Good day Dr. Huberman! First of all, I am absolutely in love with your videos because growing as much as I can a person is extremely central to my satisfaction in life. I watched the video on leveraging dopamine to maximise focus and motivation. I am in love with the idea of making my work(studies) the source of my dopamine releases. To try doing this I cut out a lot of parts of my day which made me feel pleasurable/good(I am not sure about the difference between the two), I had a few days of amazing focus and I was really enjoying my studies, pulling 9 to 10 hours and also being able to focus and actually get things done throughout those hours, however after a few days I felt a complete lack of motivation or drive to do anything at all. Is that low a part of the long term process or did I execute the guidelines wrong??

i very recently got into the podcast , should i just watch the long episodes to gain the most benefit or will those 30min ones be enough?

This idea to make consumable content in shorter video lengths is great! You can create shorts that cover key points and then link them to these videos for further context.

I want to thank you, and incentivize you, for this essentials series.

While I love the lab, actionable tools and protocols can be burried along with the interesting conversations in it, and be hard to find. This series WILL make them more accessible.

Keep up the good work!

Its quite shocking how few people know about the book Unveiling Your Hidden Potential
by (100 points)
TO ANYONE READING THIS, this comment is a known scam using bots for upvotes on many videos currently, you can search for this "book" yourself and find the website, do NOT buy the book on that website, there's a reason it's not in any actual book stores.
by (100 points)
I have seen many comment praising but  searched, it's nowhere on internet, no online copy neither selling nor a single review video. Is this even real?

Jesus tells me in heart intuition about sickness & illness….

From a cold, to surgeries, heart/brain diagnosis issues, accidents, injuries, to even diagnosed terminal cancers… etc etc you get a health situation & life brought to a halt to see, what you are avoiding, truths you aren’t dealing with, what needs to be processed, you’ve been given the time.

Accidents/injuries could be a symbol of you are being guided towards a different path, if it’s scripted also.

You could be avoiding traumas destined, understanding them unique for an individual holding them back, so not being free, or just having to feel how they are destined to emotionally, if they just have to be, when God has you to feel it will be so.

Could also be yes avoiding life experience they need, so staying repressed to knowing it or living it, e.g. sexuality truth experiences & they might be sexually repressed & don’t have clarity in that sexual truth, or not connected to that sexuality, just not connected to that humanness.

Breast cancer=women stop feeling women or not connected to their sexuality & that humanness, or never were, i saw that in my family, my mum married a male into males but got married anyway, then the stepfather is on the fence with his sexuality too, not truly getting clarity from lived experience, which is common in society.

Mum was a nun in a past life too, so hasn’t been connected to her sexuality for a very loooooooong time.

So she met the mirror of my stepfather sexually repressed too.. he was a royal in another life, so he did a bit of everything sexually so affects his soul now in his karma.

Like with me, i was roman in a lifetime, that was my soul karma this life, very very sexual again in this lifetime. But I had the balls to live & found out with guy experiences sexually, I never desired them & were always regret/guilt/shame degrading satan inspired experiences. I only had Godly sexual desire & satisfaction/content/joy feelings with women who i was sexually into attracted to for sex.

So Jesus has shown me not to “degrading” feels sell my soul in experiences that are not aligned to truth, even with women now.

Even moving on from that, any people in unions, if they need to do something like leave a union/marriage (very short to longer term) if it’s no longer the truth & now a lie, or a job or life choice they are fighting or resisting towards, you know examples like this.

Back pain, issues, taking on the responsibility of someone’s stuff that is not yours also.

Knee & hip is DIRECTION symbology, replacements are e.g. are resisting the God willing life path they need, or fighting their path of truth wanting to do life their freewill way still. My mum & stepdad had knee replacement & hip replacement respectively, recently only since they retired. So yes with my e.g.’s you could see what they have resisted in their life paths & instead tried to stick to life their way!!!!

Even people that stay stuck hiding in the mind & get societies label “dementia” symptoms is not connected to heart & soul, not exposing their soul, not connected to soul, heart attacks & brain issues like strokes are this too, avoiding with what needs to be dealt with, not exposing soul & bring to light.

The reality @ a God level, aligned to a persons truth Jesus tells me in heart intuition..what is scripted is for an individual, but who really wants to know me as their best friend to be free, understand the wisdom of what I’m guiding them to see, so they can see & hear, living in truth.

Otherwise in HELL(earth reality experience) people burn in the flames tortured as souls avoiding what needs to be dealt with, so don’t get to live in truth through the flames.

Making deep science available in this form is going to change human knowledge more than a lot of research by itself, thank you for broadening our knowledge all these years!! Big fan

Dr. Huberman, you are truly a treasure to mankind. Thank you for sharing your passion and knowledge with us.

Several of your videos have helped provide context for my own healing journey and helped me solidify protocols that actually lead to progress. On a personal level, it's deeply appreciated.

Beyond that, I think you're doing the world at large a great service because you speak with such passion, your examples and metaphors are easy to understand, and (perhaps most importantly) you convey and break down the information in terms non-scientists can understand

As always, thank you for the amazing video ❤

Thank you Andrew - at the age of 74, I have wrestled with such conditions as GAD, ADHD, and ptsd, since the age of 16. For 46 years I attempted to cope with chronic 24/7 alcohol abuse - which finally took its toll in the form of a complete nervous breakdown. Hundreds of self help books - years of therapy - and ridiculous amounts of meds did little to help. I can honestly say that the content and integrity of your podcasts have been the catalyst to enable me to turn my life around!
So thank you and please  continue with your valuable and valued contributions.
