Brain Health with Dr. Amen

-

Watched Dr. Daniel Amen on the Diary of a CEO podcast by Steven Bartlett and I learnt so much I need to rewatch it to take notes.

Here's some stuff I remember from the show:

1. A niece or nephew of Dr. Amen attacked somebody on the field one day. 

They went back to the kid's room and found a drawing of a person hung from a tree and the child shooting other people in another. 

Dr. Amen brought the child to his clinic, asked the child a few questions to ascertain his anger wasn't from childhood trauma. 

They did a brain scan and found a cyst in the brain. 

When they've drained the fluids from the cyst, the child did a 180 on his/her behaviours and was no longer mad.

2. It's easy to think someone is bad, so we often do that. 

We need to ask why. It's often related to brain health.

3. Dr. Amen's goal is to reframe mental illness as brain health. 

A lot of illnesses are due to issues with the brain. When we take care of the brain, a lot of the illnesses goes away. 


Watch the podcast and tell me what's one thing you took away from Dr. Amen's sharing.

Was feeling a little poor after paying off two big ticket items. Went grocery shopping with my boyfriend and this is what we saw. Ahead of us in the queue was an old man. He held a white plastic bag with 2 packets of biscuits inside. He flicked the receipt as he waited in line. He was going to exchange the items. In the basket that he's now placed at the conveyor belt at the cashier was 3 loaves of bread. The cashier scanned the 3 loaves of bread. Isn't it 3 for $3.30? I saw the sign there 3 for $3.30. Cashier lady: No, that's not the sign for that one, the 3 for $3.30 is the small ones. Is it? But the sign there put 3 for $3.30. Next time you need to place one staff there to tell people which one is 3 for $3.30. Cashier lady: So you still want the bread? No, not 3 for $3.30 then never mind, he sighed as he pulled his trolley that was overflown with plastic bags of items which made his home and walked away. ): Our grocery items amounted to $36.65. I used a $10 Fairprice vou

You’ve got to find what you love. And that is as true for your work as it is for your lovers. Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking. Don’t settle. As with all matters of the heart, you’ll know when you find it. And, like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on. So keep looking until you find it. Don’t settle. - Steve Jobs' 2005 Stamford Commencement Address --- I'm enjoying where I am and what I do. I hope you find what you love in 2024. Don't settle. Happy 2024!

/personal Feeling like you made it but you didn't. Still got to give it to myself for making the move. Making the move to quit on a job I was no longer growing in. Making a move to bring my parents for a trip. I'm sitting here in the living room of the home for tonight, an Airbnb we booked.  Bro and parents asleep in the room. I'm filled with immense gratitude we made it. We did it fam. We did.  To the 10 year old Brienne,  look! Zhe Zhe brought us overseas!  And bonus, with parents and bro! To the Bree a year ago, I'm proud of you.  You awesome little piece of shit, I'm so freaking proud of you. The world out there is your oyster Work hard, manifest abundance Go get it!
