Disipline as a emotion

I recently watched a YouTube video by a popular mental health channel called Healthy Gamers where the host talked about how discipline is actually an emotion, and it's different from willpower. According to him, positive emotions are circuits, as is the emotion of discipline, as opposed to negative emotions which are centered in areas of the brain like the amygdala. Do you agree with this? Here's a link to the video btw: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0N0LV0mqTYQ

Podcast request

Beautiful afternoon. I loved your Podcasts how to take risk. Love you and your podcast on August 7 you spoke on rebranding nuclear Power plants. The next day, August 8 well, watching MS, NBC, the topical rebranding The word pro life was the news headline as well.. The deadline news program on MSNBC was chopped with subject matter from Nancy Pelosi's reelection to a 25-year-old last name Martin that is running for Congress in Texas. Each issue and gas spoke to wonderful subject. issues of today. What I love was that your Podcasts and the news program spoke to the issue of understanding the historical background in order to make informed decisions regarding. thank you for an informative podcast I would like to make a suggestion of having in a future podcast team members team of the project https://dreme.stanford.edu/ to talk about how the developing brain in mathematics are important to early childhood education. Hopefully you can pull down the link to developmental research early mathematics education website that I placed in this comment section I should've use the space bar however, hopefully you'll be able to access The website. https://dreme.stanford.edu/ Thank you for submitting my understanding that on the subject matter if I could can to research the historical Contin on whatever subject matter to make an informed decision.

Sleep, Narcolepsy and Insomnia

I suffer from Narcolepsy and have watched and retained a lot of information from your podcasts about sleep, However, I don't know how much Narcolepsy (lack of Orexin) affects the Sleep-Wake Cycle and the release of other chemicals. I generally only have 3 REM cycles per night and extremely lucid dreams (nightmares) if I sleep in. I use a sleep-tracking app, and I can accurately track the length of my lucid dreams. I can also track how many "kicks" I do to push myself out of the dream. The app records when you snore or make noises. This cycle can happen from 3-20 times in the morning. It's very annoying when you have to get to work. I want to know if I am getting the benefits of memory retention and true resting. NSDR has helped a lot. I actually learned to do this technique when I use Ketamine and listen to house music for about 60-90 minutes with my eyes closed.... This would be a fun study on the benefits of Ketamine with NSDR.

Science of improving reading speed and comprehension.

What's the data behind improving reading speed and comprehension. I wonder what are the best strategies when reading to absorb the most information while staying quick and efficient.

Left VS right diaphragm breathing

I've since found out that we actually have two distinct diaphragms which we can use together or individually to breath in different ways. I am led to believe this is due to the inherant lack of symmetry in the way our organs are held inside us, the liver being bigger than the stomach and therefore the size and position of the left diaphragm is different to the right diaphragm. Since learning to switch on my LEFT diaphragm in particular I've noticed exponential gains in my breath work results. What can you tell me about the physiology of this process, such as does left-diaphragm focused breathing trigger specific nerve complexes not present to the same degree when primarily right-diaphragm focused?
