The book was highlighted as an insightful resource on how meditation influences both temporary states and lasting personality traits, and its relevance was linked to mimicking slowwave sleep to boost growth hormone. Huberman noted its usefulness for listeners interested in meditation's physiological effects.

"

And for that, I want to point toward a book, which is really kind of interesting. It's not focused on growth hormone, but the book is called Altered Traits. This is the book. This is the book. It's an excellent book. Altered Traits by Goleman and Davidson. Science Reveals How Meditation Changes Your Mind, Brain and Body. Very interesting book.

For those of you that are interested in meditation, and perhaps those of you who are not, but are considering it, what they talk about in this book is the fact that meditation has two separate lines of effects. One of those lines of effects are things that change your state. So you're stressed, you sit down, you meditate and you relax and you go into a particular state. The other are the changes that occur over time. And those are changes in trait.

So personality can actually change with long bouts of TM meditation or repeated meditation. In any case, the reason we're talking about Altered Traits today is because certain types of meditation can get people's brains into states that very closely mimic slow wave sleep.
