Today I'll start with a gentle reminder that our upcoming book "Unstressable: A Practical Guide to Stress-Free Living" is available for preorder. It is written by me, Mo Gawdat and my wonderful co-author Alice Law and we hope it will truly make an impact in getting a million people out of Stress.
To help us learn more about Stress, in this episode of Slo Mo, I am honored to welcome Robert Sapolsky, a luminary in the field of neuroscience and a master storyteller of human behavior. A truly remarkable human being. Like a deep and engaging dialogue between friends, Robert shares his journey through the intricate maze of the human brain, discussing the marvels of biology that underpin our emotions, actions, and the essence of what makes us human.
Beyond his groundbreaking research on stress, Robert explores his passion for teaching, his profound insights into the intersection of biology and behavior, and his unyielding curiosity about the human condition. This episode is a celebration of intellectual exploration, the wonders of scientific discovery, and the profound impact of sharing knowledge to illuminate the mysteries of our existence.
Listen as we discuss:
- The upcoming release of Unstressable
- The Biology of Stress
- How our Compassion sometimes contributes to our Stress
- How humans are a species of Contradictions
- How Contextual is Stress
- The Evolution of our Tribal mentality
- Dopamine
- Free Will
- The Positive impact we can make
For more insights and inspiration from Robert Sapolsky, dive into his lectures and books (his most recent: a.co/d/iZTAUed), and follow his work at the forefront of neuroscience and behavior. To stay in touch with Robert, you can follow his academic contributions and public engagements, or subscribe to his Instagram page.

I'm always confused by Sapolsky. So we don't have free will, but we do have the ability to act on knowledge learned. But how do we learn this knowledge if not by choice? If I have no free will, the knowledge presented to me was predetermined. Consequently, what knowledge I choose to act on will be predetermined as well? Like, he's saying I don't have a choice in where the ship goes, but I can steer the ship in a certain direction, but that sounds contradictory in itself. I'm open to further explanation here.

I have only just discovered Sapolsky. I've previously heard just one of his many lectures/interviews and I'm blown away by how deeply his ideas speak to and resonate with me. Thank you Mr. Gawdat for this interview and your advice to re-listen to this talk. I, for one, certainly will be listening to it again.

I love it when Robert Sapolsky says, "Wow". I'm always waiting for it when I hear him speak. 😃

@fireballfitness170

I listen to doctor to Sapolsky in a lot of podcasts but you managed to pull this knowledge out of him with your question. Thanks.

Love this discussion. It reminded me of a brilliant quote attributed to Mark Twain...."I have been through some terrible things in my life. Some of which actually happened."

After Vietnam they did PTSD assessments on men in the infantry and found that 70% did not have PTSD. What was common among the 30% was early childhood trauma. Imprinting.

So fascinating how our brains are conditioned to categorize and assign meaning to symbols. Ghandi was a British educated lawyer who wore British style suits in his professional life, but when he changed to wearing a traditional dhoti, he became "other" to the tribe hed aligned with for his education and professional life. He immediately changed member affiliation to a different tribe with world changin results...sports team cap phenomenon in another guise. Amazing!

@janicedowson7793

Wonderful, I could listen to Dr. Sapolsky all day. Brilliant.

@observerone6727

We don't cause what causes what happens to us. And obviously what happens, happens; the universe cannot do otherwise, and your mind is part of the universe (final truths are like this). We shouldn't confuse being aware that something happened with that we were the single complete cause (with absolutely no other forces involved) of what happened. All of existence is simply flowing causal forces - this ultimate truth doesn't change the possibility of pursuing a good life.

@derrekord

This was incredible. And thank you for introducing me to Robert. I just got some of his books!

Super!

@lindaelarde2692

I see an alignment of this lens on free will with the work of neuroscientist, Lisa Feldman Barrett's constucted emotion paradigm. Id love to here Dr Sapolsky and Dr. Feldman Barrett dicuss these concepts...that would be fascinating!

@julieverhagen3746

You /Ali changed my life!!!! 0h I follow you NEwhere!!

@ninja2388

Initial resistance - then curiosity and decision to know more! Thank you so much

Humans have culture, we make up our world. A hippo never wonders about the harvest, human depend on what we imagine and the behavior our imagination inspires.
