I quit drinking. I first told myself I can drink on the weekends I then stopped going to drinking events I started forgetting to drink on the weekends and now I don't crave drinking. My whole life is better and more focused.

People can't watch 3 hour long movies but they're gonna watch 10+ hour of Huberman lectures all day 😛

Been following Andrew since Covid and I still can't believe all his info/research is freely accessible. A true saint.

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.

I’m currently poor so I can only give back so much but I really appreciate you all. Thanks!

My 13 year old daughters private school provides group therapy to all 8th graders and each week is a different topic of discussion. This week's topic was about self talk being aware how you talk to yourself. My daughter truly enjoys her sessions and looks forward to them

I used to be a very insecure people pleaser. I fell severely ill in my early 40’s. I started an inner journey of innerstanding and releasing conditioned patterns. Now I’m much more healthy, calm and have sound boundaries.

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.

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!

You’re a beautiful soul, Dr. Huberman. Thank you for all you do to better humanity.

Self-assessment is a critical life skill that should be taught everywhere consistently. Valuing life and our mental health and wellbeing prevents disease, cruelty, lashing out, abuses perpetrated on children and animals, mental breakdowns, and a host of other avoidable conditions. America needs help. Thank you. <3

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 predict this series with Dr. Conti will be one of the most impactful you have done to date Dr. Huberman. Humanity desperately needs this information unveiled. Thank you both!

“Envy may be the root of all evil.” This is profound.

Paul Conti says "right" well over 900 times in this interview. Amazing.

Dude, this video is like a goldmine of wisdom that can seriously change your life! The way the teacher breaks down stuff is eye-opening. It's like a roadmap to a better you, shining a light on how to live your best life.

Andrew's work is exceptional. Throughout every video, he is helping people. This is a valuable social service. Respect

I'm really excited to work through this series. It will not be an easy ride, but it will be necessary.

I first came across Andrew's podcasts when I was looking for information about low lumens at work. Our office had lighting at 70 lumens and I needed information on why that was affecting my work. Dr. Huberman's earlier work talks about ophthalmic neuroscience. I saw the well-organized sharing of information as a model that could help me learn to be a better communicator and learn about myself and others. I just want to say thank you.
