All Resources From This Episode"Changing a habit is not about willpower. We don't really have willpower. What we do have is awareness. We can't think our way out of a habit because that's not how they form. We have to feel our way out." — Dr. Jud Brewer
"Addiction is habits. And the behavior that we have is driven by feeling unpleasant and we want it to go away. Often we get this brief relief but it's actually perpetuating the cycle. And it's just feeding the want of wanting to feel better instead of meeting the need for connection. We're just putting band aids upon band aids because we don't know how our brains work." — Dr. Jud Brewer
"We're all hallucinating our world. We're generating our world. We're creating a story of the world every moment that is based on our past experience." — Dr. Jud Brewer
Josh's Trusted Products | Up To 40% OffDr. Jud Brewer, MD, PhD, is a pioneering psychiatrist and neuroscientist whose breakthrough fMRI studies first revealed how mindfulness training quiets the brain’s default-mode network, linking reduced self-referential thinking to improved attention and emotional regulation.
His lab has mapped the neural circuitry of craving and habit, demonstrating that mindfulness-based interventions can halve relapse rates in smoking cessation compared to gold-standard behavioral programs.
With over 15,000 citations to his name, Dr. Jud continues to translate cutting-edge neurobiological insights into transformative strategies for mental health and habit change.
