Dr. Tony Nader is a medical doctor, neuroscientist, and the global leader of the Transcendental Meditation movement. He holds an MD from the American University of Beirut and a PhD in neuroscience from MIT.

In this conversation, we explore Dr. Nader’s provocative claim that consciousness is not a byproduct of the brain—but the ground of all being. Drawing on neuroscience, quantum physics, and thousands of years of contemplative practice, he shares a paradigm that reframes life’s biggest questions—from free will and death to the nature of truth, karma, and the self.

Expect to learn:

— What Maslow got wrong and the practical value of transcending before striving

— Why expanding consciousness is the purpose of life

— Dr Nader’s views on the relationship between the brain and consciousness.

— What this model says about death, reincarnation, and the expansion of self

And more.
