This is the best podcast In its space!
Sean has a brilliant mind and he does an amazing job of navigating conversations with those whom he didn doesn’t agree with.
Great for fans of Skeptics Guide or Sam Harris’ Making Sense (but w/out Sam’s particular set of biases). More science and philosophy, less pushing a set agenda.

When psychologist Scott Barry Kaufman first discovered Maslow's unfinished theory of transcendence, sprinkled throughout a cache of unpublished journals, lectures, and essays, he felt a deep resonance with his own work and life. In this groundbreaking book, Kaufman picks up where Maslow left off, unraveling the mysteries of his unfinished theory, and integrating these ideas with the latest research on attachment, connection, creativity, love, purpose and other building blocks of a life well lived.

The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe is your map through this maze of modern life. Here Dr. Steven Novella and friends will explain the tenets of skeptical thinking and debunk some of the biggest scientific myths, fallacies, and conspiracy theories - from anti-vaccines to homeopathy, UFO sightings to N-rays. You'll learn the difference between science and pseudoscience, essential critical thinking skills, ways to discuss conspiracy theories with that crazy co-worker of yours, and how to combat sloppy reasoning, bad arguments, and superstitious thinking.

Get rid of sloppy thinking!
Revisado: 04-14-19
This book helped me. This book is a fantastic guide to how and why our conceptions of our subjective experiences are riddled with inconsistencies. This book can help equip you to realize your mental shortcomings and help you think more clearly. The examples are highly relevant and perhaps even inflammatory enough to inspire you to go and research for yourself. Dr Novella does a wonderful job reading this book.
I can’t recommend this highly enough. Between the Kindle and Audible versions I’ve now read/listened to this book 4x since Dec 2018 ( as of April 2019 ).
This book changed my life and helped me let go of some seriously harmful baggage. Allowing yourself to think for yourself and only follow what actually MAKES SENSE to you... is incredibly liberating. Highly recommend.

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 472
Before the birth of the universe, there existed your Original Face, the limitless Self that has been present throughout the unfolding of inert matter into life - and that continues to dwell within us at every level of consciousness. Where is this grand evolution taking us, and how can each of us participate in it more fully? On Kosmic Consciousness, Ken Wilber invites you to find out. Since the first publication of his groundbreaking ideas at the age of 23, Ken Wilber has sought to bring together the world's far-ranging spiritual teachings, philosophies, and scientific truths into one coherent and all-embracing vision.

Mind opening experience
Revisado: 03-10-17
This is an amazing introduction to Integral theory. This is the most comprehensive approach to understanding reality ( the Kosmos, not just cosmos ) that I've ever been exposed to.
I've studied Christianity which led me to Eastern Orthodoxy and their spiritual and mystical approached and practices, Buddhism, Taoism and Hinduism along with a bit of Shintoism.
This approach recognizes the validity of each of these without falling into the trap of just picking and choosing the parts that you like about each.
This will quite literally change the way in which you are aware.
