We discuss Self-Deception, Flow States, Mystical Experience, and where we go to find Wisdom and Meaning in our lives. John is a professor of Cognitive Science and Psychology at the University of Toronto. He's also studied in Buddhism and Tai Chi. He hopes to organize a psilocybin micro-dosing study at the University, and he talks about the difficulties in his way when it comes to getting a study like that approved.  We really touch on a lot here, and John's passion and enthusiasm carries us through the conversation. It was a real pleasure for me to break down these ideas with him, so I hope everyone enjoys the chat as much as I did!    Find John at his YouTube page: https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/johnvervaeke And his website: http:\/\/johnvervaeke.com And his book on Zombies and the Meaning Crisis: https:\/\/www.openbookpublishers.com\/product\/602   INSTAGRAM: www.instagram.com\/change.truth TWITTER: www.twitter.com\/Change_Truth FACEBOOK: www.facebook.com\/ChangeTruth   Intro song: "Lovin' Your Neighbour" by Phat Bollard Check Them out: https:\/\/www.phatbollard.co.uk And buy their music! https:\/\/phatbollard.bandcamp.com   More at www.changetruth.com jj ","author_name":"Change Truth","author_url":"http:\/\/www.changetruth.com","html":"
