Summary

When’s the last time you doodled just for fun?

There are surprising benefits to getting your creative juices flowing, and today we’re here with returning guest, Dr. Srini Pillay, to dig into the inner workings of the mind and how to use tinkering to improve all areas of your life.

Dr. Srini Pillay graduated at the top of his class in medical school in South Africa and has been dazzling minds ever since. He's an assistant professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School, CEO of NeuroBusiness Group and also an award-winning author. I even hear he's writing a screenplay, maybe a musical, and dabbling in a bunch of other things.

His wonderful new book has perhaps the best title of all time, Tinker, Dabble, Doodle, Try. We're about to teach you how to upgrade your brain, health, and performance by having more fun.

if you listen to the last episode of Fat Burning Man with Tommy Whitaker on this show, you heard

0:53.9

about his journey losing over a

hundred pounds with almost no exercise after he read the wild diet. But in the week since then,

he joined us in the fat burning tribe, our online community, and a lot of you have been

writing in asking how he's doing. So here's the official update. Tommy just reached his new goal and has dropped a total of 120 pounds and counting.

His son weighs about 118 pounds and he posted a picture in the Fat Burning Tribe Facebook group that we're going to share

1:30.4

And also, when you look at that next to his before picture, it is just crazy to see the
