0:00.0	Hey, everybody, welcome to Health Theory. Today's guest is Dr. Andrew Huberman. He's a lab director and professor of neuroscience at Stanford University, who has won numerous awards for his work, including the Pew Biomedical Scholar Award and the McKnight Neuroscience Scholar Award. He also serves on the editorial board of several prestigious journals, including current biology, the Journal of
0:21.7	Comparative Neurology, Cell Reports, and many, many others. And welcome to the show, Dr.
0:27.7	Huberman. Thanks for having me. I'm delighted to be here.
0:32.3	Dude, as I was saying before we started rolling in, the brain neuroscience is my area of
0:36.9	absolute fascination. This was the
0:38.5	thing that ended up taking me from sliding towards depression, feeling lost, feeling frustrated,
0:44.2	not knowing how to make anything in my life. This is in the late 90s. So people were
0:47.9	debating whether neuroplasticity was real. Carol Dweck had not written her seminal book on
0:53.6	growth mindset yet. So I had to
0:55.5	cobble a lot of this stuff together. But then once I did, it was absolutely transformative for my

1:08.0	I'd love to start with that. I'd love to start with your sort of, I think,
1:12.3	really insightful definition about what a growth mindset really is. Yeah, well, first of all,
1:17.6	Carol's a wonderful colleague and friend. And so we've been doing a bit of work on the neuroscience
1:23.4	of growth mindset among other states of mind. So, you know, the study of neuroscience is really about
1:29.9	what the nervous system does. And amazingly enough, the nervous system is responsible for everything
1:36.2	that happens to us from the time that we're born until the time we die. But that really boils
1:42.3	down to only five things. The nervous system has the responsibility
1:47.3	of sensation, so sensing the physical events in the environment. We have these so-called receptors
1:53.6	in the eyes and the ears and the nose and the mouth on the skin that take physical entities
1:58.6	in the universe that are real fixed non-negotiable things like sound waves
2:02.7	and photons of light and chemicals in the environment traveling that make it into our nose and
