. I think it helps to understand it makes us more empathetic and less cynical towards cynicism. That's alreafy a good remedy for all of us. For those who are very sensitive and feel most others are not as sensitive and dealing with them requires protecting one's sensitivity, its good to atune to see that that's exactly the reason you meet the external hard shell of people instead of the soft interrior that wants to connect. Simply because many of us are soft inside and created a tough separating exteriors so we won't get hurt or so we can manage life when it's more difficult. And then we learn when it's safe to open up and trust and when not. But before we can differentiate, we generalize to allow us to stay protected while we learn. We just need to realize it's an intermediate stage and not stay in the generalization mode to either direction. It is difficult to hold the complexity of ourselves and life and really feel comfortable with the polarities and middle all together as a part of the whole. It takes time to grow to be able to hold it all together and integrate.

Andrew, I thoroughly enjoyed this episode. Thank you and Jamil for your insightful discussion. Frankly, many avoid delving into or sharing this kind of important knowledge. Throughout the episode, I had numerous lightbulb moments. One thing that stood out to me-something I’ve always sensed but now see more clearly-is how the extremes on both ends seem to hold most of the power. Those of us in the middle, the 80%, feel caught between these radical, self-serving factions? My follow up question is, how can the 80% push back against the 20% who wield so much influence, power and quite frankly rains to the carriage? From the word, Dr. Zaki is beautifully performing seems to indicate that It doesn’t matter who’s in power it’s always one of the 10% on either end. Keep taking us down these horrible paths to each end of the spectrum. Which seems to be a cycle that goes over and over and over. When it appears that 80% of us just want to live happy prosperous lives. Btw this is shock and awe for me. ❤

Thank you so much for what you are doing! Such a great interview with Dr. Zaki about how powerful and important our mindset truly is in our daily lives. Absolutely will be recommending and sharing not just this interview, but also your work through this podcast. This was my second interview to watch and now I'm hooked. Now my dilemma is carving out the time to not just listen, but really actively listen to each podcast past and future.

Empirically, I find the 80/20 rule to be true. I have experienced multiple situations, where peers say they want more collaboration, but their actions say otherwise.
