One of the things I've implemented is using the supplementation of magnesium threonate, l-theanine & apigenin for better sleep. All three of these supplements were suggested by Dr. Huberman. Although it took about a week, I find myself sleeping much more sound. The results have been immense from what I was having to deal with before!

I discovered Contentment, meaning I learned to stop allowing my emotions to get so excited all the time, so that I could maintain a normal feeling ALL OF THE TIME. What this does is that it keeps you from the spikes, the up high and the down crashes. It allows you to stay content all the time instead of the highs and lows. It's beautiful to live in Contentment because you find happiness wherever u are at in life. The key to finding this is to be a follower of Christ. This is what set me free for the last 15 years from all anxiety, depression, and other mental issues.

@jfdb596 ай бұрын
I am a father of a five year old little girl. Sometimes she'll complain she's bored and I straight up tell her "it's not my job to entertain you." People may think that's harsh. But what would be harsh is immediately pandering to that and thus preventing her from ever having to learn how to harness that deficit to create motivation for herself. If I leave her in that state for a bit, she always ends up pursuing some creative independent play and that's where she learns valuable things that will help her later. If I turn the tv on, she'll veg out for as long as I allow it and gain no benefit.

@Carloss86py2 жыл бұрын
Interesting idea.. I think both definition are true and complementary.. Addictive things or activities BOTH take you away from pain and give you pleasure. Videogames are an escape for example. They can allow me to get away from any real life pain I want to avoid. They also give me pleasure because they’re designed for that. They make me believe I’m accomplishing something, I’m climbing a ranking, or leveling up, achieving objectives, etc. Food can also do the same. They take you away from pain by making you feel better in the moment. Particularly very high sugar or high carbohidrate + high fat combination foods (junk food, icecream). I’m discovering just now at 35 years of age, that I have the personality type that I can’t do these things in moderation because I don’t self regulate well once I start. So a more effective strategy for me is to have zero access to these type of stuff. Videogames, tv series and anime, are the worst time sinks for me and binging on bad food is a similar process that isn’t a time sink but an energy sink, and makes my health poorer. Other people have other weak spots I suppose, like pornography, sex addiction, or alcohol, drugs, etc. It’s important to know yourself, know your potential weak spots (or things you can be tempted with) and beat them. Dominate them. They are in the way of you and your goals.

I do exactly what you mentioned for falling asleep. I put an audio book on low (it has to be interesting enough that my mind isn't wandering on it's own but not too interesting or it will keep me up). And I can easily just turn it off without look at anything once I realize I'm falling asleep. If I don't have something to listen to like that, I've found that if I focus on visualizing a pleasant scene in extreme detail I fall asleep without realizing it. I think what is happening is that by giving my mind something positive to focus on, it prevents all the thoughts that send me round and round thinking about a million things and keeping me awake.

Your method for falling asleep by listening to audiobooks or visualizing pleasant scenes is a great strategy. It effectively distracts the mind from racing thoughts, allowing for a smoother transition into sleep. This technique highlights the importance of creating a calming bedtime routine that helps manage anxiety and promotes relaxation.

I keep my dopamine levels fairly stable by rotating my interests. At 79, I'm still devoting at least 3 hours a day to learning new information which I may not ever use. It is the quest to learn a subject, that is the reward, not mastering or even using it, though I usually find some way to use what I learn.

@@loganmedia1142 A good guess would be how rewarded or motivated you feel to do things for the sake of doing it versus only focusing on rewards, or only doing things that offer rewards (pleasure) with little work. I.e., short term versus long term gratification. Obviously cannot be deduced perfectly and is subjective, but I know that my dopamine levels feel "stable" when I am able to get enjoyment and feel fulfilled from reading a book; I know they are unstable if nothing besides gaming or porn (cheap pleasures) feels interesting. Or if all I care about in the book is what I stand to gain from it. This does seem to divert from just a dopamine conversation, and it is easy to apply a spiritual interpretation. This could be more helpful, given the tenuousness of our own knowledge of our dopamine levels.

@@loganmedia1142Yes you can...if you were listening to Huberman, he is saying intrinsic motivation IS dopamine. "Dopamine is motivation, the craving, the drive to go out and seek new rewards, it's not the reward itself." This woman has successfully tied her dopamine circuit to the pursuit and not the reward. She exerts effort, experiences friction (learning), and this provides her with dopamine/motivation to continue to explore and learn. In contrast an inexhorbant amount of people are stuck in the loop of reaching for a "hit" of dopamine via instant gratification, which keeps you on the couch.

I was an achiever most of my life. I have numerous degrees and have made a lot of money. I had so much energy, so much drive; then my little brother died and I realized how much time I wasted behind a desk, mindlessly and meaninglessly toiling, toiling, toiling, busy work, busy work, busy work…time away from those I love. Now I am sad and bitter that I wasted so much time on superficial, meaningless work at the expense of time with my loved ones. In addition to the new view I have on wasting my time climbing the career ladder, I am struggling with guilt bc I can’t turn a blind eye towards the reality that so many people are suffering anymore. I live in one of the most beautiful and expensive places in the U.S., I travel, stay in fancy condos, eat exotic, expensive food, then I come home, go to the store and walk past people who are dirty, broken, homeless and begging for any handout. This breaks my heart. It causes me to feel guilt over my frivolous waste of money. I feel disgusting wearing expensive things. It feels wrong to care about “things.” So now, I am stuck; I don’t want to waste valuable time away from family doing meaningless busy work and I can’t, in good conscience, waste money on meaningless things. That being said, I am struggling to get a “dopamine” hit bc I can’t figure out a venue to pursue. I historically have met all my goals in life, but now I feel aimless, I don’t have a goal, I don’t have a purpose. I feel lost and lazy. I’m tired. I have slowed to a crawl. My older brother, who is a much higher achiever than me, is also struggling, but instead of slowing down, he has thrown himself into busy work, but it no longer brings him joy. Maybe I need to exercise more, maybe I need meds, maybe I need an ice bath. what do you think I need? I have felt this way for almost two years now.

First, I'm really sorry for your loss. Second, I want to say that behind these words I see a strong, potent and efficient person that is in the process of reevaluating her life, in the process of discovery of her deep, true identity as a human being. Who can now recognize what is important for her. I wouldn't say you are aimless - I read that you discovered that you have many assets, skills and experiences and also see what you need and what you're longing for. Maybe you don't know how to align these to determine your life path, but everything takes time. We grow things giving them active attention (persistent ignoring might be also a lot of energy so it's also about denying things). It's about reframing one's beliefs. You feel guilty of having things - say: I have wealth. What can I do with it? I'm worthy of having clothes I like. Do I like what I'm wearing? If I'm not identyfying with the clothes I wear, maybe I should give them away? What do I need right now to feel better? What can I do to make it happen? Remember that facts are only facts... they don't make you good or bad. Evaluation can only happen in context. In what context that you're putting on your self worth you think that you can't care about things? Also grief takes some time. Give yourself the time. Try to be gentle and loving to yourself, if you feel sorry for broken people, why don't you feel sorry for yourself? You're broken right now too... All your compassion you have for others - you deserve too. It's normal to feel a range of emotions in the aftermath such an event, including feelings of unworthiness. I don't want to sound offensive because I get it, loss of the loved one is the most terrible thing. But there's a helpful technique to ask oneself: how is this worst thing that happened to me, the best thing that happened to me? It helps with the reframing... Everything in our life has consequences and they are not only negative. I see you've been growing on your traumatic experience even if you don't feel like you should. But we humans are designed to constantly evolve. You now see that your family is a great value and you even mention the first task you could do. Reach out to your older brother and try to connect with him, bond. Having support is really important and you can provide support to each other, especially that you both know what you've been facing. Kari take care, I hope you feel better soon. I'm sure you're a wonderful, worthy, powerful person.

I recommend meditation! 60 days (and beyond) of sitting still, eyes closed for 1 hour a day and doing nothing both externally and internally (no need to focus on anything in particular) is guaranteed to reset your life. Look up Naval Ravikant’s suggestion about it. It will force you to sit still and take a closer look at your thoughts and emotions without running away. It will help you process the inbox of the events in your life while getting you closer to your true self (consciousness). When you get closer to inbox 0 (which doesn’t mean you don’t have thoughts or emotions), you will be closer to the present moment and understand what I mean. There is deep inner peace, happiness and joy to be experienced no matter the external circumstances. It just takes patience, forgiveness, love and compassion for yourself. Best of luck on your journey!

I think this will also help me with actually taking the steps towards my goals instead of letting the fear of not reaching the goal from inhibiting me from even starting.

idk if anyone felt this way but this talk is a game changer like no other talks on impact theory. In fact it directly goes against a lot of the talks dealing with grit, motivation, and drive, especially through maintaing a high dopamine state. This by far is the most practical, applicable and seemingly truest to nature. I've actually suffered from a constant dependency on dopamine spikes thru video games and youtube contents for too long. Resetting my baseline has completely changed the way I engage in my daily routine. With that said, props to Tom bilyeu for always coordinating and promoting such important messages, all while doing the personal research of the guests to make the most out of the talks.

Simply put, dopmaine detox starts from recognizing the harmful impact of dopamine spikes, or pleasure and relief. For me, the source of such spikes were from exciting music, videos, games, and anything that is entertaining or stimulating to the point that it impairs me from focusing on a rather boring and challenging task that requires mental exertion. To reset, I have addressed the dynamics of dopamine spike from pleasurable activities and deliberately avoided such stimulation for a prolonged time. The most apparent effect that made me think I was successfully detoxed is that I no longer felt the urge to seek the usual spikes, and I was able to commit to doing tasks that were too boring for me to focus on when my baseline was too high. From then on, I have always managed my spikes as Huberman discusses, and have controlled my dopamine state as if I would control my finances. Believe me, I have not seen anyone with a more messed up dopamine state prior to this discovery. This is truly a game changer, and I am sure that its something the major enterprises that depend on attracting constant attention from mass public are afraid of - people realizing the detriment of chasing dopamine spike without realizing its effects.

"It is the state of wanting that is the pleasurable act" is so true and matches up with Lacanian psychoanalysis and the concept of 'the lack' which says that it is not the object of our desire itself that gives us pleasure but the desire in and of itself, or the lack of the object, that makes us humans happy. Which is why you see such a high rate of unhappiness among people who are very wealthy and have everything they want, or among champions at the highest level of sport. They achieve their goals and rise to the top only to find out that now they have nothing else to reach towards. It was learning this (or really having explained to me, as I already knew it but couldn't conceptualize it) that really began to make me interested in psychoanalysis, Lacan and philosophy.

Wow! This is mentally & emotionally stimulating! The summary for me: Celebrating the end result over the pursuit is very dangerous to your excitement level. Fall in love with the process more. Thank you Dr. Andrew & Tom.

Wow... He just explained what lord Krishna said in Bhagavat Gita with scientific proof. "A superior strong and stable person is a person who is equal in both his victories and losses". He just explained human biology and chemistry...❤❤

I notice that I like a lot of change and new. My hack is instead of allowing myself to get bored and stop my research, I just switch back and forth between sources or modes. It's akin to the scaffolding technique that teachers use in the classroom. I don't need the reward of frequent breaks when I just switch it up.

I think this conversation just helped explain the divorce rate in cultures that embrace high turnover dating over marriage. People have become so intoxicated with the chase that the relationship itself feels anticlimactic.
@osirusj275 Жыл бұрын
if the women set standard, and if the men dont achieve it then will lose the women, if women did this, maybe less divorce, because it keeps the 'chase' alive...

To a degree, yes, but economic factors matter and should be considered. The idea that the women will "settle up" with a man that requires provision over a man who can provide is anathema and pushes women to keep hunting for a man who can check several boxes. On the other hand, men are more incentivized to continue the hunt and then as the sexual provocation of that interaction wears off, they drop that relationship in pursuit of the next conquest when the woman doesn't provide an offspring that they need to change their obligation to the relationship for.

Hey doc, please write a book about optimizing your brain. What you say about dopamine, motivation, and cheap pleasures is really important. I grew up clinging to every pleasure I could and became lazy and unmotivated. I'm putting the effort in now, but I wish what you talk about was more common knowledge fifteen years ago when I was a kid.

I legitimately appreciate the knowledge and advice. As someone who’s had major depressive disorder for 30 years and been on every medication on the planet also went broke trying to keep up with the recommended ketamine treatments at $600 a pop (one session rarely is life changing for many). Been through so much useless therapy including PTSD and trauma therapy nothing has helped. I’ve gone through the worst time in my life things are not feeling like there’s any hope. If I didn’t have kids I wouldn’t be here I can see how people can just give up. I even double checked my life insurance policy to make sure it would pay if … yea. It’s still just no way to live not wanting to be around enjoying nothing but forcing yourself to go through life on autopilot because you have children who depend on you and you don’t want to hurt them. If there’s anything that can help it should be shouted from the rooftops and promoted by every therapist. The level of evil and corruption is certainly one of the things I loathe most about the U.S.

The dopamine to time correlation is significant to me because after a masturbation session, time seems to go fastly by while being in a lulled state, but after not masturbating for a while - time seems to creep by due to a more awakened state of consciousness and I would assume I blink less.

Yeah, he always applies the talks to himself, which is fine and all, but it’s like his ego needs to be front and center.

Very very interesting. My personal motivation to do anything has always been super low. It is extremely hard for me to get out of bed without having something forcing me - it doesn't matter if I'm tested or not I will only shop for or cook food when I'm already quite hungry and so on and so forth. The only way I have achieved anything it's either with gritted teeth or by having done external force compelling me

Wow, this was the first time it clicked with me on what it means to "Enjoy the Process and forget about the end goal". Taking things one step at a time and not solely focusing on the goal is how to be successful. Would be interesting to see more actionable steps to get out of that mindset and into the correct mindset.

What a great talk - I didn't expect to listen to all of it - and I had to take breaks - but well worth the time. As a side note, I have been looking into my diet, and ended up reading more about Keto, and then found a video that associated insulin imbalance with most issues on a physical and mental / emotional level. So, as I listened to your talk, I looked up what effects dopamine - and then how that relates to insulin - and, there it was .... Studies at NYU Langone Medical Center found that insulin regulates dopamine release in the brain.

I have probably watched all of Andrew's interviews on YT by now, and have consumed somewhat 30 episodes of his podcast. In this one hour he managed to still convey new concepts that I have yet to have heard from him, and also old concepts in new ways.. he was so sharp and deliberate.. it may be one of his best appearances. And Tom, you are such a great interviewer, and also, just a funny dude ;)
