Today’s guest is Dr. Tony Nader. Tony is a globally recognized expert in the science of Consciousness and human development. He received his MD from Harvard and PhD from MIT and is trained in internal medicine, psychiatry, and neurology. His newest New York Times bestselling book, Consciousness is All There Is, was recently released. In addition, for many years, Tony worked closely with Maharishi Mahesh Yogi who introduced Transcendental Meditation to the world in 1958 and emphasized the scientific understanding and validation of Transcendental Meditation. Tony is currently the head of the global Transcendental Meditation nonprofit organization. Highlights from Michael and Tony’s conversation include: -How understanding consciousness helps us to unlock our life’s purpose and reach our full potential, both individually and collectively -How consciousness relates to the often-asked question, “Why do bad things happen to good people?” -Why freedom is necessary for manifestation -The numerous studies showing the positive effects of individuals practicing Transcendental Meditation on cities (e.g., reduced conflict, crime, accidents) and the social potential of this data -The major takeaways from Tony’s new book, Consciousness is All There Is; insights into Tony’s popular “Hacking Consciousness” lectures; how to participate in the Meditate America program; and much more!
