  1. “That's when they were really feeling the best. And there's another study in which people could play one of two games. One game all the rules were clear. It was really easy for them to do the best that they could do. In another game, there was a bit of uncertainty. They had to learn. It wasn't clear, right? It was challenging to sometimes respect. And they could play those two games and then every few minutes they said, okay, you could stay in this game or you can move to the other game. What they found is people liked to play the game where they had to learn, where there was uncertainty. They did not like to play the game where they always did well, where they were not progressing, where there was nothing to learn. So progress is really something that we strive for. And when it happens, that really makes us feel better, right? It makes us feel like we are moving forward. We don't like to stay even if where you are is great, right? Really, really great.”

  2. “Yes, absolutely. There are great studies. One study that I'm thinking of was where people had to do a task which required them to learn the rules. And they would get money, rewards for doing it well. And every so often they ask people, how are you feeling right now? What they found is, yes, when people got rewards, when they got money, they were feeling good. But turns out that they felt the best when they learned something new, right? When they progressed.”

  3. “If we have a specific plan concrete, that makes us feel it's more likely to happen. And if we think it's more likely to happen, we're more likely to follow through. And then there's a lot of little tricks of how to get us to follow through. One really important one is looking at your progress. So say you want to go to the gym and At the first week, you only go once a week, and then the next week you go twice a week, or maybe when you go the first time you go, you're only running on the treadmill for 10 minutes, right? And then next time 20 minutes. But put down those numbers so you can actually see them. Because when people can actually see their progress, that is extremely motivating, right? You always want to be a little bit above from where you were. So that's one thing that's hugely important.”

  4. “One thing you should concentrate on and be aware of is what is already good about yourself, right? So not only what do I want to become, which I'm not, but what am I, which is great? What already great skills I have, right? Personality traits I have, because those are things that you can build on, right? And so look at it not only in this kind of negative way, but look at it in a positive way. And so once you've done that, yes, then we can say, okay, this is my goal, right? And the next thing is how do I go from where I am to this goal? And if you have a specific plan and you're not necessarily going to follow that exact plan, right? But if you have a plan and you kind of really think through the details, what happens is that if you can imagine that vividly, that will then create your belief that it's more likely to happen, right?”

  5. “So in very general terms, I'm trying to understand human behavior. Why do people do what they do? Why do they feel the way that they do? And I use a lot of different methods to try to understand that. So I use neuroscience method. I really kind of try to look inside people's brains. Also, I look at behavior, so I'm kind of combining psychology, brain science, I also combine economics to try to understand motives, to try to understand needs. And hopefully use that not only for us to understand human brains better, but also to make our life better, perhaps make better decisions.”

  6. “Joy that they should because when something is always in front of you, you stop attending to it. That's true also for the not so great thing around us, sexism, racism, cracks in our relationships. After a while we don't notice them and if we don't notice them, we don't change them. One reason why happiness is low in midlife is because things are a little bit more routine. The problem is we really don't like risk taking.”

  7. “There's a great study that when people, the sexual desire for the partner goes up. Dr. Tally Sherrat is a neuroscientist, author, one of the world's leading researchers on emotion, decision-making, and how to change our brains for the better. This is negatively affecting your life, and you don't know it. We have a study where we ask people what was your favorite part on your vacation, and we found the peak of enjoyment was forty three hours into the vacation, and people used one word more than any other word, and it was a word first, the first view of the ocean, the first cocktail. And then the joy goes down and down and down. Why? It's because the input into your neurons is constant. And when things are not changing, our brain just stops responding. And the problem is that even if you're living your absolute best life, great relationship, a good job, comfortable home, after a while, those things don't bring us”
