I do both movement (walking) and no body movement to enter a more creative state. It depends on how much energy I need to facilitate the state I wish to enter as to which one suits
One of the things that sets Andrew Huberman apart from other podcasters is his humility and graciousness in referencing by name his fellow scientists and their work and how they’ve contributed to the body of knowledge we all seek, rather than just referencing that knowledge. No doubt this attests to his unflinching efforts to seek truth from all sources and his ability to get such amazing guests on his podcasts. Thank you, and keep up the great work, Andrew Huberman!
Please forgive me and ignore this question if it has already been addressed in the podcast - I’m just about 50 or so minutes in… It’s a bout boosting creativity. Does the following make sense: 1. A person who is shutting off the physical side of the body by being still has more energy and resources channeled to mental output - hence the increase in creativity by elevating the processing power needed. 2. A person shutting of the brain by focusing on physical activity, E.g. running, is in fact shutting of the conscious and accessing/opening the door for the unconscious to express boosting creativity again. Maybe some individuals have a tendency to lean one way or the other, maybe everyone can benefit from both… We need more way to access the unconscious! 💪 Thank you professor for allowing so many people to learn and explore the world beside you! I’m eternally grateful and wish you the best of luck and tons of fulfilment in your future endeavours!
I'm 28 and feel like I have to start from zero again, I'm feeling lost and hopeless, i hope to find a way by listening to my favorite person ever Andrew Huberman ❤️. Lots of love from Iran.

Dr. Huberman I'd like to contribute my experience with the journaling protocol you shared last week. I did it based on your recommendation alone, started the same day and pulled all the stops, picked the event that has certainly traumatized me the most in my life and did the half and hour of journaling four consecutive days. It was not fun experience, if discomfort scale 1-10 is assumed worst I ever felt was 9 (as I can imagine worse situations) and I've had many very, very painful moments, event in question was an 8 at the moment (I was not molested if anyone is curious) and a journaling was easily 6, for comparison freezing cold water immersion or debilitating muscle soreness I would put around 4 and being put on a spot by authority figure in front of my peers 3 at the most. By the day three I woke up early dreading the journaling and did it right away before anything else just to get it over with and I was cranky and anxious the whole day. I am usually very very happy person, in some part thanks to protocols you've shared over the years, but I'll tell you on the fourth day I don't remember when was I so happy for not having to go over journaling again. Aside from the momentary relief, pain/pleasure balance was certainly offset and damn if I am not proud for muscling through the whole process. As for the intrusive thoughts about the event, I feel like they are far less often, like I got drained of thoughts about it. When they crop up they aren't as harmful as I see how trivial they are in comparison with the real event or forced non-stop writing about it for half an hour in great factual and emotional detail, I think that has also a side effect of me not being afraid to trigger them as I was. I also haven't got a desire to ruminate on the subject, something I did occasionally, because now I know how that rumination can make me feel if taken far enough. So thank you for sharing this protocol with us, you are changing lives with your science communication.
@@hubermanlab Thank you, I certainly wouldn't have tried it if you didn't give it such a great review, you are one of the few people I don't know personally, but am willing to take their word for something.
I also started journaling and by day 2 my tone completely changed 😂 went from 100% negativity to 90% positivity. I actually felt that I didn’t need to do two more days because I felt like I’ve already overcome the trauma. Crazy how our mind works.
One of the best episodes of Andrew huberman podcast I’ve listened to! Took so many notes! Adam grant on Andrew huberman: A lot of us a lot of times have these thinking modes: Preachers Great sales people, visionary leaders Prosecutors Highly effective scientists, excel at criticizing other ppl’s work and finding what’s wrong with it Politicians Great at carrying Favor, they do a lot of lobbying and win approval All think they’re right. Look like you’re not open. Hard to reason with. To disagree thoughtfully with you. So humility to know what you don’t know, and the curiosity to constantly seek new knowledge Not trying to prove I’m right, trying to know if I’m wrong! Assumptions are meant to be pressure tested, if you’re not open to rethinking your views you have turned thinking into religion.(data vs blind faith) Most ppl live in the land of confirmation bias, looking for support for their pre existing beliefs There’s strong evolutionary pressure to avoid social exclusion. By definition your blind spots are invisible to you. You should expose yourself with people you disagree with you. People who reach different conclusions from you but you respect the integrity of their thought process. They challenge your views. Listen to ideas that make you think hard not just the ones that make you feel good. Too focused on what I think and not curious enough about how I think Authenticity without boundaries is careless Authenticity without empathy is selfish Is it what I’m about to do or say consistent with my principles? Sometimes you will be false to your Personality in order to be consistent with your values Sincerity vs authenticity Bringing outside in vs bringing inside out What do I stand for and if what I’m about to communicate is not consistent with that maybe I should self censor If you wanna reach your potential and achieve more than you think you’re capable of 1. become a creature of discomfort and embracing things that are unpleasant or awkward for you 2. Being a sponge and soaking up new info and filtering what might not be useful 3. Being an imperfectionist: knowing when to aim for excellence and when to settle for good Perfectionism is a recipe for burnout and depression and anxiety because you’re constantly comparing yourself to an ideal that is unachievable. They do get slightly better grades in school because there’s a predictable outcome. But at work performance is nebulous. They optimize the things that are predictable and controllable and miss the forest and trees. Perfect 10 is for excellence not perfection. Aim for 9 for stuff that are important so you don’t end up getting 9s on a bunch of trivial stuff. Some early success builds momentum and you move the goal every time. But achieving your goals can make you complacent but the world changes around you. You are never done. If I never fail it means I’m not challenging myself. Im not embracing discomfort. Create an acceptable zone of failure to motivate risk taking and growth Great minds challenge each other to think differently. For a topic to be Interesting, clear, actionable and surprising, data to support it and scientific. Given the baseline of rigor (self relevance) Ideas live not because they’re true but because they’re interesting. For an idea to be interesting intriguing, most of interest is surprise Bad actually good vice versa Homogenous actually heterogeneous Individual vs collective phenomenon Ideas that challenge weakly assumptions intriguing you Ideas that challenge strongly held assumptions offending you Narcissism at its core is deep envy extreme deficit in pleasure By giving people language to articulate what they felt They feel more connected and less alone and the feeling passes more easily (name it to tame it) Moments of languishing opens us up to change and growth!
When I was an adolescent in the 1980s, there was no Andrew Huberman to guide me through challenging times, so I relied on the lyrics of the Clash. It was gratifying to hear you pay homage to the great Joe Strummer amidst many practical beliefs tested by research. This is probably my 30th podcast of yours I’ve listened to, and the respect only grows, with deep thanks.
This is my favorite episode hands down. I learned so much about myself and how to improve. I really appreciate the mix of casual conversation, personal examples, experiments, metaphors, hypotheticals, and science-backed insights. My 23 year old self was thoroughly engaged (which is rare) so thank you thank you thank you
Adam Grant gives off the vibes of an incredibly wise friend who's super articulate with his words and can explain anything to anyone in a matter of a few short sentences. Pairing him up with Professor Huberman is immense.
Thinking about potential gets compromised by bordom, lack of interest affects kids on the ASD spectrum.i would like to hear more about ideas to help a child diagnosed with ASD level 1 with 99% in visual-spacial test score but miserably failing at school, particularly writing
Adam grant is like huberman for the social sciences-- always breaking down complex topics into easy to understand, actionable tools. So glad to see the worlds of biology and social science collide. Grant's books have helped me breakthrough so many mental roadblocks in my life and shift my perspective in profound ways, while the huberman lab podcast has helped me understand and improve my physiology. Two amazing human beings sharing their love of knowledge with the world. What an awesome conversation!
I’ve adopted a similar practice to Adam’s, which is to loosely collect my ideas but then deliberately pause before drafting a creative idea and then start work on the end product. This conscious decision to pause (“shelf”) a project to allow for my ideas to get focused with more intentionality has repeatedly yielded greater success in the eventual outcome. If it’s not in your nature to practice this (or even if it is), I highly recommend you try it and either start or keep practicing it. I call it “pressing the pause button.”
Huberman is truly a hero of our time, given the immense contribution he’s making to our generation. Thanks to him, we have the opportunity to better understand ourselves and others from a scientific perspective. I think it would be amazing to integrate his teachings into formal education. Also It’s practically essential for any self-aware adult who is committed to continuous self-improvement. Honestly, if I could, I’d prescribe Huberman as a cure for all ailments-because saving minds one podcast at a time is a pretty heroic feat!
I usually never comment, but this is now my favorite podcast episode I've ever watched. It was just infectious to see how much respect they had for each other. They were able to relate so closely to one another's experiences while offering their own unique perspectives and insights. They were so engaged and genuinely interested in what the other had to say that the dance between listening and responding was so smooth that it almost felt coordinated. Their love and passion for the topics kept me engaged the whole episode (so much, in fact, that I watched this whole episode in 1 sitting while hungoveer on a sunday LOL). All this while dropping interesting, clear, actionable, surprising, AND self relevant insights 😂 I only recently got into Dr. Huberman's content, but now I'm a fan his AND Dr. Grant's. Thanks for this gem, good sirs 🙏💪
OMG had to comment because I’m listening for the 1st time..on a Sunday and I’m hungover 😂😂 Still…Taking notes like a good student of course. This is too good not too. 😎
Hi Andrew I just want to say a big thank you. I was a heavy drinker and hooked on Seroquel. I found your podcasts haven't had any in 2.5 months and don't even feel like alcohol. I just want to say without watching you I wouldn't be where I am today.
I ❤your videos. Helping people with self discovery GOD gave us the earth and everything in it in order to discover how to master the gifts he has given. We were given the gift to create this be free to learn create an d grow.
This episode become my personal favorite of all Dr. Huberman’s episodes! 😃 I learned so many awesome and practical ideas and wrote down a lot of quotes! Particularly liked to hear about the idea of asking for advice instead of the feedback and also proactively saying people about their strengths! I wish everyone did this form time to time 🙏 Also the “Authenticity without boundaries is careless, authenticity without empathy is selfish” totally resonates with my understanding!
I don’t know about y’all but while I LOVE listening to Dr. Hubermans podcasts, sometimes I just want the nuggets of information he has to offer. Anyone else the same?
3:00:10 Adam’s story just moved me to tears😢. Looking forward to your parenting book! Please do it Adam and thanks Andrew for another exceptional episode. 💕
Dear Andrew; for someone who has been wandering throughout life, your videos have awakened a deep desire to realise how powerful intent can be. I watched your first video late at night and as I fell in a state of half wakefulness; I kept hearing your message. I woke up today with much desire to relisten all that you have to say.
Andrew, your recent podcasts exploring diverse topics beyond the realm of pure biology have been profoundly impactful e.g. growth mindset, willpower, journaling, and mental health, among others. The best part is these topics incorporate so many zero-cost behavioral tools. Your dedication to helping people globally is evident, and your work is nothing short of tremendous the way you seamlessly weave together so many scientific concepts and tools in a single episode in such a digestible way for the listeners. Please, Andrew, continue to explore and share more of these thought-provoking topics. Thank you for your commitment to our knowledge and personal growth. ❤ p.s. would love to see episodes on cross-gender dynamics, purpose/meaning in life, and more topics on behavioral sciences like the episode of Maya Shankar
I love the discussion about being still and stimulating creativity. I’ve noticed my creativity increases with activity like running where I’m active and not focused on anything, but when playing tennis I’m so focused that I don’t have creative thoughts.
I agree, great topic suggestion! I was also thinking a podcast on perfectionism would be fantastic, which I imagine could be closely linked to self-esteem.
Regarding motivation for something you find uninteresting, a brilliant friend of mine (with multiple advanced degrees) puts it like this: "for someone in this field, they find it fascinating. My job right now is to find out what that is." Self-induced curiosity gap creation!
Dr Huberman is such an outstandingly engaging and present host/interviewer. Started out as a professor, evolved to S Tier knowledge advocate. He brings out the very best in each guest. This man will be doing this for 20-30 years. I predict 15+ million subscribers at his best.
Cursor is Latin for 'runner', "cursorem". This word was chosen to refer to the mouse pointer because there is an object on a slide rule called a cursor, that can be set at any point. Originating in the 15th century, a “cursor” or “courser” was a runner or messenger (the word comes from Latin for “runner”).
#1 Podcast episode ever. I'm a fan of both Adam Grant and Andrew Huberman, but together you two can really help this world evolve to a better future. Please do the tag team podcast together!
Wow! I will listen to this episode a second time. It’s where neuro science and psychology meet and I love both fields. I am now subscribed to Dr Adam Grant’s channel as well. You are both aware of the words you choose and successfully manage to express them clearly. I’m just blown away with all this information! We need people like you helping us understand ourselves and others. So thank you very much! 😊
As always, Dr. H drops the health and wellness bombs that enrich our lives and promotes lifelong learning about the importance of taking action and living better. I’m am grateful. Thank You.
I was so inspired by this episode that I felt inclined to find it on RUclips to leave you a comment. I appreciate your humility with expressing your early struggles with school, and what it was like for you to want to try to catch up - I'm in a similar boat, and last year I finally took the leap to begin studying clinical health psychology, and I got into the MS program I really wanted. In a lot of ways, you modeled the possibility of taking that leap for me, and I'm really grateful. Your exploration around themes of curiosity in this podcast inspired me to dive into the role of curiosity for a project I had to pick a topic on, and I'm glad I did. Thank you for everything you do Dr. Huberman, I appreciate your work a great deal from over here in Michigan.
There are so many grand points made. I cannot wait to listen to this over again. Baseline of rigor..... yes!!!!! WWF - suspending belief and understanding that in the moment unscripted happens. Such is live theater, dance, etc. sports .... My older brother brought me up on WWF, was a magician and appreciated how others felt. He was the most amazing human at 'seeing' others and making everyone feel like they were most important to him. Not because he held same beliefs, but because he cared that others felt heard and related to. He passed away suddenly in 2020. His People-ability is one for which to strive. Thank you for this extraordinary conversation. 🤯
100% Adam should host said podcast AND write a science fiction novel! Also, happy belated birthday Andrew and thanks for sharing your four goals for science communication. I was a disaster epidemiologist pre-COVID and during the pandemic, and have since been obsessed with how science is communicated. Your podcast is a gift to so many, thank you.
When two great people researching critical topics collide and help us to shape our mind and body. Cause body shapes the mind. Mind shapes the behaviour. Behaviour shapes our future. Thanks for the episode👍🏻
Andrew - first of all, thank you for everything you do - You've reignited my love for science over the course of the last year or so, after having lost it back in my undergrad days studying physiology A couple of suggestions for topics that I think could be fascinating and very popular podcasts: - Burnout and strategies for overcoming it - across public services, corporate and small businesses, leaders and HR departments are seeing a huge increase in absence due to burnout and stress - a greater understanding of what this phenomenon really is, and how individuals and organisations might help avoid burnout, would be awesome - The neuroscience behind the post-partum changes in both mothers and fathers. I think there's lots out there that can be found regarding the post-partum time for mothers (but there is always space for more guidance and advice) but often there's a lack of information for new fathers - this is such an intense emotional period for new parents and it would be fascinating to understand the changes that are actually happening in the brain, and how to make the most of this special time in life Thanks again!
That 1.06 pause was so awesome. So much self reflection. Self awareness . Learning from curiosity is the way, being able to still be in awe from learning is gold. You are my sensei, so much respect and so much love 🙏🏽
I like the way you commented. It reminds me when I was a kid and having a pleasure of obtaining an answer for just asking simple stuff, now we have so much in our favor that make's it even more fun!
I love the moment at the end where Dr. Grant shares his experience with his daughter and public speaking. Thank you for sharing that Dr. Grant. It touched me.

This is such a brain treat. I read all of Adam Grant's books so far, and planning on gifting a few for holidays. Growth mind set is everything, no matter who you are and where you come from. The more limited minded people try to put and keep you down, because of their own insecurities, the more you owe it to yourself to respect yourself and lift yourself up. And all of it can be done quietly and respectfully, not in arrogant way or alike. ♥
Thank you SFO delay in 2017. I wandered into the bookstore and found Originals and Adam Grant. It influenced me to make some changes and I'm now on a different path. I have many things on the wall above my desk but AG quote about happiness and success is in the center. Surrounded by cartoons, drawings, Shakespeare and to-dos and other reminders. AG really understands the creative brain. Im still amazed that one book had so much impact on me. And im a writer. Love to AH too of course. ❤

Please do humanity a favor and start a podcast together. Soooo much to learn from the two of you together. This ranks as a top podcast episode among any podcast ever. Thank you.
I really enjoyed the podcast with Dr. Adam Grant; so much useful info here. I found myself pausing a few times to make notes on how a particlar idea might apply to my own goals and pursuits. One thing Dr. Grant said, however, sparked in me a desire to reply... which was his casual reference to religion as "blind faith." I understand, of course, there are religions other than Christianity; and that many people lack faith in God at least in part because of negative experiences with religious organizations and/or people. But in my experience there are a lot of highly intelligent people who are believers; And most people who do not believe the Bible have not actually read it--at least in it's entirety--for themselves with an open mind. Those who have realize that this is an amazing document, with countless self-references that speak to it's credibility. For just one example, Psalm 22, written by King David (in first-person mind you) hundreds of years before Jesus was born, describes the events (recorded in the Gospels) that surrounded the death of Jesus in remarkable and specific detail. Not only did Jesus say the things David had foretold (which a critic could say was deliberate), but things that were said and done by bystanders, as well as Jesus' enemies also match with chilling accuracy. Isaiah 53 is similar with respect to foreshadowing details of Christ's death. There are so many other examples of this throughout the Bible--in addition to all the ways that secular history parallels the Biblical record--that, as I've heard said, "If this book is not from God, I have no explanation for it!" For the true Bible student, which I've been for over 50 years, it is not blind faith. But again, great podcast gentlemen! Andrew... I am really enjoying learning from you. Thank you and keep doing great work!
Perfect for a Monday Morning and for closing the year. Andrew Huberman you already have unlocked our potential. You have given us the tools to know ourselves from the inside out from a compassionate SCIENTIFIC lense 💪🏽💜🧠 Eternally grateful
Autonomy, especially children and all humans. Explaining usually directs them to not have any interest. Question them to question themselves, grabs their interest to have the control which helps retain more interest. I love your podcasts , every day starts my day with positive mindset very grounding.
We get distracted by getting to the destination and we miss all of the magic on the way. The growth is in the journey. No Weak Sauce should be the name of Adam’s new podcast. I think I’d be a big fan.
Incredible episode! Timing could not have been better. I’m always very active but I’m down today with an injury and was oddly falling into a little depression, languishing, after the excitement of celebrating two joyful days for my 58th birthday then Christmas. ‘Knowledge is power’ and I feel so much better. Two genius minds not only bringing such clarity and ideas for your listeners but seemed to also do so for each other. Let us know when Dr Grant implements a couple of his wrestling like podcasts…trans in sports and the constitution sound like two epic discussions. I wish I had half your knowledge and grateful for all your wisdom you continually share with such incredible guests. Love Dr Adam Grant! He’s brilliant, too! Big fan!🙏🏻💝🤙🏻
Happy Birthday Dr. Huberman ! I hope one day to be able to return the transformative gift you have given me. I went from being off track to being able to create new roads that one could never imagine possible, for that I am eternally grateful. Wish you all the best !
Key is to know your chronotype and block off time and schedule your life around it. For women there’s another layer, knowing our chronotype and our monthly hormonal cycle and syncing work and home life to match our energy and mood levels allows us to optimize our best times for the most important tasks
This episode blew my mind and produced so many nuggets of wisdom and intrigue! (and many new questions...) "ideas live not because they're true but because they're interesting" (I wonder how this applies to or impacts people with ADHD?) "Interest: What drives interest?" • surprise! • draws on self-reflection • helps us to understand others • makes new connections (synergy & creativity) • gives language to something that is felt or intuited but difficult to articulate (^^I wonder how this can be leverage to help visual-spatial learners who may have less access to words) • enriches your worldview • communicates you're not alone in experience And SO MANY more! I will be listening to this episode more than once for sure. Thank you Dr. Huberman and Dr. Grant for making this world a much more interesting place!!
Being able to reflect, daydream, stop the active mind, becoming mindful allows a reset that enables a mental reboot. The particles cycle in this way. Perhaps we did not know how important the need for the rest stop. A default mode, a reboot. Enjoyed thoroughly! Thank-you.
I was delighted to meet you at the VETS event a couple of weeks ago. You're every bit as gracious and engaging in person. This conversation with Adam was one of my favorite episodes. I've been following his work for years and love the concepts of scaffolding and coaching. It's been immensely valuable in my teaching, particularly with medical students and residents.
Dr. Huberman, listening to your shows with guests or alone are the best thing to happen in my life in years. I miss intelligent conversations and voices so incredibly much. You have helped me in so many ways mentally and physically, but since that June heat wave hit here, both my two year old cat and I are rapidly declining, she can't even climb a tree anymore when being attacked by a gigantic cat surrounded by easy to climb trees, I in the same condition, now. n being attacked by a gigantic cat surrounded by easy to climb trees, I in the same condition, now. Please stay safe and well. Thank you for being so wise and human. You, too, Adam, thank you very much.
I love Adam's energy! He is such a positive person to be around. I just love his personality! It's hard to find humble people like him! Invite him back Andrew ❤
Love this guest podcast episode! It was especially interesting to see two very different personality types work in collaboration towards honest and open communication. After all, the truth sets you free. 💕
THIS IS INCREDIBLE. Professor Grant's work output is inspiring - and to see him on Huberman Lab discussing theory & protocols will be awesome. Looking forward to this!
One of the of things I'm looking forward to on this podcast is getting a protocol for creative work as a professional who happens to be a mother, not a father. We hear a lot about the "mental load". We'll. How to best unload it for creative work? "Karl's creative process" with 5 kids is likely a partner who shoulders the mental load. We need this, and yesterday.

Sharing your own experience, insights and struggles are a blessing to the listeners. I am a chronic overachiever with ADHD and have years of gaslighting and invalidation and hearing that all humans struggle, was the therapy I needed. Plus Huberman and Grant are my favorite go to people for insight and knowledge. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!
Adam you definitely need to do that tag team podcast! We learn so much from debate because ideas face resistance and only the strongest survive. It's a brilliant idea.
Agree that it would be amazing to have Adam host the tag team podcast and unpack trans athletics policy. SO true that even those in the field of equity in athletics are grappling with what it can look like to be inclusive in athletics in this way.
That was one of the best HL episodes packed with wonderful information; Adam Grant’s expansive knowledge on human behavior, along with his intricate yet fluid use of language is so captivating. His NYT article from a couple of years ago on languish was such an Aha-moment for me, and I was glad he made a mention of it here. Thank you Andrew for bringing him on and for always being such a wonderful, gracious host; your seamlessly organic approach (although I’m sure you spend a lot of time preparing there material prior to each episode) and reflective listening and anecdotes in this episode were indeed refreshing. This was truly insightful. Hoping you and Grant will be able to collaborate on the proposed study.
Extrinsic Rewards - The part where Adam Grant was talking about raking the leaves was interesting, because it helps us to understand that we do many things without knowledge of the purpose. Most trees were designed so that their leaves fall seasonally. That is not for the purpose of humans raking them up. The purpose is to provide the ground or soil with nutrition, aka mulch. So it’s actually more beneficial for a person not to rake all the leaves, but to leave some as mulch. However, we have moved away from the idea that we should grow our own food and protect soil health. So, a lot of people don’t know about how our food is grown, so that we receive the most nutrition. Washing the dishes is important because we don’t want to leave bacteria on them and get sick. I feel for parents with young children because it’s almost like they need a degree in knowledge of everything.
Sending in my vote for Adam’s podcast!!!!! And the two barb wire topics!!! This whole episode is the sexiest brain child, you two are brilliant!! Thank you!
Thank you so much for this podcast. And to Dr. Grant. Maybe a future episode could be on introvert vs extrovert? I'm a proud introvert. Have been since childhood. My mother thought i was shy. Nah! As then, and now, just time alone to mentally recharge.
I have spent like 3 days to listen to this podcast, but in the end it 1000% worth it. Wish I had time to do it without interruptions. Just a treasure of advices to implement. Thank you both
I wondered if sharing some of my own collection of knowledge that I find valuable would make it challenging to collect more. Now I know that it would. I also think that the key of knowing when to share it makes the difference. That key seems to be when we want to improve how we are feeling to get us back to feeling satisfied with our own self-known symptoms of well-being.
I am a kinesthetic learner. I have had some of my best ideas and life directing thoughts while bicycling, walking etc. My work was physical, and I had to teach, motivate and hopefully empower people while we were moving. I would love for you and Dr. Grant to collaborate on a study regarding those of us who do best while moving, and those who do so being still . Thanks for sharing your knowledge with all of us!
Focus on two key objectives. Learn when to sell stocks to minimize losses and maximize gains to start protecting yourself. Second, prepare to make money when the market turns around. I advise speaking with a broker or financial counselor.
Choosing a IRA is advantageous as it uses after-tax funds and allows tax-free growth. When I retired, I had $3M million saved, and I won't be taxed on my withdrawals.
I am new to the stock market. For every stock that I bought so far, I was out of luck because I bought them when they were expensive. I feel I missed out on all the stock opportunities so far for the tech stocks.I believe having 150K yearly income would be a good investment so I want to plug all my savings into the stock market. I know this sounds a bit dull but I would like to know if I should learn investing or let somebody else (more capable like a FA) do it for me? Please share your thoughts. I am kind of tired of searching for a good stock to buy and losing all the good opportunities.

Helpful conversation! I'm a beginner in stock. Thanks for sharing. I curiously searched for her full name and her website popped up immediately. I looked through her credentials and did my due diligence before contacting her.
'I want your brain' could there be a more humble and appreciative compliment? Thank you BOTH EVER SO MUCH....... ❤ Best conversation I have been witness to.... THIS IS HOW TO LISTEN, HEAR, and APPRECIATE one another and grow forward!
What a great episode! I’ll have to rewatch with a notebook and pen 😉 Also, Happy Birthday Andrew. P.S. I like to think Costello is blissfully gnawing on a bone in his afterlife 🦴

I do both movement (walking) and no body movement to enter a more creative state. It depends on how much energy I need to facilitate the state I wish to enter as to which one suits
Andrew, is it true that you're a cheater?
One of the things that sets Andrew Huberman apart from other podcasters is his humility and graciousness in referencing by name his fellow scientists and their work and how they’ve contributed to the body of knowledge we all seek, rather than just referencing that knowledge. No doubt this attests to his unflinching efforts to seek truth from all sources and his ability to get such amazing guests on his podcasts. Thank you, and keep up the great work, Andrew Huberman!
Great 👍🎉 comment. With 💕 love and respect from Lagos Nigeria
Amen!
Please forgive me and ignore this question if it has already been addressed in the podcast - I’m just about 50 or so minutes in…
It’s a bout boosting creativity.
Does the following make sense:
1. A person who is shutting off the physical side of the body by being still has more energy and resources channeled to mental output - hence the increase in creativity by elevating the processing power needed.
2. A person shutting of the brain by focusing on physical activity, E.g. running, is in fact shutting of the conscious and accessing/opening the door for the unconscious to express boosting creativity again.
Maybe some individuals have a tendency to lean one way or the other, maybe everyone can benefit from both…
We need more way to access the unconscious! 💪
Thank you professor for allowing so many people to learn and explore the world beside you!
I’m eternally grateful and wish you the best of luck and tons of fulfilment in your future endeavours!
I'm 28 and feel like I have to start from zero again, I'm feeling lost and hopeless, i hope to find a way by listening to my favorite person ever Andrew Huberman ❤️. Lots of love from Iran.
26 here, we got this dude!
If you are alive then there is hope🙏

Keep Going man❤❤
Thank you!
Dude… thank you!
Thanks
Also +100 points for the Adam’s idea for the podcast on controversial topics!
Dr. Huberman I'd like to contribute my experience with the journaling protocol you shared last week. I did it based on your recommendation alone, started the same day and pulled all the stops, picked the event that has certainly traumatized me the most in my life and did the half and hour of journaling four consecutive days. It was not fun experience, if discomfort scale 1-10 is assumed worst I ever felt was 9 (as I can imagine worse situations) and I've had many very, very painful moments, event in question was an 8 at the moment (I was not molested if anyone is curious) and a journaling was easily 6, for comparison freezing cold water immersion or debilitating muscle soreness I would put around 4 and being put on a spot by authority figure in front of my peers 3 at the most. By the day three I woke up early dreading the journaling and did it right away before anything else just to get it over with and I was cranky and anxious the whole day. I am usually very very happy person, in some part thanks to protocols you've shared over the years, but I'll tell you on the fourth day I don't remember when was I so happy for not having to go over journaling again. Aside from the momentary relief, pain/pleasure balance was certainly offset and damn if I am not proud for muscling through the whole process. As for the intrusive thoughts about the event, I feel like they are far less often, like I got drained of thoughts about it. When they crop up they aren't as harmful as I see how trivial they are in comparison with the real event or forced non-stop writing about it for half an hour in great factual and emotional detail, I think that has also a side effect of me not being afraid to trigger them as I was. I also haven't got a desire to ruminate on the subject, something I did occasionally, because now I know how that rumination can make me feel if taken far enough. So thank you for sharing this protocol with us, you are changing lives with your science communication.
Thank you for sharing your experience and congratulations on completing the journaling protocol. That’s no small feat!
@@hubermanlab Thank you, I certainly wouldn't have tried it if you didn't give it such a great review, you are one of the few people I don't know personally, but am willing to take their word for something.
Wow. Now I’m curious to look back at that episode
I also started journaling and by day 2 my tone completely changed 😂 went from 100% negativity to 90% positivity. I actually felt that I didn’t need to do two more days because I felt like I’ve already overcome the trauma. Crazy how our mind works.
Thank you for sharing your experiences with the protocol. I really should try it out.
One of the best episodes of Andrew huberman podcast I’ve listened to! Took so many notes!
Adam grant on Andrew huberman:
A lot of us a lot of times have these thinking modes:
Preachers
Great sales people, visionary leaders
Prosecutors
Highly effective scientists, excel at criticizing other ppl’s work and finding what’s wrong with it
Politicians
Great at carrying Favor, they do a lot of lobbying and win approval
All think they’re right. Look like you’re not open. Hard to reason with. To disagree thoughtfully with you. So humility to know what you don’t know, and the curiosity to constantly seek new knowledge
Not trying to prove I’m right, trying to know if I’m wrong!
Assumptions are meant to be pressure tested, if you’re not open to rethinking your views you have turned thinking into religion.(data vs blind faith)
Most ppl live in the land of confirmation bias, looking for support for their pre existing beliefs
There’s strong evolutionary pressure to avoid social exclusion.
By definition your blind spots are invisible to you.
You should expose yourself with people you disagree with you. People who reach different conclusions from you but you respect the integrity of their thought process. They challenge your views. Listen to ideas that make you think hard not just the ones that make you feel good.
Too focused on what I think and not curious enough about how I think
Authenticity without boundaries is careless
Authenticity without empathy is selfish
Is it what I’m about to do or say consistent with my principles? Sometimes you will be false to your Personality in order to be consistent with your values
Sincerity vs authenticity
Bringing outside in vs bringing inside out
What do I stand for and if what I’m about to communicate is not consistent with that maybe I should self censor
If you wanna reach your potential and achieve more than you think you’re capable of
1. become a creature of discomfort and embracing things that are unpleasant or awkward for you
2. Being a sponge and soaking up new info and filtering what might not be useful
3. Being an imperfectionist: knowing when to aim for excellence and when to settle for good
Perfectionism is a recipe for burnout and depression and anxiety because you’re constantly comparing yourself to an ideal that is unachievable.
They do get slightly better grades in school because there’s a predictable outcome. But at work performance is nebulous.
They optimize the things that are predictable and controllable and miss the forest and trees.
Perfect 10 is for excellence not perfection.
Aim for 9 for stuff that are important so you don’t end up getting 9s on a bunch of trivial stuff.
Some early success builds momentum and you move the goal every time. But achieving your goals can make you complacent but the world changes around you. You are never done.
If I never fail it means I’m not challenging myself. Im not embracing discomfort.
Create an acceptable zone of failure to motivate risk taking and growth
Great minds challenge each other to think differently.
For a topic to be Interesting, clear, actionable and surprising, data to support it and scientific. Given the baseline of rigor (self relevance)
Ideas live not because they’re true but because they’re interesting.
For an idea to be interesting intriguing, most of interest is surprise
Bad actually good vice versa
Homogenous actually heterogeneous
Individual vs collective phenomenon
Ideas that challenge weakly assumptions intriguing you
Ideas that challenge strongly held assumptions offending you
Narcissism at its core is deep envy
extreme deficit in pleasure
By giving people language to articulate what they felt
They feel more connected and less alone and the feeling passes more easily (name it to tame it)
Moments of languishing opens us up to change and growth!
u need to chill bruh
@@arjuntendulkar01 honestly, looking back I agree lol wth
"Purpose of feedback is not to shame my past self but to educate my future self" Wow! Amazing, That. Hit. Deep. 😢❤😢❤😢 Thank you Dr. Hubermann
That one hit home like no other
1:13:55
When I was an adolescent in the 1980s, there was no Andrew Huberman to guide me through challenging times, so I relied on the lyrics of the Clash. It was gratifying to hear you pay homage to the great Joe Strummer amidst many practical beliefs tested by research. This is probably my 30th podcast of yours I’ve listened to, and the respect only grows, with deep thanks.
This is my favorite episode hands down. I learned so much about myself and how to improve. I really appreciate the mix of casual conversation, personal examples, experiments, metaphors, hypotheticals, and science-backed insights. My 23 year old self was thoroughly engaged (which is rare) so thank you thank you thank you
Adam Grant gives off the vibes of an incredibly wise friend who's super articulate with his words and can explain anything to anyone in a matter of a few short sentences. Pairing him up with Professor Huberman is immense.
Thinking about potential gets compromised by bordom, lack of interest affects kids on the ASD spectrum.i would like to hear more about ideas to help a child diagnosed with ASD level 1 with 99% in visual-spacial test score but miserably failing at school, particularly writing
Im 23 too we should connect sometime share our notes
Sounds weird to do but i need to network and why not try with something educational
I’m 32. How I wish this podcast was available at that age. You are ahead of the game!
Adam grant is like huberman for the social sciences-- always breaking down complex topics into easy to understand, actionable tools. So glad to see the worlds of biology and social science collide. Grant's books have helped me breakthrough so many mental roadblocks in my life and shift my perspective in profound ways, while the huberman lab podcast has helped me understand and improve my physiology. Two amazing human beings sharing their love of knowledge with the world. What an awesome conversation!
Excellent collaboration from them in future and I think we just witnessed the seeds getting planted.
which book did you read?
I’ve adopted a similar practice to Adam’s, which is to loosely collect my ideas but then deliberately pause before drafting a creative idea and then start work on the end product. This conscious decision to pause (“shelf”) a project to allow for my ideas to get focused with more intentionality has repeatedly yielded greater success in the eventual outcome. If it’s not in your nature to practice this (or even if it is), I highly recommend you try it and either start or keep practicing it. I call it “pressing the pause button.”
ok
Have you tried applying this to creative work projects?
@@JenniferMyers huberman
Huberman is truly a hero of our time, given the immense contribution he’s making to our generation. Thanks to him, we have the opportunity to better understand ourselves and others from a scientific perspective. I think it would be amazing to integrate his teachings into formal education. Also It’s practically essential for any self-aware adult who is committed to continuous self-improvement.
Honestly, if I could, I’d prescribe Huberman as a cure for all ailments-because saving minds one podcast at a time is a pretty heroic feat!
I usually never comment, but this is now my favorite podcast episode I've ever watched. It was just infectious to see how much respect they had for each other. They were able to relate so closely to one another's experiences while offering their own unique perspectives and insights. They were so engaged and genuinely interested in what the other had to say that the dance between listening and responding was so smooth that it almost felt coordinated. Their love and passion for the topics kept me engaged the whole episode (so much, in fact, that I watched this whole episode in 1 sitting while hungoveer on a sunday LOL).
All this while dropping interesting, clear, actionable, surprising, AND self relevant insights 😂
I only recently got into Dr. Huberman's content, but now I'm a fan his AND Dr. Grant's. Thanks for this gem, good sirs 🙏💪
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
OMG had to comment because I’m listening for the 1st time..on a Sunday and I’m hungover 😂😂
Still…Taking notes like a good student of course. This is too good not too. 😎
My Dad always says procrastination is part of his creative process. So great to hear that this has validity.
Hi Andrew
I just want to say a big thank you. I was a heavy drinker and hooked on Seroquel. I found your podcasts haven't had any in 2.5 months and don't even feel like alcohol. I just want to say without watching you I wouldn't be where I am today.
So wonderful 💖 😊
I ❤your videos. Helping people with self discovery GOD gave us the earth and everything in it in order to discover how to master the gifts he has given. We were given the gift to create this be free to learn create an d grow.
This episode become my personal favorite of all Dr. Huberman’s episodes! 😃
I learned so many awesome and practical ideas and wrote down a lot of quotes! Particularly liked to hear about the idea of asking for advice instead of the feedback and also proactively saying people about their strengths! I wish everyone did this form time to time 🙏
Also the “Authenticity without boundaries is careless, authenticity without empathy is selfish” totally resonates with my understanding!
Adam’s humor and slight nervousness makes him so approachable
I don’t know about y’all but while I LOVE listening to Dr. Hubermans podcasts, sometimes I just want the nuggets of information he has to offer.
Anyone else the same?
3:00:10 Adam’s story just moved me to tears😢. Looking forward to your parenting book! Please do it Adam and thanks Andrew for another exceptional episode. 💕
a pleasure to listen 2, very smart, intellectuals
Love it: "Purpose of feedback is not to shame my past self but to educate my future self" Thank you , Dr. Huberman!
His podcast idea is what this world needs more of
Dear Andrew; for someone who has been wandering throughout life, your videos have awakened a deep desire to realise how powerful intent can be.
I watched your first video late at night and as I fell in a state of half wakefulness; I kept hearing your message.
I woke up today with much desire to relisten all that you have to say.
Favorite podcast episode I’ve listened to in a long time across the board!!!! Thank you Dr Grant and Dr Huberman!!! 😃
It was an amazing episode.
Andrew, your recent podcasts exploring diverse topics beyond the realm of pure biology have been profoundly impactful e.g. growth mindset, willpower, journaling, and mental health, among others. The best part is these topics incorporate so many zero-cost behavioral tools.
Your dedication to helping people globally is evident, and your work is nothing short of tremendous the way you seamlessly weave together so many scientific concepts and tools in a single episode in such a digestible way for the listeners.
Please, Andrew, continue to explore and share more of these thought-provoking topics. Thank you for your commitment to our knowledge and personal growth. ❤
p.s. would love to see episodes on cross-gender dynamics, purpose/meaning in life, and more topics on behavioral sciences like the episode of Maya Shankar
😮
What impressed about your guests is their ability to quote research studies with so
Much ease like taking a sip of water. Inspiring!
Dr. Huberman is like a father who teaches us to change a spare tire....Except he makes us realize complex topics easily.
Wonderful Analogy
I love the discussion about being still and stimulating creativity.
I’ve noticed my creativity increases with activity like running where I’m active and not focused on anything, but when playing tennis I’m so focused that I don’t have creative thoughts.
Dr Huberman! Your work has greatly helped me in everyday life. Could you kindly do a podcast around self-esteem, please?
I agree, it would be a great topic!
Great suggestion!
That’s a good one
Great suggestion!!!
I agree, great topic suggestion! I was also thinking a podcast on perfectionism would be fantastic, which I imagine could be closely linked to self-esteem.
Regarding motivation for something you find uninteresting, a brilliant friend of mine (with multiple advanced degrees) puts it like this: "for someone in this field, they find it fascinating. My job right now is to find out what that is." Self-induced curiosity gap creation!
Dr Huberman is such an outstandingly engaging and present host/interviewer. Started out as a professor, evolved to S Tier knowledge advocate. He brings out the very best in each guest. This man will be doing this for 20-30 years. I predict 15+ million subscribers at his best.
the amount of your appreaciations for each other at the end is wholsome. just amazing podcast. Thank you Dr Huberman
Dear Mr. Huberman,
your content is just getting better and better and better and better. Feel encouraged. Thank you!
Cursor is Latin for 'runner', "cursorem". This word was chosen to refer to the mouse pointer because there is an object on a slide rule called a cursor, that can be set at any point. Originating in the 15th century, a “cursor” or “courser” was a runner or messenger (the word comes from Latin for “runner”).
#1 Podcast episode ever. I'm a fan of both Adam Grant and Andrew Huberman, but together you two can really help this world evolve to a better future. Please do the tag team podcast together!
Wow! I will listen to this episode a second time. It’s where neuro science and psychology meet and I love both fields. I am now subscribed to Dr Adam Grant’s channel as well. You are both aware of the words you choose and successfully manage to express them clearly. I’m just blown away with all this information! We need people like you helping us understand ourselves and others. So thank you very much! 😊
i can't believe nobody talks about book 'unveiling your hidden potential' by bruce thornwood, it goes deep into all this, and it changed my life
I can't find it anywhere, are you sure the names are right?

As always, Dr. H drops the health and wellness bombs that enrich our lives and promotes lifelong learning about the importance of taking action and living better. I’m am grateful.
Thank You.
I was so inspired by this episode that I felt inclined to find it on RUclips to leave you a comment. I appreciate your humility with expressing your early struggles with school, and what it was like for you to want to try to catch up - I'm in a similar boat, and last year I finally took the leap to begin studying clinical health psychology, and I got into the MS program I really wanted. In a lot of ways, you modeled the possibility of taking that leap for me, and I'm really grateful. Your exploration around themes of curiosity in this podcast inspired me to dive into the role of curiosity for a project I had to pick a topic on, and I'm glad I did. Thank you for everything you do Dr. Huberman, I appreciate your work a great deal from over here in Michigan.
I highly admire your respectfulness towards everyone. This is such a valuable podcast.
I vote YES for Adam to do the podcast. So much is challenged and learned through a healthy debate.
There are so many grand points made. I cannot wait to listen to this over again. Baseline of rigor..... yes!!!!!
WWF - suspending belief and understanding that in the moment unscripted happens. Such is live theater, dance, etc. sports ....
My older brother brought me up on WWF, was a magician and appreciated how others felt. He was the most amazing human at 'seeing' others and making everyone feel like they were most important to him. Not because he held same beliefs, but because he cared that others felt heard and related to. He passed away suddenly in 2020. His People-ability is one for which to strive.
Thank you for this extraordinary conversation. 🤯
Exactly....... knowing YOU MATTERED!
100% Adam should host said podcast AND write a science fiction novel! Also, happy belated birthday Andrew and thanks for sharing your four goals for science communication. I was a disaster epidemiologist pre-COVID and during the pandemic, and have since been obsessed with how science is communicated. Your podcast is a gift to so many, thank you.
Nice to listen to two professors and find out the way that I've done things all my life and have felt bad about is actually a good thing
Helping others: the shortcut to a life of purpose. Your channel is the ultimate case in point.
Thank you for doing what you do, Dr. Huberman.
When two great people researching critical topics collide and help us to shape our mind and body. Cause body shapes the mind. Mind shapes the behaviour. Behaviour shapes our future.
Thanks for the episode👍🏻
Andrew - first of all, thank you for everything you do - You've reignited my love for science over the course of the last year or so, after having lost it back in my undergrad days studying physiology
A couple of suggestions for topics that I think could be fascinating and very popular podcasts:
- Burnout and strategies for overcoming it - across public services, corporate and small businesses, leaders and HR departments are seeing a huge increase in absence due to burnout and stress - a greater understanding of what this phenomenon really is, and how individuals and organisations might help avoid burnout, would be awesome
- The neuroscience behind the post-partum changes in both mothers and fathers. I think there's lots out there that can be found regarding the post-partum time for mothers (but there is always space for more guidance and advice) but often there's a lack of information for new fathers - this is such an intense emotional period for new parents and it would be fascinating to understand the changes that are actually happening in the brain, and how to make the most of this special time in life
Thanks again!
41:40, soo cool that you framed it that way
That 1.06 pause was so awesome. So much self reflection. Self awareness . Learning from curiosity is the way, being able to still be in awe from learning is gold. You are my sensei, so much respect and so much love 🙏🏽
I like the way you commented. It reminds me when I was a kid and having a pleasure of obtaining an answer for just asking simple stuff, now we have so much in our favor that make's it even more fun!
I love the moment at the end where Dr. Grant shares his experience with his daughter and public speaking. Thank you for sharing that Dr. Grant. It touched me.

This is such a brain treat. I read all of Adam Grant's books so far, and planning on gifting a few for holidays. Growth mind set is everything, no matter who you are and where you come from. The more limited minded people try to put and keep you down, because of their own insecurities, the more you owe it to yourself to respect yourself and lift yourself up. And all of it can be done quietly and respectfully, not in arrogant way or alike. ♥
Thank you SFO delay in 2017. I wandered into the bookstore and found Originals and Adam Grant. It influenced me to make some changes and I'm now on a different path. I have many things on the wall above my desk but AG quote about happiness and success is in the center. Surrounded by cartoons, drawings, Shakespeare and to-dos and other reminders. AG really understands the creative brain. Im still amazed that one book had so much impact on me. And im a writer. Love to AH too of course. ❤
Honored, Jackie!

That duration of hightened catacholamines should be used to ''churn trough'' work that you *already know how to do*.
Pitfalls :
1. Wasting the Energy on Tasks you have already mastered, but that are not highly demanding on energy and thus could have been put off.
2. Distraction by interacting with others.
In synthesis, it should be use for :
Working on tasks you already know how to perform ;
And potentially are trying to improve on.

Please do humanity a favor and start a podcast together. Soooo much to learn from the two of you together. This ranks as a top podcast episode among any podcast ever. Thank you.
Two of my favorite podcasters together! This made my Monday after a long holiday weekend.
I really enjoyed the podcast with Dr. Adam Grant; so much useful info here. I found myself pausing a few times to make notes on how a particlar idea might apply to my own goals and pursuits. One thing Dr. Grant said, however, sparked in me a desire to reply... which was his casual reference to religion as "blind faith." I understand, of course, there are religions other than Christianity; and that many people lack faith in God at least in part because of negative experiences with religious organizations and/or people. But in my experience there are a lot of highly intelligent people who are believers; And most people who do not believe the Bible have not actually read it--at least in it's entirety--for themselves with an open mind. Those who have realize that this is an amazing document, with countless self-references that speak to it's credibility. For just one example, Psalm 22, written by King David (in first-person mind you) hundreds of years before Jesus was born, describes the events (recorded in the Gospels) that surrounded the death of Jesus in remarkable and specific detail. Not only did Jesus say the things David had foretold (which a critic could say was deliberate), but things that were said and done by bystanders, as well as Jesus' enemies also match with chilling accuracy. Isaiah 53 is similar with respect to foreshadowing details of Christ's death. There are so many other examples of this throughout the Bible--in addition to all the ways that secular history parallels the Biblical record--that, as I've heard said, "If this book is not from God, I have no explanation for it!" For the true Bible student, which I've been for over 50 years, it is not blind faith.
But again, great podcast gentlemen! Andrew... I am really enjoying learning from you. Thank you and keep doing great work!
Perfect for a Monday Morning and for closing the year.
Andrew Huberman you already have unlocked our potential.
You have given us the tools to know ourselves from the inside out from a compassionate SCIENTIFIC lense 💪🏽💜🧠
Eternally grateful
Autonomy, especially children and all humans. Explaining usually directs them to not have any interest. Question them to question themselves, grabs their interest to have the control which helps retain more interest. I love your podcasts , every day starts my day with positive mindset very grounding.
We get distracted by getting to the destination and we miss all of the magic on the way. The growth is in the journey. No Weak Sauce should be the name of Adam’s new podcast. I think I’d be a big fan.
When Adam talked about asking his daughter for advice, I teared up. Thank you for sharing Adam!
Incredible episode! Timing could not have been better. I’m always very active but I’m down today with an injury and was oddly falling into a little depression, languishing, after the excitement of celebrating two joyful days for my 58th birthday then Christmas. ‘Knowledge is power’ and I feel so much better. Two genius minds not only bringing such clarity and ideas for your listeners but seemed to also do so for each other. Let us know when Dr Grant implements a couple of his wrestling like podcasts…trans in sports and the constitution sound like two epic discussions. I wish I had half your knowledge and grateful for all your wisdom you continually share with such incredible guests. Love Dr Adam Grant! He’s brilliant, too! Big fan!🙏🏻💝🤙🏻
Happy Birthday Dr. Huberman ! I hope one day to be able to return the transformative gift you have given me. I went from being off track to being able to create new roads that one could never imagine possible, for that I am eternally grateful. Wish you all the best !
Key is to know your chronotype and block off time and schedule your life around it. For women there’s another layer, knowing our chronotype and our monthly hormonal cycle and syncing work and home life to match our energy and mood levels allows us to optimize our best times for the most important tasks
That sounds like an amazing foundational strategy. Can you share some materials about research on this?
This episode blew my mind and produced so many nuggets of wisdom and intrigue! (and many new questions...)
"ideas live not because they're true but because they're interesting"
(I wonder how this applies to or impacts people with ADHD?)
"Interest: What drives interest?"
• surprise!
• draws on self-reflection
• helps us to understand others
• makes new connections (synergy & creativity)
• gives language to something that is felt or intuited but difficult to articulate
(^^I wonder how this can be leverage to help visual-spatial learners who may have less access to words)
• enriches your worldview
• communicates you're not alone in experience
And SO MANY more! I will be listening to this episode more than once for sure. Thank you Dr. Huberman and Dr. Grant for making this world a much more interesting place!!
Being able to reflect, daydream, stop the active mind, becoming mindful allows a reset that enables a mental reboot. The particles cycle in this way. Perhaps we did not know how important the need for the rest stop. A default mode, a reboot. Enjoyed thoroughly! Thank-you.
I was delighted to meet you at the VETS event a couple of weeks ago. You're every bit as gracious and engaging in person.
This conversation with Adam was one of my favorite episodes. I've been following his work for years and love the concepts of scaffolding and coaching. It's been immensely valuable in my teaching, particularly with medical students and residents.
Dr. Huberman, listening to your shows with guests or alone are the best thing to happen in my life in years. I miss intelligent conversations and voices so incredibly much. You have helped me in so many ways mentally and physically, but since that June heat wave hit here, both my two year old cat and I are rapidly declining, she can't even climb a tree anymore when being attacked by a gigantic cat surrounded by easy to climb trees, I in the same condition, now. n being attacked by a gigantic cat surrounded by easy to climb trees, I in the same condition, now. Please stay safe and well. Thank you for being so wise and human. You, too, Adam, thank you very much.
Procrastination.... so glad I'm finally listening to a podcast on it...
I’ll be back
@@Myeyesburnbabyburn11 days later and you’re still procrastinating.
@@antoniomitchell1883 yes it’s hard to focus on a podcast with this much depth at just any moment. Thanks for reminding me 😅
@@Myeyesburnbabyburn I know what you mean. I was listening to it while at work and I was thinking, I’m gonna have to rewatch it.
I love Adam's energy! He is such a positive person to be around. I just love his personality! It's hard to find humble people like him! Invite him back Andrew ❤
Damn, what a timing. Just reading Grant's book - Hidden potential. Let's go! 👊💪
Love this guest podcast episode! It was especially interesting to see two very different personality types work in collaboration towards honest and open communication. After all, the truth sets you free. 💕
THIS IS INCREDIBLE. Professor Grant's work output is inspiring - and to see him on Huberman Lab discussing theory & protocols will be awesome. Looking forward to this!
Pp k
One of the of things I'm looking forward to on this podcast is getting a protocol for creative work as a professional who happens to be a mother, not a father. We hear a lot about the "mental load". We'll. How to best unload it for creative work? "Karl's creative process" with 5 kids is likely a partner who shoulders the mental load. We need this, and yesterday.

Grazi, HARPA!
Sharing your own experience, insights and struggles are a blessing to the listeners. I am a chronic overachiever with ADHD and have years of gaslighting and invalidation and hearing that all humans struggle, was the therapy I needed. Plus Huberman and Grant are my favorite go to people for insight and knowledge. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!
Adam you definitely need to do that tag team podcast! We learn so much from debate because ideas face resistance and only the strongest survive. It's a brilliant idea.
Here here, I definitely agree with the tag team podcast Adam!
Agree that it would be amazing to have Adam host the tag team podcast and unpack trans athletics policy. SO true that even those in the field of equity in athletics are grappling with what it can look like to be inclusive in athletics in this way.
That was one of the best HL episodes packed with wonderful information; Adam Grant’s expansive knowledge on human behavior, along with his intricate yet fluid use of language is so captivating. His NYT article from a couple of years ago on languish was such an Aha-moment for me, and I was glad he made a mention of it here. Thank you Andrew for bringing him on and for always being such a wonderful, gracious host; your seamlessly organic approach (although I’m sure you spend a lot of time preparing there material prior to each episode) and reflective listening and anecdotes in this episode were indeed refreshing.
This was truly insightful. Hoping you and Grant will be able to collaborate on the proposed study.
Extrinsic Rewards - The part where Adam Grant was talking about raking the leaves was interesting, because it helps us to understand that we do many things without knowledge of the purpose. Most trees were designed so that their leaves fall seasonally. That is not for the purpose of humans raking them up. The purpose is to provide the ground or soil with nutrition, aka mulch. So it’s actually more beneficial for a person not to rake all the leaves, but to leave some as mulch. However, we have moved away from the idea that we should grow our own food and protect soil health. So, a lot of people don’t know about how our food is grown, so that we receive the most nutrition. Washing the dishes is important because we don’t want to leave bacteria on them and get sick. I feel for parents with young children because it’s almost like they need a degree in knowledge of everything.
Sending in my vote for Adam’s podcast!!!!! And the two barb wire topics!!! This whole episode is the sexiest brain child, you two are brilliant!! Thank you!
Thank you so much for this podcast. And to Dr. Grant. Maybe a future episode could be on introvert vs extrovert? I'm a proud introvert. Have been since childhood. My mother thought i was shy. Nah! As then, and now, just time alone to mentally recharge.
I have spent like 3 days to listen to this podcast, but in the end it 1000% worth it. Wish I had time to do it without interruptions.
Just a treasure of advices to implement. Thank you both
I wondered if sharing some of my own collection of knowledge that I find valuable would make it challenging to collect more. Now I know that it would. I also think that the key of knowing when to share it makes the difference. That key seems to be when we want to improve how we are feeling to get us back to feeling satisfied with our own self-known symptoms of well-being.
I am a kinesthetic learner. I have had some of my best ideas and life directing thoughts while bicycling, walking etc. My work was physical, and I had to teach, motivate and hopefully empower people while we were moving. I would love for you and Dr. Grant to collaborate on a study regarding those of us who do best while moving, and those who do so being still . Thanks for sharing your knowledge with all of us!
Focus on two key objectives. Learn when to sell stocks to minimize losses and maximize gains to start protecting yourself. Second, prepare to make money when the market turns around. I advise speaking with a broker or financial counselor.
Choosing a IRA is advantageous as it uses after-tax funds and allows tax-free growth. When I retired, I had $3M million saved, and I won't be taxed on my withdrawals.
I am new to the stock market. For every stock that I bought so far, I was out of luck because I bought them when they were expensive. I feel I missed out on all the stock opportunities so far for the tech stocks.I believe having 150K yearly income would be a good investment so I want to plug all my savings into the stock market. I know this sounds a bit dull but I would like to know if I should learn investing or let somebody else (more capable like a FA) do it for me? Please share your thoughts. I am kind of tired of searching for a good stock to buy and losing all the good opportunities.

Helpful conversation! I'm a beginner in stock. Thanks for sharing. I curiously searched for her full name and her website popped up immediately. I looked through her credentials and did my due diligence before contacting her.
