- Ideas and the power of your brain. How can we access untapped potential, at what age do we begin to face mental limitations, and where does neuroscience fit into all of this? On this episode of Conversations with Tom, New York Times bestselling author and neuroscientist David Eagleman sits down with Tom Bilyeu to answer these questions and address such matters as the neuroplasticity of the brain, the science behind ‘learning,’ how childhood is a crucial time for development, and the future of neuroscience. They discuss the flexibility of the brain at any age, where ideas originate from, the importance of affection and love to a child, how to experience major breakthroughs as an adult, the mysteries yet to be unlocked within the human brain, and what the future may look like within augmentation and neuroscience.

BRAVO DAVID. I'm an 88 year old shrink and lots of doors open up when i listen to you. I began by learning & using the classical model I was taught 45 years and just recently challenged some of Freud's ideas. Not too cool but thinking and listening out of the box grew my brain somehow. . I learned about the brain's plasticity from reading Norman Doidge's books and now you.
thank you so very much for sharing your findings - I'll be sure to spread the word in heaven someday .I just wrote a book 'The Power of Connection" which uses you ideas. And yes, i brush my teeth with my left hand. Hugs to you.

I am mostly deaf, have been for 44 years. I also experienced a very traumatic childhood. Recently new technology in hearing aids has enabled me to hear better. It has had a profound impact on my life and required some serious recalibration of my whole world to adjust. Upon receiving the aid I have noticed that all my senses have been enhanced which has changed how I perceive reality. I'm still processing and adjusting to this "new " world. There is definitely a correlation between senses and how we perceive things and they have a co mingling effect on each other. So much more to discuss on this topic. Please contact me if you wish to dive deeper into this subject matter. I am a critical thinking individual with a vibrant imagination.
Love your channel and its content. I have many, many more insights to contribute on this matter amongst others.
Great channel, thank you 🙏💜
@Fawaz A ReSound LiNX Quattro made by GN. Good luck
Hi swiftwalker. Starting (ch.3) a book called Waking the Tiger in which much is made of the impala shaking off his narrow escape from the tiger and how humans can do something similar to recover from trauma. Wow. Brave new world for you, huh. Good luck to us all.

I can relate to u interesting hearing this I'm deaf in my left ear can u post a link for hearing aid I need to push myself to get 1 I've always struggled with my learning always feeling something not quite right feeling I should be better even know I'm popular in my gardening business gd to hear from you.?
@@ryanhagen1115 I found the "ReSound LiNX Quattro" made by GN has worked wonders for me. Don't delay my friend, it will transform your life. All the best :)
I wrote about all this, and relive it day after day. The past can be your enemy. I have the answer to many of your questions, not that I am advocating your time. My Mother kept me locked away as a child. I spent most of my childhood in a basement, using a drain for my bathroom. You talk about breaking, I broke. This was a great, informative video, thanks for bringing attention to this topic. Our children need extra attention, no matter the cost.
May you continue healing from your trauma.
Omg😥. Thanks for sharing.
I hope you can go on and find healing and happiness

Tom you have literally changed my life! I got clean 13 months ago and stumbled across a motivational video by you. From there I’ve gone so deep down the rabbit hole of personal development through brain learning it’s been the best year of my life! It started with Dr. Joe And from there It’s been one mentor after another all starting with you! I love your content, I love your mission, I love you brother!

I hear 👂 you keep saying genius is a young mans game - isn’t that not true at all - worries are directly related to how freely and fast we learn,.... society has built in worries that become greater as we age,..... removing the worry free life that allows us to learn more rapidly,....!

If you're even remotely curious about the mysteries of the human mind and how it influences our daily lives, this video is a must-watch. Eagleman's insights will leave you with a profound appreciation for the incredible organ nestled inside your skull.
Obsessed with all your episodes about the brain!! You always have the most knowledgable guests!! Thank you for sharing Tom !!💙💙💙💙

We can't even explain our consciousness! Every second that goes by we learn more about our minds. Just when we think we know it all, we learn more. The mind is infinite. Knowing the "basics" of how our minds work is key. The mind is literally as infinite as the universe, the sooner we understand that, the more we understand we know nothing 🙏
*Im still amazed by how POWERFUL our brains or rather mind can be* 🙏

Getting some “Waking Life” vibes by hopping on to these conversations on CZcams. Can’t believe this stuff is monetarily free. Even the way David Eagleman’s silhouette mimics the same motion of the characters in the movie “Waking Life.” (Dir. Richard Linklater) It’s like we’re in a waking dream when we’re online…hypnagogia.
Random thought I know, but wanted to share that with this highly intelligent community.
"When you challenge your brain, you're building new bridges and roadways all the time. And as people get older, ofcourse their brain tissue starts to degenerate, so you need to build those new bridges to cover broken roadways."
WOW. VERY WELL EXPLAINED. 🧠
So grateful for the parenting questions! Most days as a parent I feel like a mad scientist testing a miriad of educational theories, brain optimization techniques mixing it with a pinch of behavioral, developmental and emotional philosophies and adding my secret ingredient of SWEET intuition with principle driven leadership skills balanced with the ability to let go completely and follow their lead. Basically a shit ton of paradoxical combinations which all lead me to the conclusion, I still don't know shit about parenting other than, I am grateful to wake up and do all over again...most days.
ditto
Dr Eagleman is a real pioneer! Always great to listen to his amazing insights! Wonderful video!
Tom really like you as person ! You are blessing to mankind ! Keep the good work going , you bring hope to millions of lives ....
One of my favourite person from world of 'Mind' and 'Brain' - David Eagleman ❤️. Thanks a ton Tom for having him and discussing such amazing mind-boggling stuff and wisdom. So grateful to you both..... 🙏🙏
i was skeptical at first when i saw it's 2h video, but there was so many wowish things that made this sensation fade out

Just like our bodies, we must strengthen our minds daily. The stronger it becomes to better your life will be
Exactly brother! It’s a matter of practice!
@@MindNow yes sir!
Fact
czcams.com/video/THP5ez0oock/video.html
Exactly. Even when you relax during the holidays (like now), you have to keep your mind sharp, focused, and ready. It should always be on guard no matter what, otherwise the smallest thing out there in the real world can take you by surprise and catch you off guard. In other words, always stay in character and be proactive.
The best thing I've found about getting people to see the other side is trying to relate whatever issue with a comparison to something they care about. Thanks Tom!
I get that I'm a late bloomer too, even later than you Tom. I didn't get started blooming until I was 55. I'll be happy at that point that I'm blooming at all. That's not disappointing to me it's something that I'll be grateful of that I still could get there.
This is so insightful! So much value for my curious mind. Thanks, Tom! 🤗
Had to jump in, when David talked about the term "(neuro)plasticity" and how he thinks they (neuroscientists) should change it. As a proud Greek language geek - and proud GREEK, in general..- , i have to mention that, as for the most of medical and other scientific terminology, the word "plasticity" derives from the Greek verb πλάθω (platho), which means to CREATE, OR to CONSTRUCT. To this day, we also use this verb in Greek for *kneading dough*. So, if i have a say here, no need to change that beautiful term, because, if i got it correctly, neuroplasticity is all about the constant creation (of neurons, new synapses etc?) , interaction and formations in the brain. So, there you go. That's my contribution to the Greek community for the day! haha Thanks Tom, a kiss from Greece - to you & Lisa-
Great interview. get rid of all the fears and then see how powerful we are.

Absolutely love all of your shows Tom, top class character educating the world.
Very interesting how powerful our mind is!! Tom, thank you so much for sharing 🙏!! I’ll watch this conversation again , it’s so interesting !!
Love to come to this channel for any person that interests me cuz it cuts to the core and asks the very best and just the right questions.
The book is excellent. Thank you Tom, and thank you David for your work.

Excellent Interview!! Thank you so much!
Good to hear that the brain builds on information it receives rather than pushing out old information when it receives a lot of new information.
My biggest motivator on CZcams is this show.
Again with this evolutionary belief. Life does not go from disorder to order. To think we evolved into this incredible design is nothing short of absurd. Having said that, it is still enlightening to discover ways we can learn about our potential and unlocking that ability.
We are eternal beings just based on science : matter is not created or destroyed only change forms (although 2 cells becoming 70 trillion breaks that theory).
Still have huge appreciation for Tom and this channel.
I have a longstanding vision for a global network and virtual world of Unity Play Stations which include memberships, free coffee/tea for members, promotes peace and positivity and playfulness. I can see big parts of it in my mind. I hope I get to help build some physical and virtual pieces of it. Tom, your work is very aligned with this and I hope we get to work together, even if at a distance, on this very important project. I LOVE the idea of 'clan' members across different 'tribes' or cultures, and totally see how this could work very well.

Profound. Funny I was thinking of it seconds before I saw your post. I think we need to limit the constant learning from others in a way that tries to validate our true self. Instead I think we should run with what we have inside, whether or not anyone else has said it or believes in it. You might be ground zero on the next information curve
Amazing! Never thought I'd be finish watching this video!
The last few minutes of your interview raised my hopes for mankind. I love it when grown men talk like that! I will be smiling for a week at least.

My understanding is that we do not loose our flexibility, however the foundations that solidifies who we have become based on our experiences, what we have seen and learned etc, wouldn't be ideal if replaced with new information/experiences as we get older. This is because we can never retrieve those experiences. This would mean the brain would need to eliminate the existing building blocks of who you are in order for the new you to be able to establish itself!!!! Which makes sense.
My assumption is that you can't be selective what experiences to eliminate, hence the reason why our brain reaches that level of slowing down when learning new things as we get older.
Awesome video!!!
Thank you Tom, yoy have introduced me to a lot of beautiful people with beautiful mind and heart. Great interview

Absolutely huge fan of Neuroscience and I was especially taken back at how David Huberman’s skills at communicating interestingly. Neuroscience is a big part in my hypothesis Structure of Everything by Brian Miller which was 2 decades in the making. There is already an interconnection between everyone only the value of this has been lost in the 80’s greed mentality, which is we are all human beings.
❤️💯❤️
@369 -David 'Huberman'???!!!! Are you thinking of Andrew Huberman, Stanford bioscientist? (totally different, but still fascinating, interview about the brain and our perceptions).
Tom your questions are great! I mean they really drove me crazy😃
That was sooo Good I’ll definitely be checking out his book and the rest.

Loving touch is a language and needs no actual words.
26:52 Based on my life without words, I used words, but, not a lot. Right at 15 years without knowing how to read, not engaging in any, any kind of conversation, about anything, it was the most silent period of my life. I didn't even know the names of most things around me in nature. Like the word tree, dog, grass, bee, nothing. My attitude and mood, was always in one state. They never changed.
It wasn't until, I hit my late forties did I realize how many words I didn't know. For 50, years, I was constantly, on the go, in 2010, I slowed down, I decided to look deeper into a question I was asked by a doctor in India. Are you a monk? It would take three years to discover the answer.
Fascinating, thank you! 🧠
This is just so incredibly interesting. I love David’s excitement and passion. I think the brain in the background, is what may be taken by many to be the soul.
Healing, forgiveness, becomes changing ones view of the event till the electrochemical brain state changes. You experience the positive change.
Your father who sees in secret will reward you in secret? Sounds like standard cosmic practice regardless of what it’s called. And you can get there with active psychology. The Kingdom of Heaven within? Nirvana? Inner happiness and a sense of peacefulness? Empty?
Hmmmmm
So the downside to flexibility is having to learn life all over again. This could actually be considered a gift for some people.
I took shrooms 8 years ago and my personality was erased. I knew something magical and beautiful was gained through it, but it was horrible coming back to “the real world”. I didn’t fit in anywhere that I was used to. So depressing... but after many years, I’m happier than before the experience.
In the age of video, make several videos before taking the mind wipe pill and what about folks with brain damage that are struggling to figure out who they were but if we have a brain wipe as a sort of organ donation check box just Incase something happens, I don’t know, make sense in my brain
Okay but what If the result of your Flexibility leads to a you that doesnt want to be flexible?

Thank you for speaking about the children.
@tom this is so cool, so incredible, and so amazing in SOOOOO many ways for our future and environmental data that we can’t detect like some animals can.
Your unanswered questions stem from the fact we are spiritual beings and these are just earth suits. Once you grasp this you’re interviews and questions will go SO much deeper and further. At the risk of being cancelled I recommend you open God’s Operating Manual (the Bible) and give it the same shakedown you give all of your other sources. Love you brother - keep up the great work.

Thanks 😊 for the podcast. I heard you talk about Elon Musk’s thinking. A lot of that comes from his engineering background. Where you taught to deconstruct everything and ask a million questions. It’s part of the design process that a lot of Apple or Google teams try to teach. You can see this in interviews when Elon Musk is asked a question. A ‘normal’ person just responds to the question. With Elon he’s scanning through maybe 10 options, applying critical thinking and speaking out the real time solution. It’s kinda like RAM on a pc. The more RAM a PC has, the more real time computing (problem solving) it can do.....I think it human terms Elon Musk has a lot of RAM. And has also practiced years and years of critical thinking 💭

I take some of these stories like the one of Romanian orphans with a grain of salt. I was only picked up every 6 hours and fed with a bottle and was not a wanted child. I had many deprivations and yet I became the valedictorian at age 16 in high school. And now as an elder am so much sharper than my peers at age 80. I think in overcoming I became a very strong and resourceful adult.
Agreed, my story is terribly horrific and I do very well. Maybe that is our will to survive.
I don't think the implication was that people like the orphans would not grow to be useful people with great contributions such as you & many others (who thrive in the face of adversity). We all have biological & psycho-emotional deficits based on so many factors, including lack of touch at developmental ages.

👍The main obstacle we face, when it comes to developing new brain cells, is one of the essential roles of the brain which is to preserve energy, and use only what is needed. Each neutron has a cohort of helping cells which serve as “cells gardeners” and ensure each cell’s good condition. Those cells and our neurons consume a very high amount of energy. Our brain consumes 20% of our daily calorie count. You need to cause conditions where the cost in energy is largely compensated by the usefulness of this energy spending.
Wow. I've just got to the bit about left and right - THIS. We need to meet in the middle, agree to disagree and work together for a future that serves humanity. I think we're on the brink of cataclysmic change. I'm so excited to have a front-row seat.

Hi Tom and lisa just wondering out of all the guest you have both interviewed what is the percentage you think has the ideal circumstances in their childhood? Is it the ideal circumstances that has helped many to achieve many things or how they learn and grow from maybe not such an ideal childhood? The older I get now 52 , the beauty of life seems to be embracing life's imperfection- learning , growing and over coming lifes many challenges. Thank you both for being a small part in that. 🦋

Tom there was a movie back in the late 70’s called Fantastic Voyage. It’s like this. Where people in a craft are miniaturized and then injected into the body. I remember it being really cool.

Let the educational system continue to do what they do best. What a student has to do during their time away from school is use their imagination, their creativity. By wiring the brain this way. When, they apply their imagination with a degree, they are able to create anything that will benefit the company they work for. A study came out in 2015, companies are wanting employees with an imagination, more so, than an employee who will take with them for many years. Both would be nice.
18:04 Before kids are 6-8, you want to celebrate their small victories and developments and achievements. Show them how proud you are and give them a hug, this is their reward. The dopamine addiction begins. This will encourage the child to want to learn and achieve more and more as a way of being rewarded. If you do this enough before age 6-8 when the Ego begins to evolve, it won't be such a struggle to keep them striving to further their abilities, because at this point, their identity depends on your love and encouragement. They want to make you proud of them. Maybe, this is why your Dad believing in you as a photographer inspired you to pursue it as part of your identity. There's also the appeal and interest you already had about photography. Anyway, if you ever have a child, the main idea is to get your child addicted to learning through praise, love and celebration before his or her Ego begins to form around age 8.
That MS Teams background reminds me of home😁💯
35:00 - that's crazy that we could potentially have more than just a 6th sense maybe a 7th or 8th is possible. And this false notion that we may forget things if we memorise new information is super helpful! Knowing that we don't forget and that it is just an unsubstantial worry is quite relieving!

I wish everyone could just take the step back that you're talking about Tom.. reel it in and meet in the middle with love and understanding. I truly hope enough of us can to make the difference.
THIS IS FFFRRREEEEEAAAAAKING COOL
A child should be brought up in a setting without stimuli from negativity. What children need to see are parents being creative and appear as though always with a smile. What the child learns is that, even when, difficulty hits, a challenge is present. IT isn't any different from, when, something positive happens. Just keep the ball moving forward, with the same attitude, the same mood. What if, you had only one attitude and one mood for every situation?
We have cells that constantly regenerate, and we have some cells that can differentiate into anything (even as adults). Most great accomplishments were done because the people who did them didn’t know they couldn’t be done. As soon as we stop telling ourselves we can’t, we will. So I believe we are infinitely malleable. It’s just that we are constantly changing back into the same thing. Once we learn to change into something else, it’s game on 👊

There are exactly three things that are proven to slow down and in some cases even reverse mental aging and IQ decline. Those are exercise, healthy nutrition and meditation. Meditation outweighs the first 2 by a lot!
I would add occasional fasting as well.
@@oajipwfjewfi392 I'd summarize that under "healthy" nutrition, which is in essence "do not over consume" in my opinion! But true!
Would you please define mental aging and IQ decline
@@omnificent15 I would define IQ as "learning speed" or to be more precise as the "speed of pattern recognition and establishment in the human brain". Mental aging is just a synonym for IQ-decline!
And what about learning new skills? Languages, musical instruments, and other mentally challenging things that make your brain grow new neurons? I thought that was proven too. Interesting info about meditation, thanks!

Can't get over the fact that the moment that I start admiring Tom's skill as an articulate enquirer he will drop a Rogan-esq F Bomb and shatter my impression of his abilities. I have often wondered why clever people need to do that 😭😔
@Cosmetic - maybe become more Zen-like in your perspective. Realize your judgement is getting in the way...not Tom's language. His language is not getting in the way; your judgement of his language is. Firstly, by admiring Tom's interviewing skills , or by admiring Tom as a person - that's a judgement - your 1st mistake, IMHO. I sincerely doubt Tom has developed IT because he is looking for admiration. Tom is a knowledge seeker and a lifeling learner. He is not here to be admired. Your judgment is telling you that Tom needs to be the way he 'should' be in order to maintain your admiration for him. All well and good, but the minute Tom breaks the rules of being cast as someone you admire, then your admiration dissolves because now he is doing something you disapprove of. He is not behaving the way he 'should' be behaving, for you. You are bothered to the point of 'cutting off your nose to spite your own face', i.e, NOT watching awesome interviews of experts in their field who are responding to an outstanding interviewer - imparting their vast knowledge and increasing YOUR knowledge - for FREE - because Tom seems incapable of maintaining the image he 'should' maintain for you - who did admire him, but now you don't. Who loses in this equation? (Hint...it isn't Tom or any of his interviewees) - just sayin...
All because you decided to let your judgments get in the way... try not judging and just take in and ENJOY this FREE information. (btw...Tom's
F-bombs peppered interviews used to bother me also - until I realized I had a choice - keep watching Tom's cutting edge interviews while increasing my own knowledge, or let my judgement of Tom's language 'get to me'. I chose the former a long time ago...and now I barely notice the F-bombs. In fact, I was surprised that you were complaining about the language in this interview, particularly. I was too engrossed in the fascinating content being shared here to notice ANY bothersome language ;))
Tom, every time you mention not having kids my heart just drops! You and Lisa have so much delicious elements to offer to a child - or several!! Doesn't have to be your biological children, but I honestly believe that you are not experiencing a form of growth and learning that you only get from raising children.
Perhaps I'm biased. I also get this sense that your being a hypocrite when you tell all us not to be afraid to fail and from what I hear you don't want kids because your afraid to fail them...being a parent is such an impactful endeavor.
Yes, Tom. The bifurcation... I think of the way civilization split- though I believe it was somewhat "forced,"- in Aldous Huxleys' Brave New World. Huxley saw this as well. 👍 Perhaps this split that you envision will be "somewhat forced" as well.
29:09 If, that were true, I would be here today. From birth to age 53, I received no affection or love from my parents. At age 49, the grandchildren started to come into the world. I grew curious over a reaction I was seeing as people held the kids. I observed a reaction that I wasn't having, when, I held the grandchildren. At
As the grandchildren aged, they knew alot about hugs and welcomed them. I did it, because, it was the right thing to do. Yet, when, I held one of the children. I felt them in my arms, but, not in any other way. There was no love or affection for them, just as it was with our three children.
So, after, a few years of going with the flow. One day my daughter came to visit us with her kids. We hadn't seen them for a while. When, we used to see them everyday and spend hours with them, everyday. So, the kids come in through the front door and I pick up one and give them a hug and it happened, I got to experience a feeling on the inside and brought tears of joy. Still, does today, every time I reflect back on it.
Our brain is malleable at any age. It has to do with how calm you are. The more you are at peace, the less agitation you have. The brain can still do what it did during the youth years.
I've always suspected I think very different from others. I sometimes forget what I look like, and that's strange, because I have a good memory. I also look at objects like seeing them for the first time, with a number of possibilities of what those objects or images could be, besides what they were intended to be. It helps out when it comes to creativity. I never have creative block, in fact the opposite.

3:15 My first 13 years of my life was like living in a monastery. While, my older siblings attended school. My classroom activities took place out in nature. There was no tv, no music, no reading books, no listening to stories, no conversations with anyone, not even my family.
A couple of months back, I was asked, Why are you different from your family? I knew the answer, because, I have been studying my past like a mad scientist. "I didn't associate with my family" was what I told him.
Imagine, waking up in a fearless state every morning for the rest of your life. What is it that we are here for? I don't really know, but, research, over 7000 hrs has been logged in on searching the web like Captain Kirk and his team searching the Universe for answers and civilizations. This is the mentality of a child.
So, imagine, having that fearless mentality that moves you to explore the unknown, even when, there are massive risks, which could result in some unknown, unforeseeable move that could bring about bodily harm or something going badly wrong, but, you're a highly skilled resilient being and you will come out on the other end with a great deal of knowledge and skills.
Recently, I was talking with a manager of a cell phone company, after a little while, she said. So, when, we let go as a child(sometime between ages 10 and 15) that edge or let go of a natural way to live. You held on to it much longer. Yes, like 30 years.
