4 小时 4 分钟I'll tear up if I talk about it because things were going well in my life, and then one day, just crack.
Everything came crashing down and.
And I've learned that friendship is super powerful.
I had people descending on my home to be with me.
You know, one day I just like, look up and Lex is in the room.
And they sat with me, picked me up, and they reminded me who I am.
And, you know, I have just such immense gratitude for that.
Doctor Andrew Huberman is a world renowned.
Neuroscientist, Stanford professor and podcaster, revolutionizing how we understand the brain and how we can adopt, change, break bad habits, and achieve peak performance.
Growing up, I was scared, depressed and confused.
My parents split up, I was getting in multiple fights, found myself locked up in this residential treatment program, and I realized that I needed to take control of my life.
I'm so intrigued by that because so many people feel stuck in their lives.
So how does someone even make those life changing decisions?
Well, there are so many zero cost tools that can change your brain.
We can go through all of them.
So I wanna talk about dopamine.
In this graph, the dopamine is kinda like a wave pool in every domain of life, whether or not it's food, exercise, for some people, it's work or sex.
If you push things to the max, you're going to feel depleted and understimulated afterwards.
And you need so much more energy to get the same output.
And when you're in that dopamine depleted state, typically what people do is they try and access things that are going to reactivate the dopamine circuitry.
