Dr. Tony Nader - The Hard Problem of Consciousness and the Building Blocks of Everything Slo Mo: A Podcast with Mo Gawdat
-
- Mental Health
Today's guest is at the top of his fields. Yes, fields, with a plural.
He quickly became a very good friend after I appeared on his podcast, Consciousness is All There Is, and we spoke about the spiritual and consciousness sides of AI. It was such an incredible conversation that I just had to have him on Slo Mo for all of you. I'm so glad I did, and I think you will be too.
Dr. Tony Nader, MD, PhD is a medical doctor trained at Harvard University, a PhD in neuroscience from MIT, and a globally recognized expert in the science of consciousness and human development. He's the successor to Maharishi Mahesh Yogi and the head of the Transcendental Meditation organization globally.
He is a highly accomplished medical researcher and was appointed assistant director of clinical research at MIT and a clinical research fellow at Massachusetts General Hospital, Harvard Medical School.
In his new book, One unbounded ocean of consciousness, Dr. Nader comprehensively examines what scientists call the “hard” problem: “What is consciousness?” He unpacks this abstract question for both a general audience and experts in the field by investigating consciousness in terms of human physiology, quantum mechanics, and the more ancient Vedic science.
Listen as we discuss:
