Summary

“Positive thinking is not about being delusional. It’s about learning how to take control of internal processing and knowing it’ll shape your external environment.” Today's guest is Neuroscientist Dr. Andrew Huberman who is a Professor of Neurobiology and Ophthalmology at Stanford University. He also runs Huberman Lab which studies brain states - such as fear, courage, anxiety, calm - and how we can better move in and out of them through practices like visual cues, breath work, movement, and supplementation. This is Part 2 of 2, so be sure to listen to Part 1 after this! In Part 2, Lewis and Dr. Huberman discuss the science of gratitude and abundance, how to find the sweet spot of dopamine release, the one belief Andrew thinks everyone could benefit from, and so much more!
