"Until we can learn to regulate the self, we will not advance as a culture." An excerpt from my conversation with neuroscientist Andrew Huberman. To learn more about how you can modify your brain for the better, check out episode 533. ✌🏼🌱 -Rich

What we need to do is start to figure out how we can, I think, especially for the next generation of kids, how to teach them to regulate their nervous system so that they recognize that pulse of adrenaline as placing them in a compromised position. Like we have to leverage the idea that being able to hear and listen hinges on the ability to be calm. So therefore, the ability to be calm is crucial to hearing and listening, and hearing and listening is crucial to our advancement as individuals and as groups. The problem is everyone's been trying to do this backwards. They've said, we all have to get along. We have to cancel, cancel culture. We all have to listen to one another. And I think, again, we have to start from the inside. We have to teach it physiologically. Now, I don't have a master plan on how to do that, but one of the reasons I'm here and one of the reasons I'm teaching neuroscience on Instagram and not just in my laboratory is until we can learn to regulate the self, I don't think we're gonna get where we wanna go as a culture.
