Consciousness & Reality

Mark Gober is the author of An End to Upside Down Thinking: Dispelling the Myth That the Brain Produces Consciousness and the Implications for Everyday Life. Curious and intrigued by the nature of the universe and with a desire to answer some of life's big questions Mark began his journey and what he discovered was an upside-down view on the nature of consciousness.

He delivers this breakthrough concept that consciousness creates all material reality. Biological processes do not create consciousness. His book has been described as Stephen Hawking’s A Brief History of Time meets Eckhart Tolle’s The Power of Now.

With a broad range of research into the disciplines of quantum physics to psychic phenomena and near-death experiences Mark clearly highlights how such a view can bring comfort and even greater happiness to one's life. Personally, this I was blown away by this conversation with Mark - turning traditionally held perspectives and scientific thought upside down. Amazing! Please enjoy.

Guest Bio

Mark Gober is an author whose worldview was turned upside down in late 2016 when he was exposed to world-changing science. After researching extensively, he wrote An End to Upside Down Thinking: Dispelling the Myth That the Brain Produces Consciousness, and the Implications for Everyday Life to introduce the general public to these cutting-edge ideas – all in an effort to encourage a much-needed global shift in scientific and existential thinking.

Mark, a partner in a Silicon Valley investment bank and strategy firm, has long sought answers to life’s challenging questions. As an undergraduate at Princeton University, he was drawn to astrophysics because he wanted to understand the universe. But because due to commitments as a member of Princeton’s Division I Tennis Team, he decided that astrophysics would be too demanding. So instead of studying the invisible forces that govern the universe, he studied the invisible forces that secretly drive human behaviour, getting a degree in psychology, focusing on behavioural economics.

In the summer of 2016, he randomly stumbled across a series of podcasts that exposed him to some radical new ideas. Those ideas put into question the most basic assumptions about who and what we are as human beings. An End to Upside Down Thinking will change how you look at everything!
