How to Create an Unstoppable Brain With Dr. Kyra Bobinet
Manage episode 483830511 series 86190
Our brains are incredibly powerful, and the trick is to learn how to make them work for us, not against us. This week, host Paula Felps sits down with Dr. Kyra Bobinet, a physician, public health leader, and behavior change designer whose work focuses on how to build optimal health for a more fulfilling life. Her new book, Unstoppable Brain: The New Neuroscience That Frees Us From Failure, Eases Our Stress, and Creates Lasting Change explores a relatively new area of study that changes what we know about how our brain influences our habits, self-care, and addictions — and how we can use these findings to improve our well-being.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- The role of the habenula in losing our motivation and managing failure.
- How growing up in trauma hijacks our brains and heightens our reactivity.
- How social media and doomscrolling affect your brain — and how an iterative mindset can help you get unstuck.
