Yeah.

Huberman Lab

And I love the consistency theme and also the discipline.

Huberman Lab
Science-Based Meditation Tools to Improve Your Brain & Health | Dr. Richard Davidson

And yes, I think you're naming something real and important.

Huberman Lab
Science-Based Meditation Tools to Improve Your Brain & Health | Dr. Richard Davidson

And there's a delicate calculus

Huberman Lab

that ranges between kind of letting go and discipline.

Huberman Lab
Science-Based Meditation Tools to Improve Your Brain & Health | Dr. Richard Davidson

And each person, I think, falls at a different point in this continuum.

Huberman Lab
Science-Based Meditation Tools to Improve Your Brain & Health | Dr. Richard Davidson

And what works for one person may not work for another.

Huberman Lab
Science-Based Meditation Tools to Improve Your Brain & Health | Dr. Richard Davidson

You know, with regard to meditation, I always say that what's best for one person isn't necessarily what's best for others.

Huberman Lab

And we have to discover what works for us.

Huberman Lab
Science-Based Meditation Tools to Improve Your Brain & Health | Dr. Richard Davidson

You know, what we do know is that in terms of meditation, that consistency is really important.

Huberman Lab

Huberman Lab
Science-Based Meditation Tools to Improve Your Brain & Health | Dr. Richard Davidson

I do think that the discipline that you're talking about is really important and it is part of it.

Huberman Lab

But again, I think we need to find the right balance for each person and initially...

Huberman Lab

it's really important to have people invite them to taste this with the lowest possible friction so that they can really experience the benefit and then it can gradually progress and they can harness some discipline which eventually will be important.

Huberman Lab
Science-Based Meditation Tools to Improve Your Brain & Health | Dr. Richard Davidson

I mean, I think that that's something super important.

Huberman Lab
Science-Based Meditation Tools to Improve Your Brain & Health | Dr. Richard Davidson

And I think

You know, with regard to attention, we talk about two big buckets.

Huberman Lab
Science-Based Meditation Tools to Improve Your Brain & Health | Dr. Richard Davidson

One is stimulus captured attention.

Huberman Lab
Science-Based Meditation Tools to Improve Your Brain & Health | Dr. Richard Davidson

And the folks who design products online have been really good at capturing our attention.

And our attention gets hijacked by that.
