How to Find Your Purpose in Life

[@SalvationLife]

We love you, Andrew Huberman! I hope you have a great day.

[@azmidlyf]

That description was fantastic. When you are in the right place, you have a feeling of ease. Love the podcast Dr. H.

Thanks

At first, I thought it was interesting how starkly Dr Chichilnisky's method and description of finding purpose differed from David Goggins's, but then I realized that they have more in common than not. I think the key to discovering your purpose truly rests in the "Know thyself, be thyself, love thyself" aphorisms. Though Goggins's methods are unorthodox, he always says that one doesn't know themself until they're willing to face their demons (know thyself), that having the ability to be himself at all times without shame is liberating (be thyself), and that he learned to respect himself through the challenges he regularly overcomes (love thyself.)

[@HelenThomasCreativeHealer]

Totally agree. Some people struggle with this more than others. Know, be and love thyself have taken me 10 + years of deep introspection, heartfullness (far more powerful for me than mindfulness) and energy healing. I'm not externally hugely different (only to my husband who notices how I've changed) but internally I'm transformed.

I wish Huberman lab would make a "how to find your purpose" toolkit.

[@tonilucas4464]

I love this clip. I have watched many of your episodes and this really spoke to me. He is a man after my own heart. I’m still trying to find my purpose, but I’m trying to live life from the heart and learning to love myself. I really love this episode. Thank you.

[@chayblay]

New epidsode this week focuses on finding your purpose with a new guest (Dr. James Hollis, not Robert Greene, both of which are good, but the toolkit would be even better)

[@moafjonsson]

I second this

[@francisowiredu9549]

I believe the "ease" is a reflection of an in built ability and motivation. Brilliant👌

[@Pari991-y3o]

Dr. Huberman, if you knew the scale of your work, you’d be shocked.! Originally, I’m an Iranian, and I know people have created couple of pages under the name of “Persian Andrew Huberman” trying to translate your messages in Persian…and your Persian reels are pretty famous…we adore you, appreciate you and love you so much.

[@christyforest141]

Know yourself. Be yourself. Love yourself. Thank you for this amazing, insightful, and wisdom-contained clip. This is my favorite clip from you! Thank you so much and have a fantastic day :)

[@coastaljan6193]

What a gift to watch two gifted men share their insights with each other and the audience at large. Your genuine respect and care for each other brought me to tears at the end of the broadcast. What a great way to head out for my work day. Many thanks to both of you.

What an absolutely fascinating person he is. Great interview.

[@nancychace8619]

Excellent discussion, interesting story. You really hit on something important for me when you talked about "know thyself, be thyself, love thyself". That's important for everybody. But in my personal experience I have often felt I've been precluded from being myself b/c of others' agendas, such as money. When you've been precluded from fulfilling your potential something is truly amiss that needs to be addressed. If you aren't allowed to be yourself, you're not going to get anywhere, nor anyone around you or folks you might work with. If you wake up one day and don't know who you are, you (and everyone else around you) might as well hang it up. In a hurry going nowhere. It's crucial for people to be allowed to "be themselves." It's a distinct possibility that those who would carelessly and thoughtlessly force their agendas on others lives to such an extent are grappling with the "love thyself" component. Imo and experience other animals do experience music and rhythm. Maybe they simply can't express it as easily as humans can. Certainly they (as we) are all part of the rhythm of nature. Have to laugh at his lack of neuroplasticity with respect to coffee. My neurons traverse a very well ingrained trail to coffee as well. Dr. Chichilnisky, you're doing quite well to be able to get going on only one cup and 10 minutes in the mornings. For me it often takes 2! Thank you for sharing this thoughtful discussion.

Thanks to the Huberman Team!!🎉

[@eugenedryga5241]

amazing. i wish every guest shared their vision on that

[@ConsciousOriginals]

Thanks for sharing this. I love what EJ Chichilnisky shared in this clip.

[@felicia6438]

Being a scientist was cool, but I never found it super fulfilling. I had gotten more joy out of waiting tables & bartending weddings. Did some really interesting stuff working for the government & now debating PA / med school for the 'next big thing' & maybe law school after that... It's so hard to find something that keeps my interest, long-term

[@RTL2L]

Great dialogue! Thank you!

[@ewamichalek2491]

Fantastic, I definitely want to watch the full episode. Thank you for sharing!

Beautiful and so true

[@ibillwilson]

When I'm not doing the right thing or heading the right direction, the ease dissipates. I haven't always realized that right away, I guess because I assumed there was something wrong with me... an underlying belief that I am exceedingly capable of snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. When I do finally realize it, start making changes, and somehow get re-oriented properly, the ease returns. Except it's more than ease, at least to me; it seems like a little bit of apprehension but buoyed by an uplifting sense of discovery waiting to happen. Like... this is a little bit scary, but at the same time, I know that this is *exactly* what I am supposed to be doing at this moment, that this new direction is the only one that makes any sense at all. The bravery to face that fear comes naturally, and it brings an energy and confidence that was missing or had disappeared. Maybe it's a dopamine thing, like the pursuit brings a joy with it.

Please can somebody tell me what’s in Andrew’s glass I wanna drink it so bad

[@moafjonsson]

What should you do if you had the "i hate learning" experience as you early on was forced to learn things you didn't want to (forced to sit still as someone who it turned out has adhd and a lower back problem that gets worse with sitting for more than half an hour) but want to learn how to love to study and learn? Right now I only learn things during procrastination because my only motivator is stress

[@Mariel_M721]

You are a beautiful human AH, whatever you are going through, doesn't define who u really are. If u r trying to find yourself, do it by conquering yourself first instead of conquering external goals, whether career or woman, you will have your answer if u do so. with the purest intention to heal, you will be guided safely, and u will feel safe and complete.

[@melvinshuster]

Thanks!

[@Enzana88]

Dr. Huberman, can you invite Dr. Grant Mcfertridge (Peak States Therapy) to interview please? but probably you can read one of his books and if you find his work interesting only then you can decide to invite him or not. Thank you

Song and dance is frequency, dancing and song speaks deep in to the human soul and subconscious. ☺️ dance and music is also used to communicate with the spirits, guides, ancestors and also the self. I grew up poor, I always wanted to be a ballet dancer. Due to lack of money my mom couldn’t afford it 😢so i was never able to study it. I started learning ballet 🩰 until I got older so I couldn’t really do it professionally. Must start early in youth to be professional, but every time I danced and listen to music it’s like I went def and I could t hear anything besides the music and just feel my body flowing in space 😂

Can a person "Change" in its real sense? Superficially may be yes, but deep down, we can't manipulate genes.....we can influence though, in a limited manner, like Flexibility!

[@Eflodur]

According do epigenetics gen expression can change by things like dramatic life events chronic stress diseases.

[@jayachandranthampi4807]

@@Eflodur yes, but only as Epigenetic influence in Limited ways - influence in ways how gene expression happens. If we dint get food, naturally one will remain thin. That's however not a genetic change.

[@ipreferheaven3861]

That’s in The Catholic Catechism we learnt in grade two or three!!! The purpose of life is to Know God, Love God and Serve that you can be with him in all eternity.

[@matthewtenney2898]

Purpose is defined as the reason for existence. "Purpose of life" assumes and requires a Creator whom we commonly call God. You have found something to do in life that satisfies you but that's not your purpose. Our purpose is to seek the One who gave us our talents, abilities and our need for Him.

What kind of yoga he said

[@urveshtarpara]

He said Ashtang yoga. basically an Indian yoga practice or you can tell the exercise which was invented by a great person named Mahrshi Patanjali. And this yoga helps you not only physically but it helps you mentally also. If you are interested in that then you should read about Maharshi Patanjali a great Indian Rishi.

[@jb-vs2ck]

I really wish Dr Huberman would talk less and let the guest talk much more. I feel this way about a lot of his interviews. I really wish I could hear less of him and more of his incredible guests.
