Dr. Andrew Huberman (@hubermanlab) on why many people are missing a powerful, science-backed way to improve mood, focus, and energy first thing in the morning:

“Viewing bright light early in the day is a real thing — the mechanism is understood, the ideal timing is understood, and the effects are big.”

“It’s not enough to just look at your phone or turn on a few indoor lights.”

“Bright light from sunlight or a 10,000 lux artificial source early in the morning can significantly boost cortisol levels.”

“This elevation in cortisol improves mood, focus, and alertness, and can offset mild depression, malaise, and low daytime energy.”

Most artists' careers, most people’s lives are defined by labels.

Identifying with words like success, failure, conservative, liberal, poet, singer, and on and on...

These labels become beliefs which create barriers between yourself and reality. You get trapped and begin to feel stuck and stagnate.

The Jesuit Priest Anthony de Mello writes that when you accept these labels you end up, “in a prison created by the beliefs and traditions of your society and culture and by the ideas, prejudices, attachments and fears of your past experiences..."

The best example I've come across of someone who has avoided this "prison" of beliefs and expectations is @bobdylan

He’s released 40 studio albums and written over 600 songs, but there’s one song that crystallizes his blueprint for this kind of reinvention.

Full video link is in the thread.

Timothée Chalamet had 5 years to prepare for the role of Bob Dylan.

Initially he worked with coaches to learn how Dylan talked, how he walked, and how he sang.

But a few years into this he realized that he should take a different approach...

​He said, “At some point, the vocal coach I was working with, or the dialect or movement—I thought, wait, I’ve got to do none of this because this is not my style. Bob did not have a vocal coach. He had two bottles of red wine and four packets of cigarettes, so there’s no way to impersonate that.”

He began to understand that he didn’t need to “demystify the enigma.” And that actually “playing an enigma or someone who’s enigmatic is almost easier in a sense because there aren’t the hard lines to follow.” Once he started to see himself in Dylan’s story it clicked:

“I was never deified, but I could equally relate, like when Denis Villeneuve knocks on the door about Dune or I got the opportunity to play Willy Wonka or something, that was Bob wanting to be in a rock and roll band, you know? When that door wasn’t open, then I had to go make folk music. Then I had to go really hard.”

The awareness of his own experience and how it related to the character was his way in. Not the vocal lessons.

There’s a movie about me opening soon called A Complete Unknown (what a title!). Timothee Chalamet is starring in the lead role. Timmy’s a brilliant actor so I’m sure he’s going to be completely believable as me. Or a younger me. Or some other me. The film’s taken from Elijah Wald’s Dylan Goes Electric – a book that came out in 2015. It’s a fantastic retelling of events from the early ‘60s that led up to the fiasco at Newport. After you’ve seen the movie read the book.

The 50th Law: https://t.co/SXW8zbJFnD

Just before his debut album was released, 50 Cent was shot 9 times in the backseat of a car. He almost died, Columbia Records dropped him for being too dangerous, and he moved back in with his grandma…

[Dawson Carroll @dawsoncarroll]

Robert Greene’s “The 50th Law” was written with 50 Cent and is a guide to fearlessness and strategy. It’s a bible for creators.
