  • Love this show

    I heard Dr Hill on another podcast (Therapists Uncensored) and started checking out Wise Effort. I am slowly going through her back catalog and I can say with certainty that her podcast is changing my life. She introduces me to research leaders, I order their books, I follow the specific actions she suggests at “the other side…” I am so grateful for this show.

  • Dr Hill has all-star guests throughout the episode catalogue and takes a gentle, compassionate approach to storytelling and interviewing. I appreciate the Buddhist wisdom sprinkled throughout. This is a Western podcast that doesn't take credit for ancient wisdom. Episodes are not all alike, but each one can offer insight. I recommend it.

Q: How can people try the noting practice in real life, like driving or in a meeting?
By simply labeling present experiences (seeing, feeling, thinking) in the moment rather than engaging with the content of thoughts, which helps keep attention grounded and reduces rumination.
Inside Information About Your Brain with Dr. Jud Brewer
Q: What is inside information about the brain that you're discovering now?
