Blocks: I Wish I Knew w/ Neal Brennan · Happiness Expert Dr. Arthur C. Brooks · 9 Jul 2026 podcast

Neil, that's why I'm going to Mass every day.

That's the reason that I pray my rosary with my wife every day.

for help me fucking do this.

Help me understand what is the nature of this and what is the truth.

I want the truth.

I don't mind the fact that I'm imperfect, because we all are.

But I do not want to be guided in my life by the lies and imperfection.

I want the truth notwithstanding what's actually going on inside my head.

Yeah, so here's the thing, and here's the beautiful thing about psychedelics.

Yeah.

You need me at church.

Just to make a deal, man.

Let's talk turkey.

So what people who use psychedelics or people who are really religious or people who are serious meditators, what they have in common is that they recognize at the end of the day that life has suffering in it.

But suffering is not the same thing as pain.

Pain is a normal phenomenon that happens to you because you're alive.

It's sensory or it's affective.

Sensory pain has to do with nerve endings and inflammation.

Affective pain is where the dorsal anterior cingulate cortex of your brain says, you don't like that.

And that can come from somebody rejecting you just as much as it can come from touching a hot stove.
