So let me explain.

Huberman Lab

So here's the first thing to understand.

Huberman Lab

The way that we collect information, this is why I love being a clinician.

Huberman Lab

So you talked about the last lecture.

Huberman Lab

So this person was saying, if people don't push you, that means that they don't care about you.

Huberman Lab

They're not invested in you.

Huberman Lab

The moment that you give up on someone is the moment that you stop pushing them, right?

Huberman Lab

Makes perfect sense.

And then there are also people who have been pushed to the point where they like crack under pressure.

Huberman Lab

That's actually way more common.

So generally speaking, pressure, just like any other part of biology, if I exert pressure on some joint, on some part of soft tissue, we'll develop a callus.

So this is where the reason there's no roadmap is because people aren't the same.

Huberman Lab

So we all have unique genetics.

Huberman Lab
Unlearn Negative Thoughts & Behaviors Patterns | Dr. Alok Kanojia

We all have unique experiences.

Huberman Lab

We all have a unique internal dialogue.

Huberman Lab

And so the whole point of personality โ€“ and we can define personality like by the technical terms, which is it is the way that you interpret information, the way you perceive the world, your internal reactions, and the behaviors that you engage in.

Huberman Lab
Unlearn Negative Thoughts & Behaviors Patterns | Dr. Alok Kanojia

So you can take literally โ€“

Huberman Lab
Unlearn Negative Thoughts & Behaviors Patterns | Dr. Alok Kanojia

you know, two different human beings in the exact same situation.

I've worked with a couple of survivors of like genocidal conflicts.
