Change Your Brain: Neuroscientist Dr. Andrew Huberman | Rich Roll Podcast

I just can't believe I live in a world where I can access so much knowledge for free.

I'm so sad that none of my friends are interested in talking about these kinds of topics. I don't know if it's just me, but does anyone else feel alone in this whole betterment process? I know I'm on the right path, but it just gets kind of lonely when nobody in your circle are interested in these kinds of things.

Psilocybin saved my life. I was addicted to heroin for 15 years and after Psilocybin treatment I will be 3 years clean in September. I have zero cravings. This is something that truly needs to be more broadly used in addiction treatment.

When nobody else celebrates you, learn to celebrate yourself.

I started watching this video five months ago, in five months I went from being a hopeless junkie, shoving needles in my arm daily, working at mcdonalds, stealing, lying anything for my drug. I moved across the country, packed what little possessions I had in my car and now im four months sober, have a girlfriend, and a job I'm happy with. I live in a beautiful house with some friends I made, I was homeless, went through rehab, sober houses. The concepts in these video have CHANGED MY LIFE. THANK YOU

Albert Einstein said, "If you can't explain it simply enough, you haven't understood it well enough".Dr Andrew brings such simplicity to explaining the workings of the brain. It's actually a hacker's guide into our own brain. You are doing great service to humanity Dr Andrew.

This man entered flow state with this conversation. The joy on his face as he talks about what he loves is beautiful

I just love how the brain is discussing itself

The part where he mentions that he wants to be adopted by a more functional family even at 45 yrs really hits home. Really delineates how no matter how old and independent you are, you still need love and support.

I remember walking with my dad one very cold night. I was about 9 years old and a very skinny girl. I was walking, doubled over shivering and in pain. My father held my hand and said “right, we’re going to step this out. He made me stand up straight, chest out and count while marching, 1,2,3,4 1,2,3,4 , 1,2,3,4. We did it until my body became warm. We faced the cold head on. Not only did he teach me how to fix this in future, but it taught me how to face all hardships and fear the same way. Stand straight, head up, chin out and step it out. Don’t cower to fear, look at it and walk towards it. Didn’t realise it until I was about 25 and has stayed with me ever since. I am now 65. 😃

Then thoughts, feelings and perceptions. + 1:16:40 if you're struggling with motivation use breathing techniques to induce adrenaline. + 1:34:23 + Learn Yoga Nindra To Fall Aslee

My three biggest takeaways from this: 1. Any learning process or development starts with discomfort and confusion. You have to learn to embrace that learn to focus despite the discomfort and learn to enjoy the small wins along the way. 2. Feelings and thoughts follow action. Change your behaviour first and you'll change your thoughts and feelings. 3. Frustration and anger can make your brain "feel good". It's addictive. Don't let your brain go there. (I'd throw in self pity here as well, which is a big one for me.)

"Neuroplasticity is TRIGGERED by deep focus, but neuroplasticity OCCURS during deep rest and sleep". This is the most incredibly valuable information.

I'm 16 years old and aspire to go into neurobiology. Andrew Huberman is one of my inspirations

Andrew Huberman is a blessing to many. I achieved success with the easy steps below.

Addiction: a progressive narrowing of the things that bring you pleasure. Duuuuude.

This video explains why I ran a marathon. Prior to this year, I was not a runner. I lost someone to suicide and was experiencing complicated grief. I had a thought to run a marathon so I signed up and found a 16 week training program. I used to hate running, but found training really therapeutic. I completed the marathon a couple of weeks ago and couldn't understand how I did it. Sounds like taking action (behaviour) plus early reward (noticing how good running felt) for the activity not the outcome, and the eye movement that happens with running helped me process my grief and run a marathon. So fascinating

13:22 hit me hard. I always felt that way as a kid. Always wanted to have a functioning family and it crushed me that I didn’t. Having friends with functioning lives was really difficult for me to see and compare myself to
