Episode 601: Behavior Change, Brain Science, and Fear with Dr. Kyra Bobinet Make Some Noise with Andrea Owen

    • Automiglioramento

This week, we are exploring the fascinating realm of brain science and behavior patterns with our special guest, Kyra Bobinet, MD, MPH. Dr. Bobinet has dedicated a significant portion of her career to studying the intricacies of the human brain and how it influences our behavior. 
At the heart of our discussion lies the habenula, a crucial brain region implicated in fear, motivation, and behavior control. Dr. Bobinet sheds light on how tapping into the power of the habenula can help us neutralize failure and unleash our inner wisdom and strength.
You’ll hear:

The habenula (a part of the brain) and its connection to fear, motivation, and the most powerful behavior controller that we face. (6:10)

The solution to chronic anxiety of failing and negativity bias (16:08)

How standard methods like tracking, dieting, and goal-setting often backfire by triggering the habenula’s “failure detection” (28:22)

Iteration is the solution. “Everything is performative; we need to make it iteration.” (32:16)
