36 分钟Welcome to Huberman Lab Essentials, where we revisit past episodes for the most potent
and actionable science-based tools for mental health, physical health, and performance.
I'm Andrew Huberman, and I'm a professor of neurobiology and ophthalmology at Stanford School of Medicine.
And now for my discussion with Dr. Emily Belchettis.
Well, thanks for being here.
It's my pleasure.
Yeah, I've been looking forward to this for a long time because as a vision scientist,
who is also very interested in real life tools and goal setting and motivation,
your work lands squarely in the middle of those interests.
Just to kick things off, could you tell us just a little bit about goal setting and goal retrieval?
What's the deal with vision and motivation?
How do those two things link up?
Totally.
When psychologists ask people, like, how are you, what are you doing to help make progress on your goals?
They say all kinds of things.
A couple of things always pop to the top, which is, you know,
self-pep talks, or I remind myself of how important it is to do this job,
or put up post-it notes around to like constantly be nagging me about what I need to do.
All of that takes a lot of time and effort and commitment.
And so what a surprise that people burn out.
