Listen Later

The conversation explores the concept of doing hard things and the impact it has on the brain. It discusses the anterior mid cingulate cortex (AMCC), a part of the brain responsible for generating tenacity and resilience. The AMCC grows when individuals do things they don't want to do, and it shrinks when they do things they enjoy. The conversation also touches on the importance of choosing your struggles and continuously pushing yourself to grow the AMCC.

The conversation explores the motivation behind doing hard things and the desire to be the best version of oneself. The hosts discuss the importance of exercise and physical fitness as a starting point for personal growth and mental well-being.
