This is episode number one thousand fifteen with neuroscientist Andrew Hubertman.

Welcome to the School of Greatness. My name is Louis Howe's former pro athlete

turned lifestyle entrepreneur. In each week we bring you an inspiring person or message

to help you discover how to unlock your inner greatness. Thanks for spending some time with me today.

Now let the class begin.

Author David Allen once said, much of the stress that people feel doesn't come from having too

much to do, it comes from not finishing what they've started. An American novelist Jeffrey

Eugenidis wrote, biology gives you a brain life turns it into a mind. I am so excited because my

guest today knows as much as anyone on the earth about how the brain interprets the world around

us and how we can use that knowledge to live a happier and healthier life. Andrew Hubertman

is a neuroscientist at Stanford University who also runs the Hubertman Lab which studies how

the brain functions, how it changes through experiences and how to repair the brain after

injury or disease. And we had an amazing conversation on a wide range of topics. In fact,

I had such a great time talking to Andrew that I had to split this up into parts. And in this first

episode, it's going to blow you away. We talk about why our brain allows us to get sick

after stressful periods in our life. How much control your brain has over your emotions and

experiences, why subjective rewards are essential to accomplishing your goals. This is powerful.

The positive effects stress can have on the body, huge for so many people right now, the science

of hope, how we can rewrite our subjective experience to increase happiness and so much more

just in this first part. Make sure to share this with someone who needs to hear it. Just copy
