The Psychologist Who Proved Trauma Can Trigger Enlightenment — Steve Taylor - E18

What if the most transformative experiences of your life — crisis, loss, near-death — aren’t things that happen TO you… But things that can permanently wake you UP? My guest today has spent two decades collecting the evidence. He’s a psychology lecturer, a bestselling author in over 20 languages, and someone Eckhart Tolle called a vital voice for the shift in human consciousness. Today we’re going into the psychology of awakening, why he believes the ego isn’t your true self but an evolutionary accident — and why he thinks the Beatles were tapping into something most of us never access. Stay with me — this one will change how you see your own mind.   Connext With Steve Website- Books: / https://www.stevenmtaylor.com/ IG: / @stevetaylorauthor     Follow Dr. JC Doornick and the Makes Sense Academy:► Makes Sense Substack - https://drjcdoornick.substack.com ► Instagram: / drjcdoornick ► Substack: / drjcdoornick ►Facebook:  / makessensepodcast ►YouTube:  / drjcdoornick     MAKES SENSE PODCAST Welcome to the Makes Sense with Dr. JC Doornick Podcast.
