This is neurohacking at it’s finest - no need to buy anything, pay for courses, or even leave your house. If you’ve cleaned your room and made your bed, embracing the cold is the next step for building the iron discipline that’s absolutely necessary in your quest to make the world a better place.

In the interview that follows this episode we talk at length with Dr. Vaibhav Diwadkar, Wayne State neuropsychiatrist who’s been mapping the deep-brain changes that happen during meditation, deep breathing, and exposure to cold. It doesn’t happen overnight, but it looks like regularly overcoming your emotional aversion to unpleasant tasks can actually change the way you react to everything else that life throws at you.
