Note sull'episodio
Dr. Donovan and Olympic speedskater-turned-neuroscientist Dr. Beorn Nijenhuis dive deep into the science of peak performance, decision-making, and the hidden flaws in expert advice.
We challenge conventional wisdom on training, recovery, and the role of noise and error in expert opinions.
We break down why rest is just as important as work, how confirmation bias clouds judgment, and why simplicity often trumps complexity in both health and wealth.
If you’ve ever questioned the so-called "rules" of performance, this episode is for you.
