Dr John Ratey is an Associate Professor of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School, an internationally recognized authority on exercise and neuropsychiatry, and the author of Go Wild and Spark. He's also been a longtime advocate of exercise and reconnecting with our ancestors' ways of life, ideas that today echo across many corners of the internet. Today I had the chance to talk to him about topics ranging from the essentials that we aren't getting from the modern world, how reconnecting with our origins betters our lives, neuroscience's failure to find an explanation for consciousness, and the importance of exercise for health and performance.

All you need to do is compare a gym in January with a gym in February to see how quickly motivation drops off for the average person. We often think of motivation as an elusive, uncatchable force that comes an goes as it pleases, leaving us whenever it wants to in unpredictable patterns. In this episode with Virginia Tech educational psychology professor Dr Brett Jones, we reveal that motivation is something you can deliberately increase in yourself, and we discuss his MUSIC model of motivation and how we can leverage it to push ourselves to our goals.
