This book by Stephen Porges came up once on Andrew Huberman in the episodes we index. That mention was a genuine on-air recommendation, not just a passing reference. The people who brought it up: Andrew Huberman. Every occurrence below links to the episode page and to the exact second it was said on YouTube.
“I love, love, love the book 'Polyvagal Theory' by Stephen Porges. I think it's a beautiful description of our understanding about the vagus nerve.”— Andrew Huberman
The guest here is Andrew Huberman (solo episode): Professor of neurobiology and ophthalmology at Stanford School of Medicine and host of the Huberman Lab podcast. This is a solo episode with no guest. Huberman demystifies the vagus nerve, showing it can alert, calm, lift mood, and boost learning, not just relax you.
