Neuroscientist Sid Warrier Hacks for Productivity & Getting Smarter | Karishma Mehta: Realign EP115

“The reason unlearning is difficult is because when you learn something you attach it to your identity. Changing your opinion about a ‘fact’ feels like you’re changing your opinion about yourself and that affects your ego. However, the reality is that at a neurological level, unlearning is the best way to improve your neuroplasticity and essentially become ‘smarter.’”

Dr. Sid Warrier is a neuroscientist and doctor who’s revolutionizing the way we think about the brain. He’s making mental health fun & exciting while keeping it informative, and is at the forefront of bringing neuroscience to the mainstream.

From using neuroplasticity to unlock your brain’s limitlessness potential, to decoding the Bhagavad Gita using scientific insight- this is not a class in biology, it’s the ultimate guide to navigating all things neuroscience.

In this episode of Realign, learn about how to use meditation to make your brain younger, neuro-hacks to become more productive, how to optimize your sleep for success & understand why Dr. Warrier continues to pray despite being an atheist.
