Sometimes you can’t think your way out of a problem. Your brain is just out of fuel.
In this episode, Tim Ferriss and Jay Shetty ask why so many smart people feel stuck. Tim says the answer is often not in your head.
Tim tells what happened to his anxiety after one day of brain stimulation. He explains why a new habit seems to click after two weeks. And he shares how doing the opposite of every other salesperson changed his results.
Learn about the question "Are you hunting antelope or field mice?" And learn why a fight about who’s right is one you can’t win.
