Fear is a good motivator. For me I felt motivated to turn my life around when I saw my successful twin achieving everything. I felt like I was being left behind and the realization that this fear was already taking place made me go home, have a panic attack and slowly start to wake up. I hadn’t wanted anything-that’s what I told myself, because it was comforting to believe and it gave me permission to stay the same in my cozy underachieving lifestyle. I didn’t feel afraid of dying this way… and that was sad, and yet it was satisfying because I could wallow in self pity then. So when I felt a twinge of fear at seeing my twin accomplish all her dreams,,, I remembered what I wanted. I remembered that, as much as I tried to deny it, I WAS CHOOSING TO TAKE THE EASY WAY OUT. It made me feel unmotivated when I thought about what I wanted… everyone kept asking me what I had planned, and pushed me to decide what I wanted. But since I was so out of touch with what I wanted, I was not willing to own up to my fear of being incompetent. Anyways, thanks for this video-you’ve really changed my mind! ❤
Fear has created discipline in me. I work in an ER and see patients come all the time that are obese, sitting in a power scooter and on a bucket of meds. They are regulars here. The meds won't save them. Taking responsibility for their own health will help more than anything else. Daily exercise and healthy eating are the strongest medicine we have. If you want good quality of life, discipline equals freedom.
@mcadams518 Shame doesn't serve any good purpose my friend. It's like your own boot on your neck. I'm 54, my life has completely changed in the last few years. You are never too old.
I got two things from this amazing podcast. They are, use the body to shift the mind, and stop bombarding the mind all day with information that it becomes unable to focus.
Every time I'm alone and there is quiet, even when I'm driving, I have an interview, sermon, science podcast, something running. For some reason, silence is difficult for me.
I really appreciate your reply because it was so packed full of information that when it came to the end, I didn’t know the answer to the title. What is the way to combat laziness? I think your response is the answer. If there's more that anyone got from it I'd love to hear it. For now this helps.
When I was going through domestic abuse, I struggled with two fears: my children raised in a abusive home and my children living without a father in their lives. I had to visualize my grandchildren and great-grandchildren growing up to be abusers or get abused because I didn't break the cycle before they were born. I was motivated to get out. It wasn't easy and other fears messed with me often, but my visualization helped.
Victoria - I respect you so much !! My mom went through 5 husbands. Plenty of her own problems, but knew when it got abusive and/or physical, he had to go. Many people think that would have been so traumatic, but it showed us at least she cared about us, AND to never let someone abuse you. Cheers
I can identify so much with your comment. Roll on a decade later, my ex is remarried and since he hasn’t done the work on himself there isn’t any change in his behaviour and my kids still are witnessing abuse, just not with ‘our’ relationship anymore. Courts etc are useless, the kids are seduced enough by his wealth and the need for their biological father to continue to see him. I don’t know how this will end. I’ve even started studying psychology to help them but it’s a daily struggle…
Love these videos. A thought. For me, i was always highly motivated, i am a hard worker, was hit by many circumstances that really worked against me, but i always pushed on. Recreated a life, began over many times, and that hope and belief was strong in me. I worked out, did a lot of cardio, and worked a lot. For decades. For me, there has, lately, been a sense of hopelessness. I believe this is strong all over the world in western civilization, ( I cannot speak about civilizations I haven't lived in ) where the carrot on the stick is always slightly out of reach if you are motivated and work hard, but it is readily given if you are in certain classes. I have done moderately well, but i spend time and money helping people i care about who didn't get as early a start as I did and are in the middle of these tough times. I realize all is perception and expectation against reality. I know the philosophy and psychology of it. But still, in a country like america, where there are politicians living very well off tax payers while criticizing said tax payers, making policies and decisions that only affect said tax payer adversely, I believe it is a natural depressor for many. I believe in God, in the prophecies I am literally seeing fulfilled in front of my eyes, and I hold onto the knowledge that He is in control. Still, there are days I just cannot feel terribly motivated and i keep moving forward out of habit. I can say, if you do that, you can keep from destructing your life through those tough times and come out the other side maybe not with changed circumstances, but with the willingness and perspective to keep trying. Take care of your health, do the work to build your immune system and stay sound in mind and body. Pursue health, get addicted to finding out how to be more healthy and hold onto the people who are important to you and to whom you are important. And don't do so much social media or news, get out into nature and fresh air.
I totally Hear You, I feel much the same, many others do. That's why it's important to intentionally control your own life as feeling hopeless will not help you. GREED & UNCARING towards the Citizenry should be punished but it never has been. Humans are the Cancer upon the Earth. The ones with Money & Power are the ones to trust the least. Just keep the focus on your own endeavors & continue to help others as best you can. Purohit & Huberman are some of the Good Guys in our world. THANK GOD THERE ARE GOOD GUYS IN OUR WORLD!
I don't think this relates to the message here. It's more about self-awareness vs. self-consciousness. Humility is a separate topic. "All knowledge is self-knowledge." -Bruce Lee
I applauded during the podcast when I learned that OTHERS who are craving to understand neuroscience posted about their implementation of Dr. Huberman's research findings into different areas of their lives. Be it weight loss, yogic breathing, focus or relief from anxiety and past trauma, we are grateful for his contributions to global wellness education. I am a Health and Spanish teacher. Dr. Huberman's teachings benefit me both personally and professionally. Thank you, Mr. Purohit, for successfully providing a platform for experts with practical and very purposeful messages.
Every word that Dr. Huberman says in this video is solid gold. I want to take this and embed it into my brain so it stays there forever and ever. Thank you both for this talk.
I want to apply it! I've got so much psychological knowledge or even knowledge of like how our meat is produced here in America and it just causes inner turmoil as I'm not taking action in either area I'm just disappointed in myself and completely disgusted with so many others. They say ignorance is bliss and I get it. Having a thirst for knowledge and knowing stuff makes it a lot harder to live
I never realized this but as a child I used visualization of fear to do better in track. At age 8 onward, I would visualize an alligator on wheels chasing me as I ran a race or jumped. It worked as I won 99% of the time in any event I entered. I must remember this now when I am sitting staring at walls alone. Funny that I instinctively knew that at such a young age but have forgotten it now in adulthood.
This is sad to hear. .that you're sitting alone. You know..when we know the Lord Jesus we are never alone. When Jesus rose He said He would send the Comforter..this is His Holy Spirit. We can talk to Him & praise Him..takes our mind off ourself. Jesus died for you as He did for me. He paid the price for the sin of the world..we can know forgiveness through His work of the cross. Be blessed. I'm listening to this abit only then looked at comments. Look to Jesus before anything else..He is the Saviour we need.
Just found this and it was by far one of Dr. Huberman's great interviews. So many of us look to him to evidence based scientific knowledge yet to see the the raw "humanity" of the man himself was so refreshing. That is where we as human beings can relate by connecting with others and hearing their stories by holding presence for others when they speak. Thank you Dhru for holding presence while another speaks. It is becoming a lost art i today's world.
I think laziness perpetuates a sense of shame which really is what will make you freeze when nervous. the fear of failing is driven by shame. If you can forgive your fear of weakness, you stand a larger chance of transforming your fear into motivation.
I relate to him on so many levels… easily irritated, not intrinsically competitive, always working on my inner journey. One of his best interviews IMO.
In this kind of podcast I see Andrew as a human enyoing the conversation, He is letting us know that he has the same struggles with simple things as all of us
I've followed the advices of so many scientists and books, but the only one that litteraly changed my life is Dr Huberman. I can't thank you enough Dr Huberman, may Allah bless you with his mercy and give you more knowledge 🙏
My gosh this is so true for me. If my mood is low and I can’t get motivated to do something I love, going outside in nature-#1, Physical work or exercise-#2, Eating raw until 4 and I feel like a million bucks at 57. Eat processed food wrecks it first, then no movement, then being indoors too long.
I am so glad to hear Dr. Huberman talk about journalling. I am a European therapist and philosopher, and I have kept a journal almost continuously since I was ten. I couldn't imagine my life without doing my "chimney sweeping" day by day - but, oddly, it is only most recently that I have put two and two together and starting encouraging my clients to write a diary. It is a great tool for building emotional literacy, self-management and self-awareness. Apart from that - thank you for all the effort you put into sharing scientific truth and bringing it to bear on our everyday life, on thinking, lifestyle and exercise. Carry on the good work, many thanks and best wishes!
Sitting knitting and I hear the expression Central Pattern Generators. Repetitive movements. Knitting is so therapeutic and relaxing, freeing up energy and helping us to think more independently. It explains why going for a walk gives us much better perspective and why conversations with a walker friend are productive.
The opening of the video and I already know this is going to be good. I’ve felt really low the last couple days, and I can totally agree that getting up and exercising is the most effective way I’ve found to get my mind back on track.
The way Hidden Time Wealth dives into the concept of productivity is mind-blowing. Hidden Time Wealth tips are pure gold, and I wish more people knew about them.
I have severe ptsd and this explained so much for me! I often feel like i have a mental health breakdown which after some time threatens my sense of safety as when my job, home or relational security is affected. That gives me a kick where i can pull my life together really quickly and make these amazing improvements to my standard of living. Eventually i feel safe and keep persisting but slowly my motivation starts to drop and i go back to survival mode. Survival mode doesnt include the mental health protections of intentional living, so i start to break down and the cycle repeats. Living well is so much work but i'm so determined to keep going. Theres so much good in the world that makes it worth it
Reminds me of another old saying: “ if you can’t build a dream (in your mind), then build a nightmare (in your mind). “ In reference to motivation. LOVE this guy !!
Okay , this podcast not only tought me alot about how my mind works but it showed me that even the greats struggle in life and that no ones perfect , its how you get back up and fight ur struggles that gets you to places . I never in a billion years would have thought that andrew was a rebel that failed collage in his younger years ! Thank you for giving me the motivation and courage to tackle my challanges head on again !
I’m so excited that I found Dr.Huberman I’m so impressed with all of his podcast, that’s that’s all I watch , or listen on my drives while on the road Dr.Huberman you are an amazing person!❤❤❤❤❤I wish we had more Doctors in clinics like you! You’re a walking dictionary for the medical profession! You are my hero! Thank you for helping me understand my brain. Which I am the over focused type not lazy
This podcast has so much stuff that can actually help me. And Andrew Huberman has real science backing him up, not just "exercise is good for you". And that's just the tip of the iceberg of subjects he touched upon. I need to watch this a few more times, a great podcast to watch just before the new year! I am optimistic that things can change for me now.
What a joy to listen to. So wonderful to have a host that asks great questions and then allows his guest to talk uninterrupted!!! Thank you both 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
I love how he explains that you have to understand this whole concept thru psychology because he’s right. Had I not educated myself thru the process of learning the human conditioning I wouldn’t had been able to train my brain thru the different life tools I had to use to develop my confidence to put this into practice.
All of this is good. Proper nutrition has been key for me. Especially eating more fats and proteins. Since I went Keto and started doing Intermittent fasting, motivation has changed dramatically and gone through the roof. Blue days are far and few between. It is all connected for sure.
Me too! Thank you for articulating that I hadn't perceived that benefit but now that you mention it I'm wicked good at getting things off my to-do list now since being keto for 8 plus months
I've learned so much from Dr. Andrew Huberman, but I've learned even more from his own personal stories. Thank you so much for asking insightful questions.
When he discusses the rats with depleted dopamine in the beginning, I am reminded of EXACTLY how my extreme episodes of depression feel to me. You know the things to do so you can feel better but, if you literally are so depressed that you just cannot make yourself do those things without EXTREME difficulty.
I really want my son to listen to this at the start of twenty minutes mark. I think it will help him a lot. He is such a light sleeper and a hard physical worker.... he is not getting the right sleep. We need to work on the environment absolutely, but just having this knowledge would relieve some stress, I believe. Thank you!!
I love that he brought in breathing. Yoga has talked about the mind and breathe being linked for ages but the way he describes it as bridge from conscious to unconscious is gold! Thanks you both for an amazing sharing. 🙏🏽
6:30 Fear = sense of insurmountable obstacle = inadequacy. It is fear. We are afraid of trying because we are afraid to find out we are incompetent. This is the relationship between giving up and fear.
I'm here thanks to fear. Which is coming from a diagnosis of severe sleep apnea at the age of 45. Which brings me to rediscovering moving exercice and a balanced diet. And stumbling upon this great content. Fear is totally a great lever and can push us to take action. Better late than never.

Fantastic to see two grown men unpacking mental health topics in such a constructive way. For men it’s still a taboo to talk about this and this episode is a great way to make it an accessible topic
I'm 48 and had similar upbringing. Skateboarding is failure after failure, until it is not. Working out, you don't hit a wall, you're just placing the bricks to climb over later
Andrew Huberman I am very hard to impress and I am very impressed. Your ability to pick the topics to focus on, do the research and then communicate it in a very valuable and impactful way to a large audience is second to none - with a minimum of creativity one can take your perspectives and apply them to the key priorities of ones own critical life priorities - WELL DONE!
@29:10 "I can't make my heart rate speed up just by telling it to" I partially disagree with that statement. It will probably not work when I tell myself "heart rate speed go up now" but when I imagine myself for example being in a fight with somebody with the intention to raise my heart rate, it will work. (I discovered this "tool" in my adolescence intuitively and used it for example to get out of bed because I felt less tired and pumped up by thoughts alone) It will certainly also have an effect on my digestion depending on the neurochemicals I'm releasing. Vice versa works as well, so I think the mind body connection is even more powerful than stated here. Thank you mister Huberman for your quality content, I'm a big fan of your podcast and learned a LOT so far, also thank you to mister Purohit for your Podcast (I just discovered it). Greetings from Luxembourg!
Every second of this video is worthy. I have found so many answers from this single video I have been looking for. Many thanks both of you!! We are so lucky we have been living in this era where we just click a buton and find the intelectual person like Huberman infront of us.
This was my favorite Huberman interview up to date. He really opened up about some things I’ve never heard him talk about and all of the info about neuroscience is invaluable 😀
Props to the guy hosting. This is the first time I've come across this channel. I love the energy and questions, keeping up with a great conversation, this video feels like a cleanse from all the social media garbage out there
Thank you, Dhru. You are doing a great job. I normally don't visit UA-cam. However, for the last 20 days, I have been hooked to your channel. I have learned so much. Discussions are extremely engaging. Thank you once more.
I follow Andrew's podcasts and have listened to several interviews, have enjoyed all very much. What sets this apart is that it is more personal and showed a different side of him. I found this very interesting, well done!
I’ve addressed my depression since 1990. Though I take antidepressants, they’re not a cure all. I literally started resisting getting in the shower because I know mentally I will need to start my day. The anxiety is terrible. I appreciate this video. Thank you.
So exciting to hear yet another Huberman session. I have learnt so much from this man and I’m in total awe of what he knows and how he delivers it. I’m even more excited to hear him talking about hypnotherapy, yoga Nidra, meditation, Breathwork, all things that I do and have done for a number of years with great benefit. I am excited for the day that he discusses the merits of EFT - Emotional Freedom Techniques and other energy psychology tools. ❤️
I am a huge fan of Dr. Andrew Huberman, and I sooo appreciate the level of vulnerability and authenticity he shared here. It just made him even more relatable as a person. Thank you for drawing that out of him.
Prof Huberman never bores and always informs us. Thank you for this excellent and enlightening interview, Dhru! It’s a great supplement to his podcasts! 😋🥳👍😊
Use your body to shift your mind: When your mind is not where you want it to be, engage in physical activities or techniques like deep exhales to redirect your focus and shift your mental state. Recognize the connection between fear and motivation: Understand that fear and motivation are intertwined in the same pathway. Dopamine and epinephrine play important roles in both, and by acknowledging this connection, you can better understand and address your own motivation and laziness. Harness the power of visualization: Take advantage of the brain's ability to create chemicals based on visualizations. Practice gratitude and focus on desired goals to stimulate excitement and motivation. Minimize distractions: Be mindful of the distractions around you, particularly those from electronic devices like phones. Create a sense of order by setting boundaries, such as limiting the number of times you check your phone or using tools to block internet access during focused work periods. Prioritize activities that boost acetylcholine: Consider incorporating activities into your routine that increase acetylcholine levels early in the day and gradually decrease them. This may help optimize your focus and cognitive function throughout the day.
That's real! I got in a slumper and started working out, and it aided in helping me put things into perspective. I personally know you're telling the truth.
This is what the internet should be used for - sharing the best, most effective information we have with the public so that we can all be more healthy and happy. Thank you, Dr. Huberman.
😅
I'm going to use it to post hater comments
It is.

Andrew nailed it when he said we don't need to personally know role models for them to work. He is living proof of that. This man is a game changer.

Fear is a good motivator. For me I felt motivated to turn my life around when I saw my successful twin achieving everything. I felt like I was being left behind and the realization that this fear was already taking place made me go home, have a panic attack and slowly start to wake up. I hadn’t wanted anything-that’s what I told myself, because it was comforting to believe and it gave me permission to stay the same in my cozy underachieving lifestyle. I didn’t feel afraid of dying this way… and that was sad, and yet it was satisfying because I could wallow in self pity then. So when I felt a twinge of fear at seeing my twin accomplish all her dreams,,, I remembered what I wanted. I remembered that, as much as I tried to deny it, I WAS CHOOSING TO TAKE THE EASY WAY OUT. It made me feel unmotivated when I thought about what I wanted… everyone kept asking me what I had planned, and pushed me to decide what I wanted. But since I was so out of touch with what I wanted, I was not willing to own up to my fear of being incompetent. Anyways, thanks for this video-you’ve really changed my mind! ❤
❤thank you for this
Fear has created discipline in me. I work in an ER and see patients come all the time that are obese, sitting in a power scooter and on a bucket of meds. They are regulars here. The meds won't save them. Taking responsibility for their own health will help more than anything else. Daily exercise and healthy eating are the strongest medicine we have. If you want good quality of life, discipline equals freedom.
Such truth of me. Yet, I'm 55 and don't see me choosing better. It is very sad. The shame is heavy.
@mcadams518 Shame doesn't serve any good purpose my friend. It's like your own boot on your neck. I'm 54, my life has completely changed in the last few years. You are never too old.
I got two things from this amazing podcast. They are, use the body to shift the mind, and stop bombarding the mind all day with information that it becomes unable to focus.
Every time I'm alone and there is quiet, even when I'm driving, I have an interview, sermon, science podcast, something running. For some reason, silence is difficult for me.

I really appreciate your reply because it was so packed full of information that when it came to the end, I didn’t know the answer to the title. What is the way to combat laziness? I think your response is the answer. If there's more that anyone got from it I'd love to hear it. For now this helps.
@@barbararuiz2690 me too. Lately ive wondered if its a bad thing
When I was going through domestic abuse, I struggled with two fears: my children raised in a abusive home and my children living without a father in their lives. I had to visualize my grandchildren and great-grandchildren growing up to be abusers or get abused because I didn't break the cycle before they were born. I was motivated to get out. It wasn't easy and other fears messed with me often, but my visualization helped.
Victoria - I respect you so much !! My mom went through 5 husbands. Plenty of her own problems, but knew when it got abusive and/or physical, he had to go. Many people think that would have been so traumatic, but it showed us at least she cared about us, AND to never let someone abuse you. Cheers
I always had hope my ex would pull himself out of his childhood damage. Took me a long time to realize I couldn't help him do that.
What did you choose?
!q😮😮
I can identify so much with your comment. Roll on a decade later, my ex is remarried and since he hasn’t done the work on himself there isn’t any change in his behaviour and my kids still are witnessing abuse, just not with ‘our’ relationship anymore. Courts etc are useless, the kids are seduced enough by his wealth and the need for their biological father to continue to see him. I don’t know how this will end. I’ve even started studying psychology to help them but it’s a daily struggle…

Love these videos.
A thought.
For me, i was always highly motivated, i am a hard worker, was hit by many circumstances that really
worked against me, but i always pushed on. Recreated a life, began over many times, and that hope and belief was
strong in me. I worked out, did a lot of cardio, and worked a lot. For decades.
For me, there has, lately, been a sense of hopelessness. I believe this is strong all over the world in western civilization, ( I cannot speak about civilizations I haven't lived in ) where the carrot on the stick is always slightly out of reach if you
are motivated and work hard, but it is readily given if you are in certain classes.
I have done moderately well, but i spend time and money helping people i care about who didn't get as early a start as I did and are in the middle of these tough times.
I realize all is perception and expectation against reality. I know the philosophy and psychology of it.
But still, in a country like america, where there are politicians living very well off tax payers while criticizing said tax payers,
making policies and decisions that only affect said tax payer adversely, I believe it is a natural depressor for many.
I believe in God, in the prophecies I am literally seeing fulfilled in front of my eyes, and I hold onto the knowledge that He is in control. Still, there are days I just cannot feel terribly motivated and i keep moving forward out of habit. I can say, if you do that, you can keep from destructing your life through those tough times and come out the other side maybe not with changed circumstances, but with the willingness and perspective to keep trying.
Take care of your health, do the work to build your immune system and stay sound in mind and body. Pursue health, get addicted to finding out how to be more healthy and hold onto the people who are important to you and to whom you are important. And don't do so much social media or news, get out into nature and fresh air.
Thank you! Good suggestions
🙏 thank you
I totally Hear You, I feel much the same, many others do. That's why it's important to intentionally control your own life as feeling hopeless will not help you. GREED & UNCARING towards the Citizenry should be punished but it never has been. Humans are the Cancer upon the Earth. The ones with Money & Power are the ones to trust the least. Just keep the focus on your own endeavors & continue to help others as best you can. Purohit & Huberman are some of the Good Guys in our world. THANK GOD THERE ARE GOOD GUYS IN OUR WORLD!

I don't think this relates to the message here. It's more about self-awareness vs. self-consciousness. Humility is a separate topic.

I applauded during the podcast when I learned that OTHERS who are craving to understand neuroscience posted about their implementation of Dr. Huberman's research findings into different areas of their lives. Be it weight loss, yogic breathing, focus or relief from anxiety and past trauma, we are grateful for his contributions to global wellness education. I am a Health and Spanish teacher. Dr. Huberman's teachings benefit me both personally and professionally.
Thank you, Mr. Purohit, for successfully providing a platform for experts with practical and very purposeful messages.
Every word that Dr. Huberman says in this video is solid gold. I want to take this and embed it into my brain so it stays there forever and ever. Thank you both for this talk.
Yeap.
AGREED!
Dr. Huberman is the original BadAss and such a good speaker! And he brings hope to late bloomers like myself.
I want to apply it! I've got so much psychological knowledge or even knowledge of like how our meat is produced here in America and it just causes inner turmoil as I'm not taking action in either area I'm just disappointed in myself and completely disgusted with so many others. They say ignorance is bliss and I get it. Having a thirst for knowledge and knowing stuff makes it a lot harder to live

I never realized this but as a child I used visualization of fear to do better in track. At age 8 onward, I would visualize an alligator on wheels chasing me as I ran a race or jumped. It worked as I won 99% of the time in any event I entered. I must remember this now when I am sitting staring at walls alone. Funny that I instinctively knew that at such a young age but have forgotten it now in adulthood.
This is sad to hear. .that you're sitting alone.
You know..when we know the Lord Jesus we are never alone. When Jesus rose He said He would send the Comforter..this is His Holy Spirit.
We can talk to Him & praise Him..takes our mind off ourself.
Jesus died for you as He did for me. He paid the price for the sin of the world..we can know forgiveness through His work of the cross.
Be blessed. I'm listening to this abit only then looked at comments.
Look to Jesus before anything else..He is the Saviour we need.

There's a nice UA-cam visualisation called Visualise your healthiest Self. By Ally Boothroyd. It's a good start.
PRECISELY! Way to keep it simple. His yoke is easy, and His burden is light.
Just found this and it was by far one of Dr. Huberman's great interviews. So many of us look to him to evidence based scientific knowledge yet to see the the raw "humanity" of the man himself was so refreshing. That is where we as human beings can relate by connecting with others and hearing their stories by holding presence for others when they speak. Thank you Dhru for holding presence while another speaks. It is becoming a lost art i today's world.
Yoga nidra healed my chronic insomnia! Thanks Andrew and Ally!
Andrew’s Huberman is on my committee!
I think laziness perpetuates a sense of shame which really is what will make you freeze when nervous. the fear of failing is driven by shame. If you can forgive your fear of weakness, you stand a larger chance of transforming your fear into motivation.
I relate to him on so many levels… easily irritated, not intrinsically competitive, always working on my inner journey. One of his best interviews IMO.
He has a podcast. Its GOOD.
Me too
In this kind of podcast I see Andrew as a human enyoing the conversation, He is letting us know that he has the same struggles with simple things as all of us
He's a Great professor.
His weekly podcast helps me understand the brain so much more than ever and I've been studying this for 20 years.
👍
What is it about what he says that has helped with your understanding?
He's fantastic
I m glad Dr Huberman doing this to benefit people.
I've followed the advices of so many scientists and books, but the only one that litteraly changed my life is Dr Huberman.
I can't thank you enough Dr Huberman, may Allah bless you with his mercy and give you more knowledge 🙏
My gosh this is so true for me. If my mood is low and I can’t get motivated to do something I love, going outside in nature-#1, Physical work or exercise-#2, Eating raw until 4 and I feel like a million bucks at 57. Eat processed food wrecks it first, then no movement, then being indoors too long.
Dr. Andrew Huberman is brilliant scientists, yet interesting speaker--everytime I listen to him, I learn so much!
I am so glad to hear Dr. Huberman talk about journalling. I am a European therapist and philosopher, and I have kept a journal almost continuously since I was ten. I couldn't imagine my life without doing my "chimney sweeping" day by day - but, oddly, it is only most recently that I have put two and two together and starting encouraging my clients to write a diary. It is a great tool for building emotional literacy, self-management and self-awareness.
Apart from that - thank you for all the effort you put into sharing scientific truth and bringing it to bear on our everyday life, on thinking, lifestyle and exercise. Carry on the good work, many thanks and best wishes!
Sitting knitting and I hear the expression Central Pattern Generators. Repetitive movements. Knitting is so therapeutic and relaxing, freeing up energy and helping us to think more independently. It explains why going for a walk gives us much better perspective and why conversations with a walker friend are productive.
This is phenomenal to watch… stayed through the whole thing and learned so much ❤ Thank you!!
One of the best podcast episodes ever.
FANTASTIC !!!! two very intelligent people. can't get enough...
The opening of the video and I already know this is going to be good. I’ve felt really low the last couple days, and I can totally agree that getting up and exercising is the most effective way I’ve found to get my mind back on track.
The way Hidden Time Wealth dives into the concept of productivity is mind-blowing. Hidden Time Wealth tips are pure gold, and I wish more people knew about them.
I have severe ptsd and this explained so much for me! I often feel like i have a mental health breakdown which after some time threatens my sense of safety as when my job, home or relational security is affected. That gives me a kick where i can pull my life together really quickly and make these amazing improvements to my standard of living. Eventually i feel safe and keep persisting but slowly my motivation starts to drop and i go back to survival mode. Survival mode doesnt include the mental health protections of intentional living, so i start to break down and the cycle repeats.
Living well is so much work but i'm so determined to keep going. Theres so much good in the world that makes it worth it
If it wasn't for my phone I wouldn't have been able to see this...listening to you Andrew !! Without I'm almost hopeless
Reminds me of another old saying: “ if you can’t build a dream (in your mind), then build a nightmare (in your mind). “ In reference to motivation. LOVE this guy !!
Okay , this podcast not only tought me alot about how my mind works but it showed me that even the greats struggle in life and that no ones perfect , its how you get back up and fight ur struggles that gets you to places . I never in a billion years would have thought that andrew was a rebel that failed collage in his younger years ! Thank you for giving me the motivation and courage to tackle my challanges head on again !
I’m so excited that I found Dr.Huberman I’m so impressed with all of his podcast, that’s that’s all I watch
, or listen on my drives while on the road Dr.Huberman you are an amazing person!❤❤❤❤❤I wish we had more Doctors in clinics like you! You’re a walking dictionary for the medical profession! You are my hero! Thank you for helping me understand my brain. Which I am the over focused type not lazy
This podcast has so much stuff that can actually help me. And Andrew Huberman has real science backing him up, not just "exercise is good for you". And that's just the tip of the iceberg of subjects he touched upon. I need to watch this a few more times, a great podcast to watch just before the new year! I am optimistic that things can change for me now.
Free the mind and the body will follow. Conversely, free the body and the mind will follow!
What a joy to listen to. So wonderful to have a host that asks great questions and then allows his guest to talk uninterrupted!!! Thank you both 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
I love how he explains that you have to understand this whole concept thru psychology because he’s right. Had I not educated myself thru the process of learning the human conditioning I wouldn’t had been able to train my brain thru the different life tools I had to use to develop my confidence to put this into practice.
All of this is good. Proper nutrition has been key for me. Especially eating more fats and proteins. Since I went Keto and started doing Intermittent fasting, motivation has changed dramatically and gone through the roof. Blue days are far and few between. It is all connected for sure.
Thanks!
Me too! Thank you for articulating that I hadn't perceived that benefit but now that you mention it I'm wicked good at getting things off my to-do list now since being keto for 8 plus months
What do you eat?
@@LindaHutchings What do you eat?
I have never heard a vegan say their health improved after going vegan.
What a wonder human being, Dr Huberman!
I've learned so much from Dr. Andrew Huberman, but I've learned even more from his own personal stories. Thank you so much for asking insightful questions.
When he discusses the rats with depleted dopamine in the beginning, I am reminded of EXACTLY how my extreme episodes of depression feel to me. You know the things to do so you can feel better but, if you literally are so depressed that you just cannot make yourself do those things without EXTREME difficulty.
I really want my son to listen to this at the start of twenty minutes mark. I think it will help him a lot. He is such a light sleeper and a hard physical worker.... he is not getting the right sleep. We need to work on the environment absolutely, but just having this knowledge would relieve some stress, I believe. Thank you!!
Exactly. I think the same. This reminded me of me and my son. Something i would have said too him.
I love that he brought in breathing. Yoga has talked about the mind and breathe being linked for ages but the way he describes it as bridge from conscious to unconscious is gold! Thanks you both for an amazing sharing. 🙏🏽
6:30 Fear = sense of insurmountable obstacle = inadequacy. It is fear. We are afraid of trying because we are afraid to find out we are incompetent. This is the relationship between giving up and fear.
Yes. Me
I'm here thanks to fear. Which is coming from a diagnosis of severe sleep apnea at the age of 45. Which brings me to rediscovering moving exercice and a balanced diet. And stumbling upon this great content. Fear is totally a great lever and can push us to take action. Better late than never.
Well, that was an impressive interview. I was not aware of either one of these guys. The interviewer had the best questions! I’m a fan of both of them
Here again in 2024 and this man is still my hero. Goodness 😭😮💨😮💨
Andrew is the director of my mental committee!
The concept of Hidden Time Wealth blew my mind. It’s like finding a cheat code for productivity and defeating procrastination.
I always learn a ton from Huberman! His IG classes are awesome.
I can listen to him all day!! Especially when Im working out!
Hidden Time Wealth blew my mind. I’ve shared it with friends, and they’re all amazed at how much more productive they've become.
I am glad he discussed phone addiction and productivity. This thing is really problematic. Nice tips for controlling it 👍

I’m naturally an anxious person and I have always been driven by fear. But it has been over the top and I’m so tired.
Fantastic to see two grown men unpacking mental health topics in such a constructive way. For men it’s still a taboo to talk about this and this episode is a great way to make it an accessible topic
Love the story about the coach. Amazing how one person can change a life.
I learn something very important about fear today. This is life changing.
EVERYONE LOVES ANDREW!
I'm 48 and had similar upbringing. Skateboarding is failure after failure, until it is not. Working out, you don't hit a wall, you're just placing the bricks to climb over later
This is a beautiful talk. Thank you for pressing on toward the higher calling.💪🙏
What higher calling!?
Andrew Huberman I am very hard to impress and I am very impressed. Your ability to pick the topics to focus on, do the research and then communicate it in a very valuable and impactful way to a large audience is second to none - with a minimum of creativity one can take your perspectives and apply them to the key priorities of ones own critical life priorities - WELL DONE!
This is my first time listening to either of you and I found it fantastic. Thank you so much and greetings from Colombia, South America.
Is indescribable how this guy [Huberman] always helps me.
@29:10 "I can't make my heart rate speed up just by telling it to" I partially disagree with that statement. It will probably not work when I tell myself "heart rate speed go up now" but when I imagine myself for example being in a fight with somebody with the intention to raise my heart rate, it will work. (I discovered this "tool" in my adolescence intuitively and used it for example to get out of bed because I felt less tired and pumped up by thoughts alone) It will certainly also have an effect on my digestion depending on the neurochemicals I'm releasing. Vice versa works as well, so I think the mind body connection is even more powerful than stated here.
Thank you mister Huberman for your quality content, I'm a big fan of your podcast and learned a LOT so far, also thank you to mister Purohit for your Podcast (I just discovered it).
Greetings from Luxembourg!
Every second of this video is worthy. I have found so many answers from this single video I have been looking for. Many thanks both of you!! We are so lucky we have been living in this era where we just click a buton and find the intelectual person like Huberman infront of us.
That was so wonderful for Dr Huberman to open up about his life and the way his mind works. Thankyou for hosting this elucidating conversation Dhru!
Drew, thank you for having one of my favorite podcasters and scientists on your program, Dr. Andrew Huberman, ❤
This was my favorite Huberman interview up to date. He really opened up about some things I’ve never heard him talk about and all of the info about neuroscience is invaluable 😀
Props to the guy hosting. This is the first time I've come across this channel. I love the energy and questions, keeping up with a great conversation, this video feels like a cleanse from all the social media garbage out there
Go doctor Huberman❤!! Your sharing of massive information to the masses has really improved my life and millions of others!
Yes I agree as well as teaching creativity it helps me with anxiety crochet quilling macrame yoga learning about our bodies without meditation
Great interview- Dhru asks the right questions- a pleasure to listen to both of these „shiny“, tuned-in people! Thank you!!
Thank you, Dhru. You are doing a great job. I normally don't visit UA-cam. However, for the last 20 days, I have been hooked to your channel. I have learned so much. Discussions are extremely engaging. Thank you once more.
I follow Andrew's podcasts and have listened to several interviews, have enjoyed all very much. What sets this apart is that it is more personal and showed a different side of him. I found this very interesting, well done!
You're not missing out on anything! God will see you thru! All you have to do is pray.
Wow this the first NEW info i have heard from the self development world in many years. thank you!
Huberman has changed my life forever and my loved ones .. Thank you
I’ve addressed my depression since 1990. Though I take antidepressants, they’re not a cure all. I literally started resisting getting in the shower because I know mentally I will need to start my day. The anxiety is terrible. I appreciate this video. Thank you.
I think taking cold shower much better
Could you skip showers some days ( or do them at night ) to help break that link ? Hopefully. Good luck and cheers
Huberman strikes again !! He explains things so well !! I learn so much from all his videos.
So exciting to hear yet another Huberman session. I have learnt so much from this man and I’m in total awe of what he knows and how he delivers it. I’m even more excited to hear him talking about hypnotherapy, yoga Nidra, meditation, Breathwork, all things that I do and have done for a number of years with great benefit. I am excited for the day that he discusses the merits of EFT - Emotional Freedom Techniques and other energy psychology tools. ❤️
Me too, I swear it's just a matter of time!
I am a huge fan of Dr. Andrew Huberman, and I sooo appreciate the level of vulnerability and authenticity he shared here. It just made him even more relatable as a person. Thank you for drawing that out of him.
Prof Huberman never bores and always informs us. Thank you for this excellent and enlightening interview, Dhru! It’s a great supplement to his podcasts! 😋🥳👍😊
This man is a Godsend. Thank you so much,
Oooh. I need to hear this repeatedly.
Thank you VERY MUCH 🥰❤️❤️❤️
Wow! So much here! Thank you!
Use your body to shift your mind: When your mind is not where you want it to be, engage in physical activities or techniques like deep exhales to redirect your focus and shift your mental state.
Recognize the connection between fear and motivation: Understand that fear and motivation are intertwined in the same pathway. Dopamine and epinephrine play important roles in both, and by acknowledging this connection, you can better understand and address your own motivation and laziness.
Harness the power of visualization: Take advantage of the brain's ability to create chemicals based on visualizations. Practice gratitude and focus on desired goals to stimulate excitement and motivation.
Minimize distractions: Be mindful of the distractions around you, particularly those from electronic devices like phones. Create a sense of order by setting boundaries, such as limiting the number of times you check your phone or using tools to block internet access during focused work periods.
Prioritize activities that boost acetylcholine: Consider incorporating activities into your routine that increase acetylcholine levels early in the day and gradually decrease them. This may help optimize your focus and cognitive function throughout the day.
That's real! I got in a slumper and started working out, and it aided in helping me put things into perspective. I personally know you're telling the truth.
❤thank you for your amazing summary!
