This video is unbelievably valuable!
Huberman has lost all credibility. Can’t believe he’s joined CBS as a contributor. Talking about how he doesn’t get a flu vaccine misleads the general population who have to interact with a lot of people on a daily basis.
The best time to work is in sleep 😂
Its the tactile sensation of the water on your skin. Like tiny drums pulling your focus into the present.
