Content Shares

Awesome things I’ve recently listening to, read and watched

It’s been a while since I’ve done one of these. In fact, I wasn’t sure I’d do another. However, I’ve stumbled across some fantastic pieces of content lately, and really wanted to share them.

Death and the Present Moment by Sam Harris (Article | 20 min read)

A transcript from a talk Sam Harris did at the 2012 Global Atheist Convention. I challenge you to read this and not want to make some changes to your life.

I can relate. As I’ve gotten older, I’ve had to get my head around not being able to do things I used to be able to do – and to instead lean into things that are good for me, based on where I am now.

Yeah, I’m biased at 44, but this is exactly how I feel.

I’ve been using run-walk-run for a while now to get my zone 2 cardio in. It’s a fantastic way to cover longer distances and times, without beating up the body. And it’s the perfect way for anyone to start getting into running.

I’ve been procrastinating on investing in myself recently. This was a nice nudge to not over-think them, and to just go for it.

An inspiring goal to work towards. It’s less about this being the exact way to be, and more about realising the freedom that allows a choice like this.

I’m going through some of this at the moment – my training, morning routine etc. I felt bad at first, but this reminded me that it’s just part of life and to embrace it.

One of the best TV shows I’ve watched in a long time. Gripping from the first to the last episode!

Health and longevity top picks #1

I read and listen to a lot of stuff every week (articles, podcasts, videos, books etc.). I like to think I’m good at finding content that helps shift my thinking in a significant way, and also gives practical advice. Things I can implement today, which immediately make a positive change in my life.

I used to send my favourite pieces of content as part of a fortnightly newsletter, but I retired it last year.

Last week I stumbled on a few things that I think are so good, I just had to share them. You can find them below.

I won’t bring the newsletter back, but I will round up the best of the best in a post like this from time to time.

Huberman AI

Andrew Huberman is a Neuroscientist and his podcast Huberman Lab is one of the most popular health podcasts. He dives deep into scientific topics around health and longevity and has some really smart guests on.

A guy called Riley Tomasek created Huberman AI, a website that uses AI to pull answers from Huberman Lab episodes. The quality of the answers are mind blowing. This might be the best free, online resource for finding information on health and longevity

For example, ask ‘How much magnesium should I take?’ and you’ll get the following answer, and five links to specific places on previous episodes where magnesium dosing is discussed:

The food I Eat 100% affects how my whole day goes by Joe Rogan

Joe Rogan completely kills it in this short clip where he talks about how the foods you eat affect how you feel. I was on the edge a bit today for staying on the right side of good and bad foods, and this gave me the inspiration to stay on the right side!
