    Understanding Your Brain Changes Everything

    In this episode of Gents Talk, supported by Bulova (E#178), host Samir Mourani sits down with Ariel Garten — neuroscientist, psychotherapist, and co-founder of Muse — for a mind-expanding conversation about how the brain really works, why we think the way we do, and how understanding our neural wiring can transform the way we live.

    • Why your brain creates certain thought patterns — and how to interrupt the unhelpful ones

    • How the prefrontal cortex shapes decision-making, confidence, and emotional control

    • The neuroscience behind anxiety and overthinking (and how awareness reduces both)

    • Why “training your brain” isn’t a metaphor — it’s biology

    If you’ve ever wondered why you feel the way you do, struggled with overthinking, or wanted to understand the science behind self-improvement, this episode is a must-listen. It’s insightful, practical, and a reminder that your brain isn’t your enemy — it’s your most powerful tool once you learn how to use it.
