Heal and Grow #1

Heal and Grow #1

From this week onwards, the newsletter on Linkedin will have this format as the email newsletter I have been building is ready for launch soon.

You can find exciting content with exclusive scientific tools for healing and being healthy, tips and hacks for productivity that will be delivered to your inbox every week.

I really wish I could share the link now, but still, some more elements needed to be added, and it took a lot more than I anticipated. It didn't fit into the Pareto principle ??

However, I am so excited to share it with you as well as learn with you too.

This platform will be used to share some of the most interesting insights that I come across throughout the week, like quotes, YouTube videos that I loved watching, the newsletter that I loved reading, one of the scientific catchy news I came across, and what new thing I did this week and many more.

This was inspired by Tim Ferriss’s five bullet Friday, and it's an amazing newsletter where Tim shares really good ideas. This is the link for the newsletter: https://go.tim.blog/5-bullet-friday-1/?

So let's go…

Power-punched quote that I took a screenshot of:

“If you want to make the wrong decision, ask everyone.” - Naval Ravikant

Scientific fact that I wish everyone knew:

Pleasure and pain are processed in the same areas of the brain.

The more pleasure one experiences, the brain tends to tip to the pain side of the spectrum to maintain equilibrium, and vice versa.

Greater the pleasure experienced, similar will be the magnitude of pain.?

Article: The Experience of Pleasure: A Perspective Between Neuroscience and Psychoanalysis

A YouTube video that was better than most of? my college lectures:

I have often viewed entropy as the measure of disorder, but watching this video completely changed my perspective on entropy, and the visuals and explanations were just top-notch.

Book I am currently reading:

Tuesdays with Morrie by Mitch Albom

One key takeaway that will stick with me forever after reading this book:

The one takeaway was: Learn how to die, and you will learn how to live. The author says, "Ask a bird that knows when you will die and ask it every day if today is the day. Live with a sense of urgency."

If it were the last day, would you still do the things that you are intending to do right now? Prioritize more living every single day.

Also shifting between the books: Zero to One by Peter Thiel and Dopamine Nation by Anna Lembke

Podcast I am listening to:

Huberman Lab podcast with Tim Ferris: How to learn better and create your best future

Duration: 3 hrs 39 mins (I have one more hour to go listening to this)

The podcast talks about performance, psychedelics, workouts, diets, and so much more. I have been loving listening to this podcast until now.

Email newsletter that I loved reading:

Ankur Warikoo’s newsletter and Sahil Bloom’s Curiosity Chronicle. Sahil shared about one of the greatest life hacks and Ankur shared a lot from his life.

One new thing I have been doing:?

Still doing it, and I will tell you how I felt doing that new thing next week. Let's keep this as a suspense, shall we?

I hope you liked this week's newsletter. Let me know what you think about in the comments down below.?
