Books mentioned on Essentials: Time Perception, Memory & Focus
In this Huberman Lab Essentials episode, I explore how biological rhythms and neurochemicals impact our perception of time. I describe how the body aligns with daily and seasonal light cycles to regulate hormones that influence energy, mood and motivation throughout the year.
Andrew Huberman recommended Your Brain Is a Time Machine by Dean Buonomano and The Philosophy of Physics by Dean Rickles.
