People with ADD can pay attention just fine. That's why a lot of people who have it go, I don't have it. Like if I love my history teacher, I'm like focused. But then when I go to geometry, I can't do it at all. Yeah.

It's interesting. It should be, it's like love is a drug. If you love something, well, you can do it. But the problem is most of life you don't love. And so you end up with this really sort of erratic attention disorder. And they tend to gravitate towards

things you know i i see hear this story a lot unfortunately is they they experiment in college and they take a little bit of methamphetamine and it helps them and they're more focused and but then they don't know how to manage it and they end up taking more and more and they end up getting addicted and it steals their soul love can you see love on the brain

Helen Fisher, who's a neuroscientist in New Jersey, has actually studied love. And new love shows up as increased activity in the dopamine centers of the brain. And it makes you just a bit obsessive. I think of new love as dopamine, but lasting love more like opiates. So new love, when you break up, is sort of like getting off cocaine. Hard, but not that bad.

Lasting love, if it goes away, and we talked about grief earlier, It's like it's ripping your skin off. It's really hard. Sort of like getting off of heroin.

A lot.

A lot.

I think that their brain gets into anxiety, sadness, and... That person just lives in every fun place in their brain and they can't get over it. And it can be quite messy for them.

Well, I'm actually working on it. I want everybody to just ask this one question. And We mentioned my work with BJ Fogg on how people change. And he talks about tiny habits. What's the smallest thing I can do that will make the biggest difference? And if I could impact the world, it would be through one question. Whatever I'm doing right now, is it good for my brain or bad for it?

I want to teach people to love their brains and to just make better decisions for the health of their brain because then everything follows that. Is it good for my brain or bad for it? I'm 15. I have a developing brain. My brain is myelinating itself, which means it's wrapping all my nerves, all my brain cells with a white fatty substance called myelin.

And my frontal lobes are not done until I'm 25. Oh, I'm going to love my brain. So I'm not pouring crap in my body with what I eat or what I drink because it's bad for my brain. When I'm 60... And I'm stressed because my football team's not winning. I'm not going for an extra beer because I love my brain. And I'm going to get to a healthy weight because I love my brain. That's the change.

That's why I think God put me on the earth.
