Jamie Wheal on Finding Meaning at the End of the World | The Mindspace Podcast #33

“Life is tragic, and occasionally it's magic.”
In this episode of the Mindspace podcast, Dr. Joe speaks with Jamie Wheal, author of Recapture the Rapture: Rethinking God, Sex and Death In a World That’s Lost Its Mind and the Pulitzer-nominated bestseller Stealing Fire: How Silicon Valley, Navy SEALs, and Maverick Scientists Are Revolutionizing the Way We Live and Work. He is also the founder and executive director of the Flow Genome Project whose purpose is to build “world-class training programs on peak performance, optimal psychology and leadership.” His work has been covered in the New York Times, Financial Times, Wired, Entrepreneur, Forbes, and many other publications.
Jamie synthesizes history, psychology, neuroscience, and anthropology in order to create techniques and cultural practices centred around transforming human beings through non-ordinary states. Those practices include breathing techniques and psychedelics.

This message is so optimistic in a practical way - like nothing I've heard - I'm inspired and profoundly moved to own this life I'm experiencing and "Do what I must so that the shock waves go out through eternity". Thank you both for BEING and doing this work 🎉

Awesome interview. He explained so many topics that have been floating around in my head for years. Very well organized and articulated.
