Dr. Huberman I'd like to contribute my experience with the journaling protocol you shared last week. I did it based on your recommendation alone, started the same day and pulled all the stops, picked the event that has certainly traumatized me the most in my life and did the half and hour of journaling four consecutive days. It was not fun experience, if discomfort scale 1-10 is assumed worst I ever felt was 9 (as I can imagine worse situations) and I've had many very, very painful moments, event in question was an 8 at the moment (I was not molested if anyone is curious) and a journaling was easily 6, for comparison freezing cold water immersion or debilitating muscle soreness I would put around 4 and being put on a spot by authority figure in front of my peers 3 at the most. By the day three I woke up early dreading the journaling and did it right away before anything else just to get it over with and I was cranky and anxious the whole day. I am usually very very happy person, in some part thanks to protocols you've shared over the years, but I'll tell you on the fourth day I don't remember when was I so happy for not having to go over journaling again. Aside from the momentary relief, pain/pleasure balance was certainly offset and damn if I am not proud for muscling through the whole process. As for the intrusive thoughts about the event, I feel like they are far less often, like I got drained of thoughts about it. When they crop up they aren't as harmful as I see how trivial they are in comparison with the real event or forced non-stop writing about it for half an hour in great factual and emotional detail, I think that has also a side effect of me not being afraid to trigger them as I was. I also haven't got a desire to ruminate on the subject, something I did occasionally, because now I know how that rumination can make me feel if taken far enough. So thank you for sharing this protocol with us, you are changing lives with your science communication.

This is my favorite episode hands down. I learned so much about myself and how to improve. I really appreciate the mix of casual conversation, personal examples, experiments, metaphors, hypotheticals, and science-backed insights. My 23 year old self was thoroughly engaged (which is rare) so thank you thank you thank you

I usually never comment, but this is now my favorite podcast episode I've ever watched. It was just infectious to see how much respect they had for each other. They were able to relate so closely to one another's experiences while offering their own unique perspectives and insights. They were so engaged and genuinely interested in what the other had to say that the dance between listening and responding was so smooth that it almost felt coordinated. Their love and passion for the topics kept me engaged the whole episode (so much, in fact, that I watched this whole episode in 1 sitting while hungoveer on a sunday LOL).
All this while dropping interesting, clear, actionable, surprising, AND self relevant insights π
I only recently got into Dr. Huberman's content, but now I'm a fan his AND Dr. Grant's. Thanks for this gem, good sirs ππͺ

Adam grant is like huberman for the social sciences-- always breaking down complex topics into easy to understand, actionable tools. So glad to see the worlds of biology and social science collide. Grant's books have helped me breakthrough so many mental roadblocks in my life and shift my perspective in profound ways, while the huberman lab podcast has helped me understand and improve my physiology. Two amazing human beings sharing their love of knowledge with the world. What an awesome conversation!

One of the things that sets Andrew Huberman apart from other podcasters is his humility and graciousness in referencing by name his fellow scientists and their work and how theyβve contributed to the body of knowledge we all seek, rather than just referencing that knowledge. No doubt this attests to his unflinching efforts to seek truth from all sources and his ability to get such amazing guests on his podcasts. Thank you, and keep up the great work, Andrew Huberman!

When I was an adolescent in the 1980s, there was no Andrew Huberman to guide me through challenging times, so I relied on the lyrics of the Clash. It was gratifying to hear you pay homage to the great Joe Strummer amidst many practical beliefs tested by research. This is probably my 30th podcast of yours Iβve listened to, and the respect only grows, with deep thanks.

10:02 just love when someone can frame something so smoothly.
Procrastination feels like stacks of walls miles high and him just saying that it isnβt laziness but actually avoidance of a negative emotion, it is like he just dissolved that wallβ¦ or at least half of it. Listening onβ¦π

3:00:10 Adamβs story just moved me to tearsπ’. Looking forward to your parenting book! Please do it Adam and thanks Andrew for another exceptional episode.
