In this episode of Gents Talk, supported by Bulova (E#178), host Samir Mourani sits down with Ariel Garten — neuroscientist, psychotherapist, and co-founder of Muse — for a mind-expanding conversation about how the brain really works, why we think the way we do, and how understanding our neural wiring can transform the way we live.

This isn’t about overthinking your life. It’s about finally understanding it — and learning to work with your brain, not against it.

💬 What we cover:

• Why your brain creates certain thought patterns — and how to interrupt the unhelpful ones

• How the prefrontal cortex shapes decision-making, confidence, and emotional control

• The neuroscience behind anxiety and overthinking (and how awareness reduces both)

• Practical tools to think clearer, feel better, and build a more intentional life

• Why “training your brain” isn’t a metaphor — it’s biology

If you’ve ever wondered why you feel the way you do, struggled with overthinking, or wanted to understand the science behind self-improvement, this episode is a must-listen. It’s insightful, practical, and a reminder that your brain isn’t your enemy — it’s your most powerful tool once you learn how to use it.
