In a recent blog, Jordan talked about “hustle culture” and how it affects our mental and physical well-being, and quality of life. Hustle culture is a term used to refer to the “rise and grind” attitude of work, work, work. It is what Jordan calls the “the ethos of constantly working your butt off in the pursuit of some vague goal, no matter the cost”.  Read the blog here: https://drleaf.com/blogs/news/why-you-don-t-need-to-hustle-to-have-a-fulfilling-life  Jordan's blog: https://www.jordanharbinger.com/why-hustle-culture-makes-you-miserable-and-how-to-break-out-of-it/  And for more info on Jordan and to listen to his podcast: https://jordanharbinger.com/start and https://jordanharbinger.com

We actually aren’t supposed to remember everything. The brain is designed to forget things that are not useful to us. In fact, trying to remember everything can cause neurochemical chaos in our neural circuitry because we are designed to selectively remember what interests us and what we need for a particular task.Read the show blog here: https://drleaf.com/blogs/news/why-we-shouldn-t-remember-everythingOFFERS FROM OUR SPONSORS:-InsideTracker: For a limited time, get 20% off the entire InsideTracker store.

As you have heard me say many times before, the brain is neuroplastic. This means it is constantly changing. We merge with our environments through our choices, including how long we decide to spend on our phone. “Thinker” time is very important, because it balances our minds, allowing us to observe our environment before we just let it influence and direct our thinkingRead the show blog here: https://drleaf.com/blogs/news/intrusive-thoughtsOFFERS FROM OUR SPONSORS:-BiOptimizer’s Magnesium Breakthrough: For an exclusive offer for my listeners go to http://www.magbreakthrough.com/leaf and use DRLEAF10 during checkout to save 10% on your order.-BetterHelp: I am proud to say that this podcast is sponsored by BetterHelp, and Cleaning Up the

In his new book Happy People Are Annoying Josh talks about how he had to face life on life’s terms, and define what happiness meant to him as a unique individual. He realized that external things like marriage, money, success, drugs, sex, or food will not fill up the “hole in the soul”.  True, lasting peace and comfort come from doing the inner work. As Josh notes, he could not use external things to medicate things deep within himself.Read the show blog here: https://drleaf.com/blogs/news/why-happy-people-are-annoying-with-actor-josh-peckGet his new book here: https://www.harpercollins.com/products/happy-people-are-annoying-josh-peck?variant=39914222223394OFF

Why do we get tired? Our nonconscious mind never stops. It’s always trying to make us aware of issues that are damaging our resilience and causing neurophysiological disruptions in our brain and body. However, the conscious mind and braindo get tired because they work on energy, like our phones. This is kind of like when we have a whole lot of apps open, the brightness is on full and we are constantly using our phone—very soon the battery will die. And, like you need to recharge your phone, you also need to recharge your brain and conscious mind.Read the show blog here: https://drleaf.com/blogs/news/3-ways-to-boost-mental-energy-when-you-tired-overwhelmedOFFERS FROM OUR SPONSORS:-NED: If you’d like to give Ned a try, Cleaning Up The Mental Mess lis
