In this episode, a renowned Oxford-trained #neuroscientist teaches you the most incredibly simple, science-backed hack that will change every single part of your life in just 10 minutes.

Professor Shane O’Mara, bestselling author and Experimental Brain Researcher at Trinity College in Dublin, walks us through the mind-blowing #research behind, of all things, walking.

You’ll be shocked to learn how the right kind of walking can lower #depression and #anxiety without medication.

Professor O’Mara explains 3 different types of walking: one way will boost your creativity, another will make you more productive, and a third way will make you a rockstar problem solver.

You’ll also learn about the incredible cognitive, mechanical, and physiological chain reaction that happens in your brain and body during a simple walk.

The research and neuroscience will empower you to use walking to help you:
- Conquer your fears.
- Make your brain younger.
- Reduce your stress and feel happier.
- Double the number of your creative ideas.
- Be more focused and productive at work.
- Turn off anxious thoughts.
- Decrease inflammation in your body.
- Improve your relationship with yourself and others.

If you’re short on time, bullshit. Put your earbuds in and get outside.

Are you ready? Hit play, and let’s walk.
