You get to decide the meaning you assign to the things you do and the experiences you have. This has a greater impact on your productivity and ability to stay motivated and your lack of willingness to keep on task. In this episode experts like Andrew Huberman, Moran Cerf, David Eagleman, and Moriel Zelikowsky reveal: How to become the master of your productivity and move with intention The best ways to master your willpower How the most successful people hack their brain and behavior to keep winning What you need to know to destroy stress and anxiety QUOTES: “Agitation and stress were designed to get us up and move us and when we try to fight that too much and we try to quiet that stress that actually can be problematic. You have to decide, are you going to try to quiet stress or are you going to actually lean into action, that’s a critical choice point for anybody.” - Andrew Huberman “The mistake I made wasn’t to say something was possible and it was not, it was to say that something was impossible before I knew this.” -Moran Cerf You ask me how to change behavior, this is how, to know what the possibilities are.” -Moran Cerf “The way learning works in the brain is everything builds on what you already know.” -David Eagleman Follow Andrew Huberman: Website: https://hubermanlab.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/andrewhubermanlab Twitter: https://twitter.com/hubermanlab Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hubermanlab/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/hubermanlab Podcast: https://hubermanlab.com/ Follow Moran Cerf: Website: https://www.morancerf.com/ Follow Rahul Jandial: Website: http://drjandial.com/ Follow David Eagleman: Website: https://eagleman.com/ Follow Moriel Zelikowsky Website: https://www.zelikowskylab.com/ Click here to download your FREE guide to 100x YOUR EFFICIENCY IN 10 EASY STEPS: https://bit.ly/3F8qOJL Build IRONCLAD discipline in this FREE workshop: https://bit.ly/3RUnYux Sponsors: Get 20% OFF with our code IMPACT at calderalab.com/IMPACT.

0:00.0	Andrew Huberman, neuroscientist and associate professor at Stanford University School of Medicine.
0:06.0	Now you talk a lot about meaning. Walk me through like the how we assign meaning, how we leverage
0:12.0	the reward and punishment to really get us in a situation where we can push through something
0:17.4	other people might not be able to push through. Yeah. So when you start thinking about things like
0:22.3	growth mindset in terms of how they convert to neurochemical signatures, it leads us to this place
0:27.6	of okay if it's all subjective then you know if I just say look I'm going to stand up out of my
0:32.2	chair and that's going to feel amazing is that going to work? Well no it depends on the meaning
0:36.1	that I attached to something and this and this subjective part can be a little tricky and a little
0:40.3	bit hard for people. So I want to try and lay it out in a concrete way so that if they want to
0:44.9	apply this they can. Incidentally or not so incidentally I should say when you look at communities
0:51.6	of very high performers and I'm fortunate enough to do some consulting with some people from special
0:55.9	forces communities and so forth they're very good as are you at attaching a reward to specific
1:02.8	behaviors in subjective ways. So growth mindset and these dopamine rewards that we subjectively apply
1:08.8	are not about saying oh you know I had a terrible day I performed poorly but you know what it's
1:15.5	great I just feel great anyway it's not about that it's not about attaching your sense of reward
1:21.0	to the ultimate goal it's about attaching your sense of reward to the fact that you're making action
1:26.1	steps that are generally in the right direction the more you can reward the effort process
1:31.9	the better off you are at building these kinds of neural circuits and these kind of tendencies
1:36.2	to be able to lean into anything challenging over essentially any duration. So how does this work
1:41.2	like how would somebody do this right? Well keeping in mind that adrenaline and epinephrine
1:46.4	are all great for getting us into action this is Mother Nature's way of chemically making us feel
1:50.7	kind of agitated remember stress was designed to agitate us to move us away from things and toward
