Dr. Adam Grant: How to Unlock Your Potential, Motivation & Unique Abilities

This is my favorite episode hands down. I learned so much about myself and how to improve. I really appreciate the mix of casual conversation, personal examples, experiments, metaphors, hypotheticals, and science-backed insights. My 23 year old self was thoroughly engaged (which is rare) so thank you thank you thank you

Dr. Huberman is like a father who teaches us to change a spare tire....Except he makes us realize complex topics easily.

Adam grant is like huberman for the social sciences-- always breaking down complex topics into easy to understand, actionable tools. So glad to see the worlds of biology and social science collide. Grant's books have helped me breakthrough so many mental roadblocks in my life and shift my perspective in profound ways, while the huberman lab podcast has helped me understand and improve my physiology. Two amazing human beings sharing their love of knowledge with the world. What an awesome conversation!

I usually never comment, but this is now my favorite podcast episode I've ever watched. It was just infectious to see how much respect they had for each other. They were able to relate so closely to one another's experiences while offering their own unique perspectives and insights. They were so engaged and genuinely interested in what the other had to say that the dance between listening and responding was so smooth that it almost felt coordinated. Their love and passion for the topics kept me engaged the whole episode (so much, in fact, that I watched this whole episode in 1 sitting while hungoveer on a sunday LOL). All this while dropping interesting, clear, actionable, surprising, AND self relevant insights 😂 I only recently got into Dr. Huberman's content, but now I'm a fan his AND Dr. Grant's. Thanks for this gem, good sirs 🙏💪

"Purpose of feedback is not to shame my past self but to educate my future self" Wow! Amazing, That. Hit. Deep. 😢❤😢❤😢 Thank you Dr. Hubermann

You know your life changes when you start to listen Professor Huberman.❣️

Dr Huberman! Your work has greatly helped me in everyday life. Could you kindly do a podcast around self-esteem, please?

Dr. Huberman I'd like to contribute my experience with the journaling protocol you shared last week. I did it based on your recommendation alone, started the same day and pulled all the stops, picked the event that has certainly traumatized me the most in my life and did the half and hour of journaling four consecutive days. It was not fun experience, if discomfort scale 1-10 is assumed worst I ever felt was 9 (as I can imagine worse situations) and I've had many very, very painful moments, event in question was an 8 at the moment (I was not molested if anyone is curious) and a journaling was easily 6, for comparison freezing cold water immersion or debilitating muscle soreness I would put around 4 and being put on a spot by authority figure in front of my peers 3 at the most. By the day three I woke up early dreading the journaling and did it right away before anything else just to get it over with and I was cranky and anxious the whole day. I am usually very very happy person, in some part thanks to protocols you've shared over the years, but I'll tell you on the fourth day I don't remember when was I so happy for not having to go over journaling again. Aside from the momentary relief, pain/pleasure balance was certainly offset and damn if I am not proud for muscling through the whole process. As for the intrusive thoughts about the event, I feel like they are far less often, like I got drained of thoughts about it. When they crop up they aren't as harmful as I see how trivial they are in comparison with the real event or forced non-stop writing about it for half an hour in great factual and emotional detail, I think that has also a side effect of me not being afraid to trigger them as I was. I also haven't got a desire to ruminate on the subject, something I did occasionally, because now I know how that rumination can make me feel if taken far enough. So thank you for sharing this protocol with us, you are changing lives with your science communication.

I love how we are NOT the only ones learning, but Andrew Huberman as well. Humbleness is your biggest quality AH💪🏽🧠💜

That 1.06 pause was so awesome. So much self reflection. Self awareness . Learning from curiosity is the way, being able to still be in awe from learning is gold. You are my sensei, so much respect and so much love 🙏🏽

Andrew, your recent podcasts exploring diverse topics beyond the realm of pure biology have been profoundly impactful e.g. growth mindset, willpower, journaling, and mental health, among others. The best part is these topics incorporate so many zero-cost behavioral tools. Your dedication to helping people globally is evident, and your work is nothing short of tremendous the way you seamlessly weave together so many scientific concepts and tools in a single episode in such a digestible way for the listeners. Please, Andrew, continue to explore and share more of these thought-provoking topics. Thank you for your commitment to our knowledge and personal growth. ❤ p.s. would love to see episodes on cross-gender dynamics, purpose/meaning in life, and more topics on behavioral sciences like the episode of Maya Shankar

3:00:10 Adam’s story just moved me to tears😢. Looking forward to your parenting book! Please do it Adam and thanks Andrew for another exceptional episode.

I was so inspired by this episode that I felt inclined to find it on Youtube to leave you a comment. I appreciate your humility with expressing your early struggles with school, and what it was like for you to want to try to catch up - I'm in a similar boat, and last year I finally took the leap to begin studying clinical health psychology, and I got into the MS program I really wanted. In a lot of ways, you modeled the possibility of taking that leap for me, and I'm really grateful. Your exploration around themes of curiosity in this podcast inspired me to dive into the role of curiosity for a project I had to pick a topic on, and I'm glad I did. Thank you for everything you do Dr. Huberman, I appreciate your work a great deal from over here in Michigan.

What impressed about your guests is their ability to quote research studies with so Much ease like taking a sip of water. Inspiring!

YouTube has fantastic opportunities to learn, like this. At 81 and a " learner," find it difficult to not listen to these 2-3 hour discussions or presentations. It presents a daily conflict that I am working on 😊

One of the things that sets Andrew Huberman apart from other podcasters is his humility and graciousness in referencing by name his fellow scientists and their work and how they’ve contributed to the body of knowledge we all seek, rather than just referencing that knowledge. No doubt this attests to his unflinching efforts to seek truth from all sources and his ability to get such amazing guests on his podcasts. Thank you, and keep up the great work, Andrew Huberman!

Wow! I will listen to this episode a second time. It’s where neuro science and psychology meet and I love both fields. I am now subscribed to Dr Adam Grant’s channel as well. You are both aware of the words you choose and successfully manage to express them clearly. I’m just blown away with all this information! We need people like you helping us understand ourselves and others. So thank you very much! 😊

Dear Mr. Huberman, your content is just getting better and better and better and better. Feel encouraged. Thank you!

Procrastination.... so glad I'm finally listening to a podcast on it...

Dr Huberman is such an outstandingly engaging and present host/interviewer. Started out as a professor, evolved to S Tier knowledge advocate. He brings out the very best in each guest. This man will be doing this for 20-30 years. I predict 15+ million subscribers at his best.
