Why Hard Work Isn't Enough | Neurologist explains

Everyone tells you to work hard. But hard work without direction is just wasted energy. In this video, I break down success using three physics concepts — velocity, acceleration, and resonance — and explain why building a system that compounds your effort matters more than just pushing harder.
I also get into the neuroscience behind long-term success: why chasing quick dopamine hits keeps you stuck, and how shifting toward serotonin- and oxytocin-driven motivation is what actually builds momentum over time.
This one's unscripted — just a thought I had this morning, straight to camera.
