World Game-ChangersConsciousness: The New Wealth - Mark Gober
In today's episode, Paul talks to author and researcher Mark Gober, an expert in the field of consciousness and existence.
His belief is that the physical world is a manifestation of our own consciousness, which is a theory gaining strong momentum in the scientific community.
We explore compelling evidence from a diverse set of disciplines, ranging from psychic phenomena, near-death experiences, to quantum physics and beyond.
Listeners will find comfort in this implied worldview, which will impact their happiness and everyday decisions related to business, health and politics.
- Consciousness - subjective inner experience or awareness
- The physical world is a manifestation of consciousness
- Consciousness and identity
- Personal desire
- Letting go of attachment to outcomes
- Not suppressing emotion, but embracing it
- Affective forecasting errors - predicting how we will feel about situations/outcomes in the future is often inaccurate. i.e. fear about future events is often unfounded.
- Good and bad are subjective - re-frame perspective
- The hedonic treadmill - whenever you achieve progress, that becomes the new norm, so you're constantly going back to zero.
- Near-death experiences
- Achieving happiness

ABOUT THE HOST
Something that’s never been attached to Paul is the label ‘normal’ – for which he is immensely proud. He definitely subscribes to being one of those mentioned – in the Steve Jobs quote:
“Here's to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes... the ones who see things differently -- they're not fond of rules... You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them, but the only thing you can't do is ignore them because they change things... they push the human race forward, and while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius, because the ones who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do.”
