Thank you very much! Have a question: when you achieve to do something and you end up loving it, can you trick yourself to believe it sucks, so AMCC is building up though?
I'm only here because of discipline. I was in severe depression for 5 years. The only way I get myself up every day isn't inspiration or hope. I get up because I believe that I need to be productive. If I'm choosing to remain in this world, I need to do what I was made for as a man. I need to work towards something.
You are not alone, brother.
Hope isn't a strategy, while quality recovery still requires work.
Is there anything in specific I can pray about for you?
@@TravisMack358 is there anything you're avoiding about yourself when you try to fix others? Confront that with actionable strategies.
Keep showing up. This world needs our men. You were made for a time like this. More of us are taking everything day by day, and that’s all you can do!
I love how Dr Huberman always credits his colleagues whenever he cites their research. It's a sign of an honest, non-narcissistic man.
It's also just how the scientific profession works - you always have to cite a reference for where you get your information from. He could be honest and non-narcissistic (probably true) but it could also be because he is competent at his job
@@thecurrentmomentyour describing honesty which he exhibits
@@carycimino7699as well as describing academic protocol Cary🤨
He also shows signs of being a non-psychopath, non-serial killer and non-rapist. He’s a good man.
You sound like someone who throws “narcissist” around all day without knowing the real meaning
I was depressed since I was a child. I was in the streets at 10. I was an alcoholic by 14. I was in jail by 17. & I was selling fire arms by 18. I “was” depressed in these times… I turned that around when I realized this life is not all about me, I’m a man & I have shit to do. I’ve been 5 years away from that side of me. I’m perfecting the art of my own purpose now. & you’ll do the same my friend
Incredible! Congrats on turning your life around, can’t imagine how challenging that was and still is im sure
Niceee
Awesome! You are on the right track ❤
@0GEE.yhwh. Thanks for sharing. May your path continue to shine brighter and brighter
I’m proud of everyone here for taking steps to becoming the ideal version of themself. Progress isn’t linear, failing is guaranteed, and life is worthless unless you give it meaning. Best of luck to you all on your journeys
Thank you for this! The" failing is guaranteed" part really resonates with me at the moment, and probably with many others too. We just need to get back up and back on track! 😁
Thank you so much ! Happy for you and your success!
Self Discipline is total FREEDOM. Counterintuitive to most perspectives. It is a foundation of integrity. So solid that you have no concerns to even have to fight off... Why it's so peaceful... It is the way to have it all... The work and the play.❤
Freedom is the ability to choose and live with the ramifications of our choices. I see this link with Discipline because being disciplined is one of the hardest choices to make and requires lots of will power.
That is profound! 🙌🏾
stoicism comes to mind
@@westmantooth6846 💯 Stoicism - an ancient Greek school of philosophy founded at Athens by Zeno of Citium. The school taught that virtue, the highest good, is based on knowledge; the wise live in harmony with the divine Reason (also identified with Fate and Providence) that GOVERNS nature, and are INDIFFERENT to the VICISSITUDES of fortune and to pleasure and pain.
@@pseudo_ra Will Power can be commanded by the skillful use of one's IMAGINATION. ✨ We were never supposed to stop using it 👁️ It is the most powerful tool our Creator gave us... This is one of its very purposes.
Forcing myself to do things I don't want to do (particular when it comes to physical suffering) ends up giving me more self confidence than anything else.
Same here! I started going to the gym with my husband this month and omg , the struggle to even get my gym clothes on is ridiculous. I come up with all these excuses as to why "It's not a good time". But when I just push through it and drag myself out the door even if I'm in such a grumpy mood I actually leave the gym feeling better and motivated for "life" lol.
This
The question is: Why do you need self confidence in first place ? Do you need to be ever stimulated in order to feel you are alive and feeling good ? Our happiness does not depend on any external factors. It's about the discovery of the dimension of the everlasting consciousness, our presence, which is the ultimate self. When you discover this space in yourself, you don't care about low or high self esteem, confidence, achievements, it's a completely different way to see the life, with real joy, strength and happiness. It's no effort, because you don't need to pull yourself. You can learn more about by watching Eckhart Tolle videos, or Allan Watts, Ramana Maharshi, Krishnamurti, etc. Good luck. 👍
Stop the press. Been listening to huberman for years. But, I possibly just heard the most profound thing he's ever said. Starting from 10 minutes and 40 seconds. It is good to want things that suck. We should not only welcome those things, but we should desire them, and we should even celebrate them. They both literally and physiologically create life. We should not aim to remove all pain or all the things that suck from our life. Just the opposite. We should make sure we have them in our life. Point being, pain is okay. In fact, by design it is good. Wrapping my head and heart around this one is not easy.
Suffering is inevitable but you get to choose your own variety of it. Do nothing and the consequences are your suffering, or voluntarily suffer now to avoid the consequences of inaction. We each have a natural tendancy towards convenience and comfort but you can choose to give those up for something greater.
We develop self-esteem by doing yards things, repeatedly. Overcoming, pushing limits, surprising ourselves, these are the things which lift us up and develops confidence and self-esteem. That this a surprise to the newer generations shows how many have been robbed of opportunities to develop resiliency by rewarding them for doing essentially so little as to be laughable. The level of anxiety in young people has been there for a while now and I think it has so much to do with not learning to do the hard things, gutting through it coming out the other side. Belief in self is huge.
It’s a stoic teaching. I recommend reading ‘Meditations’ by Marcus Aurelius.
Regarding that “do a little bit more” principal - According to Arnold Schwarzenegger, when he asked Muhammad Ali how many reps he did, this was Ali’s reply: “First, I go until I’m exhausted. Then I start counting reps.” On the self discipline front, one of the best pieces of advice I ever read was “Always do the hardest thing first.”
The best advice is to pay others to do what you don't like doing.
Eat the Frog by Brian Tracy talks about this.

Man you are a goat for this
What does AMCC stand for?
AMCC = Anterior Midcingulate Cortex 🧠
Thanks
Great episode. Key to survival is purpose. We all need one when we wake up in the morning, or we're just barely existing (if not already dead). Same as loneliness - it's not lack of companionship, it's lack of purpose.
I have zero worthwhile purpose. I am dying .
Yesss!! Purpose is everything, even if you manufacture purpose, one must have purpose to keep going. Find one, even if you have to start small. Being accountable to something or to someone, real or imagined. When we listen to the voice in our head that tells us we have no purpose, it's LYING to you! Think of someone you love/loved and you valued in your life, whether living or not. Or even a figure you admire. Talk to them. Write to them in a journal. Ask them for advice, imagine them supporting you. Volunteer at an animal shelter. Become accountable to someone or something. You will feel purposeful.

I love seeing how effin passionate Andrew is he’s sooo good.
I listen to these podcasts/ KZhead videos from the usual suspects regularly , and I love them. I’ve gained so much knowledge and appreciation for the hosts and the topics discussed. This makes me always question myself for personal improvement based from the info communicated …. However, I have one question/ thought pattern often which non of them seem to address…. I am a carpenter/ builder, done it since I was 16, now 34. All the training/ exercise advice they give seems to be aimed at people with ‘office jobs’ trying to get fit, or athletes trying maximise performance …. No criticism what so ever, but… If you’ve ever worked on a building site, particularly for long periods of time, it’s one of the most physically demanding career choices you could make. I work 9 hour days , 6 day a week humping timber, digging holes, pouring concrete etc etc. I’m not blowing my own trumpet, The point I’m getting at is… I’d be interested to hear some scientific data on people that work such physical lives, other than athletes. Ie construction workers, farmers, miners etc. we are exposed to lots of toxic chemicals, dust but that’s part of the job and we accept that our lives maybe cut short from the exposure. That being said, I’ve met some of the toughest, strongest most resilient people on building sites that do no other form of exercise. To add briefly to a long post, apologies…being British, I think the class system plays a huge part. Working class Northerners are a tough breed full stop.
Im a farmer in Georgia, USA and would also love to see this research/data.
Well put! My husband is a plasterer. And for a long time I was following all the advice on nutrition, excercise etc and wanting him to adhere to what I was trying to to, until I realised what you just said… It would be great to find advice, research etc, that would applies.
Self Discipline is total FREEDOM. Counterintuitive to most perspectives. It is a foundation of integrity. So solid that you have no concerns to even have to fight off... Why it's so peaceful... It is the way to have it all... The work and the play.
I have mad respect for the people who designed the set, the director and gaffer. Amazing cinematography, I will definitely create the same look. Keep going good team work.
Dr. Huberman is a blessing to us ✝️
I love this because what motivates you is bigger than you. Lately I’ve been devoting myself to my higher self and service to the world and I’ve been so much more productive and disiplined
I truly love when I learn new things and get new perspectives. Thanx so much
ALWAYS ALWAYS show up for yourself 💪🏼
This actually explains why extreme cold exposure is so effective at boosting someone's mindset! No one, and I mean NO ONE actually wants to do it, no matter how often one has already done it. So I guess the aMCC is highly affected by this practice. Very cool! (sorry for the obligatory pun)
Pun received. Still processing. Judgement inbound ... passed!
Yesssss my macro suck.
Yes, you can learn to want to do it. I fffing love it. But after a longer break I do it because I don't want to do it. I did it 5-8 times in a week with sauna for 18 months row. 3 times in cold water and sauna start, between and after. Cold exposure from 3-20mins per. For me 8mins seems to make the trick. Time at sauna is at least 6mins in 140-160 heart beat.
Very good interview and i really enjoy dr, Huberman’s podcasts! He was about to say something to explain further but the interviewer cuts to an example and couldn’t catch what the dr. was about to say.. thanks though to able to make everyone enjoy the subject!
I think it's so true how you should confront the challenge that is darkest to you and only you. That's why so many people look outside but in reality only you'll know what's darkest to you. I love running, I can't get my head around why people struggle to go to the gym and run. It's like an actual addiction for me. However, even though I'll push myself... My AMCC is probably not growing from it. Therefore, I should tackle something like cooking for my family because you me cooking sucks.
Still not enough, we need to reintegrate our own shadows by ourselves becoming monsters.
For me it is the opposite - I find repetitive exercise insanely boring. I had to start playing basketball again so I could trick myself into regular cardio because it was linked to something that would also engage my mind (reading plays, being in the right place ahead of time, defensive schemes, etc). I can't understand why people would run or go to the gym for the sake of it vs the discipline of maintaining fitness.
Happens to me with cycling, I love it, I'll do up to 60 km everyday without a problem and at this point I feel so empty when I don't go out, I sometimes cycle twice a day. I think my AMCC grows when I stay home and do hard tasks instead of going cycling which is my escape. Running though is hard as fuck to me so I'll do it a bit more often
Keep running! I've been running 30+ yrs, when you are older it isn't so much fun, but the reward of doing something difficult that your body doesn't want to do, is actually more.
@@hola_chelo Yeah I love biking but I find having to get my bike out of the shed and lock everything up is what accelerates my AMCC I guess, because it sucks haha. This is a really interesting thread, keep telling us what you guys doing difficult with exercise. I love running because I can listen to my music which is a brilliant thing to do
I really like Andrew Huberman, I'm always interested in what he has to say.
I love the micro and macro sucks!! That helped me understand your point. I'm still not sure how to 'enjoy' the challenging or painful process but I'll definitely reflect on it. I totally understand that I've been programmed by reward and that's why exercise and healthy eating is hard to do on my own. That's a great revelation - thank you!
Holy Moly, the production value is insane!!
I do like that story about spending more energy thinking about whether to run or walk the next 50’ than the net difference between physically running and walking the next fifty feet
Love your podcasts 😊
Thank you ,it helps to have a goal objective target.
This is so interesting! As well as useful, pertinent and actionable. Can't wait to watch the full episode.
I found self-discipline to be much easier when you love yourself, and you realize you’re doing these “things” for your betterment. Don’t really love yourself, it’s much harder to make the effort.
well said
The color grading, photography and the audio of this channel is so well taken care of and gorgeous! It looks so clean 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
that's so true
nice. i rmemeber many years ago buddhist/hindu monks said the same things. like dandapanialso says "to build willpower do a little bit more than you set out to do". AMCC was legendary information
When I was trying to dig myself out of this financial, mental and emotional hole I was in, I created this rule 'one shit thing a day'. Even if it was as small as a phonecall. I got myself out of that hole
good video. i needed this.
This was really helpful
He didnt get to finish his point about Group A's 5 minute negative Video about stress vs. Groub B's 5 minute positive video about stress. I think i can draw the conclusion on my own, but I wanted to hear Huberman's take.
What was the conclusion?
Fascinating! Wish the host had interrupted this expert a lot less
Dr Huberman is always a good listen. Very interesting
3:03/3:04 minute topic - tenacity and will power 6:21: research on humans and challenge impending feeling /still tenacity and willpower ... AMCC 7:40 - super agers and their AMCC
This is FASCINATING.
I loved this episode! Chris should learn to listen more though
it's so peaceful.
More men like Andrew Huberman are needed in the world!
This aged poorly.
Super interesting to hear this. A few years ago I had pushed myself to start going to the gym. It was challenging and I didn't want to do it, but I went anyways. I got in shape and ended up slowly not going anymore. Now, 3 years later, I've started going at least 5 days a week over the last 8 months... and although I'm now in the best shape of my life, and push myself super hard when I go. The struggle to want to go isn't there anymore. I actually really look forward to it. And I notice my ability to discipline myself is no where close to where it was a few years ago. So thank you for explaining this! It really clarified A LOT of what had created my self discipline back in the day. That same self discipline I had also gave me a much greater desire to live. So I guess this means its time to get after it again! haha
My thoughts exactly. Another comment mentioned cold plunges. I am going tk test a sauna approach. I guess we will have to monitor ourselves ana adapt. No doubt new research will be done. If we set ourselves an alarm for stupid early every once in a while might be good at keeping us on point. Good luck
@@michaelsmith9714 the micro sucks and macro sucks explanations that was given will definitely help! I used to think of it as listening to the "I should" voice in my head. I got really good at just responding to myself when I noticed myself thinking "I should do this". Now I think I give myself more excuses not too because physically and mentally I'm a lot better off than I was a few years ago. But I'm definitely not continuing to push myself like I have before. I've stopped learning new things, stopped creating new goals for myself, and a lot of my passion for life has slowly faded. But even with all that said I'm no where near as depressed and angry as I was like 6 or 7 years ago. Recently getting out of a relationship that had been holding back growth for me has put a lot of things into perspective. Never sacrifice your happiness to try and make someone else happy. In the end you both lose.
Could you clarify a little on what you mean that your discipline levels are jo where close to what they were? Do you mean that even if you workout consistently, it doesn't feel like disciplining you because you don't mind doing it? And therefore, it means that you don't feel as good at disciplining yourself doing other stuff?
@@gediminaskulakauskas8799 yeah that's right. I also mean I tend to procrastinate other things a lot more now too. Awhile back I'd jump at things as soon as they popped into my head.
Really great explanation given by thus man💯

waking up for fajr in the cold winter definitely building my amcc.
The basis of this video exemplifies the basis of behavior where everything you do starts with an idea.
informative video, personally I think success is more about passion than (pure) discipline.
Watching a video about discipline was a micro-suck, but getting through it and learning was pleasant!
Very interesting about Anorexia. I have one kid who had a year of high danger from this condition and it makes me wonder about repurposing the brain function for her studies , her coordination exercises (not aerobic stuff so much) - getting her that sense of reward via things that will actually help her
Great idea! Worth running some experiments in different areas of interest for a more positive outcome for sure
The bit about the AMCC not being involved if you simply enjoy something is interesting. I essentially hate every run that I do and I feel truly miserable in the last few minutes. I guess this means my AMCC is really being activates?
I guess that’s the bit he’s saying. Keep going on your runs tho!💪
so how come this spectacular episode isn't on spotify?? first time coming here and i won't be leaving anytime soon :)
This was a fascinating, important, well structured presentation. Nice job.
This year's gonna be mine imma start working on myself n be the greatest of my blood line
If the AMCC is connected to our will to live does that mean that life is a chore we fundamentally don't want to do?
I think it evolved the other way, that is to get you through life even if you find it miserable.
Seriously not even 1 comment about the power of intention and believe here? This is for me the most important thing out of this 16 minutes, that if you believe that stress is bad, it's going to have bad impact on you, and I believe this is the same with everything. This shows exactly how the media, more specifically what we read and feed to our brains can have impact on our entire life and how quickly we can be switched.
Then you’ve never been stressed foreal. Stress causes inflammation and disease
@@someone7773 there is good and bad stress... You literally need stress to live. And everyone experiences stress this isn't a competition, nor a pity party.
Anyway i agree with you. Mindset is everything.
@@spacebar9733 u don’t need stress to live. Anxiety tells you if you’re doing something you’re not supposed to be doing. Or if you’re not doing something you’re supposed to be doing. Stress in all forms is the hormone cortisol and seriously bad for you Dawg

Can you do a podcast with huberman or some other expert on cognitive benefits of learning music and dancing
I've heard that "one more" thing being called "Dislocated Expectations" by James Appleton on Ross Edgley's video where he was doing hill intervals getting his land legs back. In that case it was James throwing the last (extra) rep at Ross, after Ross thought he was done. There's clearly a difference between adding one rep yourself and having one thrown at you after you just emptied the tank on the "last" rep of your workout.
Romans 3:27 talks about the law of faith (the word for faith is simply put persuasion). this conversation shows the truth of the law of faith and how real it is.
Great piece. Our minds are crazy
I'm impressed by the depth of insights in this video. Your dedication to sharing valuable information is evident. But guys trust me and go find the book called Whispers of Manifestation that is a must-read book.. you can thank me later
Pranayama is a GAME CHANGER
Pranayama and wim hoff have def helped me. Focuses the mind very quick
great video
this contradiction between the experiment with mice who are forced to exercise (negative physiological parameters), and forcing themselves on humans to exercise willpower as an amcc activation that brings benefits I understand it to mean that the key here is attitude - forcing oneself and sustaining action of one's own volition despite pain as a challenge has a positive effect, while forcing oneself with apathy without faith and will - without the desire to overcome, cutting oneself off - causes harm
@02:51 shameless plug cracked me up 😂😂😂😂😂 love both your works btw ✌🏽
I just dont know how he could hit the upload button after rewatching his interview not realising how many times he cut huberman off before he could finish his point or story 😳
By the way, Nick Bare just run a marathon under 2:40 🔝🔝 Such on point analogy made by Chris
Impressed and inspired - think about it: now you have discovered the secret behind women living longer than men - most women have trained a lot to do the things they don't like to do, but they do those tasks anyway. I don't mean those that you secretly love to do or love to have done - but those that you do out of duty because nobody else does them or nobody else has the will-power enough to do. Looking forward to measurements of AMCC in both men and women! Stanford could challenge Harvard's longitudinal study, giving an explanation to men's and women's life-expectancy figures. If men would do more chores, they would live longer? I don't mean cold plunges and running until you vomit or sitting at your desk from 8 am to 2 am - I mean: picking up all the lego-pieces, again, wiping the bread crumbs, again, shifting the bedlinen, again, packing the lunch-boxes, again, cleaning the shower-cabin, again, repeating the same info for grandma, again, etc. Take deep breaths and do the chores, again, reasoning and managing your own feelings and those of the others... teaching them to handle tasks that are important, but not rewarding. Deep breaths, just do it - will-power, stamina, sisu.
I see it in both my parents. My mom is definitely gonna live longer than my dad at 68. She still has her muscles and able to squat, bend over and lift heavy groceries, laundry etc. My dad is 71 and started losing muscle significantly at 65. My mum has been a Hausfrau for 30+ years and do heavy chores while raising us. Doing those tasks everyday made her stronger in her senior years while my dad had a desk job most of his working life and only started gardening in his retirement
@@sarabennett6295 Kudos! Hope all the best for your parents and much use of the all the new knowledge that emerges all the time in addition to such common sense that has served people for generations.
Love the random jump cut to a tighter shot of Andrew drinking his AG1 drink hahaha
I've been noticing it my entire life. For example, I can walk far away from home and go back tired, and at the last kilometer I'd feel almost completely exhausted. But I have to force myself to walk that kilometer, and after completing this I feel like I'm alive, and no depression can push me to the ground.
So in the beginning Andrew says that voluntary exercise has positive effects while forced exercise has negative ones. But when it comes to pushing that extra mile for the amcc activation isn't that somewhat linked to forcing urself in some way? I just felt curious about this like is there any way to avoid said negative effects when forcing urself to keep persevering in any activity?
I wonder if the AMCC is still activated when we do something that we find extremely hard and that we don’t enjoy, but we have someone over our shoulder like a training coach or a supervisor pushing us to do it…
For my fellow Christians out there - the biblical pirnciples of not fulfilling the desires of the flesh, taking up your cross daily and the act of overcoming explained through science! How cool is that
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Ya sure if that story was true
@@mikes2120just so you know the Bible has been proven to be historically accurate. the Dead Sea scrolls (the oldest written documents found) contain all books of the Bible, except Esther. Whether or not Jesus walked on the earth isn’t the question, the question is whether or not he was a liar. That’s up for you to decide. You can’t deny history, but you are free to deny what Jesus said as true. You should dive in man, and look into it. if you’re right nothing changes. However if I’m right, you’ll burn in hell unless you repent. Just sum to think about 😁
There really was a flood? Wow. You are absolutely, irrefutably wrong. Also there have been about 3k recorded gods. Who is to say you worshipping the wrong one isn't *worse* than worshipping none?

Unlimited value
I'm curious, what is the effect of confronting a situation associated with fear for the AMCC?
Don't give up on your mental battle
Game changer
is the amcc different from acc ? or is amcc a more specific area from acc? in my neuropsychology class we mentioned the acc in corticostriatal and corticolimbic circuit but didnt mention it with discipline
This topic being discussed reminds me of that opening scene in Conan the Barbarian, where he's a kid forced to turn the large grinding mill wheel for years until he turns into Arnold Schwartzeneger! ... there goes your forced exercise right there!😂
What an analogy!
@@siddharthraychaudhuri7250 😂
So basically: to be disciplined, do tiny little shitty things back to back. So to be more disciplined, be desciplined hahahha. This was mad fascinating regardless. Got me motivated to want to increase my AMI
Can we talk about a neural mechanism that explains the relationship between willpower, motivation, discipline, glucose, environmental influences, H & N neurotransmitters, AMCC, evolutionary psychology, and dopamine?
interesting. I'm a bit confused at 10:00 Huberman says people over romanticise pushing themselves to failure, but that the end Chris says its about pushing beyond the limitations. So then it wouldn't have been a limit/failure... maybe its a bit like playing poker and you're all in, then you put down the house keys (maybe its a damp flat but they don't know) I guess its a bit different because you might not win a mansion, but the attitude and thought/feeling is present. my microsux is social media as I get alot of requests on fb, and youtube the vast amount of vids I have to watch...organizing and allowing subconscious to take control (surrender) through meditation etc. is also where sleep is so important. finding purpose and what really matters at a deep level is perhaps the key to management. cold showers might be my macrosux, though I think it can be beneficial as getting out a warm shower is just as bad sometimes. I would not recommend overdoing extreme types of activity as it can deplete your energy.
points disused - 1. Voluntarily doing things have a +ve impact- Experiment done on mice- one mice was allowed to do voluntary exercise and other was forced to do whenever the first one did. Result- the one who do voluntarily saw good psychological result and other saw -ve psychological results. Humans brains work the same way. 2. What you believe is how you feel- Experiment done on people- one group was shown presentation of how stress is good for your health and other group was shown how stress is bad or you. Result- They started to feel what they were told and believed in. 3. AMCC (we have two in either side) is a part of brain responsible for various activities. important ones are Tenacity, Willpower and Will to live. If you do hard things (micro and major suck) it will increase in size and can be used in other activities (Calluses the mind - David Goggins)
Exercise, Intermittent Fasting and Cold Showers - Life changing and available to everyone - push yourself for one week and then you won’t want to stop you’ll have so much will power and momentum 💪
I'm curious how the AMCC is affected through intense psychotherapy. I believe it fits into micro and macro suckage because it's literally turning towards the things that cause you pain and have been avoiding for a number of years. I'd be curious to see a study where the AMCC is observed in psychotherapy clients. I'm a trauma therapist so I'm a bit biased 😊.
5:05 from here on is excellent
Are the difficult tasks limited to physical things? Or can it be mental/emotional?
here for huberman. took away a lot from what he had to say but was really annoyed by the interviewer who instead of being curious and asking questions, came off as trying to go toe to toe and prove his own knowledge, even cutting huberman off multiple times. i actually don't think he asked a single question, just statements about what he knew in response to anything huberman said. not to mention the tone deaf boston marathon comment lol.
My AMCC must be massive cause almost every task is for me a macrosuck. BTW, this reminds me a lot of this idea of depression becoming chronic in the body if you don't do anything to get out of it, is there any research of that related to the size of AMCC?
