Neuroscientist Rachel Barr joins Dr. David Friedman to discuss her book How to Make Your Brain Your Best Friend, exploring how we can retrain our minds to reduce negativity, stress, and self-criticism. Drawing from personal loss and professional insight, she emphasizes the power of sleep, real-life social connection, creativity, and small daily joys—or “microdoses of delight”—to improve mental health. Instead of chasing constant productivity or perfection, she encourages embracing imperfection, novelty, and presence to build a brain that supports rather than sabotages us.
