## Resource

What if I told you that your brain is being hijacked constantly (and not just in the ways that you might think). There are 4 forces in modern life that are rewiring your brain RIGHT NOW. In fact, your brain is continuously rewiring itself. BUT we CAN have control over how it rewires and improve our thoughts, happiness, and overall life. So today I sit down with Dr. David Eagleman, a Stanford neuroscientist (whose work actually inspired my famous “The Novelty Rule”) to share the latest neuroscience research and translate it into practical tools you can use immediately to help you take control of your brain health and feel so much better about your technology addiction, your anxiety or depression, your concerns around AI changing our thinking, and so much more. You’ll leave feeling surprisingly optimistic with the data he shares, so get excited. 🎧 What you’ll learn: • One tiny change you can make today to wake your brain up • The surprising link between routine and cognitive decline • How to "microdose novelty" to slow down time, sharpen your brain, and build resilience • The "Ulysses Contract" trick to outsmart your phone • A new breakthrough one-day treatment to stop past trauma from running your mind • Why AI might actually make our thinking smarter if we use it in the right way Check out the previous episode of The Liz Moody Podcast discussed today: The Novelty Rule: How To Use My Neuroscience Hack That’s Changing Millions Of Lives For more from David Eagleman: • Website: https://eagleman.com/ • Books: https://eagleman.com/books/ • Podcast: https://eagleman.com/podcast/ Ready to uplevel every part of your life?
