The Neuroscience of Surrender and the Myth of the Self with Chris Niebauer, PhD | #36

from The Inciting Incident

This week, Tim sits down with cognitive neuropsychologist and author Chris Niebauer, PhD, for a mind-bending conversation about consciousness, the illusion of the self, and why so many of us are trapped inside the stories our minds keep telling. Drawing from Chris's work at the intersection of neuroscience, Eastern philosophy, and the mechanics of thought itself, Tim and Chris explore the left vs. right hemisphere divide, the cultural conditioning that shapes how we experience reality, and the surprising truth about why thinking may actually be our biggest obstacle to happiness.   Connect with Chris: Website: chrisniebauerphd.com YouTube: Chris Niebauer, Ph.D. Book: No Self, No Problem
