      I say, steady the course.. focus on getting to the pier.. imagine walking the ocean shore with a pier far in the distance.. you might stop to pick up shells, stop and walk into the waves , stop to say hello to a stranger, stop to reflect on life, stop for a cry over a memory, but always looking to that pier.. making your way to it in your time .

    I stopped smoking weed completely after experiecing schizophrenia from a family member. It made me reevaluate the path I was going and I researched a lot about how long term use can induce psychosis and schizophrenia. I decided that I did not want to increase my chances by another 40% given that if there's already a lineage of schizophrenia that makes me 10% likely to develop it. I was not willing to gamble with 50%. I quit. Cold turkey. So far I've been so much more focused and for the first time in my life so far, I've managed to save money and keep it that way. Sobriety is the first step to getting better.

      This is really great information & quite informative,& if only more people today could get this in their mind.
      Go within & get in tune with yourself & your headspace & get mentally stronger & healthy.
      In my own life I always just wanted the best for my family & friends & others &
      Every living thing in this Earth.
      Love & gratitude & kindness & courtesy to each other are an excellent attribute & endeavor to have.
      I believe this much to My very Core.
      This proverbial sandbox herein Earth in this place is really big enough to have everyone gather & reach their goals & dreams.
      There should be no hungry child no homeless people no body strung out in drugs alcohol or other crutches.
      They are all just trying to numb & escape their reality of not achieving receiving & trying to do better & be the best versions of themselves.
      Trust that I know this. The only thing I do now is try to be a better version of me today than I was yesterday & if I find a person in my path to pay it forward for, then I do just that.
      It’s so simple,
      yet why aren’t more people aware & doing this? I ask? I’m am an empathetic non judging humble being & only here for a short visit too.
      I’m aware my time is short.
      May you all reach your fullest potential purpose & self & realize you are worthy & Loved . &
      that nothing fake or artificial in this World will really fill
      Your sadness or emptiness or anything that you feel is lacking from within yourself. So Please, I beseech you all to try be honest with yourselves & go deep into your core & find the happiness love & care for yourself & others that we all collectively as Humanity, are here just to understand & Learn. & that alone too would be a huge improvement in This world.
      When you give of yourself, the return to your very heart & Soul, may just astound you.
      Just try it & see.
      With Care & LOVE
      Take Care
      Another Human Friend 🕊️💕🕊️

      @DanceintheRaine666 Year ago

      KUDOS to you, @jk7jester: My mom taught me, when i was very little, that donations of apparent great generosity is not necessarily what they seem on the surface: ie unselfish and truely altruistic.. I had commented, effusively, on how "generous" it was that a very wealthy person VERY PUBLICALLY gave monies to Cancer research. The radio DJ had repeatedly praised this action with excessive verbiage, attributing to this man great sacrifice and humility. She quietly asked if the amount gifted was, to that individual, actually "generous" or might they have ulterior motives? She pointed out that the amount of money (though extravagant to our household income) was in truth, very little given that person's wealth. Granted, it is arguably better to donate such monies to a charity (publicly or not) than to waste it....but...she posited that he was RECIEIVNG a multitude of PUBLIC attention and applause (given the fact he did so very publicly) and he would no doubt be giving these monies for the tax break, as such donations are tax deductible here. She asked me to estimate the percentage of the gift, compared to his wealth, and compare that amount to the percentage of a smaller donation from someone who TRULY CAN NOT AFFORD TO GIVE more than a "relatively small amount". She enlightened me to the fact that (in comparison) the $50.00 that many of our VERY POOR neighbours donated when she canvassed on behalf of the charity was in truth far more generous. They also did so without any fanfare or publicity, yet still they gave. GENEROUSLY and ALTRUISTICALLY. She did not point it out, but I asked was this why she gave so unselfishly of her TIME as we could truly NOT spare even a few dollars to support this [and other charities] such as the SPCA which were cause(s) she believed in? My mom devoted many evenings to this task, despite a working day which began prior to dawn, work which was physically and mentally demanding and relentless throughout the entire day, well into the evening. When I was married, I tried to talk my husbter into donating monies to the BC Children's Hospital (which had helped my/our eldest son since infancy) and he REFUSED, claiming we "could not afford it". AFTER he left we three, I donated weekly small amounts of my much smaller income to that very charity. I felt GRATITUDE that we had not lost our home and were not actually starving...so each time I shopped for groceries, I HELD BACK AT LEAST ONE "luxury" item that we REALLY WANTED (such as processed foods) at the till, and donated THAT amount to the Hospital. Also, many times I bought one of the non perishable high value foods recommended by the Food Bank as being MOST NEEDED and paid for TWO such items, placing one in the bin (to help those less fortunate than ourselves) as we left the store. I then integrated the new items into our weekly meal planning. THEREAFTER, I went straight home and after the groceries were stashed, made my kids MUCH CHEAPER HOMEMADE cookies or pies to reward them for their UNSELFISHNESS. I think it's wonderful to give what you can

    Awoke to this- loving it. I am having a hard life since 2008 ( financial destruction) and when I was finally getting ahead….2020. However, EVERYWHERE I ago I am regenerative. I work hard building, planting the garden, saving the wild birds, rebuilding the health of abused horses and chickens. That’s my pleasure. I eat healthy and run, cycle or swim every day. And yes, I am surrounded by aggressive people who have given up and are killing themselves through alcohol, drugs and obesity. I am low income. I struggle financially. I think I make people angry because unlike them, I refuse to give up. I am grateful to listen to this podcast. It explains a lot about why I am the target of a lot of hostility . I am on the right path. I know no humans love me but the animals sure do!

    Confidence is the ability to dissolve into a puddle of your own tears, even publicly, and not be thrown away by the experience because every day, even every hour, is a brand new time for you as if the breakdowns not only didn't hurt you, but you became even more confident as a result.

      Dr Pinsky explained that the goal of therapy is to build an empathic relationship with the therapist, so that you can trust, share, grow and overcome issues in relationships. It takes time to build an empathic relationship, it is not transactional like A) listen to this explanation and definition of terms, B) you are now changed for the better.
      Many patients lie to their therapist, some are embarrassed about how bad or petty they might sound, some are protecting not willing to open wounds, scared what might happen if they were wrong all this time, etc. Therapy is complicated for sure.

    Hey Andrew, I’ve been listening to your podcasts since my mother passed away a few months ago. You’ve helped me stay mentally and physically healthy through the grieving process and I wanted to write a comment to say thank you. Also, I would love it if you could do an episode on epilepsy, I grew up with temporal lobe epilepsy and I’ve found that there are lots of common misconceptions about seizures.

    • @DanceintheRaine666

      @Respect2theFallen 2 years ago +13

      Nice comment sorry for your loss glad Hubermans pods help you they helped me when I couldn't sleep I looked for ward to them every Monday when I was going thru some things. If you don't mind could you clear up some misconceptions about seizures? I've only had one due to brain trauma but one bad piece of advice I've heard is how to handle dealing with someone who has them such as put a wallet or something in their mouth... in my 20s I was told that has been proven the incorrect way of dealing with it as a kid people said use a wallet or something

    • @Jessikamontoya
      @Jessikamontoya 2 years ago +13

      Yes! Please Andrew!! Definitely an episode on epilepsy and specific key questions about this disorder and the most healthy version we can achieve with epilepsy. The challenge con medicine side effects and the hard interactions we might have with people who don't completely understand.

    • @mattwardynski7429
      @mattwardynski7429 2 years ago +11

      @Respect2theFallen there are several misconceptions about what a seizure is, what it looks like, what causes it, what to do when someone is having a seizure, and what society thinks of people with epilepsy. Kind of a lot to address in one YT comment, but in short not all seizures have convulsions. Not all seizures are triggered by flashing lights. When someone is having a seizure make sure they don’t fall, help them gently onto the ground and lay them on their side, other than that give them space. Lots of epileptics aren’t all that different than everyone else in terms of personality or capability, we just have the additional mental and sometimes physical stress of dealing with a disability

    Wow, wow, and wow again. I literally had an emotional breakdown last week. I ended up in the hospital for 6 days. When I came home I couldn't handle it. I literally came to the conclusion that I don't know how to live. Just live. When we think about what we need there are very few things we have to do. Like sleeping, breathing, eating, and moving. I don't get enough sleep, I don't take deep breaths, I barely eat, and I don't exercise. If I don't do the basic things to just exist, how can I do anything else well? It seems simple but, it really helped me find focus and a starting point for better health.

      You underestimate the degree to which the government can insert themselves into a person's life and demoralise them intentionally manipulating relationships, cutting off their ability to earn money by control over companies bank accounts cards and the rest, canceling social status, creating artificial homelessness as a means to dispose of inconvenient individuals with opinions that the government would prefer to discredit.
      If you don't believe this is happening that's very unfortunate but it's been going on for a long time and it's currently happening to me so, I thought I would share this information in the light that it might wake someone up a bit out of complacency.
      The homeless problem is like the drug problem, billions of dollars of pumped into it and it creates vast amounts of money.. if that seems completely counterintuitive, it won't do in the next 15 to 20 years when more and more covert data becomes publicly available.
      Your government can and do dispose of inconvenient types, who gets to actually interact with who and who gets to breed a family is actually very tightly controlled although it may not ever seen that way to you...
      Who gets to be successful and who gets a career is also likewise very tightly controlled...
      Who has access to the money machine and who doesn't likewise..
      When you have sudden misfortune in your life it might be wise to consider the likelihood of it not being just some sort of chaotic series of events that couldn't have been predicted by anyone in certainly couldn't have been generated by anyone.
      Even worse random things also happen, which just makes identifying which is which very difficult..
      Now I'm sure you're going to take this as the ramblings of a paranoid delusional type but then it all seems like someone's delusional until it's happening to you, now you're the delusional homeless person why would anyone believe you your clothes look messy that's enough reason to be suspicious of someone.. you could be a professor but if you look like you eat out of garbage dumpsters who the hell is going to listen to a thing you've got to say...
      The culture is likewise very carefully managed, The reliance upon image identity likewise not coincidental, just in case anyone gets too big for their boots you can always use the fact that they are too old and out of touch yes the age weapon that's the way it's useful to discredit individuals who've been around too long and got too comfortable...
      You see the whole thing's a giant game on one level, if I can think of all of this garbage and it's even remotely implementable which of course it is deeply implementable with modern technology, how do you suppose in justify that someone wouldn't be doing all of this, worse they would be catastrophically vulnerable if they didn't... Because someone else would definitely be willing to...
      Nothing in your world is quite how it seems, thank you lucky stars for what they've allowed you to have, you'll never know the truth until you find yourself at the very bottom of the pyramid, because it's only when you look up with true perspective that you really see everything clearly, but by then it's too late no one is going to listen to a word you've got to say anymore.
      So yes we can talk about the drive but they know about that and remove it intentionally from people

    Thank you for another wonderful session. As a psychologist, allow me to expand on your question regarding 'staying in a relationship longer than one should':
    Our parents imprint on us what we come to recognize as love. If we had neglectful parents, we may be drawn to neglectful partners; an irresponsible parent may have left the impression that 'this is love,' leading us to seek out similar traits, even if we can't tolerate such behavior.
    And yes, we can change our patterns. 😊

      I have been there before and I know I will be there again with this pet. I'm truly sorry for your loss.
      I want to tell you that you did the right thing. I have to trust your judgment as a loving owner and a trained professional, so I am.

      My gal was 16.5yo and it was just this past May, that she needed help passing along.
      I wish I could have done it at home but did take her body back home with us so that we could do our ceremonies and have more time with her in that stilled quiet state.
      She was with me since she was 2mths old and was the being that was in my life the longest. Longer than my being with my parents and longer than my child, who ventured on his own the same age I did.
      She is still a constant companion in the energetic ether and that brings me tremendous comfort. But I cry everyday tears of love and gratefulness for the joy she brought to me but also tears of mourning.
      Losing pets has always been hard for me but this one really has impacted me in ways I am still coming to terms with.
      I look forward to the next canine beast who will fill the hole in my being. My dog really did make me a better human.
      My best to all those who have loved a dog and those that will lose them too.

    Mr. Huberman, I want to thank you for this…I think this will change my life for the better. Since listening to you it brought me the strength to address and get my whole family mental help. I’ve also gained the strength to show up better as a brother to my three sisters and helping them with college, woman issues, and life. For myself, I feel like I am getting to a point where I think I can achieve what I want; because I have the tools to heal and reframe my mind. You saved my life; and if I ever get the opportunity Andrew I would break down and cry and give you a hug. I am a man that is not candid in this way. I also don’t cry often.

      When there are too many stressors it makes is pretty difficult to remain mentally healthy. I live in the city, hopefully I can get out soon. My backyard is lit up with LED lighting from the street and I can hear the freeway, always. My city is growing so fast that where ever I drive there is construction and drab row housing and strip malls are all I see. The beautiful mountains I would look upon to orient myself now have huge mansions built into them. Though I am out doors on my street often there are neighbors I have not met once that live on my street. I do try daily to be grateful for what I do have but sometimes I do not believe the stressors we are put under are conducive for health, yet there they are. Maybe the new "Line" they are creating will be better? I am going to listen to the whole talk but at 4 hours I am going to need to break it up some. I am hopeful that it will help with my discouragement of my surroundings.

    I know this is a loaded concept (what we teach in schools) but I do wish they’d have a curriculum that included how to deal with emotions and cope in the world. Parents try their best but we are the results of multiple generations- including the good, bad and inbtwn. As a clinician myself, and someone who is still learning to understand my emotions and live well with them, I find society as a whole could benefit from accessible tools to cope. Even when I worked in acute pain management, the majority of my patients had an inability to cope that was as hindering as their physical pain. I appreciate podcasts and platforms such as this as it creates a bridge to all of us being better able to understand and cope. 🙏 keep it up!

      I agree with this, and many countries already include this. Unfortunately, teaching empathy, emotional insight, care, love, etc. has been included in the "anti-woke" agenda of extremist groups and is now targeted in the United States. It is unfortunate because it's not like we are missing the knowledge. What we're missing is the social structure, institutions, and systems to spread it.

    • @elisedemerveilles3065
      @elisedemerveilles3065 2 years ago

      It's a loaded concept because people don't really want to teach the next generation what is actually healthy for them, they want to brainwash them into thinking the same as them, no matter which side of the "concepts" they are on. A true curriculum could be developed which is totally none political, but that wouldn't suit the agenda of the powers that be. Students that can cope with the stressors of life could also think for themselves, not really the agenda of the public school system, which is to produce a compliant work force for the future and nothing beyond that.

      It’s really not. It’s practical, simple & will yield a positive result.
      Adult agency where parents create the habit of practice.
      Endurance through a 18 mins a day to talk about they’re feeling & sharing/asking their children about their feelings. Discuss & lead by example. Adult agency requires the confidence to discipline & know what the healthiest choice is for their children. Cell phones are not healthy for children.

You are one of the very few grown-ups in the room (I won't name names of who isn't, yet purport to be). Your calmness, consistency, and intelligence are a much needed balm in today's crazy world. You have a clear love and respect for science while keeping an open mind, and you acknowledge there are many things you don't know.

    I loved that Dr. Conti talked about gardening. Gardening is simple and beautiful. It made me realize that the simple things I do well are important too because sometimes I don't think I do things that matter much. Thanks!

    Im seeing comments on the number of times the word right is used; if that's all you can take away from this talk you may need deeper self introspection.

      @Jensth I recall Dr. Conti saying it's like a math problem, figuring out what's going on. There's a clear answer if you know how to set up the equation and look for the variable that hasn't yet been solved for

    I will revisit this , by the Grace of God, just like it was his Good Grace, that despite in my own willingness to make selfish choices, he has still allowed me stumble upon this message and eloquent messenger.
    Thanks be to God 🙏

    As a mental health psychotherapist working in an underfunded and over stretched service, I would like to say how much I appreciate the work and dedication to bring top class and brilliantly presented information to the public. I know I can trust the evidenced information I hear and I am able to use it for my own self-care and for my clients. Dr. Paul Conti is a role model to me and I am delighted and excited about this series. Thank you and your teams so much.

      @Marcspix. Hi! I am taking citalopram, but I cannot recommend it, it has been prescribed by my medical doctor because it's combinable with other medicine that I have to take. It has been prescribed because I have a mental disorder that wasn't allowing me to consistently perform all the daily actions I love and that are actually making me happy and grateful 😊

    • @skippy7208
      @skippy7208 2 years ago +5

    Dr Huberman,
    I so very much hope you read this. You've deeply affected my life, and I mean given me the tools to improve it in so many ways. I've been listening to your podcast lectures from day one, and without question this episode and the 3 more to come with Paul Conti may be for many people and certainly for me the best thing ever on the internet. This will save lives, improve lives, improve society, and make a better world. Dear God, do i ever have you and Paul Conti, along with dozens of your other guests, on my forever gratitude list! Please keep doing this incredibly important work.
    *
    Take note I live in Arkansas, grew up in Chicago but have been here 25 years, Rural states don't have access to the level of clinician you present and I absolutely can't shout loud enough how precious and priceless your quality scientific information pesented with an earnest desire to help people truly is. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
    I apologize for this being so long, but I needed to thank you for how much this podcast has meant to me. 🙏

    I cannot describe how insightful this episode was for me. I could identify with many aspects of what was said in this episode. Not only has it flashed out what was hidden in my unconscious mind, but it has also given me a guide on which I will rely to figure out what is preventing me from thriving in both my personal and professional realm. Thank you so much, Dr. Andrew Huberman and Dr. Paul Conti! You are building a chain of good intentions and transformations in this world. From the bottom of my heart, thank you!

    I love that Dr. Huberman always comes up with examples from his personal life when asking questions. It all becomes so easy to understand and follow and it’s so interesting because of that (and also, because of all the great topics and great guests ofc) 👏🏻
