“Neuro Discipline” by Peter Hollins - Book PReview - Neuroscience for Self-Discipline

from Master of Life Awareness 🧠 · host Igor Turkusic - SF Walker

Neuro Discipline by Peter Hollins tells the tale of two battling brains, and why we are predisposed to laziness and energy conservation. Time after time, we take the path of least resistance to our detriment. The key to beating this is understanding the brain’s imperatives and working with them. Our brains are not wired for goal achievement. They are wired only for speed, survival, and the present moment.Neuroscience for Self-Discipline00:00 Intro01:17 Welcome, my name is...02:44 The setup of the brain - The triune brain theory05:11 Another way to think about the arrangement of the brains06:26 The brain is a network07:09 The Pleasure Principle08:37 Our perceptions of pleasure and pain 09:55 Emotion beats logic11:30 Brain is simply not wired for discipline12:36 Mel Robbins’ now-famous Five Second Rule14:24 Let go of old excuses15:29 The imperatives of the brain (that we must defeat)17:01 OLD ZEN Saying & The Best Part18:04 Temptation Bundling is...20:14 Remember, “what gets rewarded gets repeated.” 21:25 It turns out that we need to trick the brain22:55 Self-discipline is24:36 WE MUST address27:00 There is a great paradox28:03 Self-discipline is at its core...28:44 AND..."Neuro Discipline" by Peter Hollins - Book PReviewBook of the Week - BOTW - Season 9 Book 13Buy the book on Amazon https://amzn.to/47NwFScGET IT.
