In this episode, we dive deep into understanding the intricacies of the human brain and its impact on our daily decisions, discipline, and motivation. Joining me is Dr. Siddharth Warrier, Neurologist, Public Speaker and Content Creator as we unravel the science behind why our brain struggles with long-term goals, the tiring nature of conscious decision-making, and the effects of multitasking.

We explore the celebrated yet paralyzing emotion of love, the modern marshmallow test involving our smartphone habits, and the neuroscience of motivation driven by dopamine. We also discuss the physical and mental interplay in achieving discipline, the impact of loneliness, and the essential role of friendships in shaping our lives.

We discuss the dark aspects of our personality and the emotional regulation necessary for sound decision-making. Join us for a discussion blending science and practical advice on navigating the complexities of the human mind.
