    Brain Doctor: Why You Can't Stop Worrying Even When Nothing Is Wrong

    This week I'm joined by David Rock, neuroscientist, author and founder of the NeuroLeadership Institute, and someone who has spent 28 years answering one of the most fascinating questions in science:Why do we do what we do? And how can understanding our brain change everything? We explore human behaviour, the neuroscience of threat and reward, and what it really means to work with your brain rather than against it. Dr. David Rock coined the term neuroleadership and is the Co-founder and CEO of the NeuroLeadership Institute (NLI). The Institute is a 23-year-old cognitive science consultancy that has advised over 50% of the Fortune 100.  With operations in 24 countries, the institute brings neuroscientists and leadership experts together to make organisations better for humans through science. What we explore together: Why the brain is always making a threat or reward decision  What the SCARF model is and why it explains almost every difficult human interaction Why being interrupted feels physically painful and what your brain is actually doing How insights really work in the brain and why your best ideas come when you stop trying Why one negative comment can override dozens of positive ones and how to rewire that What sleep, glucose and rest actually do to your ability to think clearly Why status is one of the most powerful forces driving human behaviour and how to work with it Love, Sarah Ann 💛 My book 'Healthy Shouldn't Be This Hard': https://www.amazon.co.uk/Healthy-Shouldnt-Be-This-Hard-ebook/dp/B0G1DHNRV5 This episode is sponsored by:NOWATCH: The compassionate health tracker Connecting body and mind with unique stress recovery insights so you can live fully today👉 15% off with code LWBW15 at https://nowatch.com/ The Great British Veg OutHow to support your gut, energy, and hormones by eating more — not less.👉 https://sarahmacklin.substack.com/p/t… Reset Your HealthIf your body feels off after stress, travel, or burnout — this is where to start.👉 https://sarahmacklin.substack.com/s/r... 👉 Practical beats perfect.

    Why Finding Yourself Is Overrated: Arthur C. Brooks' Guide To Real Happiness

    This week I'm joined by Arthur C. Brooks, Harvard professor, bestselling author and one of the world's leading experts on the science of human happiness, and someone who has spent his life answering one of the most fundamental questions we all ask and what does it actually mean to live well? We explore happiness, meaning, love and what the science really says about building a life that feels worth living. Arthur Brooks is a professor at Vanderbilt University and senior fellow at Harvard Business School. He is the author of 16 books including three number one New York Times bestsellers. He has spent decades studying happiness not as a feeling but as a skill and teaching people how to practise it. What we explore together: Why happiness is not a destination and what the arrival fallacy is really costing youThe four idols your brain tells you will make you happy and why they never doWhat the neuroscience of love actually looks like and the two things that keep couples bondedHow the failure journal works and why writing down your disappointments makes you happierWhy meaning and happiness are not the same thing and which one actually lastsWhat it means to love and be loved and why Arthur believes that's the whole answerLove, Sarah Ann 💛 My book 'Healthy Shouldn't Be This Hard': https://www.amazon.co.uk/Healthy-Shouldnt-Be-This-Hard-ebook/dp/B0G1DHNRV5 This episode is sponsored by:NOWATCH: The compassionate health tracker Connecting body and mind with unique stress recovery insights so you can live fully today👉 15% off with code LWBW15 at https://nowatch.com/ The Great British Veg Out👉 https://sarahmacklin.substack.com/p/t… Reset Your Health👉 https://sarahmacklin.substack.com/s/r... 👉 Free 5-recipe PDF: https://sarahannmacklin.com/5_free_recipes 👉 The Compassionate Cure: https://sarahmacklin.substack.com/ Let's be friends!📷 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sarahannmacklin/📹 Subscribe: https://youtube.com/@livewellbewellsarah🐦 Twitter: https://x.com/SarahAnnMacklin📱 TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@livewellbewellpodcast💌 Newsletter: https://sarahmacklin.substack.com/ Chapters00:00 Introduction02:59 Arthur's personal journey and finding purpose05:59 How grief can be a doorway to meaning09:07 Why knowing everything doesn't make you happy15:04 What Stoicism teaches us about happiness20:57 The four idols — money, pleasure, power, fame23:57 Why the four idols are a dangerous trap33:00 Arthur's worst day and what it taught him38:57 The arrival fallacy42:03 The neuroscience of dopamine48:00 The failure journal54:07 The neuroscience of love — oxytocin, touch and eye contact57:03 How to keep connection alive long term65:58 Why the silent treatment is so damaging72:02 How your emotions are made in the brain78:00 Finding meaning beyond achievement87:08 Where Sarah is two years on93:00 What saved Viktor Frankl98:28 Final thoughts on living well and being well
