Key Takeaway
Protect the first 30 minutes of your day from your phone. Use the 15-45 minute sleep-inertia window to choose one intentional input—read a page, write three priorities, take a walk, or practice gratitude—before messages, feeds, and other people’s agendas take over. This small boundary improves what you focus on, how you feel, and how you frame the day. Build your own intelligence first; then use AI to challenge and extend your thinking, not replace it.
Episode Overview
Jim Kwik explores how AI and digital convenience can erode memory, critical thinking, cognitive resilience, and human connection when they become substitutes for effort. He argues for deliberate mental training, active learning, physical movement, social connection, and intentional technology use. Kwik also shares practical models for using AI as a thinking partner while strengthening distinctly human capabilities such as empathy, curiosity, purpose, adaptability, and judgment.
Key Insights
Build Before You Borrow From AI
Kwik’s central rule is to do your own thinking before asking AI for answers. Brainstorm, define the real problem, and generate possible solutions first; then use AI to pressure-test assumptions, identify blind spots, or synthesize information.
Cognitive Reserve Is a Retirement Account for Your Brain
Mental, physical, and social activity build a reserve that can support cognitive function later in life. Kwik connects this to the “Aging with Grace” nun study, where a participant maintained strong cognition despite Alzheimer’s-related brain pathology.
Convenience Has a Cognitive Cost
Outsourcing navigation, memory, calculation, writing, and judgment can make life easier while reducing opportunities to practice mental skills. Kwik argues that neuroplasticity requires challenge: effort is not a flaw in the system, but the stimulus for change.
Teach What You Learn Before You Forget It
Learning is not a spectator sport. Turn new information into a conversation, explanation, or lesson quickly; teaching exposes gaps, strengthens recall, and turns passive consumption into active learning.
Win the First Minutes of the Day
The mental input you consume during the first 15-45 minutes after waking can disproportionately shape your attention, mood, and interpretation of the day. Start with thought before communication, rather than immediately reacting to messages, feeds, or news.
Frameworks or Models
BUILD: Build Your Intelligence Before You Borrow Artificial Intelligence
B — Brainstorm independently before consulting AI. U — Understand and define the real problem rather than optimizing a shallow question. I — Imagine at least three answers or run thought experiments from different perspectives. L — Leverage AI as a creative partner to test assumptions, expose blind spots, and synthesize information. D — Decide what the information means and what action to take; humans retain responsibility for judgment.
HUMAN
H — Heart: develop emotional intelligence, empathy, compassion, and storytelling. U — Understanding: maintain curiosity and ask why. M — Meaning: ground work and life in purpose. A — Adaptation: learn, unlearn, and relearn as conditions change. N — Nexus: strengthen social skills, leadership, influence, parenting, and relationships.
Learn, Teach, Live, Teach
First learn an idea. Then teach it to another person to deepen understanding and reveal knowledge gaps. Live it through application, then teach it again from experience rather than theory.
Three Cs Task Rhythm
Create in the morning by writing, planning, or producing. Consume at midday through research and reading. Close at night with reflection, journaling, yoga nidra, or planning the next day so the mind can wind down.
Notable Quotes
"Learning is not a spectator sport."
"An exhausted mind is a coward."
Action Items
-
1
Create a 30-minute phone-free morning
Keep your phone outside the bedroom or out of reach. For the first 30 minutes after waking, replace scrolling with one intentional practice: reading, journaling, gratitude, planning, movement, or quiet reflection.
-
2
Use the BUILD process on your next AI prompt
Before opening ChatGPT or another AI tool, write your own brainstorm, define the problem, and list three possible answers. Then ask AI to challenge your reasoning, surface biases, or offer alternative perspectives.
-
3
Teach one idea within 24 hours
After a podcast, book chapter, meeting, or course, explain the most useful lesson to a friend, colleague, or journal. Aim to state the idea simply and identify one way you will apply it.
-
4
Add deliberate cognitive friction
Practice one task without defaulting to technology: memorize a short shopping list, navigate a familiar route without GPS, calculate a tip mentally, or learn a hobby outside your professional field.

Transcript of What AI Is Doing To Your Brain with Jim Kwik | Mind Pump 2395 from Mind Pump Show. Auto-generated from episode audio; may contain minor errors.
Jim, welcome back. Thank you for hosting me, Friends. Yes, it's been a while. I love every time I On this tour And this is the best studio. ever. Oh, thank you. definitely. There is so much in it. A lot of depth. I am sure. That everything here has Personal meaning. there is, And we are definitely the four of us, As you can see , each one is very different. I mean, that's one of the things Unique in the business Our podcast members, How well we get along Well, we can't.
To be more different from one another From the other. then this. So I have to ask. I asked you just to Open it, and she's on Artificial intelligence. Is this Makes us stupid? I think she has Potential to do it. So you know, the brain Yours is like a muscle. As if it were a painful organ He is a muscle. It is to use it. Or lose it, and I Feels like artificial intelligence Removes all friction And the effort. Like you don't Would you go to the gym?
and asks your friends Lift weights for you. right. True, but a bit like what? That artificial intelligence does. She does the tasks. The heaviness, and we don't Accept the effort. but, You know, when you build Cognitive reserve or Cognitive like fitness, You know, we We need it. This requires Effort, right? Neuroplasticity, you You know, it's the ability of Our brains build the itself again, but it Based solely on challenge. right? You are building muscle. Through renewal and nutrition. Same thing with muscles. Your mental. then, My challenge, the challenge My eldest with intelligence Artificial, and we all You use it, right?
she Amplifies and increases, but She can only...she Amplifies and increases what that people bring to her, Like intelligence Their natural humanity. So, I always think That intelligence Humanity will be important. Much more understanding Artificial. Like, Can anyone use In artificial intelligence, it No longer a competitive advantage Because everyone has access to it. Just as information is not Competitive advantage. For all of us There is access to it. someone Could use some intelligence. artificially to create Nice post on social media Social. Someone else can use this to Create the app Health and fitness The next giant, you.
You know, a project of A billion dollars, but The person is the one who does the The difference. yes. You know, the thing is Mine is, uh, there is the This term called discharge Cognitively, and there, you are You know, for the last time. I was here, we talked about Digital, oh, and I wrote about This is on Limitless in 2020, The four supervillains That you think, uh, digital, Oh, flood, that's overload, right? And that's why it's all That's why it's important to be able to Learn faster, read Faster, everything, complete Gaps, keep up, progress.
Distraction Visually, which only gets worse, right? Every like, share, Comment, cat video, App notification, alert On social networks Pushing us to distraction knowledge. This is why focus It's like attention. your. We live In the age of attention. This is the currency. Number one. Dementia Digital, which is sourcing outside of our brain, like Our memory, For our devices, you You know, our devices Keeping our assignments Our calendars, Our shopping lists, Our phone numbers. Then I turned the horse over. The fourth is deduction. Digitally then, and there it is Actually thinking for us, And that's the big challenge, In my opinion, when I imagine A company that relieves stress and cognitively impaired About her thinking to her Artificial.
I mean, Think about what is happening. For critical thinking Our ability to judge our. This makes us So sensitive. Imagine Civilization or society who can't think for herself . Think about the misinformation. . Think about how we are can be Easily manipulative by the agendas of Other people, you Know, authorities, marketing, Media and everything else, then, Even if you know, It happens, so even if Everyone thinks the same. Well, then everything they Using intelligence Artificial will be derived. It's going to be so General, right? I mean , you see it Now with all the waste of Artificial intelligence that exists outside.
You know, this is Just a lot of noise. you You know, it's like calories. Empty, as you eat, I feel that today we Talking about it in society, Especially Americans, who are Overfed and malnutrition, but what about Mentally? We are fed. Too much of anything Those empty calories From social networks, you You know, a scroll of doom, And there is very little nutrition there. yes. You know, what? Who cares about what you say? , Jim, that's when I think About how we spent our time Outsource, okay, then.
We did this a long time ago. Um, Being sedentary is a choice. Default, being active is Something you need to look for. So, one of the phenomena I wish this was Poor physical health really. yes. I don't think people Understanding brain training Theirs, right? thoughtlessness And memory can cause For mental health problems And in fact, the deterioration of The brain. I think her name We think he, uh, I don't remember my numbers anymore. Phone, but the networks Those nerves are gone. yes. And if you do that Enough times, oh you Starting to get a little...
Well, how is that? Say, you get atrophy. How is it different, Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm We have seen historically When the calculator arrived, it arrived The computer? Even before that, that is, Dated to the spoken word, Let's get back to humans. 300,000 years ago, during Communication with growls, you guys. You know, we started using In words and all that, for a year 300,000 to 3,000 BC Counting, until people Start writing. As if People needed Tell stories, you You know, from memory. As if the whole Odyssey or The Iliad was, was, These are oral traditions.
Yes, absolutely. Through a parable, Everything before the written word . And so, technology always changed the way in which We think. Ummm, When we started writing things, We started to externalize Our memory. Ummm, Printing presses allowed you to Share ideas, you guys. You know better. You know, uh, on a scale. Small, not like today, but Libraries, you know, Calculators. And not that I... A few days ago I was At dinner, uh...bring it. the account and we were 10 People, and if I were... Four people took out the Their phones to Divide by 10.
You know, I know you're thinking This is a joke, but you You see things like...but That's the challenge. It's simple...and there is People who say that Very convenient, certainly, but You don't want to be Paralyzing. Like, Mathematics has a certain value. Even in terms of logic Basic, right? Like, I feel that our company was in a much better condition It would be nice if we had a simple Common sense and basic logic You know, logic. Basic, um, and kind of common sense straight. But um, GPS, if that Their party device Telling you when and where To turn away, we would not You need it, you guys.
You know, before that. I Not even talking about Hunter-gatherers. I Talking about like before GPS. We should have used, Sorry, in intelligence. Your visual spatial. You didn't need to know. Where are you at the time? And in space. But now, you You know, people even Don't know. Like before A few days ago, I was in an Uber. And we went the best way Bad just because he is Follow this thing, And I just had to Let me get off here. but We just changed our thinking.
Ours, so yes, technology . And then with understanding Artificiality is, completely, The Industrial Age, what is it? Did? It made us For more sedentary people because The machines do the The work is for you and me Feels like today, you You know, there's a hidden price. For modern convenience. As if the whole world is adjusted For convenience, you know, Then what happens to the muscles? your? Physical and mental, in which You don't have to try or to pressure or challenge, but You know, the rule. The main thing here is that A challenge comes with a change, right?
You know, with a struggle Power is coming, but we don't have it. This deliberate difficulty, You know, eh? Physical or mental comfort. It feels like it was, Um, you know, from a distance. Historically almost like Slow death or adaptation Slow, but with intelligence It's almost artificial. Feels like it's coming Much faster and that's it Makes me think. that the consequences of this can To be much more Dangerous or eternal or Serious. Agree and the second thing That comes to mind, Jim, He is while you are saying the This is, um, innovations.
Previous ones, um, didn't reduce Our media, you Collaborating with people yes. Like the innovations The current ones. So, innovations Current, one of the disadvantages The biggest ones, in my opinion, is that people see one The other one less. yes. So, I do everything. On the internet, I'm not going. camp. Um, and this is me. Know the data on this. Very good. Um, when you're not Near people, yes. You are not Equally close For human connection. yes. And it was, like, we had On our podcast, um, You know, the manager of Harvard study, research 80 years long, research Length of more than 80 years For happiness and longevity, And they said, "Physical fitness" Very important, very nutritious Important; Oh, what's important?
"It's the connection, too." Um. You know, it wasn't Just a spouse Your romantics. this There was a depth of connection, because Again, as hunter-gatherers, We are social creatures, right? Like a human being, You were around, like a human. Calm, like a friend, son Family, and you just Feeling calm? like Your nervous system, Regulates itself to the person this. I mean, sometimes We are given courage. From someone we care about His faith in us, right? We are social creatures. You know, we also have Mirror neurons in which We are constantly imitating.
The people around us. this The reason this expression, You know, we The average of the five people We spend the most time with them. A long time, you know, In terms of fitness, health, Economy and more, because we Begin to reflect, imitate The words, the actions, The thoughts, the character, The habits, you know, Is anyone practicing, and that Less related to his genetics And more so are his friends Practicing, you know, Eat right, read, Learners, entrepreneurs, whatever. There will be no. You think, And I'm sure I think I know what the answer is, Because that's pretty much what they do, But today, if someone Want to be fit?
Physically, he needs most The cases to schedule training, To go somewhere or To a dedicated facility for this purpose. It must be organized. They need to organize something. That allows me to be fit. Physically, where I train My body, because if I Not coaching my life My daily life, nothing That's not there. It's just not name. yes. Do you think we need to? Do it with force. Our brain, with health Our soul? We really are I must. I mean, I would be happy. We will have our rooms.
These mental skills, right? Like, you know, you These brain chambers, if, if You will. But I mean, Sure, you know, I I think...so there is definitely a connection. Huge between activities Physical for performance Mental, right? we Know all the benefits . I'm sure you've concluded. That's a lot, you know, In terms of training Resistance and what they do For the brain, all the benefits, the BDNF, dopamine, Serotonin, The endorphins. The reason The main thing is that you have a brain. It controls your movement. This is the number one reason why there is We have a brain.
Um, and when the body Yours is moving, your brain is developing. . Therefore, physical activity It is definitely important. Upper. Like, um, I have A family member years ago, eh? , older lady, She broke her hip. And when she was captivated For a wheelchair, thoughts She was followed, you knowing? And she doesn't, unfortunately. Sadly, she passed away some time ago. Shortly afterwards, but Mobility is definitely The key. This is why power The feet Yes, no. This is so Important, especially for health Cognitive and performance .
When you lose mobility, And that's why some Among the top activities Outside of training and the room Fitness will prolong your life. Like a racquet sport, time Reaction, speed of thinking, Um, you know, Strategy, memorization, um Ballroom dancing, right? ? And notice that everyone These activities also Enter your thoughts. to your muscles, but there is Social activities. you Do it with your son/daughter too A couple, which is a huge advantage. So, you know, like there is This term called Cognitive reserve. Like, they could be You two, you know, Elderly and they can To be very close Biologically, you know, Their brain.
Um, but An independent one, you know, And the other one loses his memory. His, you know, they are very Forgetful. They need help. Um, and what? that scientists think this Cognitive reserve is The difference. It's like an account. retirement. It's like you Investing the way you are Building the retirement account This, as we discovered Made economically To be better When we grow up, it Through new learning. It's all about exercise, Mental activity and social activity. Jim, I just uploaded today. Old research, and it spoke Specifically on reserve Cognitive.
This is research. held in 1986 on Over 600 nuns. yes. Okay. And the reason they are They were chosen because they They lived such similar lives. So there weren't many things. that they should have controlled In them necessarily. And what they are Found, there were a few things They found, but they were there Some specific nuns, One woman, I think. Whose sister is Mary, I think. That was her name. She was 101 years old, performance Excellent cognitive. yes. She passed away a short time later. Afterwards.
Because of the research, They all donated their bodies. to science, so they tested the Her brain. She had plaques. Amyloid beta like For someone who suffered Alzheimer's progresses, but The cognitive test Hers did not reflect this. And the way they explained That was what she had. Cognitive reserve Awesome. yes. It gave her the resilience. This cognitive that is possible She must maintain her independence. Even though she had everything The physical symptoms or The physical characteristics of Alzheimer's. And it's pretty wild. Because it's so wild. I mean, because we all have They could be, like, For all of us, cancer cells and all These things in our bodies .
But, you know, if This is expressed in this A bit like, as if I was talking with Max Lugra, and he Talked about how, like, For Alzheimer's, Your genetics claim The gun, but the lifestyle Yours will pull the trigger, right? ? So we all have the These things, you You know, in physiology ours and our bodies, but It's like, a reserve. Cognitively it is huge. The research I have, I have A true copy of it, was on Time magazine cover at the time, And I have a copy of...yes, The study is called "Aging "By grace," and it's so amazing.
But they had discussions, You know, arguments, They had deep conversations. , read a lot, write, and that added years to their lives, But also life for their years, And it's just huge. this Cognitive reserve, right? Be active, you guys. You know, because what is most Important is cognition-if You are rigid in your views. Cognitive, outside From a longevity perspective And only when you're older, Even business, rigid Cognitively, You know, business is... Like Kodak. They are right, They invented the Column technology The Avenue for Digital Photography And they put it away, you guys.
You know, and then they became extinct. Blockbuster video, That is, we can To continue on and on. this Cognitive rigidity. Cognitive flexibility It is your ability to be flexible. Like being able to do mental parkour, To be able to, you know, Be flexible, fast And flexible, you don't break, You bend over. And I think That this is a lost art, you You know, like girls. Cognitive, especially When most people consume Instead of creating. Then The algorithm now is You don't know, I don't. I know, I'm not on the networks.
A lot of socializing, but I don't tend not to see. A lot of people I follow After them, more than anything that people maintain with them link. But the challenge is that What you do with it You see more of him. And then you're in the resonance chamber. This because you only see the The perspective of things that you keep in touch with them, And you never have flexibility. Because you never see, You know, the opinion. The opposite, right? like Even using intelligence Artificial to vote On blind spots, I think it's valuable.
multi. You know, there are people Let them say that intelligence Measured by, you know. The ability to change your mind Based on new data. You know, and to be Able to be flexible like that Because a lot of people don't, because Are they... their ego? Built into this, they spent the So many years of Learning is part of identity. Theirs, and they remain Stiff. And that's the challenge. I I think that in the era I think We live in an era of adaptation. You know, Ultimately, humans, Our bodies adapt, right?
Stressors, right? there is, You know, there's an adaptation. For heat, right? adaptation For temperature. As if it were Built into nature. Like you Presenter, you are talking about My little children, there are We have a 3 and a half year old child. And a one and a half year old girl. but You expose them to dirt. and bacteria, then a system Their immunity is stronger. . So I'm talking about something. called anti-fragility Cognitively, where am I Think cognitive resilience It's like going back to the situation.
Where you, under pressure, return To set a default. Anti-fragility Cognitive for me She jumps forward. this Like you build muscle. this Adapting and then what was difficult becomes easy and then you assume That is getting more and more difficult. But I don't think so. that people challenge the themselves mentally because that technology does A lot of the lifting for us. Give me some examples. For exercises or things Can someone do something to Improve fragility His cognitive or To become at least Fragile. Yes, so I think no.
Intentional comfort is everything So important in a world that is focused For comfort that is focused on comfort. Like you mentioned DoorDash And Uber. Like if I need to Walk 10 blocks away to To make an arrangement at the bank or Something like that and I'll call. Lift and this is technology Like artificial intelligence. this Makes it very comfortable But then I can't. Enter. right? elevator, If the apartment or, you know, Your office is located On the eighth floor, elevator It is an early form of.
this A form of technology, But then you don't go up. On the stairs, right? So, I I feel like I'm not thinking. Artificial intelligence, And especially because she Does most of the lifting For most people, always It was my rule, even When I use my intelligence Artificial, is to build Before I borrow. I Want to build the My intelligence Before I borrow, uh, You know, you understand. Artificial. But, things certain that you can to do to increase the Anti-fragility Your cognitive and Cognitive flexibility Yours, let's talk about Flexibility is learning something.
Like learning something outside For your field, this is valuable. multi. Like hobbies. you Pay attention to some people High achievers Most of all, they have areas Other designated interests Because it allows them to be More creative and solve problems and build and innovate because They have more References and observations Speaking differently. I noticed That when I owned a studio For training and at some point Towards the end I had High-performing customers Really high and it was I'm interested because these There were people who had Very demanding jobs Like this, you know, surgeon.
Brain or heart surgeon. And they too Be a classical pianist, or I had one boyfriend, yes, I had one guy who was Anesthetize and he is like he He was... he was trained as a bartender. Just so he can learn How to create works like Hobbies. I am like that, Where do you find the time to do it? That, but it's probably part of it. giant. I mean, it's like everything, Like D-V-C, like He was a scientist and he was Amen, he knew how to juggle, yes He has all the interests.
These others. And I Feels like to be flexible You need perspective, You know? And you need To be able to distinguish; You need to be less One-dimensional. There is a research book. Great called range. you Know about the Holistic, its power of the holisticist. You can Specialize in your career In your studies, um, To become an artist at it, but Still being a totalist and basic knowledge of many things Things allow you to be More complete. Um, so As if so, or even if Do you intend to use In artificial intelligence, you You know, you'll make an argument.
What you offer, you You know, in terms of Your beliefs. you You know, like creating An incredibly strong argument against To challenge ourselves, But I feel that you are You know, it's important to have... What...what's the expression? It's like Strong opinions, loose, right? Change. Because who Want to change. I I doubt anyone listening. Here are exactly the same ones Beliefs and thoughts, you You know, like they had 10 years ago. I hope That they are...right? Otherwise, where? Growth, right? I Hope we have some Beliefs, you know, That we would be ashamed Even talking about them, you You know, otherwise if we become Exactly the same.
this Just like someone says "Oh, I have 30 years." Fitness experience or Health or sales." And you're actually having a conversation. , and because you have distinctions In these areas, as if You only have one year of An attempt they repeated 30 times, no growth. they Just send it by mail. Every time because the brain Yours, you know that, It is 2% of your body mass, But it consumes energy. He uses 20% From energy and vitality. You know, I work with Chess players and they can Burn over 6,000 to 6,7000 calories just Sitting like this all day, You know, because your brain User and that's why People don't think that This, this, this, activity High energy, you You know, for people.
Then If artificial intelligence Going to do it. For you, you know. Then The second crisis besides the discharge Cognitively, you know, It's cognitive surrender, You know, where we don't Use more muscles Oh, I think it is. Identity change, you know, like what's happening like A lever economy in which The weights from both ends. It's like she understood. The artificial intelligence Artificial maybe not Affects so many Leadership on this side or, You know, things. Which require more conditioning Physical air, therapist Massage, hair stylist, right? But the weight is here, The thin part, it really works To be hurt.
Programmers, right? Writers, designers Visuals, designers Graphic, like here. i.e I just saw what it was. Was? Radiologist. Like, Artificial intelligence could To identify it better, A thousand times better than a seed Human. So, what's going on? You spend years of everything The studies, and you know, 10-20 years into your career In doing this thing And suddenly artificial intelligence Can you do it quickly? More, more accurate and better More, then there's an identity crisis. . It's like I was In the Super Bowl. I do Things with NFL alumni, And what happens when someone Trained, or or or veterans , right?
What happens when you Focused on this and you have community, group, or in the military, right? And then suddenly you Moving on to something else. yes, And then it's going to be A big challenge with intelligence Artificial because it matters The way we are workers, the way in which We live, and how are you? We see ourselves . I mean, where is what where? Your goal? So much People identify themselves As their career. Mmm. Yes, two things that come up. In my head. First, when you Talking about ways to improve Your cognition or To be anti-fragile, I I think one way The best to do This is to surround yourself.
people and talk to them, Especially people who have Different opinions or people We enjoy discussing without To be offended. I think it is Great because you will encounter automatically in things you Can't deal with them Right away or you're not watching. And this will help you strengthen That muscle in you. So this is First and foremost, the question I have something to say about you. For artificial intelligence, you said that you use. I Curious to know how you are? Uses artificial intelligence. Like what do you use?
in artificial intelligence in a way Specific in ways that are not Violating force Your cognitive? At the same time Mode That I, as a memory coach, Remembers names, facts, Numbers and all that stuff These, right? I would do This is even when I started And this is my 53rd year, you. You know, I'm almost 35 years old, You know, as someone who does concentration exercises or Memory exercises. for example , yeah, you know, people Forgetting what they call, They forget which room. At the hotel, the room number.
As if I were practicing By memorizing a license plate While I'm driving, or Practicing memorizing a list Shopping even though I could, You know, write it down. easily. You know, I was Memorizing, you know, something. Just like the sentence "the seed", Whatever. So returns These count, right? Just like, you know, When you steal rehearsals, you You know, during the day you Makes coffee and you do How many squats and you arouses this tension, right? You are stealing. These rehearsals. The same thing With the mental rehearsals The goddess.
I was always looking for Opportunities to hone My memory is that no I wanted him to just bleed, right? Especially because You know, my grandmother. Died of Alzheimer's When I was seven years old, because Brain injury and disabilities learning. With wisdom Artificial, I created for you Acronym because I am I like acronyms because Someone is listening or driving. And he practices and can't write That. So before I Going to artificial intelligence, I will do things. Certain. And I say that you build Your intelligence Before you ask, understand.
Artificial. So the B represents Brainstorming. So before That I even go to ChatGPT, Claude, I mean what? Whatever it is, I will do it. My own brainstorming before Yes, right? I will do some. Mental warm-up around this. the -U stands for understand and that is Exactly what I mean. I think people Perform optimization of many of the questions We ask for understanding. Artificial with instructions These, right? we involved, but before We did it, we put the Our brain with the questions We ask all the time , right?
Does that make sense? How do I learn this? You know, how do I get This goal, whatever it is There will be no. And I feel that many times we Question optimization The wrong one. right? As if This is very different from how I get it, you know, How do I get it, you know? , any amount of followers or whatever That it will not be, contrary to To the book "From Zero to One" by Peter Thiel. How do I get it? My 10-year goal In the next six months?
It forces you to ask New question. You must, You can't work hard. More, right? There is a book. Great that 10X is easier than 2X Which basically means that 2X you Can, you can try. On the way to 2 X, right? In terms of money or whatever Do it. But 10X you are not Can try like that. then You force yourself to think. Different about that, right? To To get there. So understand It really means understanding what The problem and define the The problem. Einstein and I Don't know how people Attributing it to Einstein, and attributed If only he had an hour To solve a problem, he was Spends 50 minutes understanding the real problem, Define the problem The real one, right?
then I would say understanding. then I would think about the problem. By myself, and before I Asking for her, I would simply Clarifies what it is. The "I" In construction, it is to imagine. And imagine, you know, Einstein said again, Imagination is stronger than knowledge. Here I would reach three. Answers to this question before I'm going to Bina. artificial to simply give Her for myself, right? Mmmmm , so, like, and I, was Asking, I would do it too Thought experiments. like A question I ask you Myself all the time, let's say I am facing a problem.
Or something like that, and I I would say, how can a boy 5 would look at the problem this? How were they? Solve it? Because it is This is often the case. The elusive and the obvious, right? Or how does someone say 10 Smarter than me, eh, You know, he would look About this problem? Or a person Private, like a mentor in my life, I would think about how they were. Looking at this problem ? Ummm, so I feel That is very useful. In terms of similarity of solutions To your problem.
Then the L In construction, it is to leverage intelligence Artificial. And you know, So you can go. Artificial intelligence but I'm not giving it, I Personally I don't go there. For answers. I Use it as a tool. more enhanced in which it Like a creative partner. I I will use this more to To say, like taking a test Stress, like taking a test Pressure, my idea. To To point out the points The blindness or biases The cognitive here or To argue against what I'm brainstorming. Or think about it because I I feel like it's because I I think a lot of wisdom Artificial is simply soothing.
you. This can cause For the most foolish person to feel Smart because it's just like, What a great idea. Like, and it's simple, but It's not, and so much Incorrect information how This intelligence Aggregated via Reddit, I mean, I was just... Says to leverage intelligence Artificial, you know. After you do that. Then the D and the construction is then You decide that I just I want to remind everyone Who listens because I'm sure Everyone uses intelligence. Artificial. wisdom Artificial intelligence can calculate and process information faster Than a person could ever do.
That's simply a fact. Okay, I don't even Going to argue about it. But in the end, my son Human, intelligence Their humanity, they need Decide what the meaning of This information, what is it? Important, right? What to do With this information? because also Artificial intelligence has no No responsibility. She has no Interested in what she gives You, unlike humans where, you know, We decide something. Then we are responsible. For this result. So, I Feels like, and so does Bina Artificially, they use For treatment, they use In training and I am completely I understand that.
And we have the It's in our plans; We trained you. You know, in memory Our quick read, As if we had taken down everything, You know, all of them. The things I created. Um, You know, but I think That one of the challenges is Artificial intelligence does not have A way to sleep. She can Feign empathy. She can pretend. Compassion, but she doesn't know. How to comfort a grieving child. she I don't know what it means to ask. forgiveness. She doesn't know what It is to experience heartbreak or Something else like that.
She is not She had a human experience. So she can put Face, but it's synthetic, right? So I just I feel like my worldview is The optimistic one. This is a point My optimistic outlook, And it's really strange because on the way Here is the person next to me on the plane. Watch this movie "Wall-E". yes. yes. And that Happens all the time. yes. And the movie This was so sad. Yes, he was. He was Incredibly sad. And no...I didn't have any. Headphones, but whatever I remember seeing that, because I haven't seen him since.
He just left. This future, right? Oh, As if everyone is suffering From morbid obesity. they Sitting in drug bags who just go everywhere . We need to move there. yes. And then the scene I saw It was like one One of these guys fell From his backpack. you You know, and then they were Need five robots To lift them up because he He wasn't even able to Go back there. And then right in front The guys and everyone there listened. Screaming, you know, and then A big sip of soda Or whatever it is there.
And that's the scary thing... yes. this The scary future. The concept My optimism is Because everything is driven by Silver hands, I would say. That in the workplace, the perception My optimism is that if We can compete. In processes like intelligence artificial, so it will force us to be more Human. I think I think one of the conversations The most interesting thing there is, you You know, today is me. I think we are alive. In this story, how Remaining deeply human? What does it mean to be Human in a world of intelligence Artificial, right?
Era Artificial intelligence Artificial. And I feel That will force us To get better at things that make us For humans, because I Totally in favor of Shabina Artificial will turn things around For automatic, like things Less missional than I am Want, I don't want To mess with them, like a box My inbox, My diary, all sorts Things like that. But, you You know, only if it turns out Energy and focus to do Other things, right? this As we do Our annual event The community has been here for 19 years, and Our Limitless Live, and before We had Rod for years.
Roddenberry, who is the son of Gene Roddenberry, who created " "Star Trek," right? I saw him there. And I joined him in the conversation. Next to the brother, because his father had A vision for the future, with Technology, right? was A tricorder that can diagnose Any health challenge, be it Replicators who can To produce food. No diseases, There is absolute abundance because it is Can produce everything. So money He just said, "You don't have to." "Money." So what do they do? They're out there, investigating. they Doing things on a level Higher, you You know, with the energy, Their time and attention.
So what I hope To be relevant in the world of artificial intelligence, May they be rewarded instead The work, it will force us to be more Human. And this is my main Boxes that I put in This is for this book. So H is H This is a heart. I really want to Focus on the emotional dose, Empathy, storytelling Oh, compassion, all that becomes Make us more human, EQ in many ways is important More than IQ, right? The U It's understanding, to ask again, You know, like why, right?
Understanding, oh curiosity, You know, understanding, you Know, like understanding Real deep. I Feels like this is a feature Human. Um, I think. That the M is a meaning, like purpose. Like regaining identity. I think people should really be Thin, purposeful, especially Because of a purpose, that they will have Some kind of purpose, I don't Just saying the purpose of life, that's it Helps you get through adversity. Oh, yes. right? It helps you get through. Difficulties. This helps you. Going through a difficult time, with A real reason.
Like, You know, like, you You know, who trusts you? Will you come today? or customers Or your children or what? That it won't be. So I I think people really They will have to focus on what That turns them on, you know, and gives them motivation And fire. The A in humans is adaptation. I feel That people are going to win, The competitive advantage is The only constant. no one Know what the future will look like In 10, 20 years. They are simply Don't know. But change.
There will definitely be a change. then, Our ability to adapt Like humans, like children I am a good person. I think it's a superpower. our. Our ability Learn things, forget Things that are no longer true or updated, and also To relearn things. To be flexible in terms of Cognitively, you know, on the market, but also flexible with Our body and mind. Then the -N in human I use In the word nexus to match For the initials but that's All social skills: Leadership, Sales, Influence, training, you You know, parenting, all These things, the aspect The social, because it is not only The neural networks Yours, this, this, this are the networks Your socials, right?
So, I feel that if Let's start leaning on this. and develop our judgment, Our curiosity, you Our creativity and Critical thinking Ours, I feel that then We can herald a revolution. Artificial intelligence or Evolution, you know, A new renaissance like that of man Where it forces us to be able to do More things: the science And the art and the art of all this. I agree with the concept. This optimist, um Although I believe, oh Because I think it's nature. The person who will go through a lot of pain previous.
Because I think To your point that if you understand Artificial will go towards We think that this is We will have and will have a future. In the style of "Journey Between" Stars "where things are" can be done For us. There is money to be made At least it matters. each Can print in 3D what he wants or To get what he wants Or go wherever he wants. This will force us to look for purpose. But whatever comes First, it's high depression. More, high suicide More because they will think that needs more From the things they give Solve it.
They will find out That it is an empty hole and a pit. Because technology is simple Transforms our lives So easy. As if it were Not like we have Controlled temperature, light Controlled. That is, everything. That easy. You can order App whenever you are right. You never You need to see another person. So I think it has Big price, you know, Because the thing is that when We are looking at First principles like In nature, like you can't Buy a fit body. you You have to earn it, right?
Every day. You are not Can buy a system Great relationship, right? you Can't buy the The things that really matter In your life. You know, It takes effort. So, between If this is your body, the mind Yours, or your business, what That it won't be, you know, We can't be Worried about the results that We received from work that We did. You know, like So many people who do the masturbation This mentality. they Love to learn On the podcast or listen, And I call on people because I am a coach.
But they listening, but they We hear the same thing, But they don't do that. Nothing and that's the challenge. And from a memory perspective , I will make it very clear very. There is the curve. This forgetfulness. You are studying. Something, and two days later Then 80% of it disappeared. you Hear this on the podcast, You read it in the book, Are you going to a conference or anything? Another fitness event, whatever it is It won't be, coach, it's gone. And one of the reasons why this is Gone is that you are not Using it.
And consciousness Trim and delete, because everything Whatever you focus on, that you do, everything that you Saying, whatever you think, Whatever you act like, then You tell the system Your nerves are what matter. Let's keep it that way, shall we? ? But if you don't Something with this information, then? It will simply remove it, because You'll only make things worse. That are important to you. You know what a good trick is? With that, you know, when you Learning something, talking about it. yes. Just talk about it.
teach him. Feel it. teach Yourself. Feel it. I just, I, I, I have the My coaches today that I Sitting with them and I coach. And teaches. And one of the things I, I'm talking about them: And as a young coach, when I knew Very little and I learned something, I immediately turned around and taught That to the next person I saw. And I definitely fumbled with it, And that doesn't sound good. Especially, but this time The second, the third, Fourth, it became mine. And it's like I'm thinking that many people think That mental masturbation Comes from fear.
Fear of how Let our friends judge us. Fear that I am not Will I do it right or Will I say it right or not? I will do it right. And I People who can overcome on it and open it or Accept that I'm going to suck. plunder. I'm going to grope. this. I don't have a picture. what Whatever it is, overcome it. This and teaching this, saying this, and repeat it if It becomes a part of you, you. knowing. Yes, that's Richard Feynman. You know, people.
Attributed to Feynman, you You know, the fact or the The explanation effect. When you Learning this, you learn. That and when you teach the This, you learn, you learn. That twice. Like, If everyone could Listen to this episode, but This time when you listen, Think about how you would give. TEDx talk next week on this. You would focus on the form Completely different, right? You were Responsible for this information because This is active learning. you Know that learning is not A spectator sport, in any case A method no different from lifting Weights or anything else valuable.
But yes, When we teach something We study it well. more. So, you know, Even with children, right? You can ask the children It's up to you to explain to them what they are. Studying, you know, and then It also shows you the The gaps in your knowledge. also I feel that when you Teach it, you start. Become more of your own identity In terms of "Okay, I Know that. I know That. I am becoming an expert. In this "." And I really think That the sequence is what you learn This, you teach this, And you learn it, you Live it, and you teach the this.
Because I have a rule for everything. Time I spend studying Something, you know, I don't Do you know where I got that from? That, but it was simple. Makes sense to me. On all Time I spend reading Something or listening For the podcast, whatever it is Yes, I want to dedicate An hour is worth it in this application. right? Because I feel that people schedule the their training, but they The application is not scheduled. or their application. like Someone is going to read a book. Great on that, I mean.
I really do, there is a book. that can solve the problem of anyone who wrote Somewhere he spent years , you know, in passing on Mistakes and research and experience, And you don't have to waste your The thousands of dollars and the time And everything to do it. So I think reading She is great. And reading is For you, what is the activity? Physical is for your body. Great neurological training, You know, cognitive, To yourself. But someone can Read a book and don't apply it. him.
His life is not various. "From someone" Illiterate who didn't know Read the book from the start. So, you know , that's the challenge. I feel You're right, people. Getting that dopamine From learning something new, but They don't implement it. And I really think how I define Intelligence in the book The new one is this and that. Functional for me. this Not IQ. It's so outdated. This is not a standard test. What you do at the age of eight And that is your potential. At the age of 88.
That's not even Makes sense, right? because of Neuroplasticity and ability Our brains grow. For me, intelligence, People say that it is Pattern recognition, this The ability to be flexible In thought. I feel which, functionally, Someone is intelligent. If he is intelligent, Its use In intelligence he is Using your brain and direction Your consciousness to create The life you want. then , using your brain, which is The hardware, your consciousness, Direct it, the software, right? To create the The life you want, I mean, can anyone know?
It's all about fitness, but if they Not fit, how many are they? Intelligent? right? Can anyone know everything? Read every study and every book About wealth and investments and all Whatever it is, but if Their bank account is not Reflecting this, how much This person is intelligent, right? So I feel That the life we live is The lessons we Teaching. So for me, You know, and we Living in this kind of Expert economics where I Feel like you're learning something. Then you have to live. Him, right?
You need Practice what you Advertiser. Um and then and then you Get and then you teach the That's it too. So because then I Can roll out of bed As you can too And you can talk about It's because you live it. right? Because you mean What you say and you Appears differently with Compatibility level because I Nowadays it feels like people, Their nonsense meter is real. sophisticated. As if you Can identify things Artificial intelligence, right? And I had Someone on my podcast. I...I usually Always posting plans, right?
We didn't do it. Much like you, but we did, We did over 500 episodes. Okay. Um, I had someone. in the program and recommended to me It's because, you know, The team showed all of these, They have a great Instagram. I won't say who it is, But they have posts. Great on Instagram and... Wow, that's why I said Things like "die". I told myself, I was Happy to have a conversation about this, Make them...the man Just stupid. No, no, I ...I don't...I don't want to ...it's not...it's not Judgmental, but clear Artificial intelligence or Someone else wrote the These things are for them because I asked these questions, And that was simple.
Such an experience in the past. And I can't understand, But this is surrender. Cognitive. Like Shabina Artificial writes books of people, their posts And everything else. So they're not...that's it. Like the MIT study that a lot People talked about him. MIT Do research with students. theirs and they made them Write essays and they Write...them in groups A. , B and C, and Group A Used ChatGPT to Write the essays Their, Group B used on Google, and group C did not Used none of them. Then they saw that they had scanned the Their brains to see Which one was it, you?
You know, the most involved Cognitively, And clearly J was the best Mixed in terms of Cognitively because no They had help, right? From technology. Um, And Group A simply does not Was she involved at all? That's right, because they weren't. We have to earn it. Just like if they were, If you were to look at The muscle strength of People lifting weights Or something like that, they were Lifting weights. but When they checked them on Their understanding and memory In this topic, Group A She barely remembered any of it.
Because they didn't need to Earn it, right? and neuroplasticity, again, It is the whole basis of the word This, neuroplasticity is A challenge is worth a change. And my challenge is that everyone Want comfort and they want comfort. And life is hard. For two reasons. Or are you Leaving the comfort zone Yours, you start the business. This one, you start the This relationship, You work...outside, you You know, you learn, you become To the expert, or life Very difficult if you stay. In your comfort zone. you I know, because you stay there.
also. yes. I think I think That artificial intelligence can To be one of two things. Or it could be Incredibly stimulating. Um, she can strengthen the Cognitive function your. She can help. You better be smart, or She can go. In the other direction and simply Do things for you. I mean, I used my intelligence. Artificial. One of the things That I did with Bina It is artificial, because it is Amazing synthesis of information. This is the best we have ever seen. time. That's what it is.
And ever We have never had in history, Oh, something that was capable of Synthesize comments, reviews and forums, and group it and connect it to give me Consensus. never Had it before. Were We have studies. so what that I did to learn Certain things are Now I took studies, Then I took reviews of people. Now, there is you. You know, millions of them, Hundreds of millions of them Online. And more studies. And I took anecdotes, a lot. From which, studies, I compiled them, I found the common ground, Artificial intelligence series them, and I come to some Conclusions and ideas Crazy, uh, around Certain things, and that Very stimulating.
yes. Because I'm leading this, I Going through it, and I" Okay, uh, are these The common, oh, much stuff? Find the two The things that seem prominent. "Then I will find the This point. Oh, and that's good in a way. Extraordinary. It's in the queue...you use In this, as you said, like Partner vs. Answer, I think most people It is used almost like Sophisticated Google search, right? They just give I have it, you know, Promoting it like this, Compared to you, you are attractive. Ideas and theories, And together you formulate an argument With this as a partner vs.
Tell me which is better, you? You know, that's how most people are... Be specific with yourself because I enjoyed this a while ago. What, I sent a message. To these guys for this. then, I went in there, and I am very Been captivated for a long time. I was really fascinated by the science of Cannabinoids and terpenes. This is a personal story. I had A family member with cancer, So I delved into how it is Can help her. So, there was I have some basic knowledge.
then, I said, "What are you showing?" The different cannabinoids In studies they can to help, to know, to cause To produce. "So, I got the This list. what about The different terpenes? And I got some ideas. around. And then I asked, uh, What do the reviews say about The best cannabis strains Best for pain relief? Give me the five varieties. The leaders. I received the The top five varieties. Then I asked, what do you understand? The top five varieties Oh my, what similarities! You see in combinations of Cannabinoids and terpenes?
And they gave me an answer. I said, understand the lines These similarities, which ones? Common in all varieties Which of them are visible? Most prominent? And what? I finally got it. There was a combination Cannabinoids of Terpenes that are probably really good For pain. It was a real process. It's fun to stop by and ask. These questions. And I I think you can do it. It's with artificial intelligence. You found the podcast. Health, fitness And the most downloaded entertainment A lot in history. This is Mind Pump.
In today's episode, Jim Quick returns to the podcast, Learning and memory expert And the brain. He wrote a new book. , Limitless Daily. By the way, you can find it On Instagram at Jim Kwik, it's KW I K. By the way, with the new book His, if you invite him. In advance at limitlessdaily.com, they will bring in over $470 of Free bonus gifts. all What you need to do He ordered it in advance, And it's available wherever you are. Books are sold at 8 In September.
But they invited him in advance. This chapter is presented Brought to you by the sponsor Our Element. So, this is it. Electrolyte powder that you add to the water your. It has no sugar. she Not artificially flavored either. It is naturally flavored, and it Incredibly delicious. now, Here is the difference between Element Compared to powders Other electrolytes. there is Including 1,000 mg of sodium per serving. Why do you need so much? A lot of sodium? Because if you Need electrolytes, This is what you need most.
Potassium and magnesium important, but it's the sodium Prevents cramps And headaches. So, that gives You have these suctions. This is what helps you do Better at training your. This is especially important. For people on poor diets Carbohydrates, people who are fasting, People who eat diets Whole food based. if Do you sweat a lot or Working in the sun, in the sun The hot one, extra Electrolytes can Make a huge difference.

And we also have "Buy One Get One" Sale Free "with 10 programs" Top training On maps. Buy one get one Free that will end soon. Go to mapsbogo.com. here We are starting. yes. And I think the difference is What makes the difference is Human intelligence Yours compared to someone else's Another who doesn't have The uniqueness or the The matter or the discipline or the experience of life And the references that exist You because you are fulfilling Interact with her In a different way. And that's what I mean about People who rely on Human intelligence Theirs as more important Artificial intelligence because Artificial intelligence can To increase and magnify.
As if , if someone is confused and lacking Ability, it would be unclear , that would increase it, right? It will make you a little More than that compared to someone He is talented, obviously. Concise, you know, Has character, so it is also Will increase it. Well, I'll share a story. Reverse of use which I have shared here before With you, I have a family member. who took hormone therapy Alternatives, and the way in which He caused it...uh...you. Do you know, is treatment Hormone replacement therapy Can be dangerous For me?
So, of course, what Artificial intelligence does? She is looking for everything. The probabilities are like this. Can be dangerous. then, He sent me this thing. , he's like, I have to Stop it. This is terrible. For me. And I'm like, this is Such a stupid way To arouse it. And you can Turn it around and say Literally the opposite, How is this positive for me? And that will give you a list. then, There are people who come to conclusions that they guide That's so wrong. intelligently, then they We get this answer.
As truth. And it's like, wow, You need to understand how To guide it in a way True if you want it to be. Will give you less bias, but It gives you a bias. based on the way in which You are guiding it. then, It will be interesting to see how This, you know, separates How many people will you be among? Intelligence to access To it the way Sal approached it. And how many people just They will use it to put you to sleep. them. That's because it's kind of Your field and you write And learns and is passionate about everything The things that focus In cognition.
And you are a coach People, do you see? Greater demand for some From the things you teach or Reduced demand? So, I think that way This transfer may Change a little. As there is We have the great academy. Best for accelerated learning In the world. We have Students in every country. Speed reading, improvement Memory, thinking Critical, creative, Brain optimization, All of these things, right? Um, I feel That courses are probably going down. I imagine the field All in terms of learning online, when people can Access artificial intelligence And say, "Oh, how are you, Jim?" Quick could memorize That, you know, stuff.
Like studies, etc.? "And this is magnificent. I think there is some bigger than our community, or Anyone who has built a brand, which is Special because you have earned their trust, right? You have equality. In relationships. I think, I I think, yes, because again, Like, it has all of that... Well, I, I am much Writers' communities, and there are This whole thing with Intelligence-based writing Artificial, you know, Do it. But some From the readers simply not Want to read anything? Artificial intelligence based, And publishers are taking A position on the subject that the person This, artificial intelligence This one, didn't go through the experience, You know, the experience.
The authenticity and transparency of What, you know, what are they about? Talking. If this is a piece, if This is writing about intelligence. Artificial, that's something. then, I feel that if you built A brand that is out there, And most businesses have a brand. Or a spokesman as his spokesman, um , so this relationship It is a great asset because people Want it. During periods of confusion, people turn For people who have earned their trust Over and over again, consistently. right? You have chapters, You know, five per week on such a basis, And you show up for People, and it benefits Trust, right?
And you don't... So like, just like That if you are in a relationship And you always promise, or Someone promises they will do it. Something at work or something like this, and then they do the This, they break the trust. This every time, how many of you Put in their word? right? And this is usually a bad brand. promise. But think about How do we break the Our trust, right? We say that we are We're going to do something. I think the meta-leg Number one, and I'm talking about It's in the book, um, it's a book.
Daily, like, uh, you guys. You know, like Stoicism. Daily. Um, and like all A daily book that you can To withdraw from Christianity or Judaism or Buddhism or Stoicism, it appeals to Science. So it's appealing. The science of consciousness, which is Psychology, or science The brain, which is neuroscience. So this is a completely new idea. Who gives them instructions. then, It's like the instructions you Let's give it to Bina Artificial, and you talk About family members who may be Not the most empowering guideline Giving them a biased answer .
We do it. To ourselves all the time. that Think about the instructions, The questions we ask Our intelligence Instead of intelligence The artificial, the natural our. Why do I never Can't lose weight? right? Okay, great. here All the reasons, just like In artificial intelligence. or, You know, why don't I? Deserving of love or whatever it is There will be no or even The questions we ask They are not the best kind of Questions. Now, we Talking about, you know, So everything here has a question. That inspires people.
Then an exercise to build the This mental muscle, you You know, if you want. but I would say, um, In terms of, um, few The future of this work, right? Certain things They will never change because The hardware in the brain will not change. Or it hasn't changed in -300,000 years. We have less Or more the same brain As it was with people, you You know, before all the time this. So, I think, you You know, you know, Physical activity and nutrition and sleep and relationships, You know, everyone always Very important.
I was Says it is also very important Nowadays take a break, I mean, um, whether it's Meditation or time in nature, Because for me, a trip with The dogs are my break, Like a little break for the brain, Because the brain is not designed to work 24/7, right? He needs you. These little disconnections- You need to log out to Reconnect. that For me, it's interesting, if Suspend a camera or computer or a TV screen or Machine, it stops working. I discovered, working with Clients and myself, simply From personal experience, when We, humans, Take a moment to stop, We are starting to work.
We start on the road. variance. We are starting Recalibrate. we Starting to recover. We begin to imagine Things are changing, right? then, But people no longer Scheduling the white space This is thinking. And people already Can't get bored, right? They need to take Their phone. right. They, they, even in the shower, No matter what, they always They need to have a screen. On or phone, or they Can't even sit down In line to do it, Or, you know, At dinner tables, You know, I see. Couples like, you know, A bone on the phone, whatever.
There will be. And I feel Like, you know, We are talking about children. And again, we have a 3 year old. And a one-year-old child. Like, I don't want to, I don't Want them to be residential Especially all the time, Especially since they don't grow. What we grew up on And watch it, right? I Trying to cancel, you know, Reduce agree and have Empathy for that too, right? Like, why parents, You know, users Sometimes on screens to To be able, you You know, for kids. Jim, we're in the same age group.
Similar, so I don't know. If you have already experienced this because I also have children, and I have Two little ones. I have a child. 5 year old and 3 year old. Yes. Oh, We named Mr. Rogers, yes, okay? It's slow in a way. Painful compared to the type The things children watch Among them today. yes. This...this is crazy. If you expect In this now, in fact, There was a scene in Mr. Rogers. where he had a watch on The screen and he said, "Come on." Let's see how long a minute is.
" And the screen just focused On a watch with a second hand Coming down and you should just Watch it for a moment. This is so amazing. It will never happen today. . I think an adult can Do it. not. not. then This is what we broadcast. For our children because I put Pay attention to the difference in behavior. Theirs when they watch In "finished". So we have a list of Programs that we Confirm exactly why You say. So first we also talked about School and how it is structured This one has changed a bit, like a house.
Book a private and experience the That, and they also came back a little. More analog. They returned. More for actual reading then , such as, implementation and construction One actual projects For the second, and I feel that this is To some extent the answer In terms of the practice of this and the ability to receive the knowledge and human experience Oh, and then we can get there. For digital things, And you know, intelligence. Artificial comes in later. . Is it really? You see Is there a big need for this?
I think it's a hybrid, You know, kind of learning. Complete self, um, in place Taking the child into account All of it. So, not just a brain Left, right brain, conscious, Subconscious, but also sleep Their, their diet and everything Another thing that affects this. So, it's not...everyone, you. You know, in society sometimes. Want the pill? The magical one. like... The only thing... Yes, everyone, right? And then I It just feels like there is no pill. , but there is a process, you You know, for that.
Um, For children, I am very Interested. I had Opportunity to meet many Founders of schools Various, to tour and advise. Um, I mean, they use In our strategies in some From the education systems The leaders in the south Korea and Finland...um, Um, for accelerated learning, meta -Learning, learning how To learn, the things we Teaching, right? learning Faster. I was Says um, devices are A challenge, right? I am not I would like to be a teacher. . It will be very difficult. My mother Oh, she left a while ago.
Years in the education system New York Public. She started as a teacher. For special education in school Public to help me With my learning disabilities As a result of brain injury As a child. Oh, teachers. Can be from the people The most caring, talented And merciful, but I Can't even imagine, You know, pull the Children's attention Growing up. Our generation is growing up. About video games, right? yes. And that's one thing, but about Agree, and again, Our children are watching In things from time to time.
we Yes, they try to set boundaries. And boundaries when possible. but I love, there is certainly that the content of what they are Watching it is very important, Like you said. As in today's things, Like if you're surfing On YouTube, things that go viral that To them, you know, Billions of views, that's it Noisy, it's fast. yes, The flickering, the sounds, The lighting, everything is so stimulating. . yes. I mean, you saw the These videos Even on YouTube for a reason this. YouTube is built on Addiction algorithm.
yes. then The last thing I want That my 7-year-old child Will watch something that is programmed Feed him something. addictive. yes. So like, the platform She herself is simply not Ideal platform For ideas These, and I don't know if They are correct, if they are True, but all Founders of companies These technologies do not Give to their children To be on screens. not. yes. And just take a break from the screens for two weeks, Brain scans before and after , like some of these, as if Their brains are going backwards, You know, 10 years.
As a workout. this yes. And it's simple, but sit down In boredom there is a challenge. Do you see the children? The goddess on the internet, you Takes the device and they Just lose the Their sanity. yes. It's like taking crack. Like, it's just kind of like that. of addiction. And that's a challenge. So, you know, I I see that schools are reducing Screen time or repeat For analog books. I Not reading, you know, Especially on screens. When I travel it's hard. More because you know, I don't want to carry.
I have all the books with me. These, but I always I like to read a physical book. There's something about a physical book. I I will say You know the difference. Read on your phone before Sleep and see how fast You fall asleep and then you read. A real book and you'll see how much You fall asleep quickly. And I also read literature. Fictional at night. that Sometimes, if I read Something too stimulating, like on Science or business, whatever it is. It won't happen, I'm going into the brain.
My management and leaving I have all these ideas. But it has been proven that reading literature Fiction reduces tension to 60%. I also have a good sleep. more. Interesting. And also because I used to read the All nonfiction books, right? I mean, I want to know, As if yes, but in reading Literature that I like, there is Upvote this, high EQ More, intelligence like Narration, story Stories, empathy, Creativity, attitudes Perception, ability, you You know, jump from a point Other people's view. all These things that are so Important and soothing, right?
? As opposed to something that might A little more technical. You know what I started? Do, Jim, just Recently my wife started That and then she encouraged Me to do it. there is A device called a brick. I I don't know if you know the This, but it's like a square plastic, and you bring the Your phone to him, and you Can choose which one Apps you want Turn it off or whatever. It will be, and you close the Your phone. Leave it. In a place that is hard to reach .
So I'll leave it at that. down. So, all apps My social media, My messages, all of them Accessible, uh, from that point And so on. The only way To turn it off is to go back. To this physical brick and turn it on again. And that's the key to habits, right? Isn't that control? In your area? yes. right? Do you want to become The things...one The principles of design Habits is what you want Turn things around Which are better for you, easier. And you want to make the The things that are not good for you Hard or difficult, right?
And that's the thing. Like, Hold your phone. Next to the bed on the dresser Tonight is a challenge. Like, I talked to one. Our students before A few days, and she told How does it scroll? At night, and you know, during ...and we looked at it, this It was about two and a half hours, right? People don't understand. How long does it take like this? Can you do it without End, right? And apart from problems Sleep with blue light Think, you know, you don't Produces melatonin because My nervous system I think I'm still thinking.
That's daylight. outside From the stimulus you are watching which can also inspire you, You know, context matters. All of this. You know, I said I thought, "Wow, "That's interesting." And she used something to To justify her statement, "Well , I had a really long day. "This is my way of relaxing." And we all completely understood the this. And then the question I asked Because I always want to question the assumptions of People, just get it. This metacognition, People who think about what they are Doing what they do And how they think.
I said, "Okay, will you get up?" Two and a half hours early More to do what "What are you doing now?" Like With a scroll like this. And the answer was of course not. But logically, Like you're going to stay Awake, if you know, Two more hours, okay? Stay up for two more hours. To do that? And that It was immediate, right? And the challenge, you know, with This habit, you cause For things, you know, I'll stop mine right now. At the entrance to my office, right?
I just have a better chance. That I can do this because I turn things around. What I want to do, you guys You know, easier. For me to be able to do. Ummm, here's a trick. To everyone. So, when you Waking up in the morning because it High leverage. The thing The only one that is not worth it for everyone Have an education or network of contacts Or, you know, income Or whatever it is, but Everyone has 24 hours a day, right? So, "without borders" It's not about perfection, it's Related to leverage.
As if How to leverage the minutes The goddess? So, it's not even It's related to time management, Really related to management Thoughts, right? So, here it is. Leverage point. When you Waking up for the first time, there is Something called inertia In sleep. And inertia in sleep is when you go from a state Sleep to wakefulness. And you? Can you imagine things Some come online. As if your attention Coming to the Internet, Your conscious awareness Coming to the Internet, Your alertness is coming. Internet, memory Your work is empty, right?
So it's like you Waking up and it's like snow fresh. Not everyone, no one. Feels like there's no trace Tires and no traces of Other people. It's like It's virgin, right? this clear. In this window, there is Something called "preparation" "Kashvit" and what it means is what you put in The mental input in this window . And this window can be Depends on the quality of your sleep , depending on which stage of The sleep has awakened, whether It is deep, you can To be more blurry or Something like that, about 15 to 45 Minutes, right?
When you Waking up for the first time. now , to the mental input that you Inserts in 15 to 45 minutes These have no effect. Proportional to the rest Your day. not Proportional. then, Think about it, especially In three areas. About what? You focus later. On the same day. what... So, what are you aiming for, Carefully directed... More likely That in the morning, you tend to More focus. Second, how You feel along Today, your mood. Um... And think about it, like You can...let's say Someone pick up the phone.
His, that's what most people Put it in this window. so what Does it increase? Their focus. So, what do they start with? focus? What they saw was nothing. Sunday morning. Comparison, Depression, conflict, War, whatever it is, Or just pure distraction. Like, no one was there. Inviting 200 strangers to a room His sleep comes first. in the morning to talk about what They want to talk about it. That's about what we are Do. Yes, that's true. Consciously or unconsciously. then Your focus, what you are Focusing on it here, Yachin What you focus on later.
Um, how? You feel, and how? You frame the day. your. Like, how are you? Framing situations, conversations, Um, challenges. Is this crisis? Is this an opportunity? Based on what you prepared Your opinion on him. then, The challenge, you know, I saw a video that I have. On Facebook. Do you know? These memories From Facebook? 9 years ago, Me and Simon Sinek. Someone cut the video. This one with 38 million views. It says, only I speak. About Don't Touch the Phone Yours in 30 minutes. The first of the day or -The last 30 minutes of Today, right?
Really really simple. And then we talk about The anxiety that comes with The phone. But when you Pick up the phone, you guys. Promote attention your. It's not just promotions You listen, you promote. The feeling. So, what are you with? Are you promoting this? Distraction , every lecture that comes, And a response. yes. Because you are receiving a message Or a response on social media The social that brings Get you in the mood for Hours, right? or message Voicemail or WhatsApp, you You know, so what are you?
Do? So you are promoting Response, meaning you Extinguish fires immediately. you In defense. How to create a day Amazing if you are just As if you are on your heels First thing in the morning Mentally, right? So I always say that Thought before communication, At least in this window, right? Is that what you mean? The day before the disturbance. You know, what direction? Yours before all distractions These thoughts? So when I wrote "My Day Without Borders", That's 366 days, you guys. All of them on the same date, This should be read in a way Ideal in this window because So you prepare the Things make sense.
So, start the day. Yours, read the day For the day, it prepares you For better attention, yes. Better response, huh? Good feeling. And what is it what because what is it Doing this, you know, The conversations you know, were We have some like experts A conversation like Jefferson Fisher and other people On our podcast, right? Um, conversation expert. I said that the conversation was the most It is not important with Your customers or even With your kids, bro. This is the conversation you are having with yourself.
yes. Because this is the conversation you're having. Your whole life, right? then, It matters. So, this is a way in which You wake up, and before that you have to deal with Everyone's agenda for life yours and respond to everything Another, you know, to direct Your thought. this Like when you wake up, It's like your computer Rebooting, what... right? And until later, All these cards will be open to you because People open them. For you, whatever, You know, but here it is. Clean, right? This is not a user.
With a lot of energy, you have A lot of memory, memory Your work is empty, right? Your focus is clear. Absolutely because you didn't distract me. Your opinion. So, you know, When I wrote about this, it The big question I got From Limiteless, who sold several A million copies, you guys. You know, it's just... And we donated all the proceeds For charity, we built schools. Build in Ghana, Guatemala, Kenya, we offered services Health that prevented them from walking To school, you know, Clean water because there is a lot of it Of these girls, 6 are having fun Hours per day for fetching water for their families, and also research About Alzheimer's for Women And a memory, my grandmother.
but Books for me are that. You changed my life, you. You know, I didn't have the These connections, everything and then My teachers were not Surprised if I read A book, let alone you You know, writing books. But what I was, what I wasn't I thought about the world, but The question I got from people who reads Limitless is, This is, you know, a guide. Great user for your brain Your brain, you You know, there are no instructions in it, But how can I Live it every day?
that I didn't think people We need another book, because Everyone wanted the next book, And I thought to myself, people Don't need another book. I Love books, right? I Reads every day. I prefer Honestly, a day without eating Than a day without reading, no I skip meals, But that's how important it is to me. But I don't think so. That the world needs another book So that they can read for a few days , and put it back on the shelf. I wanted daily practice, because This is what changes their lives.
Of people, right? Operation Application is the habit. People need a new habit. They don't need another book. And what I wanted was to develop 5-minute practice without Friction, no excuses, First thing in the morning, like Finish the workout. Sunday morning, and you, you You know, doing something difficult. First thing and you win Your dopamine, right? Yes, I'm sure the audience Yours knows that dopamine is A molecule of motivation. Most people think I should be a husband. Motivation to act. not, You do a small action, Then you earn the Dopamine, yes.
You know, and then this Feeds action and momentum Future, right? In contrast For people who receive Dopamine, not profiting him. Scroll, Login For a website, eating Junk food, whatever it is. There will be. So, this is practice. Daily mental upgrade Your technology Just like you Upgrade your Zoom, your apps, The new GBT chat, You get the phone. The new one. 5 minutes a day to To tidy up your head so That you can win the day. You know, and I mentioned To you as you know, I wrote it, it's not There's going to be a book.
I wrote This is for the children. my. You know, when the daughter Mine was born, you know, Um, that was different. When I had a daughter. I Always say it straight. As if it were, I don't You know, I love the son. Mine but I got both then. I know why you are We mean. So, but it's um but I saw my wife holding Her and then my son At the age of two in a bed at home The patients and when she was born It was just different.
I Writes every morning. It's me, I'm like, I just Very creative in the morning. As if I'm breaking My day with three Elements of C. I create In the morning, I need something else. Noon, and I'm turning At night. And this is a group My tasks, right? I Creator, I write books. I plan my courses. Podcasts, what not Will be, creates and then needs, You know, I do. Research, you know, I I read books. Getting ready for the podcast, what? May it not be. Then at night I'm turning, you know, Where I just talk With my wife about my day.
I'm turning this in because I Want to be able to sleep. I am writing a diary. Or I do some yoga. Nidra or I do, you You know, something that just writes What should I do tomorrow, right? I'm taking it out. I am turning and I can Sleep much better. Um, so this is how I divide it. tasks, so I just don't Multitasking And I don't spend much. energy. So, in the morning, um, I went to the hospital, And instead of writing a confession Thank you or what do I want?
to do on the same day, I started writing for children. my. Because, you know, I'm in my 50s, And God forbid, I'm not here. In 20 years, you know. If they were to pass a day Hard, limited day, um, what They should have heard. from their father to pass the this? I started writing about Fear of failure, you You know, uh, burnout, overload Overdose, distraction and syndrome. That is, negative thoughts , self-doubt. And then I had A friend who has been through a really bad time.
Severe, stage four cancer. And I gave him something like a few From my notes and he said , “This is so crazy. Like, every time I read This these days, this Exactly what I needed. "To hear." Because much of healing Or success is a matter of Thinking, right? to arrange the The thought. So I repeated it. And I thought, "Oh, this could To be, it could be The book. It could be "The practice." And I went on This and I put the science of all value.
So each page has Specific date. if Move on to August 20th, what? No matter what, it will be there. A new idea in written form and inspiring, so you Motivation to do it, Two-minute application, then There's no excuse, right? Then, Oh, and a new identity statement In terms of who you are Become. And I Feels like success or Transformation not Only come from eruptions Occasion. You are not just Training for the weekend And you're done, right? You are not Brush your teeth for 3 hours and you're done for the year.
all Success is overload. Progressive, this is consistency, Just like building muscle, And that's something that people Can do every morning To organize your thoughts Theirs and win the day. When I open this all Day and night, How long does it take to read? and implement it on the basis of daily? What does it look like? 5 minutes. So, 5 minutes a day. Including the application. stunning. So, this is a practice of 5 minutes every day and that's it Basically an exercise book Cognitive and mental. I love it.
Your thought is correct because It's a bit like when you Waking up in the morning, imagining You get on a plane, right? And hopefully you Do you know what city you are in? Want to come. But exactly Like today, we have Whirlwind or winds Contradictions. We have everything. These things that compete For getting to where we are Want to come, you know? And just being outside. And there is People whose plane Hijacked by an agenda of Other people for what? They want you. then, Even 1% if you are traveling This way, and you just Taking a 1% difference along the way This during the day or The flight, you can eventually to be In another city or country Absolutely, right?
That's the difference. That makes the difference. So, this is A matter of arranging the The thought, to attract you From the passenger seat to the cockpit , and you are today's pilot your. You don't...you don't The traveler. Like, one exercise I recently read that I read again...I read It's mine now, um. ...it's like this exercise... When I wake up, I Imagine I'm using In a thought experiment. I I imagine myself returning. To bed later That night, my wife and I She asked me, "How was it?" "How's your day?" And I'm like...
And I imagine myself Saying, "Wow, this day It was amazing. Like, I completely destroyed it today. ", right?" Then I ask. myself, "What was needed?" To make me feel this way? So that I can say the words "These for my wife?" And I think About three things in a way Personally, three things professional. Um... And it becomes the things that I Focuses on them. And I even Not picking up my phone Until I finish one Of these six things, right? And that's kind of My personal rules, The rules of my self, And people are not as if they are You don't need to understand the My process, but yours.
The principle behind this. And that's like one value. And I Talking about the science behind it Why it works and everything else. Because how would you know you had it? Great day by default? This is intentional, right? Like you have a goal. In the head. And it's hard to stop Someone who knows where he is. Going and why is he going? There, right? So this is to Help people get in To flow throughout the day, right? We have an event. Coming soon and Steven Kotler Talked about flow states.
But, you know, the reason That this work is so It is significant that if Removing distractions Everyday life, wear and tear, uh, You know, syndrome The impostor, all things that prevent you from arriving To the flow, where you are Feeling your best and perform at your best , right? This is the friction. For the flow, right? So the goal Here it is if you want To win, you have to win. The first few minutes of Today with deliberate preparation and inertia time in sleep. And I think the athletes The best, you guys.
You know, protecting Their time and attention Their heart. You know, Attention is a currency. like Think about the words. We use them When we talk about attention. Please note, right? And if everyone was Need to pull out the card Their credit every time They are paying attention. Theirs somewhere, you guys Log in to Facebook and you Need to pull out the card your credit and enter the This information, people were Treat him/her in a way Very different. right? Or then they go For Instagram, they need Pull out the same card Credit and do it again.
We were not Doing it. We were Thinking about how we are Save and preserve Our attention, you This coin. How will we invest? Him with something valuable? And I really think that The most important thing is to maintain The most important thing, right? I think there are a lot There are people who listen to me. A piece about wear and tear, like a day One, you know, one From the sections. I think That we are not always worn out Because we do more every. Maybe you feel Like that, but there are people Worn because they do Too few of the things The important things that bring them to life.
yes. Yes, and also but, but until People are having a conversation about This, especially the first thing In the morning when you are the most Relevant, so I feel We are in a state of choice. Default. We just Going with the flow of The things and I think that Recipe, just like with Artificial intelligence. Like, If we are not aware And aim for what we are doing, while we We do it, so we Can't be Nervous again because then it's Just fate or luck or Something else, and these Terrible strategies.
There is excellent data on People who cope well With pressure, and it's not because that they have less pressure In their lives, it's because the pressure They have it significant. And has a purpose. yes. So, like, people who volunteer in countries Third world, as if they Out there, it's dangerous, this Hard work, and they Feel great about what? They do. And then there's, You know, John is going. To his office, uh, you guys. You know, every day, and he Overwhelmed with pressure because he is like that, " What am I doing?" yes.
I don't have No purpose behind anything That I do. "So what are you I mean, it's so true. And it's so high In the data. It's interesting when we Talking about a goal And meaning, right? Like, What excites us? this Helps us get through These difficult times. I feel like more people Tend to it and manage Such honest conversations, And maybe this conversation will awaken They are inspired to do it. With their loved ones and all that, because That's what I think makes Make us human.
this One of the pillars of Our being human. yes. You know, I wanted to ask you, Jim. Because you said earlier that the ability Yours...one of the indicators of Intelligence, as that other people have defined Her, she is like the ability Yours to change your mind. there is You have an opinion, then you get New information, and you can Change your mind. When is it? Has this happened to you recently? when The last time you had An opinion where you were like, "Oh, Yes, I think that's true.
""Then you received new information Like, "Oh, man, I "Completely wrong." yes. I mean, even When I wrote this book, I thought I was going to write. Another book, and probably Let me write. I have some Ideas in my head. But, you You know, even change the My opinion is like I didn't want to. Whatever it is...it's a personal book. Very much because I wrote it For my children and they are the thing The most important thing in my life. So, this is What I put into this book.
But when I did it all One day, I thought to myself, uh, Is this...you know, is it? It's not...I don't know if That makes sense. So, that was it. Something small, you know, In terms of this. Um, more One is like faith. About my sleep. you I know, I've already managed you. This conversation in the past, You know, I have a dom. Very severe breathing during sleep . I stop breathing 250 Times a night, ummm, m -2010 to 2015. I slept 90 minutes At night in total.
Wow. yes. As if that was all "That's bad." CPAP machines don't Work, dental instruments . And I had Matt Walker. Everyone was on speed dial. And it just didn't work. And simply I understood and underwent surgery in UCLA. They took my The almonds, the filbert, the The soft palate. And that was it. I blocked. So, my sleep Increased to 4 hours and 4 and a half Hours. But as I created This perfect storm As a child, where I would sleep all night Tonight because I needed to Work three times harder More than the other children To get through, you know, And then it didn't develop habits Sleep well.
Then In my career, you know, I gave 2,200 lectures. Centralized in companies, Corporations, conferences. I Could be at three. Dry for a week, right? then Jet lag, sleeping in the environment strangeness. But I had it all. This matter, I was Beliefs need to be changed. Mine regarding sleep, you You know, like I was Just...my belief then I could have...I have So much to do. I'm on a mission, I have... A goal, and you know, there is no I have time, so I just Goodbye to my sleep, right?
It was like a bank account. Who keeps drawing and drawing Until he enters the pull More, you know, and now I just see sleep. Completely different, you know, Where you can only reach to you, but you need Rest, then you can Repeat that, right? Um, But I gave that too, I I think I gave it too, it was Profit, as if there is profit second. Like, I think. That when people complain to friends all the time because they They feel listened to. Or they feel significant, or they are Going back to treatment and I'm not I am not judging you.
The treatment but they will go. there is "Secondary gain of emotions," Wow, this person is really... "Listen to me." And maybe they Will stay in position longer from what they want or Need because there is benefit Secondary. And I think some From my secondary benefit There were people saying everything. The time, like, "Wow, Jim, you do all this. About 3 hours of sleep. And I thought, 'Well, I was Says yes, I'm pretty okay. But the thing is, it's As if people were gone Around just two hours ago Someone was there, I spoke.
with someone and I said, 'What? How are you? 'He said, 'Oh, I'm so busy. And the man This one is always busy, but it is Use it as a badge of honor. And I said, what is this? Tell them? The answer The secondary one is, 'I am important.' 'If you're busy, I like You are so so so Significant and important and important. And I said, 'Okay, if This is what you value and this is Your faith, so no wonder You shape life. Yours to be busy all Time so you can save About that.
"And I didn't want to." receive any secondary profit or Sympathy from lack of sleep, Even though I just passed by Literally from Estonia To Nashville to New York City to Scottsdale to Los Angeles Angeles up here. Is that what you did just now? yes. Oh, you weren't here. When he was here. initially He told us, 'Damn it,' I'm so tired. So, did you sleep well last night? At night? When you...okay, I imagine that when you You probably train people. Do this before you Really starting to give advice Or start, you probably Making a list of how Let's see their day and what You know, right?
So, you I find that the initial advice Yours when you help people She is more likely to give up Things in their day or Add things to the day their? What to do? this Such a good question. Um, I mean, you guys You know, training is To take someone out of the situation its current to the desired state , right? and be able to Help him close the The gap. You know, one of two. The things I find most Important for the training client What I'm focusing on is They should be...they They should be...
Should be...my husband Open mind. Because someone Could be...with a head Open but they are not... Motivation, so it's not helpful. Or can someone To be...motivated but They are...very...narrow-minded. About how things should be To be done. And I just... I'm going to get more. Friction gauges. Oh...so I feel..." They must Doing it is a process. of joint creation. Um, I'm definitely looking at Their diary. I think [ __ ] is first and foremost, me. I think it's one of the tools. Performance The productive ones are several One that we have that we don't Scheduling, it won't happen, Like exercising or reading or application or anything else, You know, or even Your sleep schedule when go to sleep.
That is, like Do you have an alarm clock? arise. I think there is A huge advantage of that Alarm clock to go to sleep Even on weekends. but I know no one Doing it in a way Perfect, but to a certain extent that you can stay on Schedule, sleep Your total in range The long one will just be good. more. I mean, without a doubt. I mean, it's just like that humans are meant to do. Um, but if I look On their diary I Can see what's important them.
right? Just like Where do people invest their Their time, your attention Their heart, their resources Theirs, that's what matters, isn't it? No matter what they say. right? If they don't do That, like spending the Time with their family, Or they don't do it. Things, right? Um, so Yes, I am criticizing because Everything I teach is measurable. I, you know, except From the sleep and rhythm indicators Heart of everything else, exactly Like in the fitness world, I I can measure. Measure concentration, I can To measure memory, I Can measure speed Reading, reading comprehension, everything .
So, I need to have Baseline, then, you You know, we can. Develop them. Um, I was. I mean, in terms of where Points are found The controversy, motivation is Challenge, make people to act, and I'm talking about Purpose, that there is something they Feel that if they can know Intellectually they are want to change, but they We're not doing anything about it, Because they don't feel it. , right? And we are creatures Feeling, you know, And that would mean nothing. Another is that there is enough Energy to do the thing, Because an exhausted mind is a coward.
I mean, you just don't Going to do things If you're just tired, right? ? You're not going to take on Take this challenge yourself, you knowing? Um, then the thing The second, the art of me Thinking is breaking things down For small and simple steps, right? That's why I did it. This is a daily operation of 5 subtlety. It's like...what...what The expression? It's like...for People...it's like the weight The heaviest in the gym is The front door for a lot people. But this...but this right. Never I didn't hear that.
this right. I don't believe that either. I have never heard of this. This is really good. yes. this Our feeling. You must understand... It's just one of those things. The ones where people don't You're exercising, put on your shoes. running. As if it's...like My children, we had Biological dentist In our podcast he spoke About, you know, health. Mouth and brain health And the microphone And the microbiome and inflammation And beyond brushing your teeth. Like oil pulling, itching Language, all these things. And I just, you know, I started saying that the son Our 3 year old started Use dental floss, right?
But it was... Like, it was...it was, It was, a little, but I thought To myself, okay, one small step. And simply, one tooth. Because even One does not stop at one tooth.
