The Celebration has to be less than the pursuit. This part was brilliant

[@g-knowledgetapas2123]

Yes..i got it

[@newedenatmospheres8404]

Dude I love this

[@averageboy5]

I think the actual message rather was “to celebrate the pursuit more than win”

[@KKJournals]

This is why after a great trip we always feel a little sad? Thank you for the video

[@hasstahmasebi4138]

Seeking is the reward ❤

[@medicalpilates]

Thank you, dear Prof. Andrew Huberman!

[@quake2u]

People don't realize that when they're staring or surfing their phone of computer they are look for dopamine. After you've seen everything and you keep looking for a spark of interest ,It's time to stop.

[@purepotentialityNow]

This Was Fabulous 😊😊😊 Thank You

[@amandavictoriasewell7393]

Fascinating. So helpful xx Thank you. I have difficulty motivating myself. Now I understand!

[@Denise-cb3et]

I came up with a totally natural way of relieving depression. It also helps to wake me up which is why I did it in the first place. You know how you can feel where your organs are, you can also feel where your brain is. Just feel where your brain is and imagine something going through your brain from the beginning to the back slowly. I imagine it like an MRI scan. I'm thinking that it may trigger the areas of the brain responsible for serotonin and/or endorphins. Of the 4 other people I taught this to, it works for 2 of them. The other 2 said they couldn't imagine something going through their brain. One said it gets rid of her anxiety. And I have also done it for stress.

[@YSLRD]

Way cool! I'm tryin' it.

[@meantares]

This video is so insightful and I can relate very strongly to this. Would have been great to have had more detailed information beyond what‘s been said here.

[@cozmicfreak]

Andrew huberman has a KZbin channel with hour long podcasts talking in depth about these topics, he has a podcast talking about this very topic very in depth for about an hour or more

[@user-lh9to1ju6y]

Incredible and brilliantly explained, I really did appreciate how he just described my ways.🙂 So true, to wait and reset. Thanks for the video.

[@evajawidzk2068]

Wow just the info i was looking for.

[@grmalinda6251]

The reward is a new pursuit perhaps at a more challenging level.

[@newday2637]

Thank you , thinking about how you explain it makes a great deal of sense. By celebrating the reward too much , I can see setting yourself up for failure. I have many projects to tackle and going to use your theory, to keep motivated to get them all done... Sure going to try

[@matusjurcik6974]

The principal is every domanine spike follow dopamine low. Also with constant dopamine boosting u can worn out your dopamine receptors which need to be recovered.

[@RespireOfficial]

What concept would you like to see Dr. Huberman discuss in the next video?

[@rohitbarman7642]

Intense focus

[@irap21]

Other mediators such as serotonin, oxytocin, endorphins, pathways. I follow your wonderful lessons

[@nsideddice]

Having a video on how to take practical and actionable steps to put this information into practice. He does a great job explaining the science. The videos are insightful, but I am often left with a feeling of "How do I apply this?"

[@eddiepigg5333]

I’m 58 years of age and I have the motivation of a dead slug. I feel like I’ve done about everything that I have set out to do. I now feel like I’m just waiting around to die.

[@randyheard5474]

Are you serious?

[@lottytaylor572]

Yep, im 60 & feel the same sadly

[@Julie-jl7cc]

Don’t give up. I pray that you receive motivation.

[@randyheard5474]

Set some new goals, work part time or full time help someone

[@johnsposato5632]

I think when we're younger we're motivated by the need to take care of others who are dependent or interconnected with us: our spouses, our children, infirm parents. As those motivators dwindle away, we wonder what our purpose in life is. I think the solution is to look at how we can put our skills to work in service to others. As the people who used to need us need us no longer or are no longer around, we need to find others to whom we can be of service: our church, our community, our neighborhood.

[@matasd1988]

This guy is so smart! Thanks bro your videos helped me a lot! Merry xmass!

[@jamesmoran7511]

Congratulations, you are a wreak willed creature that requires the approval of others to feel good.

[@user-hu5nh2cx9j]

{If We give people a taste of Our mercy then take it away from them, they become utterly desperate, ungrateful. But if We give them a taste of prosperity after being touched with adversity, they say, “My ills are gone,” and become totally prideful and boastful, except those who patiently endure and do good. It is they who will have forgiveness and a mighty reward.}

[@traceepetoskey3651]

Is there a video where he explains this in more detail? I feel like I'm almost understanding but not quite.

[@damo1728]

[@johnsposato5632]

Yes! I understand what he's saying, but, on a practical level, how do you do it? How do you make the pursuit more rewarding than actually reaching the goal? Are there any little psychological "tricks" to help you do that?

[@cheesy3746]

[@JRoseBooks]

@@johnsposato5632For ME, I’ve learned rewards at the end don’t work for me. So, I’ve been experimenting with rewarding myself WHILE doing hard/boring tasks-with food like ice cream and junky chips. Seems to be working so far! (I have ADHD/executive dysfunction, so I need all the help I can get sometimes) Note: I still make sure to eat fiber before the carbs, to avoid that nasty glucose spike/crash later.

[@Sacredfiremusic]

Wow. This was very enlightening 😊 Thanks!

My man Dr huberMAN

[@evelynmahoney3569]

I wouldn't say, "The pursuit is the reward," because a reward implies some kind of prize or benefit received for having done something AFTER you've done it. My amateur view: The pursuit is the challenge we're compelled to sink our teeth into. Yes, the reward is a carrot on a string, but it's real purpose only goes so far as it serves to motivate us. In other words, it's bait. It's the incentive that triggers the drive to pursue, and it's what challenges us into motion. You may believe that you REALLY want that carrot, but the real pleasure is the desire itself. The desire to obtain it or achieve it, the excitement of believing it possible, mustering the determination to see if it is REALLY doable, and setting out to prove it, to see it come true - that's what it's really about. Overcoming obstacles along the way, knocking out the steps necessary, gaining confidence, feeling pleased with your progress, and a growing sense of self-assurance that you're almost there. Once u prevail, it feels really good, but not because the trophy in your hand is so valuable or beautiful. What makes you feel so good in that moment is that you were able to do what it took to successfully complete the journey, and you did it! Mother nature's way of getting us going, likely imperative to our survival, though little do we know, and so much we may yet have to learn.

Margin of health that extra reserve of energy that needs to be stored to maintain health and to draw from in extreme sometimes literal life and death moments is depleted i believe after your extreme win and part of your reset or need to reset

[@averageboy5]

Isn’t celebrating pursuits more than wins the thing that keeps us in a constant state of discovery but showing zero results? Goals to me are the metric or anchor that keeps us from over analyzing and hence going astray to the point “your input ceases to be commensurate with output” aka non-performers/ procrastinators 4:10

Great suggestion. I’ll look into it and see if he has anything to say about it. Thank you!

Omg this is my life in 8 minutes. I always thought is was hormones around that time of the month.

[@nsideddice]

Are there any resources on practical steps one would take to train themselves on making the pursuit the reward and maintaining consistent levels of dopamine?

[@knowledgemusiclaughsjesus]

I think what I took from it is dopamine isn't consistent and needs some time to reset, praise yourself for effort not the achievement too much, like the other day going to pick up my new number plates for my car registration after getting the roadworthy certificate I was enjoying myself on the trip there and back joking with strangers and enjoying the scenery and when I got back to the mechanics to put the plates on I was then hit with the bill for the repairs to get the roadworthy so had forgotten how much fun I had just picking up the number plates but after this video realised it was the persuit that gave me the pleasure not finishing it,the bill helped me see it but I knew the bill was coming anyways, pretty boring story but makes sense now in a way, maybe just try getting yourself some small wins then praising yourself for the effort to start with?

[@celesteburley4035]

Having ADHD, I'm just learning has to do with a biological Dopamine deficiency. Dr. Huberman: Could you speak to that issue? Thank you very much.

[@carolsaia7401]

Look into supplements and herbs... Tyrosine? Ginsengs?

i have low testosterone and i'm only 48..............taking testosterone is risky for me because I already have thicker blood, doctors think i would be ok as long as i stay on blood thinners. thoughts? low motivation low libido.

[@sncnutrition7118]

Give blood when hemocrit gets higher than 52. Take baby aspirin at bedtime. Hydrate w water. Take Naringin pill at dinner , this can lower hemocrit by 2 points. Alot depends on ur health history. Eat clean.

Then again, some people just like the sound of their own voice.

[@AnaA-ku2yt]

Sort of.... but owning that house IS the big goal, the big win, the forever enjoyment. Getting there may be fun, or may be a bitch. I don't buy into this philosophy. It we didn't get the goals and the happiness they bring there would NEVER ever be any joy along the path. The pursuit NEVER brings the fullness that goal completion DOES. Folks, take all videos as entertainment, not to live by. Form your own opinions. Don't be sheep, simply following others. Use your own brain. Get out there, take action, give up weed and other drugs, and be an active contributor to life.

Talk about spiritual energy ANDREW. Wearing BLACK attracts dark negative energy, try wearing white or light colors and see how more uplifted you feel.
