W.I.N. Wednesday: 3-2-1. Things to ponder read and listen to.
Three quotes to ponder:
"A real friend is one who walks in when the rest of the world walks out."
Walter Winchell
“The greatest obstacle to knowledge is not ignorance; it is the illusion of knowledge.”
Daniel Boorstin
“It ain’t what you don’t know that gets you in trouble. It’s what you know for sure that just ain’t so.”
Mark Twain
Two Book Recommendations:
Why We Get Sick: The Hidden Epidemic at the Root of Most Chronic Disease―and How to Fight It By Benjamin Bikman Ph.D.
Think Like a Rocket Scientist: Simple Strategies You Can Use to Make Giant Leaps in Work and Life By Ozan Varol
If you are not a big reader you can find interviews with Benjamin Bikman talking about the impact of insulin resistance on our health (he also has an informative Instagram page) online. I enjoyed his interview with Max Lugavere for The Genius Life podcast. There are also interviews online with Ozan Varol talking about the value of thinking like a rocket scientist. I enjoyed his interview with Brett McKay for The Art of Manliness podcast.
A Scientist Worth Listening to:
I have watched or listened to 14 interviews with Andrew Huberman Ph.D. over the last number of months and spent time on his Instagram page watching a number of the short videos he posts to explain neuroscience. Huberman is a professor in the Department of Neurobiology at the Stanford University School of Medicine. I am interested in gleaning information and strategies from Huberman’s work that I can incorporate into my training programs. I like Huberman’s way of explaining the functions of the brain and the nervous system and his commitment to get the message out to those of us who are not academics. If you do a search for “Andrew Huberman interviews” you will find at least 20 interviews he has done over the past two or three years. I personally got a lot out of the interviews for the Maxout podcast with Ed Mylett, Broken Brain with Dhru Purohit, Spartan Up with Joe De Sena and the Rich Roll podcast. You can likely find an interview done by your favorite podcaster.
What’s Important Now? There is value in spending time pondering, reading, listening, reflecting, learning and striving to connect the dots between what you are learning and what you learned previously.
