Integral Theory - Ken Wilber - Human Development
In this episode, we bring you an in-depth conversation with philosopher and founder of Integral Institute, Ken Wilber, hosted by Daniel Schmachtenberger. Ken Wilber is known for his groundbreaking work on human consciousness and personal development, and in this episode, we explore the two major types of self-improvement practiced throughout human history - "waking up" and "growing up." Ken provides valuable insights on the various states of consciousness and stages of human development, and how we can use integral approaches to heal individual physiology and psychology.

Creativity - Scott Barry Kaufman Ph.D. - Neuroscience
Scott Barry Kaufman, Ph.D, humanistic psychologist, cognitive scientist, and educational philosopher joined our co-founder, Daniel Schmachtenberger, five years ago to overturn conventional and overly simplistic notions surrounding the neuroscience of creativity. They sought out to redefine both creativity and intelligence, rewriting what is considered “normal” in society. It was such a powerful conversation that we’re bringing it to light once again in this special encore release.
The conversation tackles creativity dichotomies, our current educational system, and the way we define creativity and intelligence as a whole.

Jamie Wheal With Dr. Tara Isabella Burton - Meaning-Making
Our society is facing a crisis of meaning. That is the foundational message of our latest episode with Dr. Tara Isabella Burton. You may have heard of the term “nones”- people listing no religious affiliation in surveys. Dr. Burton, theologian, author and journalist, is less interested in what this group of people are leaving behind (institutional religion) than in how they are finding or making their own meaning. But what happens when we seek stabilizing, emotionally satisfying stories that give us a cosmic location and identity without accountability to a higher purpose? Could it be that if we’re seeking self-actualization and the only arbiter is our own thoughts, feelings, and desires that the result is lack of meaning and inadvertently the development of narcissistic traits? It’s a powerful question. Get in touch. Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/neurohacker/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/neurohackercollective Email: support@neurohacker.com

Fear - Andrew Huberman, Ph.D. - Neuroscience
We frequently receive requests to have Dr. Andrew Huberman on the podcast. Truth is, we have quite a few in our archives, but many of the conversations occurred early in the birth of our company, resulting in the content being missed by the amazing community members now following us. To each and everyone of you: this episode is for you. Transparency: this is an encore episode so some of the research Dr. Huberman discusses, has been refined by his cutting-edge lab since the original recording. That being said, the conversation is too powerful to not reshare with you. Often we hear Dr. Huberman doing the interviewing on his show, Huberman Lab Podcast.

Human Development - Dr. Terri O’Fallon - Integral Theory
As human beings we regularly change—we develop. Experiences bring new perspectives and change who we experience ourselves to be. Our relationship with others and our life context evolves and matures. But these growth spurts often result in a developmental confusion—a sense of bewilderment about our identity or purpose.
Join us as we unpack human development with Dr. Terri O’Fallon, founder of STAGES, an integrally based model that defines 12 stages in the evolution of human consciousness and meaning-making wisdom.

Jamie Wheal With Dr. Daniel Lieberman - Consciousness
Today, psychiatrist Daniel Z. Lieberman, coauthor of The Molecule of More, and author of his latest book Spellbound leads us down a new path: one where we learn how to recognize the influences of the unconscious, making it an ally in helping us become the people we were meant to be. The unconscious mind is still very much an enigma, but it influences our lives in ways we can only begin to imagine. Much of what we experience, our moods, what we like and dislike—most of who we are originates with the unconscious. But it’s not always working in our favor. Get in touch.

Neurofeedback - Dr. Andrew Hill - Neuroscience
This episode is all about the brain, specifically how to optimize cognitive performance and behaviors via neurofeedback. Research shows our brains are highly malleable and neurofeedback is a cutting edge tool to help us safely train broad regulatory actions associated with mood, attention, self-regulation and self-control, sleep, energy, stress, anxiety, and much, much more.
But how exactly does neurofeedback work? And for those with advanced knowledge in the field, can we objectively measure executive function? Dr. Andrew Hill, a previous guest on this podcast who holds a Ph.D. in cognitive neuroscience, helps us answer those questions. We break down the brain’s “languages” (think delta, theta, alpha beta brainwaves) in an easy to understand format while satisfying questions we all want answers to, such as:
The difference between neurofeedback and biofeedback
Why normal readings during brain mappings are overrated
What neurofeedback reveals about the brain post COVID

We also cover:
* The physiological benefits of slow wave sleep
* How sleep impacts eating behaviors and weight gain
* The optimal amount of sleep and the importance of sleep timing
* How sleep regulates the immune system and effects cellular senescence

Throughout his career, Rich was intimately involved in the specialized SEAL selection process, whittling down hundreds of extraordinary candidates to a handful of the most elite performers. Oddly, which candidates washed out and which succeeded was often wildly unpredictable. Some had the right skills and still failed. At first glance others were more easily dismissible but would prove to be top performers.
