Thank you for that insight - really helpful. I've been cultivating gratitude lately, and learning about neurotransmitters, and hadn't really connected them in this way.
I'm grateful that threats of SA, other A, and so forth did not materialize. I'm grateful I am not in a wheelchair. I am grateful not to be in Gaza, or from Uvalde. Does that count?
Physical gratitude, perhaps, but spiritual gratitude transcends these physical effects and puts you at *_Cause._* This is the kind of cause which bends or breaks physical "law." 😎♥✝🇺🇸💯
absolutely ... there's a number of small useful things in this video and they seem to work together. How odd I pretty much clicked on this as a joke, wondering what channel had pushed the context around on huberman enough to make it seem like he was talking about a get-rich scheme. usually i'd never click on anything with that sort of completely bombastic title, i literally clicked out of a mildly sarcastic amusement, expecting something to mock
I keep trying but keep failing. I feel like in the effort I am getting closer. I control it much better now. Went from getting drunk 365 days a year to drinking on the weekends and don't get drunk. Still far from the goal. Still on the path. One day I will be alcohol free . Thanks for the inspiration
@@tomlavoie5227 I been where you are. 3,426 days clean and sober. I'm still a big asshole though. They can't take that from me. The before and after difference is like running in with an M60 machine gun, mowing down the whole jungle and laying waste to entire countryside vs being a sniper and using the assholism with precision if the need ever arises.
As a musician, I found out myself and lots of colleagues prefer the phase where you create alone at home and envision the end product to when you actually release your work and get compliments or rewards. The process itself becomes your reward…and life is good 🙂
That is metaphysical work, more specifically it is tapping into a future self and timeline which already exists and using resonance to bring yourself towards it. Time is not linear and all time happens at once, so you can experience past or future whenever you like... Just saying.
love this! as a music artist who is still building an audience and been working on my craft for years and releasing many songs and projects and content, i keep going because i enjoy the process itself, especially being in the studio recording and producing and mixing, but also learning to enjoy the marketing and visual content creation and business processes, also not getting too high on the awards and compliments as well as the hate and doubt, staying focused and calm and grounded in the storm of if all is what keeps us going, the mind is a powerful thing internally to control 🤯🙏🏽💎👨🏽🎨🎶
Maria Montessori identified a phenomenon called "false fatigue" - which is a time when children get agitated directly before doing some of their most creative activities. Often, adults will see children get restless and decide it's time for a story or a snack. Montessori said that the adult tendency to interject themselves precisely at the moment when children are about to push themselves and make their greatest effort is a huge mistake. As in the story of the gold stars ... children "learn" to stop engaging in the activity they were naturally drawn to ... because their internal feeling has been associated with and replaced by an imposed external response. Children learn to stop and wait to be entertained or fed when they feel a little bored - instead of the natural outcome of agitation that might otherwise motivate a child to play a game in a new way or create a new story.
@gormenfreeman499 No, but you had better find more appropriate things for him to take apart, including perhaps an old TV of his own with the electrical wire disabled.
This explains to me now why agitation and stress is the entry point to a more rewarding situation if you know that you're on the right path...thanks for these ...
I’m starting a new business for the first time in my life and it’s reassuring to hear that the anxiety, discomfort, and confusion that I am experiencing right now is not an anomaly but part of the growth process 😅
That’s why the colored belt systems in martial arts (mine is BJJ) … from white to black … are important to track and motivate someone to keep progressing and getting to the next level
Well, also years of BJJ and grappling, I see it differently. For me the dopamine comes more from submitting upperbelts, or before that, the process that led me to that sub. Or passing the impassible guard of that comp brown belt whose guard is invincible. That beats the owning of the colored piece of fabric that the BJJ world has constructed for years. Guys like Jsh Barnett, Sakurabba, Rashad Evans, Randy Couture, Eddi Bravo, to name a few, have a BJJ black belt, but they never wear it, cause they strive more for the acquisition of skills. Sakuraba even said he doesn't know how to tie his bjj black belt. Josh even confessed, he is a BJJ black belt, but it means shit to him cause catch wrestling is the way to go. For me, acquiring the new grappling skill that beats lower to upperbelt drives more dopamine in me than the owning of the materialistic tissue.
I love it “when people start realizing if they set the goals inside the larger goal and self reward each one of those, they essentially have an infinite amount of energy to pursue those goals.” Wow! Powerful stuff thank you and god bless.
He did mention sort of telling yourself “I’m doing well, I’m on the right path”… as a sort of internal reward…which makes sense… an external would be a coach telling a kid “at a boy! Good job!”… like the gold star on your drawing… if you rely on those to keep going you will stall out… if you have your own internal “gold star”… you should be able to keep going infinitely… unless you self sabotage and say “this isn’t worth it”
Learning how to code is the perfect illustration of this (very good) video : When you first try to learn coding, you feel miserable because you have to overcome a plateau in which you are constantly agitated and clueless against the problem at end. As time goes by your brain starts to recognize programming pattern and progressively release dopamine to keep you going in solving problems Your brain is then able to buffer your quit response based on the recall of you successfully solving similar problems Disclaimer : I'm nowhere near expert at programming but this is just my observation, go Huberman !
Thank you Dr Huberman: the perfect slogan to keep me working towards my goal: "It feels good to walk up this hill". All the while acknowledging the little wins along the way
Yep that's Huberman so he provides inmence value with his videos but these parasite channels just add some clickbaity misleading title to profit off of his work. Good think that at least his message is spread
Hilarious. You’re one of those misguided people who think everything taught or presented in a school is learned and understood by the students. Your naïveté is so cute.
Speaking as a teacher, kids would largely be uninterested within that context. If you've ever shown a video to someone and had them not be interested, picture that reaction multiplied by many kids who are motivated to not listen to you.
@@jopshua4703 I teach in a high school with the lowest gpa in a city. Most kids there didn't apply and arrive there because they couldn't get in anywhere else. They are actually motivated to not work a lot of the time as a psychological defence mechanism. If you think clips of academic English shown to people who speak English as a second or third language who are young and unacademic necessarily work, then you are naive about the realities of teaching classes who have a high density of low grades (and those types of classes are in tons of schools). I typically have to dumb those types of clips down afterwards, and it's normal for many classes to start noisy during a clip and/or become noisy if a person is speaking many minutes.
simply said: when you re stressing , you're fearing.... acknowledge that energy and reverse it to courage, use it to go resolve. As you do that you'll be rewarded and all the good energy will begin to build up
I had a professor my senior year who was also the dean of that department. First lecture he introduced himself and then stated, "fear, is the first step towards knowledge, you will experience alot of fear this semester." He was brilliant.
This is exactly what makes DIY home improvement is so satisfying. It might not be perfect but you see all the things you learned in the process of what ever you improved in your home.
4:50 is a great point! Growth "mindset" I'm working on and I'm older so it's actually "rewiring" my brain. Especially after losing 4ppl in 4 years back to back. The stress and struggle had made my brain grow SO much and become so much stronger! Love Andrew and his podcasts❤
Nobody explain these things better than Dr. Huberman! He has certainly worked hard to get his dopamine control right! In Bhagvad Gita it is said to not to look for reward when doing the karma!
I'm in support of this because a lot of friends i made from my analyst's investors, however I learnt that you ought to settle on a decision from many benefits assets to place it in and the Public authority doesn't have anything to do with it. Since states are great at spending - not saving...As businesses expand globally, they often require consulting services to navigate international markets, regulations. i have built a long-term relationship with a financial analyst and I'm in steady stream of income
I comprehend this Classical point of view on economies and globalisation however the generally accepted fact is somewhat basic at its center: "Globalisation" isn't something that anybody controls as we can't pick regardless of whether we live on a similar planet. We as people need to cooperate to make better circumstances on this planet for us all, regardless of whether we like it. You can't get away from this dynamic, I'm still at a crossroads deciding if to liquidate my 100k brokerage portfolio, curious on the most productive means to take advantage of the current situation...I am open to ideas
Strategising might be quite rigorous for the regular. As a matter of fact, they are mostly successfully carried out by experts who have a great deal of skillset managing a financial portfolio, I’ve been on both end of the spectrum investing on my own for about years, did my own study and analysis before actually buying, things became rather difficult not until a colleague introduced me to my current financial analyst. She has helped me convert my 150k portfolio into 500k
You're really making sense, I have colleagues at work that have tried placing trades in stocks and crypto for a while now but it is just to labyrinthine at first. Could you please divulge some more info, I mean your fA?

finally hearing the explanation why it feels good after a few days of intense translation or interpretation for most of the day.... even when initially it felt like dying
The idea of viewing stress and agitation as essential steps toward success is powerful. Andrew's explanation of how self-rewarding each milestone helps us stay focused and driven is something everyone needs to hear
Success depends on the actions or steps you take to achieve it. Building wealth involves developing good habits like regularly putting money away in intervals for solid investments. Financial management is a crucial topic that most tend to shy away from, and ends up haunting them in the near future.., I pray that anyone who reads this will be successful in life!!
Starting early is simply the best way of getting ahead to build wealth , investing remains a priority . I learnt from my last year's experience , I am able to build a suitable life beause I invested early ahead this time .
The rich Invest in alternative income streams that are independent of the government should be the top priority for everyone right now. especially given the global economic crisis we are currently experiencing. Stocks, gold, silver, and virtual currencies are still attractive investments at the moment...
I thought about investing in the financial market, I heard that people make millions if they know the tricks of the trade, but I lack good knowledge and a strategy to outperform the market and generate good yields. I have $160,000 but it's hard to bite the bullet and do it.
Having an investment advisor is the best way to go. Based on a direct encounter with a CFP named Kate Elizabeth Amdall, I can say with certainty that their skills are excellent. She helped raise over $580,000 in 18 months from an initially stagnant portfolio of $150,000
I really appreciate this in the process of career growth. Especially because it’s so easy to move backwards or stay stagnant. The ability to push through pain points, which we can all understand when we go to the gymn for instance.
Wow, this really hit home for me. Game changing for relationship to self...and those of us who tend to be very hard on ourselves. Much appreciation to you both. 🙏
If only this knowledge was imparted in college. As simple as this idea sounds, it is also profound at a level that only someone who has always struggled to do anything worthwhile in life will understand. Mediocrity is just ignorance of your own inner working.
This is so helpful and enlightening. I study people and have always been puzzled by how some people can break through the frustration and overwhelmness to become successful and many quit. If they truly believed that the reward was on the other side just a few steps away, would they keep going? I have also experienced both success and failure. When I think about it, after watching this video, I am going to focus on what I really want and I am going to welcome the frustration as knowing I am on the right path. Thank you so much.
I love how the video emphasizes the importance of setting internal goals over relying on external validation. It’s a true testament to the power of disciplined thinking
Trying to psych myself to go back to a stressful career...I know I'm o.k. once I get into it a few days...but have great anxiety, & over thinking blocking my initial steps. But looking forward to a dopamine rush with a rewarding paycheck. Thanks for the encouraging, & informative pep talk...♡☆♡
This video clip has nothing to do with being rich. That's an external reward. That was the point of the "gold star" study in preschool. It seems that if you can shift to be motivated solely by an external reward, and not to stop pursuing it, that would be useful for making money.
I feel motivated when my testosterone levels are high and my feeling of reward and dopamin lays in the amount of productivity that i achieve during the day.
My experience with Stress and agitation as the entry point to focus happened when I was a teen and liked to draw. I moved away from it over time because the experience of the negative feelings were a deterrent to me even though I knew about the flow that would follow. Knowing that it is just part of the plan will make it easier to push through.
I will be forever grateful to you, you changed my entire life and I will continue to preach on your behalf for the whole world to hear you saved me from huge financial debt with just a small investment, thank you Michelle Stewart
Building a good investment portfolio is more complex so I would recommend you seek Michelle Stewart support. This way you can get strategies designed to address your unique long/short-term goals and financial dreams.
Stewart's expertise in customizing investment portfolios based on changing market conditions and personal risk profiles is exceptional. It's not a one-size-fits-all approach, which is crucial in crypto investing.
What impresses me most about Michelle Stewart is how well she explains basic concept of winning before actually letting you use her trade signals. This goes a long way to ensure winning trades.
I love learning about the human mind. Dr. Andrew Huberman is like a user's manual teaching us all how to use these amazing minds we have and optimize them in our lives. Its so dope! I love this dude.
I've noticed that a lot of these misleading clickbaity titled videos actually contain very important and useful information that I think a lot of people wouldn't click on if the videos were named honestly. Seems like a smart way to distribute good information!
Andrew mentions dopamine in relation to drug addiction. I don't know why I thought this way as a child but I realized before I was 10 that I didn't ever want to do drugs because I for some reason understood this chase the dragon psychological process. I have always had the thought process of I don't want to begin something that I can't finish and always chasing the next high seemed terrible to me. It's interesting when I speak to people who do drugs regularly or occasionally, I tell them I have never had the urge and when I did on a few occasions try a few drugs it wasn't a pleasing experience. People tend to look at me like I'm an insane person, I'm OK with this though, perfectly happy being sober
You are probably one of those people who get high and turn into a devil. Wrecking all the fun. Well, maybe. And, You made the right choice to stay sober.
I understand the importance of separating your sense of achievement from external rewards, however it is absolutely necessary to ensure that your hard work is going into something that pays off well, otherwise you could find yourself working very hard with very little or nothing to show for it. I find the best solution is to find the sense of fulfillment and achievement internally; however consciously set yourself on a path with your work that will benefit your life tangibly and monetarily.
@@bperez8656 interesting, I think I agree and I think I understand your point, but could you elaborate because I want to make sure I fully understand what you mean by release external rewards to your future self
Hola, mi amigo! Great remark. You make me think. Maybe a good option is to combine internal and external rewards in an adequate, appropriate manner. Not relying on crutches only (100% external rewards) as they're artificial. And not relying on internal rewards only as they could be an illusion, as disconnect from reality. Many things in life are about equilibrium, balance, inclusion, integration not hyperpolarization/exageration of one side only...
@@assezzen194 you touch at the root of my point where you must operate in reality and achieve tangibly in the physical world because all of your basic necessities are in the physical world (food, water, shelter) while also finding self fulfillment internally simultaneously for the optimal state of being. One without the other is not good for obvious reasons. You need both, external resource accumulation and internal self fulfillment. Feed both accordingly. If anybody tells you otherwise they are delusional.
Connecting this to the polyvagal ladder and the idea that to move from shutdown (dorsal vagal) to contentment (ventral vagal) we have to move through mobilization / fight/flight (sympathetic NS)
this is amazing. I had wondered about some of these things, specifically and others generally, without getting weird in details, I find this extremely helpful. Thank you!!
4:58 yups. Thank you for helping me to understand why I’ve always felt the desire to become a mad scientist. I grew up mostly alone so I have a high capacity to focus on challenging things for a long period of time. To the point where I would and have happily go without sleep to work on it. However it’s awful for family and work life balance… it’s one of the reasons for my separation but I don’t share as no one believes that a woman would ever want to leave everyone to have her head in some books solving problems for hours.
“rich” is a very transposable word. That’s what I learned long ago in my 20s when I read “think and grow rich.” that mindset made me “rich” with family, an amazing career and physical fitness that improves even at the age of 52. Mindset is everything .
Here is a quick summary that has helped me internalize this massage, I guess just based on how my brain works. Agitation, confusion, and stress are not signs of doing something wrong but the entry point towards the desired destination. A self-reward system for any milestone such as; finishing a daily training, reading 20 to 50 pages a day, is key and the reward can be something as simple as acknowledging that I'm on the right path and I am getting 1% better everyday. Thanks
Thank you so much for this, I have been struggling with this and I could not put it into words. "Agitation, confusion, and stress are not signs of doing something wrong but the entry point towards the desired destination." Whenever I find myself feeling confused and stressed I normally change course of action which is a wrong thing because I miss the great opportunities, and when I am calm and happy while doing something, it ends up being the bad thing which I am to avoid.
@@victoriakipchumba7717 I believe it’s neither all good or all bad. Meaning you don’t have to be miserable the whole time or happy the whole time. It’s the law of polarity. Truth lies in the acknowledgment of the negative and positive. knowing this means you won’t be reactive to the negative that occurs or that which you feel and it also means you won’t be to tied to the positive as though it’s flawless. You will then move more and more out of your way so you can get to where you know you deserve to be based on the standards you have set. one thing that has also helped me a lot recently is the concept of existing in the gap, which means there is where you are and where you’d like to be, If we get where we want to be, it will be the new norm and we will want to something more like more money, more vacations, more friendships, connections, etc. The concept of living in the gap is not waiting to have what we want before feeling how we want to feel. so that car, house, partner, vacation, business, body can still be the goal we are working towards, however the emotions of self worth, love, peace, excitement, abundance, gratitude and confidence can and should be felt and experienced as we live in the GAP. I used to struggle with this because in an egoic manner i felt as though if i start feeling abundance, excitement or grateful for what i have, i will might not want more than i have. but i have realized i will always want something so i might as well live in mindset today that’s aligned with the mindset i want to have in the future.
@@Danishmasteryno it isn’t. Especially if no one’s comes to the point. Reading for 1hour is really good for you. Nearly independently regarding the content. 😊
A progressive narrowing of the things that bring you pleasure. I've never heard a better explanation of addiction. I was addicted to pain pills>heroin. At the end there was really only one thing on my mind. Once that was taken care of for the day I didn't have a care in the world. Then I would wake up the next day in a panic/mania. Glad that part of my life is over (hopefully for good.)
P.S. Brian Mindset, I don't enjoy how you titled this, and I clicked on it because it seemed so out of place for Huberman. I'm glad there was more to take away from this.
I’m starting to feel lately that the process is the reward, for me my struggle has been staying consistent with anything and I’m slowly getting to where I can discipline my mind so that feels good for me. Thanks dr. Hibernian you’re super inspiring!
Thank you! Understanding the roles of nori/ep or stress and confusion and dopamine feeling good/reward-worthy brings clarity to why I'm scared, anxious, and very nervous at the start of public speaking. Once I've picked up momentum and gotten into the message, it gets easier, and finishing is my reward. In the past, it felt great to be done and on to the next person. In the future, I will acknowledge what I feel start to finish, relating them to the hormones. Once I finish speaking, I'll internally soak up the dopamine. This video is beyond amazing! I have a greater self-awareness after watching it. 🙏🏾✨✨✨
Is this why athletes that are having fun when competing seem to have extra energy and not get tired? For instance, kids when they are having fun can go forever!
You’re 100% spot on today! Starting a new business that you really believe in is the same way it took me 16 years before I made my first million and I didn’t do it selling courses. All people need challenges they don’t need 1000 blue ribbons for participating. There’s no reward in that let’s chat soon.
To sum it up, what he's saying is that old saying that tells us to love the journey, not the destiny. If we train ourselves to feel rewarded by each step, we can be focused longer on doing those tasks. I think that's where talent actually comes from, it's not exactly a gift you're born with, but the ability to love just the act of doing something to the point you do it so much you become great at it. One example is that I literally feel abstinence if I don't do art for too long, it makes me moody, restless, art is therapeutic for me, even if I approach it as a job. I love doing it, I love the process of doing it, and feel rewarded when I do it, not only when I finish
The one thing I want to highlight is the fact that, how come we reward ourselves in the process will make the difference; Either we grant every single step [every small victory] to ourselves or the new dopamine spike will belong to that external thing which we grant our effort to. Thus letting us push harder and further. Me, I wanted to post something for the sake of receiving a like, but I understood that my sole purpose is to help anyone who might be reading this (as short as it is) the same way developing this idea helped me.
Really interesting comment about extrinsic rewards and motivation. I've seen advice about having some kind of reward for making progress on a goal, whether that be some kind of snack for finishing a hard workout or a week of solid dieting, or buying something nice when we achieve an academic goal like acing our classes for the semester. The advice here implies this is counterproductive behavior and if we want lasting motivation the reward needs to come from within.
Those are all self-rewards, because you are giving them to yourself: it works well. When I was in the army cadets, they said the cadet with the top score shooting the rifle that day could have a go on the Bren gun. I had the top score, which felt great. But I said I didn't want a go on the Bren gun. It meant nothing to me.
actually is money, you must not have much money. money is THE necessary that keeps your life in motion. think about it. money provides a roof over your head, transportation to your job, food, clothing, shoes.......shall I go on, or do you finally get it.
This so makes sense. When I run i recognise those moments of tiredness and in er dialogue starts: " I ve done ok - may as well stop now. Then I aer a new goal of extra minutes and when i achieve them i set another goal!..it realy works
I was on my journey of self growth and development. Over the time i experienced tremendous amount of anxiety, stress, fear, uncertainty, confusion and what not. I had no idea why was that happening if I'm doing well. I started focusing on diminishing the negative feelings bc that made me feel like shit! Now those feelings persist in a small amount BUT it came at a cost, my focus on the negatives almost diminished the fire 🔥 i had before this. I didnt knew it was natural for just letting it pass. I focused on the wrong and now im trying to start again but with a bit more wisdom, maturity and will power. I hope i dont fall here ever again but if i ever do I'm ready to start ober and over again!
It's quite shocking how few people know about the forbidden book "The Mystic Labyrinth" on Vexoner
Thank you. I've never heard of it till now. Will do my research. How come you know about it?
This is why all mentors teach Gratitude. Gratitude is a form of dopamine.
Thank you for that insight - really helpful. I've been cultivating gratitude lately, and learning about neurotransmitters, and hadn't really connected them in this way.

Montessori said that the adult tendency to interject themselves precisely at the moment when children are about to push themselves and make their greatest effort is a huge mistake. As in the story of the gold stars ... children "learn" to stop engaging in the activity they were naturally drawn to ... because their internal feeling has been associated with and replaced by an imposed external response.
Children learn to stop and wait to be entertained or fed when they feel a little bored - instead of the natural outcome of agitation that might otherwise motivate a child to play a game in a new way or create a new story.
Brilliant observation
THANK YOU for this. Just what I needed to know today. 😊
That's very interesting!
Thank you
@gormenfreeman499 No, but you had better find more appropriate things for him to take apart, including perhaps an old TV of his own with the electrical wire disabled.
That’s fascinating, I had no idea!
Running on a cold day. Afterwards, journaling about how proud you are for the discipline of overcoming the painful start. Dope!
This explains to me now why agitation and stress is the entry point to a more rewarding situation if you know that you're on the right path...thanks for these ...
I’m starting a new business for the first time in my life and it’s reassuring to hear that the anxiety, discomfort, and confusion that I am experiencing right now is not an anomaly but part of the growth process 😅
Just make sure you know exactly what value you bring, to whom + get frequent feedback about the value
Same here
Just make sure you use your nostrils to breathe and not to pick. Also wash between your toes and finger your butt.
Yeah as long as you are doing the work you want to be doing and especially building something and dont overload yourself I think it will.
Much success to your new business... That's amazing. You're doing so well....
That’s why the colored belt systems in martial arts (mine is BJJ) … from white to black … are important to track and motivate someone to keep progressing and getting to the next level
Well, also years of BJJ and grappling, I see it differently. For me the dopamine comes more from submitting upperbelts, or before that, the process that led me to that sub. Or passing the impassible guard of that comp brown belt whose guard is invincible. That beats the owning of the colored piece of fabric that the BJJ world has constructed for years.
Guys like Jsh Barnett, Sakurabba, Rashad Evans, Randy Couture, Eddi Bravo, to name a few, have a BJJ black belt, but they never wear it, cause they strive more for the acquisition of skills. Sakuraba even said he doesn't know how to tie his bjj black belt. Josh even confessed, he is a BJJ black belt, but it means shit to him cause catch wrestling is the way to go.
For me, acquiring the new grappling skill that beats lower to upperbelt drives more dopamine in me than the owning of the materialistic tissue.
In Japan was either white or Black. There was no colours
@@pedrobarros4576Welcome to the soft parade
That’s a weak excuse , the belt is just to hold the kimono , white is beginner and black is master , the in between is western influenced bullshit
@@pedrobarros4576exactly
1235 days sober. No weed, alcohol, or hard drugs. Reclaiming my dopamine potential for my greatest outcome everyday! Stay Focused 🏆
Don't count days! It's been so long just believe you don't drink anymore.
I love it “when people start realizing if they set the goals inside the larger goal and self reward each one of those, they essentially have an infinite amount of energy to pursue those goals.” Wow! Powerful stuff thank you and god bless.
Set goals inside larger goals.
Ok.
Did he give an example of how to “self reward”?
He did mention sort of telling yourself “I’m doing well, I’m on the right path”… as a sort of internal reward…which makes sense… an external would be a coach telling a kid “at a boy! Good job!”… like the gold star on your drawing… if you rely on those to keep going you will stall out… if you have your own internal “gold star”… you should be able to keep going infinitely… unless you self sabotage and say “this isn’t worth it”
I dont get what he means by self reward..?
@@itsbrandom_ That's because it's meaningless.
Learning how to code is the perfect illustration of this (very good) video :
When you first try to learn coding, you feel miserable because you have to overcome a plateau in which you are constantly agitated and clueless against the problem at end.
As time goes by your brain starts to recognize programming pattern and progressively release dopamine to keep you going in solving problems
Your brain is then able to buffer your quit response based on the recall of you successfully solving similar problems
Disclaimer : I'm nowhere near expert at programming but this is just my observation, go Huberman !
Thank you Dr Huberman: the perfect slogan to keep me working towards my goal: "It feels good to walk up this hill". All the while acknowledging the little wins along the way
The title is very misleading but the video is incredibly informative nonetheless
I totally agree. Getting rich is a byproduct, an external reward in that sense. So almost against the core of Hubermans message.
Yep that's Huberman so he provides inmence value with his videos but these parasite channels just add some clickbaity misleading title to profit off of his work. Good think that at least his message is spread
Agree, should be about ‘success’ not being rich. Though I was drawn to listen by the title☺️
@@donnarainone Yes, that is of course a valid point. And maybe the reason why people like Hubermann and Ross do not go after these channels....
lol
Andrew Huberman videos should be shown in every school
Hilarious. You’re one of those misguided people who think everything taught or presented in a school is learned and understood by the students. Your naïveté is so cute.
Nah we Dont want People Smart. They need to OBEY😊
Speaking as a teacher, kids would largely be uninterested within that context. If you've ever shown a video to someone and had them not be interested, picture that reaction multiplied by many kids who are motivated to not listen to you.
@@perman07maybe you're the problem if they're "motivated to not listen to you"?
@@jopshua4703 I teach in a high school with the lowest gpa in a city. Most kids there didn't apply and arrive there because they couldn't get in anywhere else. They are actually motivated to not work a lot of the time as a psychological defence mechanism.
If you think clips of academic English shown to people who speak English as a second or third language who are young and unacademic necessarily work, then you are naive about the realities of teaching classes who have a high density of low grades (and those types of classes are in tons of schools). I typically have to dumb those types of clips down afterwards, and it's normal for many classes to start noisy during a clip and/or become noisy if a person is speaking many minutes.
Running after external rewards, is like, in my opinion, adapting to the world. Looking for internal rewards is like creating your own world.
This is certainly something to think about, lots of times. I don't mean just now.
simply said: when you re stressing , you're fearing.... acknowledge that energy and reverse it to courage, use it to go resolve. As you do that you'll be rewarded and all the good energy will begin to build up
I had a professor my senior year who was also the dean of that department. First lecture he introduced himself and then stated, "fear, is the first step towards knowledge, you will experience alot of fear this semester." He was brilliant.
This man is literally explaining side quests and collectibles in video games - (smaller) goals within the (one big) goal that keep u going
finally!!!!!! an actual explanation as to what effort is and how it rewards us as a biochemical process. this is superb. thank you!
Professor Huberman just have done a wonderful explanation, this is life saver, isn't it？
This is exactly what makes DIY home improvement is so satisfying. It might not be perfect but you see all the things you learned in the process of what ever you improved in your home.
Best observation!
“Addiction is a progressive narrowing of the things that bring you pleasure” very true
4:50 is a great point! Growth "mindset" I'm working on and I'm older so it's actually "rewiring" my brain. Especially after losing 4ppl in 4 years back to back. The stress and struggle had made my brain grow SO much and become so much stronger! Love Andrew and his podcasts❤
Don't pay attention to our "likes", enjoy the struggle.
nice mental model you now have! yes, its all about re-programming, most people are unaware they can even do this as they get older
Nobody explain these things better than Dr. Huberman! He has certainly worked hard to get his dopamine control right! In Bhagvad Gita it is said to not to look for reward when doing the karma!
I'm in support of this because a lot of friends i made from my analyst's investors, however I learnt that you ought to settle on a decision from many benefits assets to place it in and the Public authority doesn't have anything to do with it. Since states are great at spending - not saving...As businesses expand globally, they often require consulting services to navigate international markets, regulations. i have built a long-term relationship with a financial analyst and I'm in steady stream of income
I comprehend this Classical point of view on economies and globalisation however the generally accepted fact is somewhat basic at its center: "Globalisation" isn't something that anybody controls as we can't pick regardless of whether we live on a similar planet. We as people need to cooperate to make better circumstances on this planet for us all, regardless of whether we like it. You can't get away from this dynamic, I'm still at a crossroads deciding if to liquidate my 100k brokerage portfolio, curious on the most productive means to take advantage of the current situation...I am open to ideas
Strategising might be quite rigorous for the regular. As a matter of fact, they are mostly successfully carried out by experts who have a great deal of skillset managing a financial portfolio, I’ve been on both end of the spectrum investing on my own for about years, did my own study and analysis before actually buying, things became rather difficult not until a colleague introduced me to my current financial analyst. She has helped me convert my 150k portfolio into 500k
You're really making sense, I have colleagues at work that have tried placing trades in stocks and crypto for a while now but it is just to labyrinthine at first. Could you please divulge some more info, I mean your fA?

"Hard work is its own reward."
"Especially when you have millions to fall back on, nobody can fire you, and even if you fail, you have family wealth and connections to fall back on! If your hard work is actually on some low wage job you hate, YMMV".
You can feel the passion Huberman has for those topics. He loves human chemistry and biology. It is contagious. :)
2 words that summarizes this entire video is, "Keep Going".
just start and leave the rest to god
Nicely said. Rewarding oneself by the task done by feeling good of the accomplishment. And not relying on external rewards.
Beating the resistance for every small step (my daily mantra)
So we set mini goals to attain larger goals.. now I see why there are "check points" in video games.. it enables us to wanna go further to end the games.. thanks huberman.. much love from Nigeria!!!

00:00 🧠 Understanding the Early Stages of Productivity
- Early stages of hard work can feel like agitation, stress, and confusion.
- The brain needs time to warm up and identify active circuits for productivity.
- Accept the initial discomfort as part of the process.
01:07 🧪 The Role of Dopamine in Productivity
- Dopamine is released when you achieve a milestone or feel on the right path.
- It helps in pushing down norepinephrine (adrenaline) to enhance focus.
- Dopamine is a key player in creating circuits for highly focused work.
02:44 🔑 The Connection Between Agitation and Progress
- Agitation and stress are natural entry points to productive focus.
- Recognizing this initial discomfort can help you pass through it more easily.
- Rewarding yourself for achieving milestones during the process is crucial.
05:57 💡 Exporting Productivity Circuits to Various Endeavors
- Success in any endeavor is closely tied to your ability to focus.
- The dopamine system is designed to be generic and adaptable to different tasks.
- Self-rewarding the effort process can be a powerful tool for achieving goals.
08:00 🌟 The Role of Dopamine in Overcoming Challenges
- Dopamine's ability to suppress norepinephrine (stress) is a permission to keep going.
- Reframing challenges mentally can help you persevere.
- External rewards should not replace internal dopamine-driven motivation.
11:13 ⚡ Mastering Duration, Path, and Outcome
- Controlling the concept of duration, path, and outcome is crucial.
- Self-rewarding at each step in your journey provides energy and focus.
- Buffering the "quit" response with dopamine leads to infinite energy for goals.
Just finishing my PhD thesis suffering. I guess universe sent me this video to feel better that I'm on the right path. Thank you! 😊🙏🏼
He did not mention the word “rich” once…
i know right 🤣🤣🤣 i was waiting for someone to comment this!
the title should be "Andrew Huberman, The Power Of Dopamine (Duration Path Outcome)"
using a catchy title to get more views
lol
Maybe people who give into the dopaminergic urge to click on click bait titles are the ones who need this video the most 🤷♂️ …myself included
This is so boring and how’s this related to the topic of becoming “rich”?
"Going fishing is the reward, not catching fish"❤
🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation:
00:00 🧠 Initial stages of hard work and focus often involve agitation, stress, and confusion as the brain warms up and identifies the active circuits.
01:07 🎯 Dopamine plays a key role in motivation, releasing when you achieve milestones or believe you're on the right path, boosting focus and motivation.
03:38 🚀 Success in any endeavor is closely tied to the level of focus you can bring to it, and the ability to self-reward the effort process can help you pass through initial stress and agitation.
07:19 🏃♂️ Dopamine suppresses noradrenaline, providing more energy and focus, allowing you to push through challenging tasks.
11:13 💡 Attach internal rewards to the process, rather than relying solely on external rewards, to maintain motivation and focus over the long term. Self-rewarding the effort process can provide infinite energy and focus for pursuing goals.

Excellent, love this guy. It’s not just technical stuff, he makes me really interested in learning how my mind works.
The idea of viewing stress and agitation as essential steps toward success is powerful. Andrew's explanation of how self-rewarding each milestone helps us stay focused and driven is something everyone needs to hear
Success depends on the actions or steps you take to achieve it. Building wealth involves developing good habits like regularly putting money away in intervals for solid investments. Financial management is a crucial topic that most tend to shy away from, and ends up haunting them in the near future.., I pray that anyone who reads this will be successful in life!!
Starting early is simply the best way of getting ahead to build wealth , investing remains a priority . I learnt from my last year's experience , I am able to build a suitable life beause I invested early ahead this time .
The rich Invest in alternative income streams that are independent of the government should be the top priority for everyone right now. especially given the global economic crisis we are currently experiencing. Stocks, gold, silver, and virtual currencies are still attractive investments at the moment...
I thought about investing in the financial market, I heard that people make millions if they know the tricks of the trade, but I lack good knowledge and a strategy to outperform the market and generate good yields. I have $160,000 but it's hard to bite the bullet and do it.
Having an investment advisor is the best way to go. Based on a direct encounter with a CFP named Kate Elizabeth Amdall, I can say with certainty that their skills are excellent. She helped raise over $580,000 in 18 months from an initially stagnant portfolio of $150,000
Fantastic! Can you share more details?
I really appreciate this in the process of career growth. Especially because it’s so easy to move backwards or stay stagnant. The ability to push through pain points, which we can all understand when we go to the gymn for instance.
Wow, this really hit home for me. Game changing for relationship to self...and those of us who tend to be very hard on ourselves. Much appreciation to you both. 🙏
you can train your brain!
If only this knowledge was imparted in college. As simple as this idea sounds, it is also profound at a level that only someone who has always struggled to do anything worthwhile in life will understand. Mediocrity is just ignorance of your own inner working.
TAKEAWAY: “If they set the goals inside of the larger goal and self reward each one of those, they’ll have infinite amounts of energy”
Hahaha😂
Andrew is my role model he is a real hero. As far as the video.. save and rewatch over and over … I learn more every time I rewatch it.
why you think they wanna cancel him for? crazy
This is so helpful and enlightening. I study people and have always been puzzled by how some people can break through the frustration and overwhelmness to become successful and many quit. If they truly believed that the reward was on the other side just a few steps away, would they keep going? I have also experienced both success and failure. When I think about it, after watching this video, I am going to focus on what I really want and I am going to welcome the frustration as knowing I am on the right path. Thank you so much.
It’s what we were told as kids. I was told and shown that I wasn’t worth the effort. As an adult I give up very easily.
resilience
I love how the video emphasizes the importance of setting internal goals over relying on external validation. It’s a true testament to the power of disciplined thinking
Trying to psych myself to go back to a stressful career...I know I'm o.k. once I get into it a few days...but have great anxiety, & over thinking blocking my initial steps. But looking forward to a dopamine rush with a rewarding paycheck. Thanks for the encouraging, & informative pep talk...♡☆♡
should never do anything for a paycheck, theirs a reason why people sell bananas on las ramblas instead of chasing a pay-check or career..
"Buffering the quit response." Thank you!
They don't think differently. They were taught differently.
Huge difference.
Taught differently and therefore, they think differently
This video clip has nothing to do with being rich. That's an external reward. That was the point of the "gold star" study in preschool.
It seems that if you can shift to be motivated solely by an external reward, and not to stop pursuing it, that would be useful for making money.
They have programmed subconscious differently to masses. That’s all.
I feel motivated when my testosterone levels are high and my feeling of reward and dopamin lays in the amount of productivity that i achieve during the day.
My experience with Stress and agitation as the entry point to focus happened when I was a teen and liked to draw. I moved away from it over time because the experience of the negative feelings were a deterrent to me even though I knew about the flow that would follow. Knowing that it is just part of the plan will make it easier to push through.
you need a whoop to document stress, recovery etc
I swear this is the best video i have seen in my entire life
I will be forever grateful to you, you changed my entire life and I will continue to preach on your behalf for the whole world to hear you saved me from huge financial debt with just a small investment, thank you Michelle Stewart
Building a good investment portfolio is more complex so I would recommend you seek Michelle Stewart support. This way you can get strategies designed to address your unique long/short-term goals and financial dreams.
Stewart's expertise in customizing investment portfolios based on changing market conditions and personal risk profiles is exceptional. It's not a one-size-fits-all approach, which is crucial in crypto investing.
What impresses me most about Michelle Stewart is how well she explains basic concept of winning before actually letting you use her trade signals. This goes a long way to ensure winning trades.
I'm new at this, please how can I reach her?
I was skeptical at first till I decided to try. Its huge returns is awesome. I can't say much
I love learning about the human mind. Dr. Andrew Huberman is like a user's manual teaching us all how to use these amazing minds we have and optimize them in our lives. Its so dope! I love this dude.
Takeaway: The obstacle is the way.
The success of that endeavor ------ relates entirely on the focus given towards that endeavor.
Gold info in spite of the misleading title. Huberman’s description explains a good amount of what I’ve experienced and observed.
I've noticed that a lot of these misleading clickbaity titled videos actually contain very important and useful information that I think a lot of people wouldn't click on if the videos were named honestly. Seems like a smart way to distribute good information!
Andrew mentions dopamine in relation to drug addiction. I don't know why I thought this way as a child but I realized before I was 10 that I didn't ever want to do drugs because I for some reason understood this chase the dragon psychological process. I have always had the thought process of I don't want to begin something that I can't finish and always chasing the next high seemed terrible to me. It's interesting when I speak to people who do drugs regularly or occasionally, I tell them I have never had the urge and when I did on a few occasions try a few drugs it wasn't a pleasing experience. People tend to look at me like I'm an insane person, I'm OK with this though, perfectly happy being sober
People look at you insane for not doing drugs or not caring for them? I feel like I live in a different United States sometimes lol
You are probably one of those people who get high and turn into a devil. Wrecking all the fun. Well, maybe.
And,
You made the right choice to stay sober.
I understand the importance of separating your sense of achievement from external rewards, however it is absolutely necessary to ensure that your hard work is going into something that pays off well, otherwise you could find yourself working very hard with very little or nothing to show for it. I find the best solution is to find the sense of fulfillment and achievement internally; however consciously set yourself on a path with your work that will benefit your life tangibly and monetarily.
One way to give away external rewards is to release them to your future self and not consume them for short term pleasure ?
@@bperez8656 interesting, I think I agree and I think I understand your point, but could you elaborate because I want to make sure I fully understand what you mean by release external rewards to your future self
Hola, mi amigo! Great remark. You make me think. Maybe a good option is to combine internal and external rewards in an adequate, appropriate manner. Not relying on crutches only (100% external rewards) as they're artificial. And not relying on internal rewards only as they could be an illusion, as disconnect from reality. Many things in life are about equilibrium, balance, inclusion, integration not hyperpolarization/exageration of one side only...
@@assezzen194 you touch at the root of my point where you must operate in reality and achieve tangibly in the physical world because all of your basic necessities are in the physical world (food, water, shelter) while also finding self fulfillment internally simultaneously for the optimal state of being. One without the other is not good for obvious reasons. You need both, external resource accumulation and internal self fulfillment. Feed both accordingly. If anybody tells you otherwise they are delusional.
When titles dont match the topic.. irritating.
It does, he’s explaining the things rich people understand and utilize for their better success
It matched
This is gold. I smh bumped into it at the perfect time. Thank you for this!
I am sharing your video with everyone that I care about! You are so clear and articulate and I’m so happy that I got this video suggestion!
“A progressive narrowing of the things that bring you pleasure.” Brilliant.
Connecting this to the polyvagal ladder and the idea that to move from shutdown (dorsal vagal) to contentment (ventral vagal) we have to move through mobilization / fight/flight (sympathetic NS)
Though when there’s no way to get out of sympathetic stress, we go the other way, into shutdown
this is amazing. I had wondered about some of these things, specifically and others generally, without getting weird in details, I find this extremely helpful. Thank you!!
This man is so smart. Listening to him is a pure gift.
21 years no alcohol and tobacco and drugs and no any eating addiction
4:58 yups. Thank you for helping me to understand why I’ve always felt the desire to become a mad scientist. I grew up mostly alone so I have a high capacity to focus on challenging things for a long period of time. To the point where I would and have happily go without sleep to work on it. However it’s awful for family and work life balance… it’s one of the reasons for my separation but I don’t share as no one believes that a woman would ever want to leave everyone to have her head in some books solving problems for hours.
“rich” is a very transposable word. That’s what I learned long ago in my 20s when I read “think and grow rich.”
that mindset made me “rich” with family, an amazing career and physical fitness that improves even at the age of 52.
Mindset is everything .
I got that book at now can you tell me how can apply those principles correctly.
Andrew huberman is so good at what he does derrick doesn't even question when he hears someone say Andrew was wrong about something
Here is a quick summary that has helped me internalize this massage, I guess just based on how my brain works.
Agitation, confusion, and stress are not signs of doing something wrong but the entry point towards the desired destination. A self-reward system for any milestone such as; finishing a daily training, reading 20 to 50 pages a day, is key and the reward can be something as simple as acknowledging that I'm on the right path and I am getting 1% better everyday. Thanks
Thank you
Thank you so much for this, I have been struggling with this and I could not put it into words. "Agitation, confusion, and stress are not signs of doing something wrong but the entry point towards the desired destination."
Whenever I find myself feeling confused and stressed I normally change course of action which is a wrong thing because I miss the great opportunities, and when I am calm and happy while doing something, it ends up being the bad thing which I am to avoid.
@@victoriakipchumba7717 I believe it’s neither all good or all bad.
Meaning you don’t have to be miserable the whole time or happy the whole time.
It’s the law of polarity. Truth lies in the acknowledgment of the negative and positive.
knowing this means you won’t be reactive to the negative that occurs or that which you feel and it also means you won’t be to tied to the positive as though it’s flawless.
You will then move more and more out of your way so you can get to where you know you deserve to be based on the standards you have set.
one thing that has also helped me a lot recently is the concept of existing in the gap,
which means there is where you are and where you’d like to be,
If we get where we want to be, it will be the new norm and we will want to something more like more money, more vacations, more friendships, connections, etc.
The concept of living in the gap is not waiting to have what we want before feeling how we want to feel.
so that car, house, partner, vacation, business, body can still be the goal we are working towards,
however the emotions of self worth, love, peace, excitement, abundance, gratitude and confidence can and should be felt and experienced as we live in the GAP.
I used to struggle with this because in an egoic manner i felt as though if i start feeling abundance, excitement or grateful for what i have, i will might not want more than i have.
but i have realized i will always want something so i might as well live in mindset today that’s aligned with the mindset i want to have in the future.
@@davidmitsindoThank you som much. This is deep.
I wish more UA-camrs would edit videos short like this. Who has time to watch 1-1.5 hours to hear one piece of information. Thank you!!!
Watching 1-hour videos is good for you.
@@Danishmasteryno it isn’t. Especially if no one’s comes to the point. Reading for 1hour is really good for you. Nearly independently regarding the content. 😊
A progressive narrowing of the things that bring you pleasure. I've never heard a better explanation of addiction. I was addicted to pain pills>heroin. At the end there was really only one thing on my mind. Once that was taken care of for the day I didn't have a care in the world. Then I would wake up the next day in a panic/mania. Glad that part of my life is over (hopefully for good.)
P.S. Brian Mindset, I don't enjoy how you titled this, and I clicked on it because it seemed so out of place for Huberman. I'm glad there was more to take away from this.
I’m starting to feel lately that the process is the reward, for me my struggle has been staying consistent with anything and I’m slowly getting to where I can discipline my mind so that feels good for me. Thanks dr. Hibernian you’re super inspiring!
This guy is a Master ‘Splainer!
So helpful to hear all of this. Thank you, both 💐💐
I don't want money to be rich, I'd rather happiness and love excess
Dr Andrew makes a complex topic easy to digest.
have to listen to this twice!!!
Huberman is always so deep. Many times I listen to UA-camrs while i do something else. This guy needs focus or you lose half of the meaning
@@andrewcarlson2178I’m glad I’m not the only one
The idea that we can "self-reward" along the journey, not just at the final destination, is such a powerful tool for maintaining long-term motivation.
Hugely interesting, thanks for sharing 🔥
Is it what he saying like: "I hate going for a run but once you force yourself it feels acually good"?
Thank you! Understanding the roles of nori/ep or stress and confusion and dopamine feeling good/reward-worthy brings clarity to why I'm scared, anxious, and very nervous at the start of public speaking. Once I've picked up momentum and gotten into the message, it gets easier, and finishing is my reward. In the past, it felt great to be done and on to the next person. In the future, I will acknowledge what I feel start to finish, relating them to the hormones. Once I finish speaking, I'll internally soak up the dopamine.
This video is beyond amazing! I have a greater self-awareness after watching it. 🙏🏾✨✨✨
This is a very powerful message and can be a very powerful tool if ingrained into your instinctual thought process
Is this why athletes that are having fun when competing seem to have extra energy and not get tired? For instance, kids when they are having fun can go forever!
You’re 100% spot on today! Starting a new business that you really believe in is the same way it took me 16 years before I made my first million and I didn’t do it selling courses. All people need challenges they don’t need 1000 blue ribbons for participating. There’s no reward in that let’s chat soon.
To sum it up, what he's saying is that old saying that tells us to love the journey, not the destiny. If we train ourselves to feel rewarded by each step, we can be focused longer on doing those tasks. I think that's where talent actually comes from, it's not exactly a gift you're born with, but the ability to love just the act of doing something to the point you do it so much you become great at it. One example is that I literally feel abstinence if I don't do art for too long, it makes me moody, restless, art is therapeutic for me, even if I approach it as a job. I love doing it, I love the process of doing it, and feel rewarded when I do it, not only when I finish
The one thing I want to highlight is the fact that, how come we reward ourselves in the process will make the difference; Either we grant every single step [every small victory] to ourselves or the new dopamine spike will belong to that external thing which we grant our effort to. Thus letting us push harder and further.
Me, I wanted to post something for the sake of receiving a like, but I understood that my sole purpose is to help anyone who might be reading this (as short as it is) the same way developing this idea helped me.

Really interesting comment about extrinsic rewards and motivation. I've seen advice about having some kind of reward for making progress on a goal, whether that be some kind of snack for finishing a hard workout or a week of solid dieting, or buying something nice when we achieve an academic goal like acing our classes for the semester. The advice here implies this is counterproductive behavior and if we want lasting motivation the reward needs to come from within.
Those are all self-rewards, because you are giving them to yourself: it works well. When I was in the army cadets, they said the cadet with the top score shooting the rifle that day could have a go on the Bren gun. I had the top score, which felt great. But I said I didn't want a go on the Bren gun. It meant nothing to me.
Adding value or being valuable is wealth.
actually is money, you must not have much money. money is THE necessary that keeps your life in motion. think about it. money provides a roof over your head, transportation to your job, food, clothing, shoes.......shall I go on, or do you finally get it.
@@georgiafrancis9059 No I guess I don’t get it, please go on.
This so makes sense. When I run i recognise those moments of tiredness and in er dialogue starts: " I ve done ok - may as well stop now. Then I aer a new goal of extra minutes and when i achieve them i set another goal!..it realy works
I was on my journey of self growth and development. Over the time i experienced tremendous amount of anxiety, stress, fear, uncertainty, confusion and what not. I had no idea why was that happening if I'm doing well. I started focusing on diminishing the negative feelings bc that made me feel like shit! Now those feelings persist in a small amount BUT it came at a cost, my focus on the negatives almost diminished the fire 🔥 i had before this. I didnt knew it was natural for just letting it pass. I focused on the wrong and now im trying to start again but with a bit more wisdom, maturity and will power. I hope i dont fall here ever again but if i ever do I'm ready to start ober and over again!
I’ve always wondered why I love math so much. I’m not great at it but I love doing it. I’m also not great at chess but I love the game so much.
