2 小时 39 分钟Welcome to the Huberman Lab podcast, where.
We discuss science and science based tools for everyday life.
I'm Andrew Huberman, and I'm a professor of neurobiology and ophthalmology at Stanford School of Medicine.
My guest today is Doctor James Hollis.
Doctor James Hollis is a jungian psychoanalyst and author of more than 17 books about the self, relationships, and how to create the best possible life.
Some of the notable titles and topics of those books include creating a life, finding your individual path, as well as the Eden project in search of the magical other, which, as the name suggests, is about relationships.
He has also written about how to access our most resilient self in the book entitled living between finding personal resilience in changing times during today's discussion, Doctor Hollis teaches us what questions we need to ask of ourselves on a regular basis in order to best understand who we really are and what we most desire at the level of vocation, romantic relationships, friendship, and family, and indeed, in relationship to life's journey.
What you'll quickly realize during today's discussion with Doctor Hollis is that while yes, he is trained as a jungian psychoanalyst, he is also very firmly grounded in practical tools.
That is, he teaches us the simple and yet practical tools that we can each and all apply on a daily basis in order to make sure that we are staying on our best path.
We discuss how family dynamics that we grew up in, as well as trauma and attachment styles, combine with our unique gifts and indeed our shadow side as well, in order to drive us down particular trajectories in life that sometimes lead us where we want to go, but other times lead us astray.
And when they do, how to get back on track today's conversation with Doctor Hollis is truly a special one, in that he rarely does podcast appearances.
In fact, we traveled to him to record this podcast.
That's how motivated I was to be able to sit down with him, because I'm familiar with his many books and his incredible teachings.
But I really wanted to get his knowledge collected in one format, in one place.
And what I can promise you is that by the end of today's podcast, you will be thinking differently about yourself, about the people in your life, and indeed life itself.
Before we begin, I'd like to emphasize that this podcast is separate from my teaching and research roles at Stanford.
It is, however, part of my desire and effort to bring zero cost to consumer information about science and science related tools to the general public.
In keeping with that theme, I'd like to thank the sponsors of today's podcast.
Our first sponsor is Matina.
Matina makes loose leaf and ready to drink yerba mate I've long been a fan of yerba mate as a source of caffeine, in part because of its high antioxidant content as well as its ability to elevate glucagon like peptide one or glp one, which leads to a slight appetite suppressing effect as well as its ability to regulate blood sugar and possible neuroprotective effects.
