Podcast Review: How to understand emotions
The Huberman Lab podcast consistently delivers fascinating insights on various aspects of human physiology and psychology, and their episode titled “How to Understand Emotions” is no exception. Dr. Andrew Huberman masterfully explores the intricate world of emotions, invites listeners to expand their understanding of the subject. What makes this episode even more enriching is the addition of insights from Dr. Lisa Feldman Barrett, a renowned expert in the field.
Throughout the episode, Dr. Huberman and Dr. Barrett provide enlightening quotes that resonate deeply. Here’s our top three:
1. Dr. Huberman remarks, “Emotions are our brain’s way of communicating with us, guiding us through life.” This quote beautifully encapsulates the idea that our emotions are not just random reactions but meaningful signals that guide our actions.
2. Dr. Barrett emphasises, “Emotions are not good or bad, they’re simply information.” This perspective encourages us to view emotions without judgment, allowing us to better interpret their messages.
3. Dr. Huberman notes, “Understanding your emotional landscape empowers you to make more informed decisions.” This underscores the practical value of emotional intelligence, enabling us to make choices that align with our goals and values.
One key takeaway is the importance of acknowledging and embracing our emotions. Dr. Huberman, in conjunction with Dr. Barrett, encourages listeners to explore this path of self-awareness and self-compassion. Dr. Barrett adds, “When you recognize your emotions for what they are, you can be more compassionate toward yourself.”
Another vital lesson is the idea that emotions are not to be suppressed but rather harnessed for our benefit. “Emotions are tools,” as Dr. Huberman notes. “When we learn to understand them, we gain control over our reactions and enhance our mental and emotional well-being.”
The episode also highlights the role of mindfulness and self-awareness in managing emotions. Dr. Huberman and Dr. Barrett advocate for practices such as meditation and journaling. Dr. Barrett suggests, “Cultivate emotional intelligence through practices like mindfulness. It can help you navigate the often turbulent waters of your feelings.”
In a world where emotional intelligence is a key to success and happiness, “How to Understand Emotions” from the Huberman Lab podcast is an invaluable resource. It motivates us to explore the depths of our emotional landscape, harness the power of our feelings, and ultimately lead more fulfilling lives. Don’t miss this episode—it’s a journey of self-discovery and empowerment.

What’s with the pose – Table Top
Bharmanasana
harma means ‘table or board to hold something’ and Asana means ‘pose’.
Table top is a beginner pose practiced to help bring balance in the body while the entire muscles in the body are equally stretched.
The gentle stretch is felt at the arms, shoulders, wrists, hips, core, thighs, knees and the spine, balancing and relieving the tensions thereafter.
