MATTHEW WALKER QUOTES FROM THE INTERVIEW<\/h3>\n<p><strong>\u201cAt the moment when we analyze the data, and I\u2019m sitting there with a student or I\u2019m analyzing data, and we finally run the statistics, at that moment in time, if I\u2019m lucky, I know something that has never been understood in the entirety of human civilization, and I cannot tell you how much of a thrill and a privilege that is. And so is science hard? It\u2019s brutally hard, but just that alone, the hedonic rush that you get from de novo knowledge, gosh, it\u2019s never left me, and I don\u2019t think it ever will.\u201d<\/strong><br \/>\u2014\u00a0Dr. Matthew Walker<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cThe goal of education, in my mind, is twofold. The first is to brainwash you into thinking for yourself. The second is for you to gain long-term information.\u201d<\/strong><br \/>\u2014\u00a0Dr. Matthew Walker<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cLife is to be lived. Have a drink, of course, I\u2019m not being puritanical, but if you are, let\u2019s say, a student or you\u2019ve been learning new information for a new job or you\u2019ve been learning a new skill for a new particular sport and you know when you\u2019ve been learning and you know when you probably want to have a night out, restructure those things to implement them in the smartest way possible for optimizing outcomes.\u201d<\/strong><br \/>\u2014\u00a0Dr. Matthew Walker<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">PEOPLE MENTIONED<\/h3>\n<p><h3 class=\"jp-relatedposts-headline\"><em>Related and Recommended<\/em><\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/tim.blog\/podcast\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\"><strong>The Tim Ferriss Show<\/strong><\/a> <\/em><span>is one <\/span>of the most popular podcasts in the world with more than 900 million downloads.
