You know you’ve made it when you’re being studied by scientists.

I keep telling people that David Goggins is a once in a century kind of person, he really is a superhuman, everything about his mindset, his physicality, his commitment. Truly unbelievable specimen of a person and most inspiring badass person on the planet. #Stayhard

Huberman has such a great way of explaining things. He's becoming one of my favorite people to listen too.

This is how I ended my 10 year battle with panic / anxiety and agoraphobia. Willing running into that adrenaline "panic" every single day until I created a new ME. 10 years of hell changed in 5-6 months. Blessed 🙏🏽 I didn't know what happened or how I done it but this explains it perfectly in science

goggins may at some point try to live a comfortable life, because that is the most uncomfortable thing he can think about.

I think the thing that a lot of people miss when looking at DG, fan boi or hater or anywhere in between on the spectrum, is that in his own mind, he's the human that God created to test the very limits of what it means to be human. Everything he does is unorthodox, whether its persevering through stress fractures or rhabdomyolysis, tackling incredible acts of endurance without proper training, or not getting 8 hours of sleep every night in exchange for early hours of training. Without going back into his past and embracing his experiences as being a training ground for becoming a better person later in life, he could never find the strength to do any of these things. None of these things are considered healthy practices and in fact he often discourages people from doing what he does. So do not hero worship him, but instead use the knowledge he is uncovering to push yourself a little harder for a little longer when you're doing something you feel like giving up on when you are trying to better yourself in some area in life. Use his experience to create your own hero in yourself, which is the only hero you can ever count on. He wants people to make their lives better, not create clones that try to mimic his every action, and people definitely take his message the wrong way. He's a truly remarkable study in the human existence and that's his life's mission. Yours doesn't have to be that, neither do you have to be threatened by it. You could employ these tactics toward an academic or business goal. He's not telling people to go run the skin and nails off their feet. He's showing the world that if a guy who was in his position, almost 300 pounds, making 1000 bucks a month and unwilling to face the fucked up shit that happened to them could just make a simple choice to change, and then to do amazing things with his life because of it, then you can certainly try to do that to. No matter who you are.

David goggins helps me change my life every day

I think the people with severe anxiety can turn into masters of this with practice. ✊🏼 stay strong

Meditation comes in many forms. Goggins is a great example of this physical form of meditation

I had the pleasure of meeting him here in New York before he got super famous. Hardest man I’ve ever met. Also David has a great sense of humor. 🤙💪👊

Because of DG I now wake up every morning at 4:45 AM to go to my CrossFit class at 5:30 AM, 5 days a week. I'm the oldest in the class and also the slowest, but I'm the only one who go to class everyday! I sweat a lot and it hurts a lot, but at the end I go into the ice bath at 50F for a few minutes. Then I start my work day like if nothing happened... Stay Hard!!!🙂

True yes, David Gogins is now training to become a smoke jumper (woodland firefighter) he now lives down the street from me in a small town in Northern Canada. (Ft. St. John, BC) He’s the real deal

Goggins is the perfect example of NEVER GIVE UP - EVER

It reminds me of when Peterson talks about the treatment for fears (OCD in particular) is voluntary exposure therapy. That's when you get exposed to your fear but you do it of your own free will. This can help you overcome the fear. And he talks about how the person isn't learning not to be afraid, but is instead learning that they are brave.

I crewed for a 50 something ultra runner at the BD135 (Death Valley up Mt Whitney in July) about 15 years ago. Goggins was competing that year placing I think 3rd overall. Back then he was much bigger than what you see now. The pavement so hot your shoes soles would melt. The one thing I remember about him was that he seemed completely stoic and quiet.

Andrew is skilling up with how he delivers these concepts. Awesome.

I hope one day you will interview Goggins.

I love how everyone laughs when talking and hearing about David Goggins. His feats are unbelievable.

Am in my 70s and am listening to David Goggins first book and am going to get his second .I just love him and enjoy the discussions during the book on audio ,Am part of a walking group in London and just going for walks makes you feel so much better

Goggins seems like the type of person to actually go after challenges and constantly step outside of his comfort zone. This is what he means when he talks about "callousing the mind."

You are the example for creating beautiful conversations that look good as well as sound good, a perfect combination of truth and beauty. Thanks for setting the bar high for other channels. The atmosphere here is lovely as a backdrop.

This 5 minute snippet literally blew me away. I was not aware that practicing my reaction to adrenaline would bleed into other "high risk" or "high adrenaline" activities. Grateful to live during a time where we have brainiacs such as Dr.Huberman, Chris, and David Goggins!

Been doing cold showers 3 months now, haven't realized till now how it reduced my anxiety levels and stress. what Andrew said makes total sense to me now

Dr. Huberman is always a well needed fountain of information 👍🏽

I've actually done this my whole life. I don't like to take the easy path. I like to suffer. Because I suffered so much in my adolescence I started to grow this idea very young that if I deliberately go against the grain I will become accustomed to adrenaline dumps because as he said "You become accustomed to the adrenaline and can navigate stressful situations in a composed manner".

David Goggins is so badass that Andrew even created a term to explain what he is doing

This reminds me of something I heard that differentiated stress or fear that you willingly subject yourself to vs uncontrollable or unintended and how it impacts your ability to deal with stress in the future. A child that experienced abuse will be more vulnerable to future trauma, but kids will also do a lot of risk taking intentional and it gives them a better ability to respond to stress later in life.

I do love the message David Goggins has for us. There is a lot of wisdom there. I think we do not need to go to extremes though. I am training my body and mind for longevity. So i can do all the things i can do at 50, when i am 90 or 100.

The admirable thing about the admirable human being that is David Goggins is that he does all this for the greater good.

Unpredictable stress heightens stress much more while fading slower. Causing a more chronic level of stress. Stress that you choose and that is very temporary is less stressful but still promotes the same response without the lingering chronic buildup Acute stress promotes stress handling and adrenal growth, but chronic stress will quite literally atrophy the brain, it's a balance.

Need to watch the full episode of this.

DG is a real living legend. Love him.

I’ve ran ultras and powerlifted, but I’ve never been a seal before, a famous author, or a multimillionaire. Goggins is super human

I’m sure at the time they’re recording this David was somewhere running miles.

wow this was incredibly well-spoken and concise. Good sh*t

Insightful. Very much appreciated.

I can hear it a whole day....🔥🔥

Chuck Norris has a son, he called him David Goggins

Awesome. Someday, I would love to see David Goggins running and swimming in a cold environment with Wim Hof.

The lighting on the pod is amazing!

Been trying cyclic hyperventilation during a cold shower for up to 3 minutes for the past few days, ending with the calm 2 short inhales with a long exhale and…i gotta say…the first day had me laughing in joy afterward🤟 and so I have been doing it after running everyday. Its worth it.

They need to get Andrew as the next Wolverine.

David changed my life!

Thank you David Goggins

Whenever you wanna give up just remember David Goggins is out here outworking the crowd and you should too! #StayHard

That’s what I am was trying to build in myself, staying calm in shitty situations, and think rationally.

David Goggins is amazing and his book is fascinating 😊

Wonderful videoography and very insightful message.

The concept of ‘limbic friction’ is basically lifted from Goggin’s book, he claims the mind needs ‘friction’ to become callused.

Great explanation by Huberman. Very well done 👏🏼

Music for me is another war to trigger adrenaline. Body is just an absolute beast when I'm listening to a great upbeat tune.

Thanks!

David is a modern day Spartan! A fucking REAL life Kratos. Keep hard

‚limbic friction‘ such a nice explanation!

David goggins and Andrew huberman . Perfect

i recently returned from a 3 month trip alone in south america where I was constantly in new environments , facing new challenges, stress, and problem solving. now, back home in the US , I've noticed myself being much calmer and nonreactive to stressful situations.

Super interesting! This is the point of life, to get better!

Holy shit, Ive been in 5 car accidents, was not the driver for 4 💀, but the feeling right before u get hit is a rush and I’ve been able to stay calm and walk away with minimal damage, bracing for impact,

There's just far to much comfort we all think we need .throw them away see if your up to the challenge without an excuse

Thank you kindly✍

David is a legend!

My stress threshold is pretty poor in terms of how I react to it. I’ve learned it’s basically just part of me and how my brain is wired. I’ve learned some coping mechanisms but would like to improve with it more.

I can’t help but think Goggins needs some love - the guy literally wrote in his book about some of the worst traumas- things that no child should ever have to go through- and yet nobody seems to be addressing this … they all just get obsessed with his work ethic… YIKES where is the empathy? humanity is just so broken

My Goal: Write my book one day how David Goggins changed My Mind🥰LOVE THAT MAN AND HIS GOLDEN HEART💪🏾💖💪🏾#StayHardPeople!!!

If you want to train your adrenaline, play tournament style paintball. I used to thrive so well on adrenaline doing it as a kid on my way to being a professional player. The ability to think clearly and slow down time in the moment while creating reactionary decisions, instead of panicking is a very rewarding feeling. I remember once running full speed sliding on my knees about 10 feet and shooting three people as I slid, it's a memory lodged in my brain, among many others, but I didn't want to spend my life playing a game so I moved on, and had complete withdraw from the adrenaline my body was so frequently used to.

There are seafaring vessels that need relocating, we must identify the person who will accomplish this task. Also there are portions of felled trees.

Great video!

For a variety of reasons I have been exposed to high-level trauma and bursts of adrenaline/terror through the past 4 years. Something has happened to me, because I found myself in the passenger side of a car being (not) driven by someone who had suddenly and completely passed out. I never felt as calm as I have steering a car with a rigid unconscious leg pushing down on the gas. I weaved through highway traffic a bit and put the car over the first shoulder at a bridge near the offramp, which shut it down (newer model Audi). My heart was racing but I found myself breathing normally. When I didn't feel much afterwards, I was acutely aware that my calmness helped. But that I am profoundly damaged.

I'm thinking of starting a list of hilarious headlines. This one certainly makes the cut.

Cold water is awesome, i take ice cold showers always nowadays. It alerts me instantly and i feel so much better during the day as well. It also tightens my skin which feel great and i look better for it as well. At the beginning of starting to take cold showers, i hyper ventilated a lot. Now it barely phase me at all and it actually feels great instead of that shocking feeling. I can breathe normally during my ice cold showers and the added benefit when u stop showering is that there is no post showring period of sweating like there is when you shower in hot water.

David goggins i can say he lives the live to his fully potencial i admire thay guy

There is a chapter in Sean Stark "Pencak," martial arts that refers to purposeful stress innoculation. Putting yourself in situations with a high failure rate, so to speak. I can speak from experience that doing just that absolutely increases your ability to handle and be in control of yourself in high stress situations.

I see David Goggins on the title or thumbnail and I click. Dudes uncommon amongst the most uncommon.

Goggins is an absolute savage! Love that guy!

I know a lot more about cold water, but not much about studying the man who CARRIES THE BOATS & THE LOGS

I am the master. I don't like cold plung sometimes so I count down rocket launch 10,9,8,7,6,54321 and do it. Works Everytime.

I hope I get to meet David one day.

This just reafirms that Goggins is such an unique one of kind specimen.

Goggins loves what he does. Not for everyone.

This is honestly why Goggins is changing lives

Great guest

As a famous comedian pointed out, the reason he made it through tough places and hard times is ''I admit, I didn't hate my dad as much as the bully trying to kick my ass!" And he grafted a skin of comedy and wit on top of his own, it kept angry idiots at arms length and from having to punch everyone who wanted to fight. As Goggins admits, hates his dad more than most people, and he's constantly trying to prove his dad wrong, and to ''beat those motherf*ckers!" Whoever they might be. And I don't think anyone has gotten further on the junior high attitude of beating others and rubbing it in their faces. He spends a single sentence saying he's ''only out there to master himself'', but the rest of the chapters of his books telling us who he hates, who he has finally shown who's boss, and who he continues to beat with his impressive ability to take pain.

STAY HARD!

He's in my brain, and that's ok I decided.

Great content! New Subscriber.

As an adrenaline junkie my entire life, this is utterly fascinating.

I listen to him every morning to get up at 4:30 am to workout

A study of David Goggins on a psilocybin trip would be interesting. Especially if they did the shark VR. That would be a stress test I doubt many could endure.

Absolutely 💯 I've been using heat more as I've learned to adapt to cold methods of stress management. I have to say heat is much much more uncomfortable especially when you're nearly 400 lbs and 21% bodyfat like me. I enjoy pushing myself beyond my comfort zone and always seeking newer heights as to my physical, spiritual, emotional and psychological well being. My weight goal is 350lbs and below 20% bodyfat but I know in order to get there I have to be very, very uncomfortable. It's been an awesome journey! Thanks for sharing this!

F*** yes to all of that! yes! 10+ years doing cold showers/Ice plunge...BEST mood stabilizer and re-booting on the mind I have found.

The simplicity of life is the hardest thing to maintain. The "superhuman" have been cultivated to create the tangent of the complexities of being simple and doing the right thing. Can't run a marathon, but I'm hard working, logical, straightforward, sympathetic, considerate and I'm a man; yep,a simple man - tough thing to be these days without some sort of angle.

Our society has gotten extreme in everything. What Goggins is doing is very, very hard on your body and will eventually wear it down to where you will have real structural pain that will reduce your quality of life. A few are superhuman and will last longer, but all will end up hurting. You are trading today for tomorrow's real pain. Not suffering after a 30-mile trail run pain, but actual damage to your body pain, which sucks way worse because it is chronic and wakes you up at night. Being sore after an 8-hour run is one thing (like I did), but that goes away in 2-3 days. Structural pain does not go away easily. Be careful out there :)

4:30 not very many people get Huberman's subtle humor. I love it! In case you missed it: "you can do rapid breathing or jump into an ice-cold bath, hopefully not both at the same time" LOL

4:13 I’ve lowkey done the hyperventilating when I go to the gym in combination with that double breath technique that Andrew has talked about before. It really works.

Goggins is awesome 👍😎✨

Goggins lives in my mind rent free

people seem to forget that with goggins, it's all about _desire._ most people don't have a strong enough desire to either lose weight, get super fit, or do any task requiring continued discipline. they may have some desire, but not enough to follow through and succeed. goggins is the rare bird who does.

Damn!!!! his laughter at 0:35 I seriously couldn’t stop laughing seeing him laugh like that..

Goggins---> you gotta love his attitude!!!
