    Understanding the Neuroscience of Mental Fatigue - Why You Lack Motivation (it is not 'Lazy')

    2026/07/20 | 31 mins.
    In this ep I talk about the complex world of cognitive fatigue, going into the neuroscience behind why we feel drained, demotivated, and disconnected from life. We're not just talking about being tired, but a state of being that's often misunderstood.
    This ep also covers the intricate mechanisms behind our brain's response to stress, inflammation, and disrupted circadian rhythms, the difference between being tired and being fatigued, and how fatigue is a biological response that's not just about sleepiness or physical exhaustion.
    I also cover the role of dopamine, inflammation, and circadian rhythms in contributing to fatigue, as well as the importance of sleep quality, physical activity, and mental stimulation in maintaining our energy levels. Also the impact of phone addiction, social media, and multitasking on our mental fatigue, highlighting the need for a more mindful approach to our digital lives.
    If you're feeling drained, demotivated, or disconnected from life, this episode is a must-listen. I offer practical advice and insights to help you understand the neuroscience behind cognitive fatigue and provides tools for making positive changes to improve your mental well-being.

    Survivorship Bias - What it Can Teach You About Planning Ahead For Success

    2026/07/09 | 42 mins.
    In this episode, i talk about the concept of survivorship bias, a logical error that occurs when we focus on successful outcomes and ignore failures, leading to skewed conclusions. This phenomenon is all too common in our daily lives, from the way we perceive success stories to the way we make decisions about our own futures.
    Something to learn from this episode is the importance of considering the entire data set when making decisions. We need to look at both the successes and failures, and not just focus on the former. We need to be aware of our own biases and to take calculated risks, rather than relying on the idea that hard work alone will guarantee success.
    If you're looking to make more informed decisions and avoid the pitfalls of survivorship bias, this episode is a must-listen. By the end of this episode, you'll have a better understanding of how to navigate the complexities of success and failure, and how to make choices that serve you best.
