After

Bruce Greyson

In 'After,' Dr. Bruce Greyson shares his transformative journey and extensive research on near-death experiences (NDEs). Starting from a position of scientific skepticism, Greyson delves into the nature of consciousness and the continuity of life beyond death. The book presents first-person accounts of NDEs, discusses various theories, and explores how these experiences can change individuals' outlooks on life. Greyson argues that dying could be a transition rather than an ending, challenging the conventional fear of death and offering a new perspective on the human experience. The book is accessible to both newcomers and those already familiar with the subject, providing a balanced and scientifically grounded exploration of NDEs.

The Spinal Engine

Serge Gracovetsky

The book presents arguments and data that suggest the spine, rather than the legs, is the main engine for human locomotion. It traces this function back to our fish ancestors and explains how the spine's activity has evolved to guide the pelvis during gait. The book provides a theoretical and clinical analysis of the normal function of the spine, describes how its function degrades, and proposes a method for objectively measuring spinal function. It also discusses the clinical use of this methodology and its implications for understanding and treating spinal injuries.

This time, we have a very special episode I recorded with my close friend Kevin Rose. We cover 2025 predictions, AI, Bitcoin, aliens, fitness goals, and much, much more. Please enjoy!
