EP6 - ANDREW HUBERMAN & ALCOHOL

Stumbled upon Andrew Huberman not too long ago... Host of The Huberman Lab Podcast. His 2 hour episode on alcohol blew my mind and conveniently crossed my path during a time of deep contemplation towards my relationship with alcohol!I have been drinking since high school... but lord knows I am no longer in high school! Allow me to riddle you with thoughts about my relationship with alcohol throughout the years to the present and at the end we can blend in some science revolving around the negative impacts of alcohol on our bodies and brain.In no way shape or form is this me being a prude or riding my high horse judging those who like to drink... Andrew Huberman says the same and does the same... we are both simply highlighting the facts... and for me this is a personal soapbox rant that hopefully can relate and assist those going through similar conflicts with their relationship to alcohol. 

Enjoy. Or not.

Yours truly.

Episode 5: SAM HARRIS & CARING ABOUT FREE WILL

Talkin' some shit about Sam Harris... and free will.

Episode 4: JORDAN PETERSON & CLEANING YOUR ROOM

Today we introduce you to Jordan Peterson and dive into his book 12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos... specifically... Rule 6: Setting Your House in Perfect Order.

We talk about his breakdown of the psychological viewpoints of mass shooters and how setting your house in order and cleaning your room should be an individual's primary focus first and foremost before organizing the world. 

Mr. Peterson preaches to not become resentful and bitter towards others without getting your shit together first... Contrary to these psychopathic mass shooters who believe it's society's fault first and that they are the narcissistic purveyors of truth who will solve these problems via destruction and terror.   I believe gratitude plays a role in all of this as well... 

Allow me to give my thoughts on what I am grateful for... and how my gratitude mantras help me when I feel down in the dumps with my first world problems! Coupling this perspective with actionable habits towards bettering myself has done wonders for me during the low times in my life and hopefully you take notes... Maybe it can help you as well!

Enjoy. Or not.

Yours truly,
