Welcome to Decode Your Burnout! In this episode, we're joined by Dan Lieberman, a distinguished psychologist and author, to explore the role of dopamine in our motivation and sense of reward, and how it impacts our well-being.     Dopamine is often associated with pleasure and reward, but Lieberman debunks the common myths surrounding this neurotransmitter and explains how it can contribute to burnout. By understanding the role of dopamine in our brain's reward system, we can develop effective strategies to prevent burnout and improve our self-care routine.     Our discussion covers a range of topics, including: - The difference between pain and suffering - The desire circuit versus the control circuit, and  - The importance of mental time travel and dream incubation.    Lieberman also provides insights on how to manage dopamine levels and come out of dopamine-induced burnout. Additionally, we explore the value of criticism and how we can reframe negative feedback to our advantage. By cultivating a growth mindset and learning from our mistakes, we can enhance our sense of reward and motivation. Tune in to this episode of Decode Your Burnout to learn practical strategies for preventing burnout and enhancing your well-being. Join us as we explore the complex interplay between dopamine, motivation, and self-care!

While reading Spellbound by Dr. Dan Lieberman, who I interviewed in the last episode, I was struck by the sentence, “The purpose of life is to become your true self”. I have been thinking about that a lot and, in this episode, I share some of my thoughts. Highlights Although you may share some characteristics with other people, no one is exactly like you. You are totally unique and perfect the way you are. We are programmed to always be looking for people like us, yet it is our differences that can make life interesting. I don't think that our uniqueness has been celebrated enough. A lot of our societal loneliness is due to people not knowing how to know love themself. We aren't taught to appreciate our differences. For business people, our businesses are an opportunity for us to learn more about ourselves. Because of the Covid pause, a lot of people are evaluating their lives and what's important to them. They're also asking, “What do I want to do now and who do I want to be or become?” I talk about the process I've been going through in putting together my new business. In business, we have to learn how to interact with other people who are not us. Everything you do in business is your opportunity to learn more about who you are, your values, and who you were willing to be in the world. Giving ourselves permission for self-exploration is one of the greatest gifts we can give to ourselves. You have the right to love and take care of yourself. Each one of us is given what we need to become who we're becoming, and that's different for every person. You have the opportunity to ask yourself, “What do I want to keep and what do I want to change?” It's important to not judge that which you want to change as bad. Getting in touch with yourself is one of the most important things you can do. Links Spellbound: Modern Science, Ancient Magic, and the Hidden Potential of the Unconscious Mind Dr. Daniel Z.

Dr. Dan Lieberman is a Clinical Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at George Washington University. He is the Co-author of the international bestseller The Molecule of More, which has been translated into 20 languages. He is also the Author of the recently published Spellbound: Modern Science, Ancient Magic, and the Hidden Potential of the Unconscious Mind. Highlights Dr. Lieberman explains how his interest in the topics found in his new book started in the 1980s when he stumbled upon the works of Carl Jung and was blown away. He doesn't talk about synchronicity because he wanted to talk about mysticism from a scientific viewpoint. In his book, Dr. Lieberman says that “the purpose of life is to become your true self”. This is harder than it sounds because we tend to learn through suffering. The unconscious mind has a profound effect on how we experience life and who we are. The pain and suffering of life exists in the service of growth. “The shadow” part of us forms when we push away all the things that we think is wrong to be. But at some point, we have to deal with this shadow. The more we allow ourselves to feel the darkness within ourselves, the easier it is to let it go. The polarization that is happening now is because people are afraid to acknowledge their shadow. The closer we get to our true self the more unique we become. Cultivating awareness is essential. Inspiration can change the course of our life. Inspiration can change history. The vast majority of our lives is driven by our unconscious. Dr. Lieberman talks about the three forms of meditation that he discusses in his book including focused awareness. Links Dr. Daniel Z. Lieberman's website Dr. Daniel Z. Lieberman's LinkedIn

I'm on vacation for the month in Costa Rica trying to hit pause, but I just finished a book, and as I was going through it and putting my notes into my computer, I figured it could be cool to do a book summary. Main take-aways, important arguments, interesting opinions, and anything else I feel was valuable after reading. So in this one I'm going to talk about The Story of the Human Body by Harvard Professor Dan Lieberman. My roommate took his class this semester that basically went through the book and from overhearing his lectures, I was intrigued. The book first outlines the human body's evolution - how the search for food and the globe's climate change together shaped us into the bodies we have today. Then, Part II looks at how the Agricultural and Industrial Revolutions greatly changed our environments - which is not good since we evolved for a very different way of life. Lastly, Part III explains how modern ailments - from diabetes to flat feet - can be understood from our evolution and what we can do to change the direction of a largely unhealthy future. So, with that said, please enjoy!

This week's guest is Harvard University Professor of Biological Sciences, Dan Lieberman. If you've heard of Dan it will probably be in connection with his work around whether we are born to run, i.e. that a number of specific evolutionary adaptations that we as a species have acquired over time have enabled us to be really rather good at running for long distances. This hinted that our survival was aided by our ability to hunt by wearing animals down, known as the persistence hunting.  Dan has a new book out called Exercised, which as Dan explains is cutely entitled because so many people are so exercised about exercise, I expect you can think of many people that have opinions that are so specific and adamant that one way is the best way. The book takes a broader view, reminding us of our biological origins, why we do sports and exercise, what we're good and not so good at and Dan takes aim at a few current myths like sitting being the new smoking, step counts and how much exercise is enough - in so doing Dan widens our perspective to a healthier, compassionate view of physical activity.   Show notes: Pigs on treadmills. Research trip to Sierra and finding an older equivalent of the Ironman Exercise is abnormal, if just for the sake of health and fitness Why the Tarahumara Native Americans are famous for their long distance running No-one evolved to run as fast as possible from A to B  We have become exercised about exercise Is there an optimal form of exercise?

If exercise is healthy, why do many people dislike or avoid it? Is sitting really the new smoking? Can you lose weight by walking? Does running ruin your knees? Should we do weights, cardio, or high-intensity training? Professor of human evolutionary biology Dan Lieberman joined us to answer these questions and bust some common myths about exercising with insight from his book Exercised: Why Something We Never Evolved to Do Is Healthy and Rewarding. Drawing on insights from evolutionary biology and anthropology, he told the story of how and why humans evolved to walk, run, dig, and more while avoiding needless exertion but did not evolve to exercise. He argued that rather than shaming and blaming people for avoiding exercise, we should be making exercise more enjoyable. Join Lieberman as he revolutionizes the way we think about exercising, and explains why exercise can reduce our vulnerability to the diseases most likely to make us sick and kill us. Dan Lieberman is Edwin M. Lerner Professor of Biological Sciences and professor of human evolutionary biology at Harvard University.

On this episode, learn about the powerful instincts that cause us to avoid exercise even though we know it’s good for us. Dan Lieberman, author of the new book Exercised: Why Something We Never Evolved to Do Is Healthy and Rewarding, tells the story of how we never evolved to do voluntary physical activity for the sake of health, and helps us think about exercise in a whole new way.  About our guest Daniel Lieberman is a professor of human evolutionary biology at Harvard University, a member of The Leakey Foundation’s Scientific Executive Committee, and a pioneering researcher on the evolution of human physical activity. His research is on how and why the human body looks and functions the way it does. He has long been fascinated by the evolution of the human head but his main focus is currently on the evolution of human physical activity. He is especially interested in how evolutionary approaches to activities such as walking and running, as well as changes to our body’s environments (such as wearing shoes and being physically inactive) can help better prevent and treat musculoskeletal diseases. To address these problems, he integrates experimental biomechanics and physiology in both the laboratory and the field with analyses of the human fossil record.

It ties in awesomely with The Neanderthal Mind podcast, covering everything we can with Anthropology and our Ancestors, and how they have influenced our Mind, Body and Soul. Join Gaby and myself next week as we go into part two of our conversation about her podcast, and her Degree in Anthropology, and exploring the evolutionary origins of obesity through the endocrine physical activity bone axis, Gaby will explain that all to you in the episode.     Now on a personal note. Cave Dwellers, I would love to hear from you about how you feel the podcast is going. Is it what you were expecting. Are there things I can do differently to make this any better? If I don't hear from you, I can only assume that I am giving you what you want from The Neanderthal Mind. I will take all criticism that you give, and try to mold the show to your liking, but, I can't promise I will be able to do everything , everyone wants me to do, so please, email the show at theneanderthalmind@gmail.com, and go to the somewhat of a website https://www.theneanderthalmind.com, and leave me some messages. As always Cave Dwellers, sit back, relax, and enjoy this first part of two with Gaby Lapera from The AnthroBiology Podcast. See you on the Flip Side Cave Dwellers!https://www.anthrobiology.com/gaby.lapera@anthrobiology.comhttps://twitter.com/AnthroBiologyhttps://www.instagram.com/anthrobiology/

Studies in children who have been severely affected by Covid-19 in Italy, Britain and the US are showing the same thing – a range of symptoms linked to an overactive immune system. Elizabeth Whittaker from London’s Imperial College discusses the similarities in these cases and possible reasons for this syndrome with Shanna Kowalsky from Mount Sinai hospital in New York. How much should drugs for Covid-19 cost? Remdesivir, which has shown promise against the virus, has been priced at over $2000 for a course of treatment, but drug price analyst Andrew Hill says the cost of production is actually below $10. And how about some really alternative energy? Marion Cromb at Glasgow University has run an experiment to simulate a spinning black hole. In theory, a rocket sent to an equivalent real black hole could use its rotation as a power source. Shoes are a surprisingly recent human invention. But running isn’t. That means for most of our time on the planet, we’ve run barefoot. Today, in most countries, it’s rare to see people out in public without shoes, let alone running. But might our aversion to the free foot be causing us pain? CrowdScience mega-fan Hnin is an experienced runner - she enjoys ultra-marathons back home in Australia. But about six months ago she developed extreme foot pain, the condition Plantar Fasciitis, and this meant she had to stop doing what she loves. She reached out to CrowdScience presenter Chhavi Sachdev, to find out if barefoot running could reduce her pain and improve her performance. Simply put, is barefoot running better? In an attempt to find Hnin some answers, Chhavi hits the ground… running. Literally throwing off her own shoes on the streets of her home city of Mumbai, India, to see how feeling the ground can change her whole gait. And with Prof. Dan Lieberman, Chhavi learns what sets the human runner apart from other species, while uncovering the strange form our feet have. She speaks with Dr Peter Francis, a researcher whose life’s work has focused on curing the pain in his own feet and learning how to help others. But performance is also important for runners. Biomechanics and shoe expert Dr Sharon Dixon explains how modifications to the sports-shoe are helping marathon runners set records, and blade-running athlete Kiran Kanojia shows Chhavi how the technology behind her two prosthetic legs let her emulate either natural walking or natural running.

Sometimes you talk to someone whose passion just shines through their words. This was definitely the case with todays guest. He was knowledgeable about the evolution of running, and explains why we are so good at running as human beings, despite what some people think. Usually, we as runners are described as the crazy ones, especially those of us who are marathon and ultra marathoners, but our guest today explains how those who are not running are actually the crazy ones. Our bodies have evolved over the years to allow us to be great endurance runners.
