At the moment Mayim & Maya began to talk about monkeys and their behavioural responses at Maya’s lab work, the image of TBBT Amy Farrah Fowler’s “Smokey Ricky” came to my mind and a feeling of fondness and sweet nostalgie filled my heart! As every Tuesday, an amazing episode..AGAIN! Thank you MB & JC..& MS!💜

It was validating that Maya stepped up for spending some time in the future and the past. It is needed for creativity and self improvement. Like a personality strength, it can be overdone, but in it's self it is valuable.

I haven't heard of her before this podcast, but she is truly extraordinary! A superhuman, Thank you! x

I wrote about the intersection of behavioural science and housing design / environmental impact for my postgrad! It's a fascinating field of study and Maya is such an inspiration.

Maya was great ! Mayim I love you but, you gotta let Jonathan finish a complete thought before you cut him off…please 💜Keep the awesome conversations coming ! 💖

Oh my goodness! I listen to my favorite podcasts when I do the dishes… so I look forward to doing the dishes!😱

My favourite episode to date!! What a brilliant woman🤩 I could listen to the three of you all day❤️

I appreciate what Jonathan brings to the table. When I started hula hooping in 2003 there was very little instruction online so my friends and I just played and enjoyed dancing with the hoop. I was able to find my style without the influence of teachers teaching things their way. It’s why we love to watch kids dance-soul movement! I get you Jonathan!

Dr. Maya's parents are amazing. I wish I had that kind of family. Since I did not have them as a child, I strive to be like them.

Wow - what an amazing interviewee! I’m on the opposite side of the political spectrum (or more toward the middle, more accurately), but I’m constantly fascinated by hearing the different experiences & informed opinions of others. I don’t often agree on the road to execute the solution, but I often agree on the ultimate problem. Thank you for hosting such a phenomenal guest! Definitely looking forward to listening to her podcast in the future.

I learned so much from this episode. Well, I always do from every episode. Future tripping, asset in your defect, difficult conversations, temptation bundling, social and Behavioral neuroscience, changing language to empower, motivate, change behavior, talking to yourself in the 3rd person.

She has guided me without my knowing it. I read "Thinking Fast and Slow" because I read it was on President Obama's desk. I'm sure he was reading it because if her influence. She's amazing!

Dr Maya was one of your best guests. Would love to see her again.

Mayim and Jonathan, such fascinating guest (even if her aproach to spending thinking time in past/future didn’t fully resonates at me, as it boost my anxiety..) But such multitalented and multifaceted diamond-kind woman! Kudos for her “Language LABELS” theory! And kudos too to Mayim’s great question about how to “download” the behavioural science to RL and relationships! Yayy!!! 👍🏼 About using third person to put things in perspective and not going crazy doing it, do you know that Julius Caesar wrote about himself at “The War at The Gallia” in third person? It surprised me a lot then (I read it in latin at High School) and I thought it was why exactly Maya says she does it now!!! And as a great desert to the episode, Jonathan hit the nail with “THE question” at 1:01:30. Amazing! Such an episode, guys! My Tuesdays addiction! 😉

Amy. I love you. I just finished TBBT. I got tears. I feel like missing my family. I wish you were there always for me. Miss you Fam💔 @Mayim Bialik

Yes!! I save your Breakdowns for only when I walk my 4miles at lunch. Mayim you are my "swifty".

This was pleasant and valuable. I too, had never heard of her and I'm so glad I got to listen to her.

Mayim, I love your thoughtful questions. Really special and how you achive to elicit the interesting things "beyond what we can measure"

MUSIC THERAPY: Could whoever screens these comments please suggest to Mayim that she interview a music therapist? I am a client and my music therapist helped save my life. If you need one example of the many forms music therapy can take, I have a small KZfaq channel that tells my experience of confronting mortality and processing emotions through song. I look forward to witnessing Mayim following up on this suggestion! 💜

Great video! Thank you all.💞

Here are my thoughts about being "in the present" all the time: I believe there are some true things about this, but they don't work for me. I have always been a person who lived in the future A LOT. Partially, because that's just who I am and how my brain seems to work, but also because the future always provided hope for betterment. Living in the present for me is closely associated with a period in my life, in which I was so depressed that I couldn't think about anything, couldn't do anything and would be laying in my bed all day, distracting myself and crying. I was incapable of planing my future and I had no hope anymore. I never thought any further into the future, that to the next day. That's what "living in the present" is for me. Now that I can see into the future again, I gained hope. I need that. Living in the present is a stupid advice... (for me). Great Episode! I love you guys, thank you.

I like the idea of speaking with the parents would be very interesting !

maya is stunning, kind and intelligent. her life is fascinating

Best show yet, she was fascinating.

Thank you so much for this interview! Love her also- yah!

Maya is my hero! ❤

YAY! More great conversation!

Another great episode

Loved it so much until as usual, when Jonathan shares his brilliance, Mayim instantly jumps in over him, does not acknowledge whatsoever what he just said, and instead chose, as usual, to “clarify” or “simplify” her take on what the guest said, which was totally unnecessary. Jonathan is actually more insightful than Mayim in most respects. I’m sorry Mayim is tunnel visioned on titles and academia, it really blinds her and she demeans her man in the process, when he is extremely relevant, insightful, honest, and capable to hold his own with any guest on the planet. I realllllllly hope he is checking her in private on her arrogant behavior on camera. It is getting so old.

Amazing podcast by far! Keep it going mayim.

Glad to have this genius podcast...

Assistam,muito interessante esse episódio!🧠

I listen to podcasts like this on my train commute!

Find the Asset in your Defect , love this , enough that i've swiped it & added a happy for a group i'm with at the moment . Considering i'm facing changes with age very begrudgingly lol, think the phase is very powerful, Thanks

Interesting person. It felt like she is well grounded and can count on a base of strong mental health (and close relationships). So, perhaps a lil far from the grounds some of us listeners and previous guests are, and then not easy to relate to? Anyway, I liked the bit about talking to ourselves in the third person. Some people I know, myself included, use that instinctively trying to motivate or incourage ourselves, I'm wondering if it happens especially when we haven't received it from others, and perhaps when we learn about self-parenting (something that for me made a difference)... Instead, I don't really get the novelty of a 'carrot-stick' approach as suggested for example about listening to your favorite music only after you get yourself to exercise... it's just that, the promise of something good coming after an effort. A lot in our culture works that way, both in families and the larger society. And I'm sure (from what she told us about herself) that Mayim is well aware of the risks of such strategy, since it doesn't play that well for people who go into restrictive behaviours when trying to solve their problems. I liked the idea about talking to great people's parents! Btw, I'd like you had chats also with people who are not famous. I wouldn't propose myself for that, too shy for a camera, but for example you could talk to some of your audience, once in a while, perhaps those who send you questions?

Thank you so much!

I have heard of people that have no internal dialogs, I have asked Mayim in the ask Mayim anything but I have never heard back? I wish they mentioned something about it.

I love this podcast, learning things besides english language

Wow! So interesting ❤🎶

Wow, Maya is amazing! I wish I was half as put together as she is. Also her Dad's speech at her wedding was pure gold!

I didn't realize until recently that Jonathan was Myaim partner. They are good together before I new I kept thinking they must be best friends they so much chemistry. I guess I was right

So glad Jonathan asked for more examples of her public policy work.

I know this is an old podcast but after listening to dozens of these podcasts now - I have to comment. Mayim, please stop being so darn rude to Jonathan. He is never allowed to finish a sentence, a thought. He isn't allowed to share his beliefs. It is insanely painful to listen to you cut him off constantly and talk to and about him like he is stupid and clueless. I've had to turn off multiple of these podcasts because it's so frustrating. Jonathan - you are such a kind, thoughtful man with so many insightful things to share. Please keep trying to speak up as I really enjoying hearing what you have to say.

6am every Tuesday ♥️

Congrats on a million!

So interesting.

I love you Mayim

Wow haven't even watched this one yet and I'm stoked cause apparently I'm about to discover a BUNCH of assets cause lord knows I got a sh** load of defects.

Mayim looks just beautiful.

3:30 start

The online course Choose again by Diederik Wolsak, Jim Kwik book Limitless, Jacob Nordby book The Creative Cure & Cynthia Winton-Henry book Dance the Sacred Art are all amazing tools to heal yourself. We suffer because we believe in the story we created as kids, (which changed our brain chemistry etc) about who & what we are and we live our adult lives based on that false narrative.

I'm a self-taught visual artist, but when I recently started learning how to play violin, I became consumed by accurately learning how to read music and 'proper technique,' because I spent years thinking I was doing art wrong.

Thank you for this beautiful conversation🔥. Love all your conversations. She talks briefly about Obama on the Rich Roll podcast. Check it out, another great conversation.

Let an old man say, you're a good girl. I have been trying to bottom line why I like you and Jonathan so much. You are just great kids. Sure your brilliant and insightful and generous with your knowledge, but so are a many people. And yes, okay, so you are talented which of coarse is a bit more rare especially included with the stated gifts. But I like you guys so much because you are a good girl and he is a good boy. So yes it's crude and politically I correct but that's what I know. Love and prayers.

Do you use AG and Ritual vitamins?

like the show xoxo mayim

The brain is just as important as any other organ in the body. Without it we don't have the sense to care for the other parts and all the things. Like the importance of eating pie on a rainy day 😌😌😌

I’m very proud to express my happiness through this platform and to say am very thankful to Dr. Osaoji on KZfaq for restoring my life back to normal and test negative for HSV after treatment

"I can't answer how the government budget is set" neither can most government officials.

Mayim, you is beautfoul ♥🐱

💚💙

Skip to 5:30 You are welcome

How come people always trot out the privileged class, as if they are the only ones who have something to say. How come no one ever interviews someone from the working class?

Can you please do fun with flags once?

cuanto tiempo jajaja ;)

Why is she standing throughout? Doesn't she have a setup with a chair? Or is it for some health reason?

I have brain envy..

I love you guys and I love this show, but please look a little bit deeper into Better Health. I trust you, but there is a ton of negative comments about this sponsor out there

I don't really know how to thank you Dr odija on KZfaq for making me to live like my fellow mates and for curing my baby from autism.... thank you so much may God always you and your work..,,,,,

First of all, I know ads are prolly tailored, but I will put it out there into the YT universe then, I detest that "butt suds" ad, it is such a lame, un-funny attempt to take a swipe at femininity, like stop. Anyway, at 54:50 ... now I forgot. Brb... Oh! Giving to charity. I'll go see if I can find the link, but Kelgore does a great breakdown about why it is so much better to give directly, not write a check. And makes sense when you think about it. .

What's the name of the professor that studies change @1:03??

Being upbeat and jolly doesn't diminish the manipulative nature of behavioural science. A government department manipulating society and in particular those least able to defend against it. e.g. prisoners. How she tells her personal history is also an example of perception management. To best sell herself.

🤕

ᴘʀᴏᴍᴏsᴍ ?

Just glossed over Cheshire being a prison town, but ok! "A suburb of New Haven," it is, then.

w.t.f.? 🤷‍♀️

As soon as I start to listen about experiments with animals I stop watching. Minute 40:30

Sometimes love is stolen by a bearded conman with no real job who latches on to a wealthy woman and gets her to pay him to be on her podcast. A leech not a love

Not political? LOL. Uh huh. no thank you.

Bring Priyanka Chopra on this podcast. Mayim and Priyanka share same agent, and priyanka is huge Bollywood star, that even Prime Minister will attend her wedding with Jonas.
