Dr. Alok Kanojia and Dr. Andrew Huberman discuss the concept of “shunya”—the void—and explore practical meditation techniques for detaching from ego-based identities, illustrating how finding the stillness between breaths can cultivate deep psychological resilience and a more objective relationship with one's emotions.

Dr. Alok Kanojia, MD, MPH ("Dr. K"), is a Harvard-trained psychiatrist and expert in both Eastern and Western medicine to improve mental health. Dr. Andrew Huberman is a tenured professor of neurobiology and ophthalmology at Stanford University School of Medicine and host of the Huberman Lab podcast.
