I've tried to listen Huberman so many times but have hard time focusing. He seems to rattle off a list of things without any emotional hooks to keep the user engaged.
I tried watching the first six minutes of one if the above videos and it was all just fluf or advertising for his sponsors. No actual information. Podcasts in general seem like such a poor and inefficient way to acquire information. A brief article in Wikipedia that can be the jumping board for further explorariob is always so much better for me.
Exactly my experience. I have a feeling that he talks way to much and without a pause throwing large number of unconnected points leaving you bamboozeled on what to actually start with, what is the most proven and would give best bang for the buck.
I normally have a hard time watching long "monologue" videos but I feel like Huberman usually does a good job of keeping my attention. He speaks with eloquent intonations and maintains a piercing eye contact with the camera. I admit his videos can be a bit tedious sometimes but I just frame them as "classes", which makes them easier to bear.
He could for sure add in some sugar to help the medicine go down, but it would make the already long videos longer.
Enjoy! I recommend you start from the oldest videos and work your way forward. He often mentions to past videos and some his content builds on top of older content. It is time well spent. His demeanor/cadence & carefulness on choice of words is very clear and appreciated. His videos also have bookmarks so it is easy to find things in the future if you want to refer back to something.
