Shark played an amazing clip from Andrew Huberman about "Giving It Up To God".
Huberman is a Stanford neuroscientist. He says something strange. Some people can’t change a thought or a habit, no matter how much they know or how much support they have. Then they give it over to a higher power, or to God, and somehow they do it. He says it makes no sense based on how we understand the brain’s control of impulses... and he’s never seen it fail.
Shark has the word “surrender” tattooed on his wrist. He had his daughter do it. And he’s honest: he still struggles to take his hands off the throttle. He talks about his biggest demon, the fear of never having enough, and why letting go is the best feeling in the world. He also shares what his friend Jonathan, a devout Christian who’s in church every Sunday, said when he called the show. He knows it’s true... and it’s still not easy.
Spanish explains how you can accept the story in your head and the reality in front of you as both true, and stop letting them fight for control.
If you’ve been gripping the wheel so tight your hands hurt... this one’s for you.
