How to Increase Your Willpower & Tenacity

Huberman Lab

In this episode, I discuss neuroscience and psychology studies that address the basis of willpower and tenacity, how they differ from motivation and how we can all increase our levels of willpower and tenacity. I discuss whether willpower is a limited resource, the controversial “ego depletion” theory of willpower and the role that beliefs play in determining our tenacity and willpower. Then, I discuss the neural basis of willpower in the brain and body and how tenacity and willpower relate to sleep, stress, focus, and possibly lifespan. Then, I provide a series of science-supported tools and protocols to increase your level of tenacity and willpower.For show notes, including referenced articles and additional resources, please visit <a href="https://www.hubermanlab.com/episode/how-to-increase-your-willpower-and-tenacity" rel="nofollow">hubermanlab.com</a>.Use <a href="https://ai.hubermanlab.com/s/n9HlZZVi" rel="nofollow">Ask Huberman Lab</a>, our new AI-powered platform, for a summary, clips, and insights from this episode.<h2>Thank you to our sponsors</h2>AG1 (Athletic Greens): <a href="https://go.hubermanlab.com/ag1BC" rel="nofollow">https://athleticgreens.com/huberman</a>LMNT: <a href="https://go.hubermanlab.com/lmntBC" rel="nofollow">https://drinklmnt.com/huberman</a>Waking Up: <a href="https://go.hubermanlab.com/wakingupBC" rel="nofollow">https://wakingup.com/huberman</a>Momentous: <a href="https://go.hubermanlab.com/momentousBC" rel="nofollow">https://www.livemomentous.com/huberman</a><h2>Timestamps</h2>(00:00:00) Tenacity & Willpower(00:01:36) Sponsors: LMNT & Waking Up(00:03:49) Tenacity & Willpower vs. Habit Execution; Apathy, Depression & Motivation (00:10:40) Ego Depletion & Willpower as a Limited Resource; Controversy (00:19:14) Tool: Autonomic Function, Tenacity & Willpower; Sleep & Stress (00:28:31) Sponsor: AG1(00:28:58) Willpower as a Limited Resource (Theory)(00:35:36) Willpower & Glucose, Brain Energetics(00:42:44) Beliefs about Willpower & Glucose; Multiple Challenges(00:54:01) Willpower Brain ‘Hub’; Anorexia Nervosa, Super-Agers(01:07:15) Anterior Midcingulate Cortex & Brain/Body Communication (01:14:54) Allostasis, Anterior Midcingulate Cortex Function(01:25:19) Anterior Mid-Cingulate Cortex (aMCC), Difficult Tasks & Neuroplasticity(01:29:30) Tool: Novel Physical Exercise & Brain; Cognitive Exercise(01:43:43) Tool: “Micro-sucks”, Increase Tenacity/Willpower(01:50:58) Impossible Tasks, Super-Agers & Learning, Will to Live(01:57:23) Tool: Rewards & Improving Tenacity/Willpower(02:01:07) Tenacity & Willpower Recap(02:05:55) Zero-Cost Support, Spotify & Apple Reviews, Sponsors, YouTube Feedback, Momentous, Social Media, Neural Network NewsletterTitle Card Photo Credit: <a href="https://www.blabacphoto.com/" rel="nofollow">Mike Blabac</a><a href="https://www.hubermanlab.com/disclaimer" rel="nofollow">Disclaimer</a>

Brought to you by Sundays for Dogs ultra-high-quality dog food, AG1 all-in-one nutritional supplement, and Shopify global commerce platform, providing tools to start, grow, market, and manage a retail business. Sam Corcos (@samcorcos) is the CEO and Co-founder of Levels, an a16z-backed startup that shows you how food affects your health using continuous glucose monitors and other biosensors. Please enjoy! * This episode is brought to you by Sundays for Dogs, ultra-high-quality dog food without the prep or mess! I want to give my pooch, Molly, the best of everything. This is especially true when it comes to the ingredient quality of her food. But most healthy dog foods are an expensive, frozen mess. They’re a hassle to thaw and serve, and the prep work eats up time I’d rather spend hiking with Molly. Sundays for Dogs solves my problem with air-dried, high-quality dog food I can store and pour right from my pantry. The magic behind Sundays for Dogs is in their proprietary air-drying method. To lock in nutrients, they gently dry the meat, low and slow. Unlike other dry brands, which are filled with hyper-processed grains and synthetic vitamins, Sundays for Dogs uses only all-natural poultry and USDA-grade beef. And meat makes up 90% of their recipes. The other 10% are fruits and veggies, ingredients you’d find at the farmer’s market, not at the pharmacy. Get 35% off your first order of Sundays for Dogs by going to SundaysForDogs.com/TIM or by using code TIM at checkout. Upgrade your pup to Sundays for Dogs and feel great about the food you feed your best friend. * This episode is also brought to you by AG1!

Terry Crews (@terrycrews) can do it all: author, action-movie hero, sitcom star, children’s book illustrator, advertising pitchman, playable video game character, talent show host, high-end furniture designer, and human rights activist. The list goes on and on. Terry’s new memoir is Tough: My Journey to True Power. In it, he chronicles the story of how he went from being a six-year-old boy with a goofy, toothless smile to being utterly selfish and angry to being a man who can finally acknowledge his own weaknesses and vulnerabilities and use his experiences to help motivate those around him. Terry has starred as a series regular in three consecutive TV series that have surpassed the coveted 100-episode mark: Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Are We There Yet? and Everybody Hates Chris. Terry is set to star in Tales of the Walking Dead and hosts NBC’s top-rated alternative series America’s Got Talent and its spin-offs, AGT Champions and AGT Extreme. He recently added yet another title, children’s book illustrator, to his resume for his first-of-its-kind augmented reality book, Come Find Me. Terry’s Crew is Terry’s latest children’s lit entry, a graphic novel set to be released in November 2022. Terry’s Crew provides insight into his childhood in Michigan and what it was like trying to find his place. In 2021, Terry and his wife, Rebecca King Crews, released an exclusive Audible audiobook, Stronger Together, sharing the staggering ups and downs of their relationship and how they have weathered the myriad crises that have rocked their marriage. Terry, a lifelong artist, released his furniture collection with Bernhardt Designs in 2017, which premiered at the International Contemporary Furniture Fair in New York and was awarded the prestigious “Best of NeoCon 2017.” Please enjoy!

After ABC News anchor Dan Harris (@danbharris) had a nationally televised panic attack on Good Morning America in 2004, he knew he had to make some changes.

A lifelong nonbeliever, meditation was something Dan always assumed to be either impossible or useless.In 2014, Dan published the book 10% Happier, which takes readers on a ride from the outer reaches of neuroscience to the inner sanctum of network news to the bizarre fringes of America’s spiritual scene and leaves them with a takeaway that could actually change their lives. In 2017, Dan followed up with Meditation for Fidgety Skeptics: A 10% Happier How-To Book.In 2016, Dan launched the 10% Happier company with co-founders Ben Rubin, CEO, and Derek Haswell, VP Product.

Imagine if the loss of heart size and the stiffness that often comes with aging could be reversed, even well into late middle-age. And not by a little - by a lot. Today's guest, Dr. Benjamin Levine, has shown that with the right exercise protocol, people who were sedentary most of their lives could reverse up to 20 years of heart aging. Dr. Levine is one of the world's leading experts in understanding how the heart adapts under a variety of conditions, whether that's exercise, elite athleticism, or hospital bedrest. Or even highly exotic conditions, like prolonged exposure to microgravity. He is the founding director of the Institute for Exercise and Environmental Medicine at UT Southwestern in Dallas, a leading facility renowned for its research in cardiovascular physiology. His expertise also extends into space medicine, where he advises NASA, underscoring his broad, deeply fundamental understanding of how the heart changes over time. Additionally, he is a recognized authority in sports cardiology, consulting for organizations such as the NCAA, NFL, NHL, and various professional sports leagues. In this episode, we discuss: (00:06:21) Are 3 weeks of bed rest worse for fitness than 30 years of aging? (00:10:08) Why untrained individuals recover fitness faster than athletes following bed rest (00:11:40) Does exercise protect against long COVID? (00:14:31) "COVID triad testing" guidelines for evaluating heart health in athletes (00:16:17) Why strict bed rest is a model for space flight (00:17:14) How 12 weeks of bed rest affects heart size (00:18:42) Why a brand-new rubber band mimics a lifetime of endurance training (00:22:14) The exercise dose that preserves youthful cardiovascular structure (00:24:22) The exercise regimen that reversed 20 years of heart aging (00:28:05) What it takes to reverse vascular age by 15 years in 70-year-olds (00:33:29) Benefits of starting an exercise regimen in your 70s [benefits that don't involve cardiac remodeling] (00:39:17) Considering the risks of high-intensity exercise (00:42:42) Balancing high-intensity & moderate-intensity training (00:47:39) Training for health vs. training for performance (00:48:47) Why muscle mass & cardiorespiratory fitness are like retirement funds (00:49:58) Make exercise a part of your personal hygiene (00:51:01) Why does VO2 max correlate with longevity? (00:58:29) The 2018 JAMA study on cardiorespiratory fitness & mortality (01:04:06) How does change in fitness over time affect mortality? (01:06:19) Why exercise non-responders should consider "increasing the dose" (01:10:08) The 2 limiting factors for improving VO2 max in competitive athletes (01:13:05) How marathon training affects heart size in sedentary young people (01:17:20) Heart adaptations in purely strength-trained vs. endurance athletes (01:23:09) Why pure strength-trainers should incorporate endurance training (01:26:53) How strength training affects blood pressure (exercise pressor reflex) (01:31:27) How exercise influences cardiac output in mitochondrial myopathy patients (01:33:25) Does CrossFit count as endurance training? (01:35:50) What's the best exercise for improving blood pressure? (01:40:57) Lifestyle strategies for treating hypertension (01:43:26) Why recovery is key to reaping the benefits of a training stimulus (01:47:22) The best indicator of being overtrained (01:48:22) Heart rate brackets & running pace estimates for training zones 2-5 (01:54:46) Why heart rate variability is a poor indicator of recovery (02:00:02) Why do men tend to be faster runners than women?

You’ll get plenty of that in this special episode, which features my interview with Stewart Copeland from my 2017 TV Show Fear{less}. The “less” is in parentheses because the objective is to teach you to fear less, not to be fearless. Fear{less} features in-depth, long-form conversations with top performers, focusing on how they’ve overcome fears and made hard decisions, embracing discomfort and thinking big. It was produced by Wild West Productions, and I worked with them to make both the video and audio available to you for free, my dear listeners. You can find the video of this episode on YouTube.com/TimFerriss, and eventually you’ll be able to see all episodes for free at YouTube.com/TimFerriss. Spearheaded by actor/producer and past podcast guest Vince Vaughn, Wild West Productions has produced a string of hit movies including The Internship, Couples Retreat, Four Christmases, and The Break-Up. In 2020, Wild West produced the comedy The Opening Act, starring Jimmy O. Yang and Cedric The Entertainer. In addition to Fear{less}, their television credits include Undeniable with Joe Buck, ESPN’s 30 for 30 episode about the ’85 Bears, and the Netflix animated show F is for Family. Please enjoy! * This episode is brought to you by “5-Bullet Friday,” my very own email newsletter that every Friday features five bullet points highlighting cool things I’ve found that week, including apps, books, documentaries, gadgets, albums, articles, TV shows, new hacks or tricks, and—of course—all sorts of weird stuff I’ve dug up from around the world. It’s free, it’s always going to be free, and you can subscribe now at tim.blog/friday. * On Letterman and lions: Stewart details the only two drum solos he’s done in his life (and, for the sake of participation, I share mine). [05:28] The great thing about taking risks with music? It’s not paragliding. How does Stewart introduce a new musician to having fun with music without worrying about the consequences of making mistakes? [10:30] With a father who was both a jazz musician and a CIA agent, what was Stewart’s childhood like? [14:09] What initially drew Stewart to music, and how did his first gig go? How did these early forays into music abroad affect his evolution as a musician? [16:25] How Stewart became the drummer for a band he was managing and married the singer in what looks, on paper, like a series of Machiavellian, Game of Thrones-style power moves. [20:55] How did The Police come together as a band? [23:04] During the early days of The Police, what did Stewart and his bandmates imagine success might look like? What milestones inched them closer to realizing this success? [27:08] How does Stewart prepare for a gig? [29:52] Why being in The Police was often like wearing “a Prada suit made out of barbed wire.” [32:27] Circumstances that might trigger the righteous anger by which Stewart finds himself invigorated. [36:41] Examples of good things that have happened to Stewart simply by saying “Yes.” [39:37] How did Stewart wind up scoring Rumble Fish for Francis Ford Coppola? [41:13] How does Stewart define success? [43:27] Stewart’s advice for anyone from a rock and roll musical background who wants to pursue film scoring. [44:33] Stewart’s advice for a budding musician trying to get their foot in the door of today’s entertainment industry, and how the process differs from when Stewart was just getting started. [46:22] What music does Stewart find particularly interesting from today’s roster of artists? [48:42] On favorite failures as a concept. [51:47] What Stewart’s billboard would say, and parting thoughts for the audience. [52:42] * For show notes and past guests, please visit tim.blog/
