Dr. Huberman, please. Read the book: Portal. By Yolande Norris Clark. Listen to the Free Birth Society podcast. You are missing the biggest and most fundamental part of humanity that has been taken from us since the beginning of the industrial age. You will be amazed of what you don’t know. Please, please dig into free birth.
Are you familiar with Victor Wooten’s ideas on learning? If not, I think you may find them interesting (if I recall correctly, he refers to it as “Music as a Language”).
I will never understand why people are so captivated listening to this man endlessly talk about himself. Nowhere in his book or in any of his interviews does he talk about "the art of learning." It's really just memoirs and stories about himself. Not valuable at all. I think we largely have Tim Ferris to blame for this hype.
Andrew, thank you. You bring what normally would cost thousands of dollars with elite speakers and coaches and make it zero cost in the spirit of learning. So grateful for your podcast.
I read this guys book I think 2016 or so. Amazing. Learned the diff between naturally gifted vs hard worker. Learned about push hands Tai chi. Learned so much from this guy I wish more people Learned from him he's a gem for those on the never ending path of actual measurable self improvement.
Ty! Josh changed my life. I read The Art of Learning during COVID, and it encouraged me to learn chess from a place of interconnectedness. I've spent some time at Washington Square Park really trying to fire walk with Josh. His life's journey is such an inspiration: Quality as a way of life 💖
Huberman and Waitzkin, just existing as yall do has lifted so many spirits. It’s an honor to know likeminded people are here with us. Thank you for your time!
If you say this is your favourite episode...it must be great....listening in... Thanks Andrew for the work you do and help so many people, God bless u and your team.
Just wanted to say: Thank you. I've paused listening to any podcast for quite a while, including yours. I didn't realise how huge the impact was for my mental health, getting facts and suggestions from you especialy on how to improve myself.
I was in the same boat there for a while so I understand, it was this podcast that got me taking in good information again.... All the best in your health and happiness. Blessings from Scotland 💎🏴
Heard Waitzkin for the first time in 2015 when he was on Ferriss' podcast. I was fascinated immediately and still think of his book "The Art of Learning" frequently.
Dear Dr. Andrew Huberman, I wanted to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude for the incredible impact your podcast has had on my life. Your insightful discussions, grounded in neuroscience and real-world experience, have been a source of inspiration, guidance, and growth for me. Your ability to break down complex concepts into accessible and actionable advice has been truly transformative. Your podcast has become a cherished resource, offering life lessons that I reflect on and apply daily. Thank you for sharing your knowledge, expertise, and passion with the world. Your dedication to educating and empowering others is a gift, and I feel fortunate to be a beneficiary of your work. Please continue sharing your wisdom and inspiring others to live more fulfilling lives.❤
I’ve never been so excited for an Andrew huberman podcast. Josh Waitzkins book changed my entire Elite performance career and how I attacked and compartmentalized life after integrating his practices
Josh Waitzkin is truly a remarkable individual whose journey is nothing short of inspiring. His ability to blend intellectual depth with exceptional skill in both chess and martial arts showcases not only his talent but also his relentless pursuit of mastery. 🙌Watching him perform is a testament to the power of dedication & the art of LEARNING!! His insights into the process of growth & development resonate deeply. This conversation serves as motivation for others to embrace challenges with courage & grace. Josh's influence extends far beyond his achievements. He embodies the spirit of resilience and the joy of lifelong learning, inspiring countless individuals to reach for their own greatness. And if you haven’t seen the movie “Searching for Bobby Fischer,” you should; it’s excellent.
You sound like AI. There is nothing "inspiring" about this man's journey. He came from money, and his parents bought him the most expensive chess coaching money can buy (baiscally the yoda of chess.) And what do you know, he ended up being really good. Wow, such a cinderella story.
@@scottk1525sounds like you’re jealous. Buddha was an inspiring guy too and also the most privileged. Your belief that an inspiring journey can only come from the underprivileged is unequivocally false.
I had to let this one bounce around inside of me for a day or so before I commented. I learned so much! I was especially moved by his discussion of ego, and his sensitivity in being able to perceive through touch a fellow fighter's brittleness and flow, and in his statement that in some fighters, "you can feel when the earth is moving inside them." Physically speaking, the bulk of his thenar eminence must provide him with astounding grip strength. And he moves his hands so fluidly! This one felt like a blessing. Thank you both.
Andrew, I adore your podcasts but this is one of your best to date. Josh is one amazing and gifted soul. Thank you Andrew!! Keep up with passion and love for science.
Your introduction to Josh was phenomenal. I've never heard of this person before, but the more you kept describing him the more excited I started becoming excited about learning more about Josh..
I finally finished listening to this episode today.. and I have got to say this was one I truly needed to hear. I went to school and got my medical coding certificate and life had a different plan for me. I'm days away from my CCS expiring, which I never got to use in the way I intended it. I can now view this experience that my coding training was not for the medical coding position itself.. it was for a different kind of decoding - decoding myself... As I'm going through EMDR therapy all of the skills will be very useful for me in the healing journey... Josh W wasn't wrong.. you can take the principles from one domain and apply them to another.
Loved this. I never sit through a whole podcast but today I played this from the time I woke up and all the way through my pull day workout and cooking after. Very inspiring
My youngest son started Chess at 6 years old, he is 8. He also does boxing and taekwon-do. He is such a clever child... I'm so proud. Amazing how learning can shape your life! An inspirational man, thanks Josh and Andrew.
Mr. Huberman. Opera is in fact one of the most competitive realms you can find. In fact I’ve been commenting many times that you should do a voice episode. As always, grateful for all the work that you and your team do to bring this kind of experiences.
Chess, Tai Chi, Brazilian jujitsu, foil surfing ... Josh is just freaking amazing, so glad to get another podcast from him since the Tim Ferriss episode!!
There are so many parts of this episode that I rewatched and saved. I have inadvertently been practicing what he's been saying. By gaining knowledge, I've been able to completely change my life for the better. Thank you so much for these videos and I can't begin to tell you how much you and the guests have provided me with. Andrew, you are on my list of people I will be speaking to on my podcast (in development). I look forward to it and sharing how I've overcome adversity and trauma by utilizing resources like yours. I relate a lot to David Goggins, although he doesn't know this. When I first heard him speak, he was saying exactly how I feel. The drive I have is because I realize the gift of life and how fragile our lives and bodies are. I'm a survivor of sexual assault and domestic violence (domestic terrorism) and was able to escape with my three kids before he killed me. I went through three years of court involving the domestic violence and was shocked at the injustices for victims. I was also inspired by my attorneys in my case and enrolled in my undergrad, graduated with honors, then applied and was accepted into law school. I knew that I was able to do something about what was happening in society and with so many people, especially children negatively affected. Perpetuating generational trauma and poor parenting. I'm in my second year of law school and am currently developing a podcast. Because of people like you and many others, I've learned that knowledge is power. With that, I lost 75ish lbs and am in the best shape of my life. While I'm a single mom of three trying to get through law school, I never forget what life is about. And hearing Josh speak on it was very fulfilling to me. I'm so glad that people like you exist because without us, who would be making a real and lasting difference? I look forward to talking with you one day. My Facebook is below: facebook.com/share/12Hn6XGdfs3/
The Art of Learning is one of my favorite books and changed the way I setup learning anything new ever since I read it the first time. I've read it 3 times now.
Man, I haven't seen listened yet and I am happy. One of my favorite Podcasters encounters the man who one of my favorite movies is based around. Awesome!
I find it really striking that this guy, who clearly has a very high IQ and has a lot of valuable insight to offer, appears to give give a lot of emphasis to things like meaning of life, Buddhist philosophy and “making the world a better place”… while at the same time spending his time helping professional sports teams and investors…
Andrew, Thank you for your great podcasts. I am also a chess player. Chess playing has allowed me to make better decisions and cognition at 42. It's my way to take stressful situations into positive reinforcement. Chess has helped me a lot and your podcast too. Thank you for doing podcast like this. I appreciate you very much 😊, Andrew.
I’m already so excited to see the next podcast with Josh and Andrew come up, and I hope sooner than later. I feel so blessed to have been able to hear this conversation and in some way take from this and use it in my own endeavors to face myself and live beyond the pain. I try to embody the aspect of taking on hard things and growing, but that process is fraught with darkness without someone to help guide through the edges and contours that can be so hard for someone just beginning in the process. So thank you very much for coming on Josh and thank you Andrew for thanking him on all of our behalf because it was so worthwhile. I was brought to tears a few times during this and can’t express how grateful I am.
"Relentless truth to myself with authenticity, with love, with receptivity" and " I have the gift of being just fucking allergic to being untrue to myself". This resonates deeply, and have never heard it framed quite this way. I've felt the agitation and friction within me at times and in the moment didn't necessarily understand why. In being untrue or not authentic to myself it does feel like an allergic reaction.
My boys were national and state champions in Atlanta Georgia when they were kids. We are VERY familiar with all things chess. They started at ages 7 and 4 and I encourage all parents of young children to teach their kids chess.

@@scottk1525 I consider his view of the world very wise regarding personal growth and learning, competition and understanding of the strategies that humans put into the arts that they get into. Definitely not a regular person. If you can't see it, I guess it's okay too. A shame in my opinion.
@@Rana-yk6xn But he doesn't actually share any "wisdom." He mostly just recounts over-dramatized stories about himself, and waxes about what his thought process allegedly was (as if anybody could even remember the specifics of their reasoning at age 12.) He has no interest whatsoever in providing tangible takeaways. He's just here to talk about himself and how incredible his mind is. I find it insufferable and of basically no value. I think the only reason you've been duped into thinking it's wisdom is that authority figures like Tim Ferris and Huberman give him validation. But I'll bet if you had picked up his book, having never heard any of this hype, you've had put down pretty fast.

Reading the book Skin in the Game right now. And today’s chess and martial art one on one competition is scathingly skin in the game. Amazing conversation!
Thank you for all you do Andrew, your anxiety breathing techniques helped me massively! I love your show, I'd love to see Chase Hughes on as a guest!🙏🏼 Blessings from Scotland. 🏴
Fits you well with glasses, first time I see you with them. Keep up the good work and thank you for your continuous work to provide free knowledge to everyone!
Thanks .. This video I was trying to find from past 2 hours. . I saw it yesterday brief in twitter .. and then today was not able to find it .. and then some how found it ..Thanks again.
Yeah, I agree with a lot of the comments! “If this is Andrew’s favorite episode, it must be a banger!” I’ve never heard him say that before, looking forward to learning, commenting for the algo!
@ 1: 00: 23 You are describing something I experienced one time I encountered a thief trying to steal my car. I confronted him and asked him what he was doing and said nothing but instead started walking towards me and was reaching for his inside of his jacket as if reaching for a gun or a knife. As a student of the martial arts of many years, I felt a rush of adrenaline come all through my body and without thinking I experienced an intense focus and great amount of energy where everything seemed to slow down. I was able to run up to him and kicked him in the solar plexus to stop him from grabbing whatever he was reaching for...he ran away from me I chased him for a few yards but let him go. All these took less than a minute but after all was over I was drained of all the energy I had and just sat there reflecting on what just happend...Now I know! Thank you for your knowledge.
Me here learning about not filling in the in between empty spaces with stimulus response through listening to this podcast in the in between spaces in my life 🤯
Quick overview of the main points: Josh Waitzkin began his chess career at six and became a national and international champion. Despite his success, he chose to pursue new ventures like martial arts and ocean sports, embodying a desire for mastery across disciplines. Waitzkin discusses applying chess strategies to diverse fields and customizing the learning process to individual needs. His approach emphasizes thriving under pressure, understanding emotional dynamics, and using tension-relaxation cycles to boost performance. Failures are seen as growth opportunities, with Waitzkin sharing how setbacks informed his progress in other areas. The concept of living intentionally and aiding others in learning efficiency is central to his philosophy. The narrative extends to lessons of mortality and resilience, highlighting the importance of adaptability and continuous growth in life and competitive sports.
@ I agree. The overview is intended as guide not a substitute for the original content itself. Personally, I use our summary tool prior to watching a long form video (this one isn't that long but still), before investing the time into watching the video. We also have millions of book titles available for summary as well. Check our website out if you're interested. The first dozen or so summaries as completely free.
In regards to meta principles, I’ve found that the laws and facets of music and playing music have profound philosophical correlations to life and living. And there’s a lot of them!
I had to pause a lot this episode to reflect on my actions. We actually fill in the 'empty' moments in our life with immediate gratification and don't take time to let our mind wander. I would be curious to know if Josh thinks that Mariusz Pudzianowski has that competitor mindset !
Loved this episode! Especially loved that meditation was touched on. Would love to see an episode with you and Cory Muscara on meditation and the science behind mindfulness !

Andrew, thank you. You bring what normally would cost thousands of dollars with elite speakers and coaches and make it zero cost in the spirit of learning. So grateful for your podcast.
I agree. I love his podcasts. I learn so much from them! 🙂
fr, bless his soul
When something is free, you're the product☝️
Exactly. Do you think this video won't make any money?
Excellent, looking for a summary of key points discussed? More in profile.
Holy shit he got Josh on, such a rare rare occurrence for him to go on a podcast. I can't wait to listen to this Jedi for 3 hours. christmas 2.0
Exactly, i barely heard any news from him since his podcast wit Tim Ferriss .... this is awesome!
@@Patrickt-fb5wj it did not disappoint did it. So stoked about his book the art of training.
Exactly! I feel like a kid on christmas
Oh man, I remember Josh teaching me chess on Chessmaster when I was a kid. I still remember it vividly and fondly, great to hear from him.
Deep thinker
I could listen /talk to Josh all day and never get bored
I read this guys book I think 2016 or so. Amazing. Learned the diff between naturally gifted vs hard worker. Learned about push hands Tai chi. Learned so much from this guy I wish more people Learned from him he's a gem for those on the never ending path of actual measurable self improvement.
My father and fathers father both ptacticed Tai Chi.
Now it's my time
Thank you 💜🙏💙

An hour in, and this is really landing with me. The way the conversation unfolds feels seamless and in flow. Thank you!
Thank you so much from a guy from a small town in Kerala who is deeply helped by your great works🙏
I’m already so excited to see the next podcast with Josh and Andrew come up, and I hope sooner than later.
I feel so blessed to have been able to hear this conversation and in some way take from this and use it in my own endeavors to face myself and live beyond the pain. I try to embody the aspect of taking on hard things and growing, but that process is fraught with darkness without someone to help guide through the edges and contours that can be so hard for someone just beginning in the process. So thank you very much for coming on Josh and thank you Andrew for thanking him on all of our behalf because it was so worthwhile.

In being untrue or not authentic to myself it does feel like an allergic reaction.
My boys were national and state champions in Atlanta Georgia when they were kids. We are VERY familiar with all things chess. They started at ages 7 and 4 and I encourage all parents of young children to teach their kids chess.
wow
Amazing!! I do too. Both my boys play and both started at age 6.
.. and...?
It doesn't even make sense how valuable this information is. Thank you so much.

0:01 - 3:20 Intro
3:20 - 3:14:00 Josh talking endlessly about himself with no practical advice offered
3:14:00 Outtro
Thanks for being an inspiration Josh!
And please write another book...the world needs it and i would be beyond excited and curious.
maybe one of the best podcasts ever recorded, incredible. Thank you both.
I've never seen huberman geek out over someone before but you can see the utter admiration.
I think his unique life path really endowed him with wisdom in so many areas. A joy to listen to!
literally zero wisdom. people are so easily bamboozled. it's bizarre.
@@scottk1525 What do you mean? I'm inclined to agree but I don't know much about this guy
@@scottk1525 I consider his view of the world very wise regarding personal growth and learning, competition and understanding of the strategies that humans put into the arts that they get into. Definitely not a regular person. If you can't see it, I guess it's okay too. A shame in my opinion.
@@Rana-yk6xn But he doesn't actually share any "wisdom." He mostly just recounts over-dramatized stories about himself, and waxes about what his thought process allegedly was (as if anybody could even remember the specifics of their reasoning at age 12.)
He has no interest whatsoever in providing tangible takeaways. He's just here to talk about himself and how incredible his mind is. I find it insufferable and of basically no value.
I think the only reason you've been duped into thinking it's wisdom is that authority figures like Tim Ferris and Huberman give him validation. But I'll bet if you had picked up his book, having never heard any of this hype, you've had put down pretty fast.
Downloading an episode after a long time...let the howlers howl Andrew, just keep doing what you do...❤
¡Hola Profe!What a guest and what a conversation!Three hours just flew by,but we learned so much.Thank You for all Your hard work and care for all of us.
First time seeing Andrew chuckle like that after saying "can't be good for a number of reasons". Caught me off guard. Love it
Phenomenal. Just… phenomenal.
Andrew, you are superb and incredible. You provide all the resources and tools for enhancing our knowledge and we can grab it through sitting at home.
I purchased the book 2 months back. I’m going to read this next just finishing my current one, can’t wait!!
Excellent! One of my favorite podcasts!!❤️❤️👏👏
I didn't expect this, but this is ALSO my favorite conversation already on the Huberman Lab, and i'm not even halfway through.
Another podcast from my favourite TH-camr, Dr Huberman🎉. Thank you!!
2:14:26 great insight here
2:24:47 here too about being a water mountain
2:47:32 great quote
This might just be the best episode of a remarkable podcast!
Best podcast on TH-cam.
Thank you so much for the conversation, such beautiful and inspiring men

I’m 14 min and hooked. It’s 2am though so tomorrow. We are so lucky to get this info
Reading the book Skin in the Game right now. And today’s chess and martial art one on one competition is scathingly skin in the game. Amazing conversation!
Wow, love his self-awareness. Amazing guest!
This Guy IS insane, i read his book in the past and was blown away by It, amazing huberman...
Insane? I’d say quite the opposite. Hypersane.
Incredible podcast. I hope to see him on again!
LOVED that episode!! Andrew, I get happily addicted to your podcast, man!! THANK YOU +++!!!👏👏👏❤️
Mahalo for the conversation in greater understanding of learning. Learning is a humble exercise we still keep as we grow in maturity.
Thank you for all you do Andrew, your anxiety breathing techniques helped me massively! I love your show, I'd love to see Chase Hughes on as a guest!🙏🏼 Blessings from Scotland. 🏴
Wow! The whole podcast is brilliant, but the wisdom at 1:04:12 has turned our whole world upside down!
I was not expecting this man to be so fascinating. What an incredible mind.
Yet another super guest and listening to two articulate gents makes three hours seem much shorter, thanks again.
LEARNED ALOT!! “LET’S LIVE OUR LIFE LIKE WORK OF ART”.
Fits you well with glasses, first time I see you with them. Keep up the good work and thank you for your continuous work to provide free knowledge to everyone!
love this man. what a brilliant human being
Thanks .. This video I was trying to find from past 2 hours. . I saw it yesterday brief in twitter .. and then today was not able to find it .. and then some how found it ..Thanks again.
Yeah, I agree with a lot of the comments!
“If this is Andrew’s favorite episode, it must be a banger!”
I’ve never heard him say that before, looking forward to learning, commenting for the algo!
@ 1: 00: 23 You are describing something I experienced one time I encountered a thief trying to steal my car. I confronted him and asked him what he was doing and said nothing but instead started walking towards me and was reaching for his inside of his jacket as if reaching for a gun or a knife. As a student of the martial arts of many years, I felt a rush of adrenaline come all through my body and without thinking I experienced an intense focus and great amount of energy where everything seemed to slow down. I was able to run up to him and kicked him in the solar plexus to stop him from grabbing whatever he was reaching for...he ran away from me I chased him for a few yards but let him go. All these took less than a minute but after all was over I was drained of all the energy I had and just sat there reflecting on what just happend...Now I know! Thank you for your knowledge.
Instant all-time episode.
Me here learning about not filling in the in between empty spaces with stimulus response through listening to this podcast in the in between spaces in my life 🤯
I'm a boxing coach. This episode is great. I'm going to take alot of what I learned here and apply it to my training.
This is a very interesting and inspirational guest, thank you Dr. Huberman!
Andrew you are a legend , this is so good
Quick overview of the main points:
Josh Waitzkin began his chess career at six and became a national and international champion.
Despite his success, he chose to pursue new ventures like martial arts and ocean sports, embodying a desire for mastery across disciplines.
Waitzkin discusses applying chess strategies to diverse fields and customizing the learning process to individual needs.
His approach emphasizes thriving under pressure, understanding emotional dynamics, and using tension-relaxation cycles to boost performance.
Failures are seen as growth opportunities, with Waitzkin sharing how setbacks informed his progress in other areas.
The concept of living intentionally and aiding others in learning efficiency is central to his philosophy.
The narrative extends to lessons of mortality and resilience, highlighting the importance of adaptability and continuous growth in life and competitive sports.
thankyou for the overview
@@zezezepI encourage to listen to the full episode yourself so you can pick up on the many nuances that might resonate or inspire you.
@ I agree. The overview is intended as guide not a substitute for the original content itself. Personally, I use our summary tool prior to watching a long form video (this one isn't that long but still), before investing the time into watching the video. We also have millions of book titles available for summary as well. Check our website out if you're interested. The first dozen or so summaries as completely free.
After watching the vid I use the summary to return to an item I need to hear again
@@zezezep Awesome!
Crazy timing, I just finished this book like a week ago lol. Huberman is on a different level out here much love
I’ll be adding this book to my Amazon cart. What a captivating episode! Thank you☺️
I actually had to take notes with this one. So many good points that I want to remember.
His book is one of my favorites! Thanks for bringing him in
Thank you Dr. Huberman, team, sponsors and supporters. THANK YOU JOSH WAITZKIN☀️
Thank-you for bringing on another original thinker! Please do bring on John and Julie Gottman in the future!
Clear, concise, and easy to follow. Great job explaining!
Loved it, already dying for Josh to come back on the podcast
Woooow, Waitzkin! Learned about him from an OG podcaster - TimTim. I’d love to see him with Lex, and Roe Jogan. Such a brilliant guy
This is absolutely amazing wonderful! Thank you so much for this interesting and fascinating podcast!
In regards to meta principles, I’ve found that the laws and facets of music and playing music have profound philosophical correlations to life and living. And there’s a lot of them!
This was wonderful. Really needed it. Thank you both.
I had to pause a lot this episode to reflect on my actions. We actually fill in the 'empty' moments in our life with immediate gratification and don't take time to let our mind wander. I would be curious to know if Josh thinks that Mariusz Pudzianowski has that competitor mindset !
The way you explained this made it so easy to understand. 🧠
Loved this episode! Especially loved that meditation was touched on. Would love to see an episode with you and Cory Muscara on meditation and the science behind mindfulness !
Such a Gritty Beautiful Mind. Thank you for sharing. Osss🙇♂🙇♂🙇♂
This was PHENOMENAL! Keep on rocking both of you
Already need Huberman Camp, when we will practice science and science-based tools for everyday life.
Tremendous work. Thank you!
