It's amazing what the mind can do

when you work it out in the right way.

John Aseroff, welcome to office hours.

My dear friend, it's so great to be with you and everybody else in studio.

Thank you so much.

Let's get to the neurogym.

Why don't people after all these years realize that our minds are truly the same as you have them,

still, X or biceps. We need to continually work them out. The only difference is, I believe, or maybe I'm wrong, the mind, unlike our

biceps, continue to get stronger no matter how old we are, where we've learned about some of the

muscles we have when you get to the

70s and 80s they're just not going to be as strong as our 20s.

Sure I think first we should differentiate mind from brain.

Mind is an activity of the brain, but if we were to consider the brain, I always have my plastic brain near me for, you know, show and tell. Functionally, first and foremost, I think it's important for all

us to understand that every brain functions the same way. Of course, there's anomalies

and disease and things like that, but functionally it all works the same.

And when we realize that every human brain has a hierarchy of how it works,

first problem is most people don't know what that hierarchy is.

And just to be clear,

number one is safety and survival above all else.

Number two is avoidance of any real or imagined

pain or discomfort. Number three, conserve glucose or energy and number four is have fun and gain pleasure.
