  • Understand & Improve Memory Using Science-Based Tools | Episode 72
    This episode I explain the mechanisms by which different types of memories are established in our brain and how to leverage the amount and timing of key neurochemicals and hormones, such as adrenaline (aka epinephrine) and cortisol, to improve your learning and memory abilities. I describe multiple science-based protocols to do this, including repetition, caffeine, emotional states, deliberate cold exposure, sleep, meditation, and the role of vision, including taking “mental snapshots.” I also describe how exercise and an associated hormone, osteocalcin, can improve cognitive ability and memory formation. I also describe unique aspects and forms of memory such as photographic memory, extreme facial recognition (aka super recognition), and the phenomenon known as déjà vu.

  • Luke Burgis - JML #087
    Jack Murphy Live


    Podcast Notes Key Takeaways
    • Desire is why people want what they want
      • Mimetic desire: relying on external references “to show us what is wantable”
      • We are usually unaware of how much of our self-proclaimed individualism is sourced from thoughts and desires that are not our own
    • We often fight because of our sameness, not because of our differences
      • Conflict emerges when differences are eliminated; everyone begins to fight over the same things
    • Mimetic crisis: occurs when there is a loss of difference
      • When friend/enemy distinctions collapse, people try really hard to create differences
      • Scapegoats are the reintroduction of difference, which inherently is the reintroduction of peace (as counterintuitive that sounds)
      • “Humans have always relied on violence to drive out violence throughout human history” – Luke Burgis
    • The problem with data: “Data at its best can only represent the state of things right now…it just captures what people presently want” – Luke Burgis
      • Truly good ideas aren’t shaped by desire; good ideas shape desire
    • An enjoyable life comes down to ordering your desires well
      • You must know the difference between your personal desires and the desires that simply have a great presentation
      • Prioritize your “thick” desires (continue reading for more info)
    • We should do away with the façade of desire and be honest with ourselves about what we want. Living out a meaningful life is not selfish.
      • We are living in a world where it’s harder than ever to express your true desires
      • Listen to yourself more often

    Jack Murphy sits down with Luke Burgis, author of "Wanting: The Power of Mimetic Desire in Everyday Life" - an insightful book that draws on the work of French polymath René Girard to bring this hidden force to light and reveals how it shapes our lives and societies.

    Why do you want what you want?

    And how do we influence what other's want?

    Once you understand the power of memetic contagion, you'll see it everywhere.

    "A groundbreaking exploration of why we want what we want, and a toolkit for freeing ourselves from chasing unfulfilling desires. Gravity affects every aspect of our physical being, but there’s a psychological force just as powerful―yet almost nobody has heard of it. It’s responsible for bringing groups of people together and pulling them apart, making certain goals attractive to some and not to others, and fueling cycles of anxiety and conflict. In Wanting, Luke Burgis draws on the work of French polymath René Girard to bring this hidden force to light and reveals how it shapes our lives and societies. According to Girard, humans don’t desire anything independently. Human desire is mimetic―we imitate what other people want. This affects the way we choose partners, friends, careers, clothes, and vacation destinations. Mimetic desire is responsible for the formation of our very identities. It explains the enduring relevancy of Shakespeare’s plays, why Peter Thiel decided to be the first investor in Facebook, and why our world is growing more divided as it becomes more connected. Wanting also shows that conflict does not arise because of our differences―it comes from our sameness. Because we learn to want what other people want, we often end up competing for the same things. Ignoring our large similarities, we cling to our perceived differences."

  • 1808: How to Build Bigger Arms, the Truth About Muscle Confusion, the Correct Way to Train to Failure & More
    MInd Pump


    Podcast Notes Key Takeaways
    • Always eat your proteins first
      • You will naturally eat fewer calories; protein is the most satiating macronutrient
    • What to do when a muscle group is lagging:
      • Don’t add more sets to your routine; instead, redistribute your sets to accommodate
      • Bring the muscle group to the front of your workout—you get the most muscle gain out of the workouts you do first
    • “The worst myths in the health and fitness space have some truth in them”– Mind Pump
      • Muscle Confusion: a delicate balance between trying to master a lift and creating enough variation to avoid plateauing
    • Failure training provides short term results that fade quickly
      • “For the average lifter, avoiding it is probably a good idea” – Mind Pump
      • The body tax and risk for injury simply aren’t worth the benefits

  • 20VC: The Memo: Chris Sacca on Why We Are Breeding a Generation of Entitled Assholes, Harley Finkelstein on What Great Fatherhood Really Means, Deena Shakir on How Kids Make You a Better Investor and Anne Wojcicki on How Children Change Your Approach to R
    Twenty Minute VC


    Podcast Notes Key Takeaways
    • Don’t shield your kids from the world. Kids understand fairness and inequity; they will be better off having exposure to varying perspectives and experiences.
      • Due to overexposure to monoculture and struggle-free lifestyle, “we have a surplus of assholes coming down the pike right now” – Chris Sacca
    • Parenting forces work/life balance and efficiency on you
      • It taught Ann Wojcicki how to delegate; she realized she didn’t need to be a part of every meeting
      • In the words of Deena Shakir, kids give you “ruthless prioritization”
    • Kids value presence over everything.
      • Presence isn’t physical, it’s mental. Presence is your attention.
    • “Once you have children, the art of being a good parent and the art of being a good leader are the same”– Ian Siegel
      • Patience & Listening: You must be able to suppress your first reaction and think about the outcome you want to create
    • You can learn a lot about negotiation by becoming a parent
      • Deena Shakir actually recommendsHow to Talk So Little Kids Will Listen by Joanna Faber and Julie King as a business book more so than a parenting book
    • Micromanagement is a poor strategy in both leadership and parenting. You want to model behaviors rather than enforce behaviors.

  • Understanding & Controlling Aggression | Episode 71
    This episode I describe the neural mechanisms that activate and control aggressive states and beahviors and the role of hormones—estrogen and testosterone—in mediating violent and and/or competive aggression. I also describe tools that can be used to modulate the factors that have been shown to ‘prime’ an individual for aggression, including sunlight, estrogen sensitivity, competition within social settings, and overall stress levels, and the hormone cortisol. I discuss how substances such as caffeine and alcohol can impact impulsive behaviors, and how nutrition and supplementation can be used to regulate mood and aggression.

  • #206 - Exercising for longevity: strength, stability, zone 2, zone 5, and more
    Drive with Dr. Peter Attia


    Podcast Notes Key Takeaways
    • Spend as much time as possible working on dynamic stability, static stability, strength training
    • Training “zones” are really a function of the underlying system you are referring to whether it’s heart rate based or power based
    • Most people spend too much time in zone 5 and not enough in zone 2
    • The limits of human performance for truly going “all out” is about 10 seconds – look at the difference between Olympians in the 100m versus 200m
    • Training for longevity: work backwards from 100 years old and think about what you physically have to do to be happy with your life (e.g., play with grandkids, get up from the floor, garden, bike ride, etc.)
    • There is an increase in mortality with reduction in grip strength and loss of quad muscle
    • Life generally takes place in zone 2 and zone 5 so this is what we want to train
    • “Stability is the cornerstone upon which you do everything” – Dr. Peter Attia
    • Peter’s current exercise routine: M-W-F lift (split upper and lower body); Tu-Th-Sat zone 2 cardio; Sun zone 2 cardio then zone 5 cardio

    In this special episode of The Drive, we have pulled together a variety of clips from previous podcasts about exercise to help listeners understand this topic more deeply, as well as to identify previous episodes which may be of interest. In this episode, Peter discusses his framework for exercise, what he’s really optimizing for, and how to train today to be prepared for a good life at age 100. He describes the importance of strength and stability, and why deadlifting is an important tool to consider for longevity. Additionally, he details why training in zone 2 and zone 5 is important, gives a primer on VO2 max, and describes the most effective ways to engage in those types of exercise. Finally, Peter reveals his current exercise routine.

    We discuss:

    • What is Peter optimizing for with his exercise? [3:00];
    • Preparing for a good life at age 100: Training for the “Centenarian Olympics” [6:00];

  • #205 - Energy balance, nutrition, & building muscle | Layne Norton, Ph.D. (Pt.2)
    Drive with Dr. Peter Attia


    Podcast Notes Key Takeaways
    • Big reasons weight loss efforts might be failing: (1) Your wearable is probably not accurately tracking the actual calories burned during exercise; (2) People notoriously underreport energy/calorie intake (not intentionally, we often skip the handful of nuts or berries, but it all adds up); (3) Food labels are allowed up to 20% error
    • A calorie is a calorie, it’s a scientific measure of energy – but all sources of calories are not created equal
    • Peter’s rule of thumb: never do two bad things back to back – if you miss exercise today, be sure to exercise tomorrow; if you eat a cheat meal, make your next meal better
    • If you want to lose weight specifically, you will need to do some form of restriction on time or calories – could be calories, fat, carb, unprocessed food, fasting, etc.
    • The best diet is the one you can stick to! A lot of weight loss is really reprogramming habits and behaviors, more than any specific dietary dogma
    • You need to exercise! If you are focusing on cutting carbs and food restrictions, you are stepping over dollars to pick up pennies
    • Protein and calories are the most important things to consider in your diet – how you distribute carbohydrates and fat should be based on what you can adhere to and tolerate
    • Work your muscles to the full range of motion to maximize hypertrophy
    • Training frequency is more of a tool to distribute volume than it is a hypertrophy stimulus
    • Supplementing for hypertrophy training: whey, creatine monohydrate, maybe citrulline – you can skip BCAAs as long as you’re getting high-quality protein in your diet
    • Protein powder red flags: (1) Stay away from companies pitching “proprietary blends”; (2) Make sure brand isn’t nitrogen spiking (don’t want glycine on the label); (3) Watch out for unrealistic claims or “most anabolic” type marketing

    Layne Norton holds a Ph.D. in nutritional sciences and is a physique coach, natural bodybuilder, and previous guest on The Drive. In the first half of this episode, Layne dives deep into the topic of energy balance, including the role that macronutrients and calories play in weight loss. He describes how many people struggle with tracking food and calories on their own across a variety of diets and how all of this can impact nutritional habits and behaviors. In the second half of the episode, Layne discusses the importance of protein and weightlifting for improving one’s body composition and increasing muscle mass. He explains how he would prescribe different training and nutrition programs for two hypothetical clients—a 50-year-old female who is entering menopause and wants to improve her health, and a 40-to-50-year-old male who wants to maximize muscle mass. Additionally, Layne discusses a number of supplements that could potentially benefit a training program including whey protein, branch chain amino acids, creatine, nitric oxide boosters, and more.

    We discuss:

    • Defining energy balance and the role of calories [2:30];
    • Defining a calorie, whether they are all created equal, and how much energy you can extract from the food you eat [8:00];
    • Factors influencing total daily energy expenditure [12:15]:
    • The challenge of tracking energy expenditure accurately, and the thermic effect of different macronutrients [23:30];
