Essentials: How To Learn Faster By Using Failures, Movement & Balance | Huberman Lab ​​

​To enhance neuroplasticity as an adult:​

* 1: Pay attention to how you’re arriving at the learning bout – too alert? Too tired?

* 2: Make errors

* 3: Vestibular-motor sensory relationship is key – our bodies are designed to refocus if we’re off balance (literally, move in different planes)

* 4: Set a continency – learning will be accelerated if there’s an important reason why we’re learning

* 5: Try smaller bouts of learning for smaller bits of information – don’t try to learn a lot of information in one bout as an adult

​Representational plasticity:​ Internal representation of the outside world – our maps of the motor and sensory world are merged

* “The way to create plasticity is to send signals to the brain that something is wrong, something is different, and something isn’t being achieved.” – Andrew Huberman

​The four horsemen of apocalypse and relationships:​ indifference, criticism, defensiveness, and contempt

​Emotional Capitalism​: “We are constantly urged to maximize and optimize our choices. We sometimes end up evaluating ourselves as products where we have to deal with comparison as the thief of joy. We partake in a frenzy of romantic consumerism where we are sometimes afraid to commit to the good for the fear of missing out on the perfect.”– Esther Perel

* We have unrealistic expectations that our romantic partner can check every box… “an over-burdened system with an under-resourced reality”

* This includes traditional expectations, like offering companionship, economic support, stable family life, and social status

* Also includes more modern expectations, such as being your best friend, trusted confidant, intellectual equal, efficient co-parent, fitness buddy, professional coach, and personal development guru

* Oh, and last but not least, being a passionate lover for the long haul

​Relationship Ecosystems:​ Relationships are not stories of two, they are an ecosystem

* Family, friends, and mentors are all part of your relationship ecosystem

​Shadow People: ​People who are no longer alive or no longer in your life that affect your future emotions and behaviors, both positively and negatively

* “I wish my mother was here to see this…”

* “I let my ex get away with that, not this time…”

* Self-awareness of shadow people is essential

​Being Stuck:​ You’re stuck in increasingly rapid cycles of blame and defense

* Confirmation Bias: only regarding evidence that reinforces your belief

* Fundamental Attribution Error: believing you are more complex than your partner

* SOLUTION: write down everything your partner does that is for the good of the relationship

​Leave the Kids Alone: ​“Get away from our sons and away from our daughters. It’s not left or right. I don’t have a Republican bone in my body. Get the crazy people who do not understand human development away from our children.” – Eric Weinstein

​Hard Choices, Easy Life: ​“Everything worth doing is hard – and the more worth doing it is, the harder it is. The greater the payoff, the greater the hardship. If it’s hard, good. It means no one else will do it. More for you.” – Alex Hormozi

​The Selection Effect of Competition:​ If you are on a clear path toward a goal, you should get excited when things get harder because you know that no one else will follow

​Tension Over All:​ Focus on getting tension in the muscle that you are targeting; getting tension in the muscle you are trying to grow is more significant than focusing on which exercise movement is best

​Brigham Buhler – UnitedHealthcare CEO Assassination & The Mass Monetization of Chronic Disease | The Tucker Carlson Show​

PBM Scam: Roughly 30% of the cost of every prescription drug is because of the kickback that goes to a PBM; the drugmaker pays the Pharmacy Benefit Manager (PBM) the kickback in order to be placed on the preferred contract with the insurance company

Money Before Health: The drugs that get put on formulary do not have to do with efficacy or what is best for the patient; instead, it is about which drugs have the biggest kickbacks for PBMs

The three pillars of the chronic disease crisis: (1) Big Pharma (2) The food industry and (3) The insurance industry
