Have you listened to the FULL EPISODE yet?"But I tend to do that with things I really wanna do anyway, but there's a strong fear. Like I'm afraid to do this or I'm kind of anxious about doing this, so I'll tell people and then I'm like, okay, now I'm committed. And I tell people that I'm certain they're gonna give me a hard time. That's just my nature. And I'm not trying to prove them wrong, I'm just trying to make sure that they don't have any ground to stand on." - Andrew HubermanIn this insightful episode, neuroscientist Andrew Huberman shares his perspective on effective goal-setting strategies based on neuroscience principles. Huberman introduces the concept of 12-week training cycles, explaining how this timeframe provides a manageable structure for goal pursuit while allowing for potential setbacks. He draws a crucial distinction between goals that build on existing skills and those that require learning entirely new ones, highlighting how each type demands a different approach and mindset.Huberman delves into the neuroscience of goal achievement, discussing concepts like limbic friction and the role of dopamine in motivation. He addresses the pros and cons of making goals public and emphasizes the importance of moving the horizon closer when facing particularly challenging pursuits.
