"This Is Why You FEEL LOST & UNHAPPY In Life" - Fix This TODAY! | Andrew Huberman

Thank you so much Lewis! This is probably one of best things I have ever watched it my life. It’s literally the tipping point. I have struggled with knowing everything I need to do, and I have been in periods of this peak performance feeing the dopamine drive the process, but I have never made it sustainable. This was the missing link. So, again, thank you!

Dr. Huberman is a gift to humanity.

The way Lewis asks questions for more clarification is awesome. The little probing he does throughout is just perfect... like essentially ‘dumbing’ it down for the audience and making sure we don’t get left behind... or just explaining things in different ways with examples... I’ve watched other interviews from Andrew and this is by far the best. Very appreciative of this video and the stellar interview technique from Lewis

I'm just gonna throw this out there, I'm saving myself for Andrew Huberman.

In a Joe Rogan podcast, I remember him saying "You can get out of your head by getting into your body." He was talking about exercising in general as a way to feel better but also as a way to get out of the occasionally funk into which we can find ourselves. I always remembered that quote.

This interviewer is intelligent and adds to the interview.I am a doctor and this interviewer educated himself and asks intelligent questions .I am in love with Andrew. This is great dynamic, between Interviewer and Andrew, the great !!

42:18 minutes in Andrew Huberman says to Lewis Howes, "What I love about your questions is you're asking for . . . really getting to the meat of things asking for the operational definitions. One of the most dangerous ideas in wellness and popular psychology is that your body bears every thought you have. What a terrible idea to put on people. What a challenging thing. I don't think people should try and suppress their negative thoughts. There is great value however to introducing positive thought schemes. There is actually a neurochemical basis for controlling stress and actually making stress and extending one's ability to be in bouts of effort and that relates to the dopamine pathway. So the molecule dopamine is a reward. Its released in the brain when you win a game, you close a deal . . . you complete something. " This part of the conversation, (as the neuroscientist Andrew Huberman stated), happened because of the questions Lewis Howes was asking. While I understand it may feel like Lewis is interrupting, he does know what he is doing, and MANY interesting people continue to seem genuinely happy to be interviewed in his conversational style on his podcast on the School of Greatness.

Dr. Huberman is a rockstar of neuroscience!!!🤩👍🏽👍🏽✌🏽😍

43:38 Dopamine. Growth mindset and reward. True high performance people, who are consistently good at what they do, attach dopamine to the effort process. 48:23 Dopamine as motivation and drive. This is good stuff. Thank you. 🌹

This guy is so smart. I wish you could use me as an experiment. I am a single mom on welfare. Getting away from a DV situation. I am also smart, a writer, a dancer. I am wrestling with finding my way. I am determined to rise above my situation but it does come with disregulation of my neural system. So glad to hear you. It gives me great HOPE!

54:24 "The first step in learning to attach dopamine to the effort process which is the key operation in order to succeed, is to be very careful about how much you focus on the end goal. Keeping the goal in mind is important for a proper orientation - you have to know the ultimate destination - but if at any point we were to evaluate our progress relative to that end goal, or if we don't know what the end goal is there is a huge gap there. It can feel overwhelming..." 55:40 "The key thing is to attach that sense of reward to the effort process. It's saying look, I am orientated in the right direction and rewarding the things you're not doing..." 56:51 "We can either be back on our heels, flat footed or forward centre of mass and when you look at people who are in these high performance communities they try and keep their centre of mass forward through what may seem almost trivial, things like making your bed or making a cup of coffee but it's not just about the things you're doing, it's about the things you're not doing that could put you down the path of ruminating or unhealthy behaviour..." 58:37 "Find the wall, push a little bit further through that wall and reward the process."

I'm so impressed with Lewis' questions, and I loved his conversational style interview. I'm surprised at the comments complaining he interrupted too much. These are hypercritical people who have nothing better to do, wouldn't do any better of a job, and don't have the platform Lewis has. I'm grateful to Lewis for bringing us this content and being so curious and inquisitive to make this content accessible to anyone.

When I experienced strokes and my head used to ache all the time and I lost all the grey matter it was ONLY "VAGUS nerve Pathway" which I used using WIMHOF Breathing to virtually bypass my entire body's pain .. it did not help with depression but PAIN was all gone! this was the start of my biohacking journey!

I love when this man says “that’s right”. His voice is so reassuring and calming

Here’s my gratitude of the day: I’m grateful for Dr. Huberman 🧠💕

My wife of 36 years passed away almost 3 years ago...I immediately went into a degressive state. I could not stand or walk for 2.5 years..only one doctor told me it was tied to my depression...everyone else wanted to operate...I chose not to do that. One day, last November...I stood up..spent the next few months learning to walk again..last March I dumped the cain...today, I absolutely feel great..physically that is...still dealing with residual mental issues..just not as bad as before.

We're the same age, but he looks like a physically fit and mentally sharp man. He doesn't struggle to find words... In contrast, I feel like crap pretty much every day. My body hurts, I'm tired, I'm sore, and I'm flabby in the middle. Hopefully starting to implement these practices will help.

~~~THIS IS A MUST SEE INTERVIEW IF YOU WORK IN THE MENTAL HEALTH CARE FIELD~~~Wow! The human nervous system is a silhouette or a replica of our whole body, (***side note: this reminded me of The Homunculus figure by Wilder Penfield and Edwin Boldrey, in the “Somatic Motor and Sensory Representation in the Cerebral Cortex of Man Studied by Electrical Stimulation”***) 3:50, 10:00 sleep, focus, creativity, stress are the core states & current focus of his studies, then empathy is the hardest one to study 10:40, the two forms of depression 13:33, 15:23 tools to remove depression; two ways to shift thought 22:00: respiration & breathing 22:49, 26:10 a super interesting explanation about how we can quickly control anxiety through Dr. Andrew Huberman 2-1 pattern respiration: 2 inhales with nose, one exhale thru mouth 27:49. His respiration work focus is on the phrenic nerve 28:50; the second spike of cortisol in the day which is problematic and is what the psychiatrists call the “9pm cortisol spike” correlates has with mental health problems 30:10, Win Hof breathing 34:00 is about increasing cortisol and adrenaline to liberate killer cells (t-cells) and fight infection, 48:50: cocaine and metamphetamine. WOOT WOOT 🎺He makes his bed 56:23! about lifetime learning as part of keeping a healthier fuller of life brain with the “kid at heart attitude” and learning about dopamine release thru play quoting physicist Richard Feynman 01:12:13; serotonin: 1:15:53 renewal and balance of serotonin and dopamine for immune system recovery: 1:17:42 his yoga nidra practice to recover serotonin levels when there’s a lack of sleep: 1:19:26; teach body to go into deep relaxation to work with intentions, use body to teach the mind use mind as an accelerator thru yoga nidra; gratitude as a serotonin level promoter: 1:26:06; “smart drugs” 1:36:10; the will to live(tied to the dopamine and the reproductive system)1:41:55, pot smokers as the less ambitious people: 1:42:10. NOTE FOR BENEFICIAL BREATHING/RESPIRATION EXERCISES: Dr. Huberman also mentioned Patrick McKewn’s valuable work & research on Buteyko breathing, which is different from the 2-1 Huberman breathing pattern in that Buteyko breathing actually recirculates our body own made nitric oxide gas (one of the gases used to sterilize surgery equipment) back into the bloodstream, hence, attacking disease right there on the spot and strengthening the immune system

I feel eager to hear everything that he has to say. I wish he would let him finish his points fully. Such a great interview though!

OK, to answer anyone who is commenting things like : "Lewis stop interrupting his train of thought" or "Let your guest finish his thought without interrupting", to those I want to remind them that any scientist, most any very intelligent person who is speaking on any subject they are very knowledgeable about that they care a lot about could literally talk for an hour without a single 10 second break because they're trying to convey so much complicated information that it's taken them years to learn and study, AND they're trying to make it understandable to thousands who clearly have not and so have little background in their field. Lewis's questions and comments not only give the scientist a breather, a second to pause & think but they also help to focus the body of info down into some usable, practical (possibly more easily remembered) few points of info to help others get it's benefit. Lewis may sometimes say something a tad too quick, but you forget that he's sitting there all that time you're listening or watching & Lewis has a very real person, usually a stranger, there looking straight at him, talking to him (& the rest of the crew is there watching both of them too). Do you know how uncomfortable it must get never knowing WHEN a guest will be finished with their thought when many scientists (many non scientists too, lol) may never get "done" with 'their thought' while he's also trying not to interrupt the guest? But as the interviewer Lewis also knows that if the guest loses you & your attention along with your train of comprehension, then he worries that the audience will get lost too. I think he shows excellent restraint in listening while also keeping in mind the audience and the aim of these interviews to help people learn to live their best lives.
