Due to sheer willpower, I will watch this video until the end and take action.

There’s an uncanny trend of Huberman dropping a podcast, right when I need it the most. Thank you. I wish school lessons were as interesting and actionable as these podcasts. It breaks my heart to have the timeless knowledge discovered, but not distributed.

"Perhaps it's taking you a lot of tenacity and willpower to get this far through the episode" - love sporadic humor like this from Andrew 😄

This podcast and learning about the mechanisms of resistance have helped me begin kicking the habit of vaping. 7 days nicotine free today!

The moment i stumbled upon this channel, i feel like my life have shifted into the better direction where i have been putting more and more effort into doing what i should be doing, and i believe i am not the only one feeling this way. So thank you again Dr Andrew for making this channel and inspiring us to become a better versions of ourselves.

"If you believe that willpower and tenacity are unlimited then you can increasingly engage in challenging task after challenging task" This was worth the two hour listen just to hear this finding

William James; "Do something everyday for no other reason than that you would rather not do it at all." Dr Huberman, you have been a life saver! Thank you! Obviously that quote was for this podcast. The following is for every dopamine podcast of yours, especially the one with Dr. Lemke. "Do not pursue pleasure, for thou may have the misfortune to overtake it." Don Quixote Man of La Mancha

Dear Andrew, I'm a PhD student in chemistry and just want to say that your work apart from changing my life style, also change the way I express and communicate my research. That's invaluable to me and I'm deeply grateful

09:25 willpower and depression are on opposite spectrums. If you don't believe there will be positive outcomes in the future (depressed), you will find it harder to engage your willpower 14:54 will power does not deplete. It is replenishiable. 22:58 when well rested, our tenacity is greater. Conversely, when sleep deprived, sick, in physical pain or emotional pain willpower diminishes. Being distracted also affects negatively. 01:07:30 definitions of tenacity and willpower Tenacity: "No matter what you do or say to me, no matter what you put in front of me, I WILL ___" Willpower: "No matter what you do or say to me, no matter what you put in front of me, I WON'T___" 01:58:40 to increase capacity for tenacti and willpower, then it is good to reward yourself occasionally (not always) after you success tenacity with something you like

Unbelievable consistency in excellence on this channel. The preparation that goes into every single episode on this channel makes me feel so respected as a viewer (and awed at the amount of work, frankly!) and so honored to be in the company of Four Million subscribers who I feel a positive kinship with because we all appreciate what's here. I see Dr. Huberman is doing some live events and I have to imagine that attendees actually do feel some sort of positive bonding getting together in person and knowing they have common ground that is such high ground.

I listen to your podcasts all the way from Zimbabwe. Now I'm watching it on UKposts. Thanks for making critical information available to the ordinary guy

Thank you Dr Andrew, I have improved my life significantly all thanks to you and your effort❤

Thank you for your work. You are helping to improve my life.

As a trainer and a coach for over 26 years… I have always been a believer of doing something HARD every day… However, listening to this I have learned it’s not just something hard, but something hard that you don’t WANT to do… “mini sucks” 🎉

Thank you Dr. Andrew Huberman for yet another episode from you - I sit here on my mat in Denmark 🇩🇰 with a big smile and a warm feeling in my heart seeing this new episode from you entering my space. Makes me so happy each and every time because I know it = new learning for me - thank you again and again ☀️👏👌!

Honestly, the BEST podcasts are those, where it is just you speaking! your rhethoric abilites are just unmatched.🏆🤓

Thank you Dr. Huberman, you've been huge help to me, it goes beyond just communicating science. I've been overwhelmed these days I have a lot on my mind right now, some serious concerns and few small thing I can't stop thinking about, so naturally my sleep suffers, two days ago I couldn't calm down, let alone fall asleep it was 3AM and I had demanding tasks next day. I tried NSDR for the fifth or sixth time that night, in the middle of it I heard clearly in my head your voice saying "You are in control of your nervous system, you direct your perceptions and your actions" I don't know why I started crying. I don't remember stopping crying but I fall asleep and first time in weeks I had good night rest and felt refreshed, soothed and almost invincible.

So to get better at doing hard thing, I should practice doing hard things. And to increase my chances of doing hard things, I should make doing hard things rewarding (preferably intrinsically). Roger that! Thank you for another great episode and for all you do!

I have known about huberman since highschool. A teacher introduced me to him. The amount I have learned throughout the years has been incredible and it's helped me change for the better. I'm so happy to see him now all over social media. Everyone could learn a lot from him. He's so knowledgeable.

I discovered you about 7 years ago when I was researching the brain and way before you started your own podcast. I listened to you being interviewed by other podcasters and loved your information delivery. Amazing to watch you grow!

That’s the episode we have all been waiting for.

¡Hola,Profe!Just wanted to express my deepest gratitude for another brilliant episode!Thank You,for all Your hard work!

Good morning 🌅 I'm trying to increase my tenacity for reading studying the Bible. I want to draw closer to God and grow deeper in my spirit.

Got a protocol in place to start working on this: everytime Huberman mentions AMCC in this video, I do one push up. Now seriously, this is an amazing finding and really interesting topic.

This is very imp podcast for me, as I was entering the " what's the point of doing hard things" zone, and started to consciously remove myself from things that felt tough and uncomfortable. This resulted in lack of motivation, and now as you said in will power and tenacity. This podcast is going to help in the times where I feel the same, like reminder of why we need to do the things irrespective of the success. I am also going to develop few tasks for me with varied levels of will power and tenacity requirements throughout the week so that I am always actively working on building them. Thank you so much for sharing these valuable insights, truly helpful.

I'm so grateful to you for starting this podcast. Not only you share valuable and precious life advices but you also keep on feeding young and hungry minds such as mine. I’m an undergrad in Biology, and my dream is to become a Neuroscientist (in Italy there’s no bachelor in neuroscience), and while I’m away from home for Uni I find comfort in these episodes, which remind me the beauty and potential of this discipline and everything that it concerns. Thank you Dr. Huberman for keeping my spark alive while I lay the groundwork for achieving my goal 🙏🏻

Had to track down this episode after you dropped a teaser about the aMCC in your conversation with David Goggins. To bolster my willpower, I might have a t-shirt printed that says, “I’d love to…but I’m busy building my anterior mid-cingulate cortex.” 😂 Thanks for your consistently enlightening, extraordinary work!

Been listenning for a year now, life changing podcast. Thank you from Morocco !

Andrew! Thanks for doing for what you are doing. You are an amazing human being coupled with the art of explaining the most complicated things in the simplest way. Always look forward to Monday's. God bless you.

I like how whenever willpower is discussed goggins is mentioned

I just can't get over how valuable these podcasts are for me.

Can I just say that Dr. Huberman, you are singlehandedly an invaluable huber man who lives rent-free in my brain, and I invite you to keep pouring this "spectamazing" information. I can't wait to consume more! You've totally lit up my anterior mid-cingulate cortices to no end. I have learned so much more in my car while driving than I ever did in a classroom! I am grateful for you, Andy. I get this feeling that you're such a good person that you could easily be a good friend of mine. I hope you don't think that's crazy. -Reggie

Thank you for sharing your knowledge and help. I eagerly await each new episode. I’m completely enthralled by every new thing I learn. You’ve helped me and others more than you’ll ever know.

Thankyou Andrew for providing so much great content to people around the globe. Please do podcasts on: -Epigenetics & nature vs nurture Debate -Children/Teenagers suffering from learning & Intellectual Disabilities, autism or dyslexia -The science of risky impulsive behaviors -Scientific studies on meaning and purpose in life -Overthinking, Intrusive thoughts & Daydreaming

Thank you so much for taking your time and doing these podcast. The information shared over the years have truly changed my life for the better. I find it's becoming common conversations to talk about the nervous system, diet, science, physiology and overall living better, and most often your name is brought up 😊. You are changing lives.

I have seen you in short clips on other channels and decided to listen to a full podcast of yours. The amount of information and the way you present it is simply amazing. Well structured, easy to follow without boring slow parts. Thank you very much for your time effort and for making such amazing information available for everyone. Thank you

never seen him so excited about stuff he does his best to walk us through and get across just a bit of what is essential to get stronger in all ways. hats off 🤠

You are an absolute blessing. Thank you for the care, effort, integrity & excellence you put in every episode 🙏🙏🙏

Dr. Huberman, thank you for sharing your expertise with us, this is very important work especially when our country faces so many cases of mental and physical illness. God Bless you !

Dr. Huberman, you have single-handedly helped transformed both my life and my family’s life in ways that I couldn’t have envisioned a few years ago. Much love and sincere gratitude from Berlin 🖤

I found the relationship of the autonomic nervous system and willpower/tenacity very interesting. And I love the podcast but after I was done listening I couldn’t believe I listened to this for 2 hours to learn that just doing the hard thing is the protocol 😂

I wrote in to recommend Dr. Dweck's work and contributions to the show earlier this year. You featured her work on the growth mindset a couple months ago, about a month after I wrote in to the show. Good to see you continue to feature her work.

I always love topics on motivation, willpower and dopamine.. Having knowledge on myself as to why I do and don't things, is so rewarding. Thank you so very much for your service in providing us with powerful knowledge.

Thank you Dr. Huberman, team, sponsors and supporters ☀️

I must use willpower and tenacity to stop binge listening to Dr. Huberman's lectures!❤🤓

God Bless you for all the good you do for your fellow man ❤

This will help me with the students I work with who feel that mustering up the will to follow a teacher’s instructions has no payoff for them. So grateful that you share your knowledge!

"Microsucks" such an awesome concept. I have encouraged all of my kids to participate in an endurance sport during middle school and high school, because learning how to play the head-game is so important to future success in this world. Now Dr. Huberman, you have so kindly given me a brain region and the actual science behind why competing in these endurance sports works. As a faculty member, your contributions via this podcast have become my favorite way to nurture myself, after devoting so much of my energy to my family, my students and my research. Thank you, this work that you do is my favorite part of my commute and my week.

Thanks Andrew 🙏 Gratitude towards you comes so easy when you constantly put out such high level, helpful, life-changing even information. Your doing God's work mate, much appreciated my friend

Here are the top 10 key points from the podcast transcript on building tenacity and willpower: 1. Tenacity and willpower are different from habit execution as they require intervening in our default neural processes and expending effort and energy. 2. Tenacity and willpower exist on a continuum, with apathy and depression on one end and grit, persistence and motivation on the other end. 3. Our ability to generate tenacity and willpower rides on our autonomic nervous system function and balance. Things like sleep, pain, emotional comfort and lack of distraction modulate our willpower. 4. There is evidence that willpower may be a limited resource that can become depleted, and potentially replenished by glucose. However, beliefs about willpower also impact whether it is limited. 5. The anterior midcingulate cortex (aMCC) is a brain hub that generates tenacity and willpower by allocating neural energy and resources. 6. The aMCC gets input from brain areas governing autonomic function, motor control, reward, context-setting, interoception, etc. 7. Activities we resist doing can build up the aMCC and increase future tenacity/willpower. Cardiovascular exercise is one method shown to increase aMCC volume. 8. We can build willpower by adding "micro-sucks" - small challenges we resist doing. This activates the aMCC. 9. Difficult cognitive, physical or emotional challenges can build tenacity/willpower. Pushing beyond comfort builds the aMCC. 10. Occasionally rewarding yourself after exercising tenacity reinforces the behavior and builds future capacity. ------------------------------ Here are some suggestions for taking action on these key points to improve your life: - Prioritize quality sleep, stress management, and avoiding distractions to support your willpower capacity. - Reflect on your beliefs about willpower. Adopt a growth mindset that it can be strengthened over time. - Add in small challenges that require willpower - things you don't want to do. Start small and build up over time. - Pick a new physical, cognitive or emotional challenge that pushes you. Commit to sticking with it, even when difficult. - After completing a willpower challenge, celebrate successes. But don't over-reward every small win. - Monitor if certain activities deplete your willpower. Adjust your schedule to conserve willpower for priority tasks. - Notice when you're drifting into apathy. Take actions to re-engage your motivation and willpower. - Each day, identify 1-2 moments to engage your willpower. This will build the habit over time. - When you lack motivation, focus on taking the very next step rather than the entire challenge. - Ask for support from others when working to build a new habit requiring willpower. An accountability partner can help. - Remember that each effort to build willpower expands your capacity going forward. Progress compounds. The key is to start small, be consistent, acknowledge successes, and gradually increase the willpower challenges over time. Building willpower takes patience but pays continuous dividends.

Thank you Dr Andrew for this beautiful episode. Even I was struggling about getting adapted in a new environment which is totally new to me but this episode gives me understanding of how to adapt any situation with willpower.

Andrew, this is an absolutely spectacular episode! I’ve been a fan of your work for years now (my husband knows everything about circadian rhythms and cold exposure by now) but this! This just blew my mind. Firstly, as a recovered anorexic, it gave me the sense of deeper understanding of my own condition. Whether inherited or acquired, my pumped anterior cingulate cortex was almost screaming at me from inside my head: wow, yes, no matter what happens, I will continue to seek out knowledge about how human body works. Thank you for delivering that knowledge in such a beautiful manner!

Your tools seem to offer a common theme. The power of the mind is awesome. The STOICS got it. Willpower and tenacity are similar to 2 out the Four virtues: discipline and courage. They accomplished them through another virtue:wisdom. Recognizing the dichotomy of control. There are some things we can and cannot control. Being aware of our choices , habits, attitudes toward a life of improving ourselves and others by surrendering our egos can certainly give us a greater will to live😊 thanks for the science behind it.

Many thank yous Andrew, another most fascinating subject. Some of it, plausible and not surprising. And some very interesting surprising. Here's to deciding tenacity/will power are limitless. Thank you again. 😁

Always a pleasure never a chore, is it the only myself that seems to just drift asleep partway through each episode. No fear just means I get to listen more than once, many thanks from a science lover.

Sharing any of your content has provided welcomed intellectual connections. It is always pleasing to engage my brain with your podcasts. Thank you. Grateful

No cookies were harmed in the making of this podcast 🍪

thank you for your brilliant content as always! can you please do an episode on dissociative amnesia (from trauma) and its links with personality/behavior changes and changes in the brain etc? it’s a heavily under explored topic and something that can be very useful to learn about especially for people who know someone who has suffered from trauma related amnesia.

Thanks to that such a profound podcast I could handle 2 days in a row of working out while listening to it. I’m thankful to Andrew for quality and useful content

Thank you Dr. Andrew Huberman for all the valuable information and tools you share with us.

It's ironic how I listened to this podcast because I suck at doing hard things... only to find out i need to do hard things in order to improve my willpower😂 Just wondering how I should gather that first amount of willpower to practice hard things Apart from my pathetic situation I totally get the message of this podcast. Thank you for sharing all the good knowledge!

Now that the term “anterior mid cingulate cortex” is playing on repeat in my head, it will take willpower and tenacity to make it stop! 😂😅 Thanks for another great episode!

From the bottom of my heart I thank you for making this information available. It is particularly helpful to me at this point in my life and I am extremely grateful to you.Not alone is the specific information helpful but knowing there are beautiful people out there doing beautiful things for others. Thank you xoxo❤

Your videos give me the tenacity and willpower to change my life. So thank you Dr. Huberman

Once you watch this video, you understand why some old people stay active and young.

Your the Best far away, greats from Malaga, Spain 👍👍👍

Thanks Dr. Huberman, This is awesome, I listen to this during my shift, everything is explained so well and simply, your podcasts making me more knowledgeable and are very entertaining, thank you so much!❤

Doing a great job of explaining self awareness and how to deliberately choose what output you want depending on each matter of experience, deliberate action from moment to moment and not constantly reactive to our innate tendencies.

With all due respect, Professor, the title of this podcast instantly reminded me of that song from the 2000s, that went like: "10% luck, 20% skill, 15% concentrated power of will.." 😅

It's 10pm in Australia, I'm so fucking drunk, (it's my birthday. But I will be damned if I do not watch another episode of Huberman Lab when it is released. THanks for all the information big man.

Thank you so much for helping me and everyone that watches you with your podcasts.

As one of your audiences, I decide to dive more in neuroscience by myself. It may take months or years but I believe it's good for me and everyone I care about in the long term by using new knowledge and also increasing my willpower and tenacity. Thank you so much, Dr Andrew Huberman! All the best, Jake.

So I need to get plenty of sleep and do exercises in order to increase my willpower. But first, I need the willpower to go to bed early and start doing exercises 😂

Can you do an episode on SSRIs and Antidepressants (like Xanax) long term effects on the body? Even after quitting. Watched almost every episode you made, and couldn't find this kind of deep dive, and this would be super useful for family members who are dealing with depression Thank youuuuu for everything you do!

I'm a recovering porn, sex and love addict. And I have to thank you Dr. Andrew, for listening to this episode has allowed me to understand the mechanisms put in march since this morning, when I accidentally came into contact with an stimulus that could otherwise cause me to relapse (or at least slip back a bit) into unwanted behaviors. Understanding and naming those mechanisms have boosted my capacity to maintain tenacity and keep working through the resistance. The struggle is indeed the reward. It is hard to put thoughts into words but I hope I've been clear as to how much this episode has already affected my life and kept me in course. Thank you from the depths of my soul, Dr Huberman.

🤯🤯🤯. While this episode was definitely not a "microsuck" (and therefore not building up my anterior cingulate cortex) it gave me frameworks and tools grounded in sound evidence for engaging my anterior cingulate cortex for building willpower and tenacity -- keys for learning, growth, resilience and perhaps longevity. Huge thanks to Dr. Huberman for putting together this great episode and for my new favorite word "microsuck".

If we reward ourselves in engaging in activities that utilize tenacity and willpower, how does that align with your previous teaching that we need to engaged in activities for the sake of the activity. i.e. rewarding oneself (increasing dopamine) before, after and during the activity undermines the effort and enjoyment of the activity itself??

“Sheer tyranny of will” -Norm (rip)

Every time I look to see what other subject you are approaching feels like you are reading my mind and addressing my problems. Thank you!

Thanks Andrew. Coming from a household of people that have a strong ‘I absolutely will not’ muscle, I’ve been working on this character/trait forever it feels like! This makes more sense, I always feel better when I do something that was really hard.

Love listening to your podcast while I'm working, it personally helped me focus better:)

Thanks for this great episode. I really appreciate your time! I am so inspired by your work! You are such a motivator.

I truly fell blessed and honored to be able to partake in the same information as some of the most brilliant people on earth 🎉 I don't live in the best area some would call it the Hood however in my home I listen and learn from your work thank you Dr Huberman

The thought of that willpower is a real thing and not some word thats just thrown around made me so excited and happy, this is one of the best podcasts so far for me. Huberman is a great man, I really think and hope hes of those super-agers 🙌

Thank you a lot Dr. Andrew Huberman. This episode was so exciting to me.

Another informative podcast from Andrew. Always useful! Thanks for being out there and sharing this with us!

I've loved the podcast! From my experience lot of the things you are referring into creating more willpower from getting into the unconformable situation of new environments (new tasks, places, people) is a positive feedback into generating more willpower in general. I see this into my perspective of a person that is eager on doing more things and specially different things. But one thing that I've struggle specially when talking to friends or family is in how we can generate this kind of internal change when there is none. We always talk about how to include new things in people that are permeable to do so, but how to do the same in finding the hook in people that don't that is the difficult part.

Thanks Dr Huberman, I've been thinking on this idea for a long time now and I'm glad I watched this entire podcast from end to end while taking notes. Safe to say, "Micro-sucks" are going to be come a significant part of my every day

Oh yes, every time I have to clean my windows. Thank you so much - for this and for all you do. In my opinion, you are discussing crucial life skills and approaches in a world in which everyone just wants to order even their groceries online, escape and feel fantastic every second of the day. Truly, cannot thank you enough. ⛅

It’s always a pleasure to discover about the wonders of our brain🤩and I applause the way the Dr presents it, and how articulated he is!…I’m learning every time in this channel ✨🧠

Love the buildup of this episode, adding a bit of historical context on how we got to this point in our understanding

Another great episode, and one that personally hits home with me. Thank you again for the insight Dr. Huberman

I find this discussion fascinating!! Particularly the mind-body connections and the connections drawn between certain health disorders like obesity and psychiatric disorders like depression, especially as they both relate to the ideas of willpower and tenacity. Knowing that the gut microbiome effects mental health, that gut dysbiosis can be a cause of (or at least contributor to) depression, i would love to hear more about these interrelated topics, ESPECIALLY as they relate to populations who don't have easy access to healthy food, healthy environments, and may not have safe spaces for physical activity. THANK YOU for your scholarship and your education. I learn so much!

My life has changed so much ever since I discovered this man.!

Thankyou as always uncle Andrew, I appreciate what you do for humanity:)

As usual, extremely thorough and actionable information. Thank you, Andrew.

Thank you for your insightful and educational videos. They not only serve for academic purposes but also help me gather my thoughts before going to sleep.

This is why we have the saying “if you want something done, give it to a busy person”. Busy people are constantly exercising tenacity and willpower to maintain and increase momentum

Thank you so much Dr. Andrew Huberman !! Great information!
