Dr. Andrew Huberman, a Stanford University neuroscience professor, offers strategies to help entrepreneurs enhance learning, build mental resilience and unlock their brain's potential.
Dr. Huberman recommends a pattern of breathing, the physiological sigh, from yogic traditions, as the fastest way to take the nervous system from a heightened alertness, stress or panic, to calmness.
Dr. Huberman suggests Non-Sleep Deep Rest (NSDR), a derivative of yoga nidra, which leads to a resting state somewhere between asleep and awake, as a tool to rapidly destress and restore mental and physical vigor besides sleep.
Dr. Huberman advises that self-testing, writing down takeaways after learning sessions, is the best way to remember things that are learned.
Dr. Huberman offers multiple strategies to help retain cognitive function as you age, including regular cardiovascular exercise and good quality sleep.
He also says the brain and body relationship is essential, and it's essential to find a like-minded community for success.
