Podcast appearances and mentions of chris niebauer

This episode is a portion of a recent community guest speaker call with Chris Niebauer. Chris came back to the community to discuss what I love to talk about – imagination versus reality. Chris talked about the complete made-up-ness of words. Words, especially ones like ownership and success, are massive abstractions that are not here in The post EP358: Abstractions and Reality with Chris Niebauer appeared first on Dr. Amy Johnson.

In his superb book No Self, No Problem: How Neuropsychology is catching up to Buddhism Chris Niebauer explains how the left side of the brain — brilliant at language and problem-solving — also creates constant mental chatter. It labels, judges, compares, and spins stories, including the biggest story of all — the idea of a solid identity or self-concept. But this overthinking isn't who we are — it's just a habit of the left brain doing what it does. In this conversation, Chris shares how recognising this can free us from getting caught in endless thought loops, helping us drop back into the present moment where clarity, ease, and creativity naturally arise. Key Insights: The left brain is responsible for language, categorization, and creating a narrative of who we are Our thinking mind is not our true self, but a survival mechanism that generates constant stories Suffering often leads people to spiritual exploration and understanding consciousness The right brain represents intuition, playfulness, and immediate experience Consciousness is fundamental, not an emergent property of the brain Meditation and self-inquiry can help us recognize the space between thoughts Themes Explored: The illusion of self Limitations of psychology and materialism Flow states and intuition The role of suffering in personal growth Potential of AI and consciousness If you would like to explore more you can sign up for my free mini-course on finding flow: https://www.simonmundie.com/restore-balance-mini-course Or get in touch about 1:1 explorations: https://www.simonmundie.com/restore-balance-coaching Other links: YouTube: https://tinyurl.com/YouTubeSimonMundie Book: https://www.simonmundie.com/book Website: simonmundie.com Substack Newsletter: https://simonmundie.substack.com/ Learn more about your ad choices.

America has a big problem. Most Americans feel their problems will be solved if the political party they prefer is the party in charge. But in this delicate conversation between Lisa and her friend Chris Niebauer, Ph,D., they point to the bigger problem of a nation divided. When we engage in “othering,” of any kind, we are training ourselves away from our most natural human capacities for empathy and compassion toward all people. And the tragedy is that you can't erase empathy from your heart in only that selective way. If you're training yourself out of that capacity, you risk losing it across the board. Lisa and Chris share the perspective that any kind of “othering” is harmful to all parties – to the party being hated, and equally harmful to the party doing the hating.

Special Announcement #2 Here's some GREAT news! The Feeling Great App is now available in both app stores (IOS and Android) and is for therapists and the general public, and you can take a ride for free! Check it Today's Podcast Practical Philosophy Month Part 2, Do Humans have “Selves”? This is our second podcast in our Practical Philosophy Month. Last week, in our first episode, we focused on the “free will” question. As humans, we all feel like we have “free will,” but is it just an illusion, especially if all our actions are the result of the physical processes in our brains and the laws of the universe? The Bible certainly dealt with this in the book of Genesis, where we learn that the first humans, Adam and Eve, were given a wonderful Garden of Eden to live in, but they had to choose whether or not to obey God's rule NOT to eat the forbidden fruit from the tree of knowledge of good and evil. They chose to eat the fruit, implying that humans have free choice. But the philosophical arguments rage on. In today's podcast, we are joined by two beloved and brilliant colleagues, Drs. Matthew May and Fabrice Nye, as we explore the question of whether or not the “self” exists. We all feel like we have a “self,” but is this real or just an illusion? When you try to define your “self,” you may run into problems. For example, you might think that the “self” has to be the part of us that does not change from moment to moment, and is always ‘the same.” For example, I might think back on my childhood and feel convinced that I was the “same David Burns” then that I am now. And, if you are religious, you might also be comforted by the idea that your “self” is the same as your “soul,” and that you will therefore live on after you die. This concept of a “soul” is a core belief in many religions. But are we fooling ourselves? And what was the Buddha thinking about 2,500 years ago when we talked about enlightenment as resulting from the “Great Death” of the “self.” He seemed to be hinting that something wonderful can happen when you give up the idea that you have a “self.” In the original draft of my book, Feeling Great, I had a chapter on entitled, “Do you need a “self?” Join the Grateful Dead.” I tried to persuade readers that the existence of a “self” is nonsense, based on the philosophy of Ludwig Wittgenstein in his famous book, Philosophical Investigations. But readers found the chapter so upsetting that I decided, on their urging, to delete it from the manuscript, which I did. My goal is not to disturb people, but to provide a path to joy and to loving connections with others. But to this day, I still get emails from people asking me to offer that chapter, or to deal more deeply with this concept of the “self” vs “no self” in a podcast. So, here is my attempt today. I will start with my own take, and then summarize some of the views about the self that were expressed by Fabrice, Matt, and Rhonda during the show. Here's my thinking. There are many key questions you could ask about the concept of the “self?” including: Do we have a “self?” And if so, what is it? Does the first question even make sense? I'm sure you would agree that if a question doesn't make sense, then it isn't a “real” question, and there really isn't anything to talk about. Then we can just stop feeling frustrated and perplexed, and move on with our lives. That is the precise position that the late Wittgenstein would probably have taken. He stated that words have no ultimate or “true” meaning outside of the various contexts in which we use them in daily life. Most words have many meanings, because they are used in different ways, and you can find most of the meanings in any dictionary. So, if you think of the word, “game,” you will quickly realize that it does not have one “true” or essential meaning. It can mean a sports competition, with two teams competing against each, like soccer. But you can have two teams competing in some way other than a sport. And you don't even need two teams to have a “game.” For example, some games are played by one individual, like solitaire with a deck of cards. Or you can think about the “dating game,” or refer to “game birds,” or a “game boxer.” In short, there is not some single “correct” meaning to the word, “game.” Some uses have overlapping meanings, and some uses do not overlap at all with other uses. So, there is no point in trying to figure out if “games exist,” or what the ultimate or essential meaning is of the word, “game.” Now, how do we use the word, “self,” and what does it mean in each context? You might tell your child to behave themself. This simply means that they are misbehaving and will be punished if they don't behave more politely. You do not have to tell the child that their “self” also has to behave better, because that would be meaningless. We already told the child to change their behavior. You could ask friends, as I did this morning, if they are planning to join me on the Sunday hike. Two of them confirmed and said that “they” would join me today on our hike. I did have to ask them if they would be bringing their “selves,” because I just do not know what that would mean! They already told me they're coming to the hike. (They did come and we had a lot of fun.) In my extremely challenging freshman English class at Amherst College, we had to write two or three papers per week on odd topics. The teachers were relentlessly critical in their feedback, and would nearly always point out that we sounded incredibly phony and need to find our true voices, which came from our real selves, as opposed to the false fronts we often used to try to impress people. Almost every student got dumped on constantly! The professors weren't referring to some metaphysical “true selves.” They were just referring to the fact that our writing didn't sound natural, compelling, or vulnerable, and so forth. Our writing was, for the most part, an enormous turn-off. Most of us never could figure out quite what that class was all about, but it was useful as I became more sensitive to the “tone” or “voice” in any writing. I would have to concede that it was a sobering but helpful class. But they were not referring to some mystical “true self” we had to find. They just wanted us to stop writing in such a sucky way! So here is my point, which you might “not get.” When you keep the word, “self,” in the context of everyday life, it is obvious what it means, and it never refers to some metaphysical “thing” that we could “have” or “not have.” It is just a vague, abstract concept that is devoid of meaning when it's all by itself. A “self,” just like “free will,” is not some “thing” that we might, or might not, have. The question, “Does the self exist,” according to Wittgenstein (or his big fan David) has no meaning and so we can just ignore it. It's not a real question. It is, as Wittgenstein was fond of saying, “language that's out of gear.” Now, does this discussion have anything to do with emotional problems, or TEAM therapy? It absolutely does. That's because nearly all depression results from some version of “I'm not good enough,” including: I'm inferior. I'm a loser. I'm a “hopeless case.” I'm a failure. I'm unlovable. I'm a bad parent. I'm defective. And so forth. If you buy into these “self” condemning proclamations, thinking that they mean something, you'll probably feel depressed, ashamed, inadequate, hopeless, and more. As you can probably see, all these self-critical thoughts contain tons of cognitive distortions, like All-or-Nothing Thinking, Overgeneralization, Labeling, Mental Filtering, Emotional Reasoning, Self-Blame, Hidden Shoulds, and more And to put it in a nutshell, they ALL involve the belief that you have a “self” that's broken, or simply not “good enough.” And all of those statements are meaningless. My goal in therapy is NOT to persuade you that you ARE worthwhile, or “a winner,” or a “good” parent, but rather to show you how to let go of these meaningless but painful ways of belittling yourself. I might use techniques like Empathy, Positive Reframing, Explain the Distortions, Let's Define Terms, Be Specific, the Double Standard Technique, the Externalization of Voices, the Downward Arrow, and many more. That's because the VERY moment you suddenly “see” that these kinds of statements are both untrue and unfair, and you stop believing them, your feelings will instantly change. So, you could say that TEAM really IS a “Wittgensteinian” therapy. And when people ask me how to develop better self-esteem, I would not try to get them to discover how to have some magical and wonderful “thing” called self-esteem, because that concept is just as nonsensical as the concept of a “self.” You might say that “self-esteem,” if you want to use the term, is more about what you DO. And there are two things you can do if you want to change the way you feel. First, you can stop beating up on yourself with hostile criticisms like the bulleted statements listed above, and talk to yourself in the same encouraging way you might talk to a dear friend or loved one who was hurting. And second, you can treat yourself in a loving way, in just the same way you might treat your best friend who was coming for a visit. In other words, you can do nice things for yourself. The day my first book, “Feeling Good,” was finally published, my editor called me with some bad news. She told me that the publisher, William Morrow and Company, loses money on 9 out of 10 of the books they publish, so they decide which ones are most likely to sell, and those are the only ones they'll promote. The rest of the books go on a “loser list,” and the company does little or nothing to promote them. She said my book was #1 on their “loser list,” since the president of the company felt it had no commercial potential, and that very few people would be interest in a long book on depression. She added that the one thing they did do was to send my book to ten popular magazines for first serial rights. That means they get to publish an excerpt from your book as an article, so that stirs up some media interest in your book. Sadly, she said that all ten had turned them down. She said that I'd have to be in charge of any further marketing of my book, so I asked what I should do. She said to call all ten magazines right away and persuade them to change their minds. In a panic, I called them all, including Ladies' Home Journal, Reader's Digest, and on and on. Every magazine said the same thing—they did not want my book, had turned it down, had zero interest in it, and to please top calling since authors shouldn't call them and they considered it a form of phone harassment since they'd already made a decision. Yikes! No fun! When I jogged home from the train station that night, I shouted, “You're a loser, you're a failure.” That didn't sound so good so then I shouted, “No, you're not! You'll figure out how to make it happen! Just keep plugging away.” That sounded a lot more loving, so when I got home, I told my wife that the book at just been published and that I'd been turned down by all ten magazines for serial rights, and the publisher decided not to spend any money on marketing or advertising, so we needed to go out and celebrate. She why we would celebrate? I said, “You don't need to celebrate when you win, because you already feel great. But when you lose, that's when you need to celebrate, because you're feeling down. So, tonight we'll celebrate!” We went out for a fancy dinner and celebrated and had fun. And the rest, they say, is history. I just kept trying and getting turned down by newspapers, radio stations, television programs, and more. But eventually, the tide started to turn. To date, Feeling Good has sold more than 5 million copies and it achieved best-seller status. And the reason was that researchers discovered that the book actually had antidepressant properties, so excitement about it spread by word of mouth. I am hopeful that the new Feeling Great App will help even more people. Fabrice made some interesting and wise comments on the notion of the “self.” He said that the idea that we have a “self” is a sense that we nearly all have. Some people feel like the “self” that is located somewhere behind the eyes or in the middle of the head. But, he emphasizes, there is no such “thing” as a “self.” He has quoted someone who has “said it all,” but the statement only makes sense IF you “get it!” Here's the quote: “No Self? No Problem!” This is actually the title of a book by Chris Niebauer, PhD, and the subtitle is How Neuropsychology Is Catching Up to Buddhism. If you want to check it out, here's a link to it on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/No-Self-Problem-Neuropsychology-Catching/dp/1938289978 Fabrice emphasized that the concept of “self” is “nebulous.” He asked, “Is there a ‘David'?” He explained: You wouldn't be able to prove this in court. Well, you could show ID, but that would not be proof. Where does the information on the ID come from? Birth certificate? Who wrote the information on the birth certificate? Probably some doctor back in 1942. And where did he get that information from? Probably some caregiver said “Write ‘David' here.” Was that from a credible source? Not at all. That info was made up on the spot! Now, you can say that there's a “sense” of a David going around, and that there are some patterns that show signs of “David-ness,” but there is no “David.” Matt added that your body is not your “self.” When you break your arm, you don't say that you have broken a part of your “self.” You just say, “I broke my arm.” Rhonda raised the question of whether the “self” is just the same as “consciousness” or “awareness.” Someone in our group added that the “self” is what we DO, and not what we ARE. And, of course, what we are doing is constantly changing from moment to moment. My understanding of all of this is that once you let go of the notion that you have a “self,” you will no longer worry about whether or not you are “good enough” or “special,” or whoever. You can focus instead on living your life and solving the problems of daily living and appreciating the world around you. If you screw up, you can focus on what specific error you made, rather than obsessing about your inferior or defective “self.” You can actually welcome failure as just another teacher, so you can grow and learn, and simply accept your screw ups, or both. In fact, two of the most popular TEAM techniques for challenging the distorted thoughts in bullets above are called “Let's Define Terms” and “Be Specific.” These techniques are right out of Wittgenstein's playbook, and they are prominently featured in the “Learn” section of the new Feeling Great App. If you're feeling depressed, and thinking of yourself as a “loser” or as being “inferior” or even “worthless,” the goal is NOT to “become a ‘winner,” or more ‘worthwhile,' but rather to give up these notions as nonsensical. But once again, many people cannot “get it,” or “see it,” and that's where a caring and skillful therapist can help. Some people wrongly think that letting go of the notion that you could be “worthwhile” would mean a huge loss of something precious. Many people who don't yet “see” what we're trying to say are terrified of the “Great Death” because they think that giving up the notion that you have a “self” means giving up all hope for improvement, for joy, for intimacy, and so forth. But to my way of thinking, the truth is just the opposite. When your “self” dies, you and your world suddenly wake up and come to life. When you accept yourself and your world, exactly as they are right now, everything suddenly changes. Of course, that's a paradox. I believe that leading our patients to the “Great Death” of the “self” is like giving them the understanding and courage they need to throw some garbage in the trash instead of carrying the garbage around with them all the time! I hope some of this makes a little sense, but if not, don't worry about. Sometimes, it takes a little time before you suddenly “see it!” Thanks for listening today. We love all of you! Rhonda, Fabrice, Matt, and David

No Self No Problem by Chris Niebauer Ph.D. a groundbreaking book, writes that the latest research in neuropsychology is now confirming a fundamental tenet of Buddhism, what is called Anatta, or the doctrine of “no self.” Our sense of self, or what we commonly refer to as the ego, is an illusion created entirely by the left side of the brain. It is an open invitation to not simply believe what is being said, it is guidance to experience this truth for yourself.

When he presented his findings to a professor, his ideas were quickly dismissed as “pure coincidence, nothing more.”Fast-forward 20 years later and Niebauer is a PhD and a tenured professor, and the Buddhist-neuroscience connection he found as a student is practically its own genre in the bookstore. But according to Niebauer, we are just beginning to understand the link between Eastern philosophy and the latest findings in psychology and neuroscience and what these assimilated ideas mean for the human experience.Chris Niebauer earned his Ph.D. in cognitive neuropsychology at the University of Toledo, specializing in the differences between the left and right sides of the human brain.

How can you deal with intrusive thoughts? If you are “not your thoughts” then who are you really? What does your left brain and right brain have to do with suffering and happiness? How can you update your (dysfunctional) mind program to reduce suffering, increase happiness and find inner peace? These are some of the topics covered by cognitive neuropsychologist, university professor and author Dr Chris Niebauer. He is a specialist on  consciousness, mindfulness, left- and right-brain differences, and artificial intelligence, and in this episode he explains and even shows you through some simple exercises that many of your problems are due to relentless thinking, but that thinking is not who you are and it is something you have the power to change. Are we friends on socials yet?

Machines can obviously perform tasks that once required human intuition and creativity. So what do we have left? In the long run, is there anything in human thinking that will differentiate us from artificial intelligence? Yes. In this episode of The Gentle Rebel Podcast, I talk to neuropsychology professor and author Dr Chris Niebauer, who is the author of No Self, No Problem: How Neuropsychology is Catching Up To Buddhism. There is so much to unpack about creative play, flow, and learning to hold ourselves and the world in more helpful, healthy, and humane ways. Since I first read the book, I've wanted to speak with Chris. And if you've ever wondered who you are, then I'm sure you'll enjoy our conversation!

Split-Brain Research and Investigating Two Sides of The Mind | 15:04 Split-brain research refers to the study of the effects of severing the corpus callosum, the structure that connects the two hemispheres of the brain. It suggests there are two fundamentally different modes of processing the world, which we can shift between. This has led to the popular idea that the brain's left hemisphere is more logical and analytical and processes language. In contrast, the right hemisphere is more creative and intuitive and processes spatial information. For more information about split-brain research, Chris recommends The Master and His Emissary: The Divided Brain and the Making of the Western World by Iain McGilchrist. Tools of The Thinking Interpreter | 18:22 The split-brain studies found an inner interpreter in the left brain, which makes up stories to explain the world and justify our decisions. Categorical identities inform our judgements and beliefs. The story of me that can be taken away at any minute (what we invest our sense of identity in). We need categories, judgements, and beliefs but problems often stem from how we hold them to the idea of an essential or true self. The right brain embraces a more eternal, non-material, and non-categorical position. The self is fundamentally mysterious; if you think you've pinned it down,

In this episode, we welcome back neuropsychologist Chris Niebauer to continue our conversation on how you can harness the power of your brain and avoid getting lost in your thoughts. Chris shares both scientific and practical tips for understanding the nature of the human mind and how we can learn to use our mind as a tool, without getting used by it.  Key Takeaways: The thinking mind was created to help us survive in a world we no longer live in. As our world evolved, our programmed mind stayed the same.Awakening happens when we learn to disidentify with our minds, and connect more directly with our higher selves. You can't solve the  “problem” of thinking, with more thinking.  True solutions arise when the mind is still. The role of the mind provides a shared consensual sense of reality. It allows us to experience the human illusion. It creates a sense of time and tells us how the world works. However, what has happened is the mind has taken over when it's no longer necessary to rule our lives.Each moment, you have the power to reconnect to your soul and refocus your attention to choose how you want to feel. Connect and learn with Chris Niebauer here:Website: https://chrisniebauerphd.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/chris5264/videos Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/noselfnoproblem No Self, No Problem: How Neuropsychology Is Catching Up To Buddhism by Chris Niebauer can be found here: https://bookshop.org/shop/VictoriashawintuitiveDisclosure: I am an affiliate of Bookshop.org and I will earn a commission if you click through and make a purchase.Listen to the first episode with Chris Niebauer: No Self, No Problem, here: https://victoriashawintuitive.com/podcast/ep-82-no-self-no-doubt-featuring-chris-niebauer/ Did you know I offer intuitive readings and coaching sessions to clients all over the world?   You can book your session here:  https://app.paperbell.com/checkout/packages?provider_id=13555Connect and learn with me here:https://victoriashawintuitive.com/www.instagram.com/victoriashawintuitiveIf you would like to connect with other like-minded souls, take a deeper dive into the topics discussed in these episodes, or learn more about how to awaken to your own inner magnificence, please join us in my Facebook group, Intuitive Connection Community here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/IntuitiveconnectioncommunityAre you ready to take the next steps in awakening your intuition?  Please enjoy and download a copy of my Free Activate Your Intuition Ebook: https://victoriashawintuitive.com/free-e-book/If you would like to take a deeper dive into leveraging the power of your intuition, please check out my self-paced, online course, Activating Your Intuition at:https://victoriashawintuitive.com/courses/activating-your-intuition/On Clubhouse: @victoriashaw

If you were an all-powerful, all-knowing consciousness, you could never know sadness, loss, anxiety, surprise, or the excitement of not knowing what will happen next. An all-knowing consciousness could not enjoy jokes or cry at tragedies. By playing the game, consciousness delights in every experience possible, and the only way to do that is for it to lose itself in us.In the same way that a glass of water is exponentially more satisfying after a five-mile hike in the desert, the experience of feeling the interconnectedness of everything is more fulfilling after the illusion of separation. This is the fun of the game. This is the fun of waking up.

Join us as we welcome back Dr. Chris Niebauer to talk about overcoming left-brain laziness with logic, fun, and awareness. In this episode, we will uncover the difference between our left and right brain, how our left brain can impact our sense of self, and ultimately how to overcome that false perception.Dr. Chris Niebauer earned his Ph.D. in cognitive neuropsychology at the University of Toledo, specializing in the differences between the left and right sides of the human brain. He is currently a professor at Slippery Rock University in Pennsylvania, where he teaches courses on consciousness, mindfulness, left- and right-brain differences, and artificial intelligence. Dr. Chris Niebauer is a PhD and a tenured professor, and the Buddhist-neuroscience connection he found as a student is practically its own genre in the bookstore. But according to Niebauer, we are just beginning to understand the link between Eastern philosophy and the latest findings in psychology and neuroscience and what these assimilated ideas mean for the human experience. He is the author of NO SELF NO PROBLEM: How Neuropsychology Is Catching Up To BUDDHISM. In his groundbreaking book, Niebauer writes that our sense of self, or what we commonly refer to as the ego, is an illusion created entirely by the left side of the brain. What makes this book unique is that Niebauer offers a series of exercises to allow the reader to experience this truth for themself, as well as additional tools and practices to use after reading the book, all of which are designed to change the way we experience the world—a way that is based on being rather than thinking.In the Adjusted Reality podcast, well-known athletes, celebrities, actors, chiropractors, influencers in the wellness industry, and other podcasters will talk with host Dr. Sherry McAllister, president, F4CP, about their experiences with health and wellness. As a special gift for listening today visit f4cp.org/health to get a copy of our mind, body, spirit eBook which focuses on many ways to optimize your health and the ones you love without the use of drugs or surgery. Follow Adjusted Reality on Instagram.Find A Doctor of Chiropractic Near You.

Last time, we discussed the importance of loosening our attachment to our beliefs in order to have more productive discussions with people who disagree with us. Loosening our attachment to one belief in particular can alleviate mental suffering, boost our productivity through flow, and help us experience transcendence. What am I talking about?I'm talking about rejecting the idea of the self. No, I don't mean those experiments where someone tries a series of progressively stranger tasks in order to become desensitized to the sting of rejection. I'm talking about letting go of the concept of the self completely.The Self Is an IllusionFrench philosopher René Descartes once famously said, “Cogito ergo sum”—I think, therefore I am. Or to be more precise, “Dubito, ergo cogito, ergo sum”—I doubt, therefore I think, therefore I am.Some philosophers and neuroscientists argue that Descartes' statement may be a non-sequitur, and the insecurity of needing affirmation of self-existence is likely in vain. According to Buddhist and Taoist philosophy, the idea of a stable, continuous self is an illusion, and a sizeable body of neuroscience research affirms this viewpoint.The self is likely a social construct consisting of our values, interests, hopes, fears, dreams, and relationships. If the self doesn't exist, any attacks on our personal character are rendered meaningless.In an amusing scene from Friends, Rachel and Monica take offense when Phoebe suggests that Rachel is a pushover and Monica is high maintenance. When Rachel and Monica counter that Phoebe is flaky, Phoebe remains unbothered and concedes that she is indeed flaky.How exactly is this illusion created?In his book No Self, No Problem, Chris Niebauer explains that the left side of the brain is responsible for processing language, interpreting meaning, and crafting stories. Consider the word ‘book.' What exactly does it mean? We might say it's a medium for recording information with writing and images, often bound by a cover.But we can't assign a quality that is universal to all books. Language is a tool that we use in order to interpret and understand reality; it gives us the illusion that the names we assign to things have actual meaning. But these names are simply shorthands or proxies to understand our surroundings.Perhaps René Magritte was trying to convey a similar idea in his infamous painting The Treachery of Images, which features the phrase “Ceci n'est pas une pipe” (French for "This is not a pipe") under the image of a tobacco pipe. Explaining the reasoning behind his painting, Magritte said:The famous pipe. How people reproached me for it! And yet, could you stuff my pipe? No, it's just a representation, is it not? So if I had written on my picture ‘This is a pipe,' I'd have been lying!The pipe in the painting is not an actual pipe but a visual representation of one. To borrow from Polish-American scholar Alfred Korzybski, “The word is not the thing.”Niebauer points out that the illusion of the self is similar to that of a mirage in a desert—you observe, visualize, and experience it; it's just not actually there. If you try to answer the question “Who am I?,” your left brain will likely come up with a multitude of categories to define your selfhood such as gender, occupation, religion, values, and interests.But remove categories from the equation, and it becomes significantly harder to pin down the essence of who you are. The “I” is an illusion extrapolated from the language the left brain uses to process reality.Our left brains even assign meaning to various visual inputs. The Rorschach inkblot test is a way to conceptualize how this works. The Rorschach asks users to look at inkblot patterns on paper and report what they see. The act of ascribing meaning to these random images is a way to look at how the left brain works in real-time.Given an identical inkblot image, two people can have vastly different interpretations—informed by their own individual reference frames. Recognizing patterns can be helpful but can also lead to unnecessary suffering. Let's consider a real-world example.If an employee sees her fellow coworkers congregated together in the break room while whispering and casting glances in her direction, she may assume that her colleagues are conspiring against her. But they could just as well be planning a surprise in her honor.Our brains seek out patterns to explain reality. But these patterns only exist in our minds, and we need to realize that in order to reduce mental suffering.What's the antidote?How then can we quiet our left brains? If the left brain is the language processing center, then the right brain is the spatial center responsible for movement-based activities. Yoga and exercise are both great ways to tap into right-brain consciousness. The right brain is also responsible for our sense of intuition or that “gut feeling” we get when we have a hunch but can't exactly explain the reason for it.Practicing compassion and gratitude are two additional ways to engage your right brain. Buddhism defines compassion as “the ability to see another person as ourselves.” Compassion originates in the RTPJ, which sounds like a Myers-Briggs personality type but isn't. The RTPJ, or right temporoparietal junction, allows us to consider things from someone else's point of view.Gratitude also activates the right brain. A 2014 study published in Social Cognitive and Affective Neuroscience found that individuals who regularly practiced gratitude had more gray matter volume in the right inferior temporal gyrus. So the next time you find yourself stuck in rush-hour traffic or the middle of a rainstorm, remember that your perception of these experiences as ‘unfortunate' is simply a byproduct of one half of your brain. Rejecting this interpretation and replacing it with gratitude for the time to yourself will help prevent needless stress, anxiety, and mental suffering.In the same way that quieting the left brain can have health benefits, so too can deactivating the default mode network (DMN), which comprises several regions of the brain. The DMN is involved in activities of “wakeful rest” such as daydreaming or planning for the future. Research suggests that deactivating the DMN can help reduce stress and the risk of developing dementia.Uitwaaien, the Dutch term for unwinding, refers to the practice of spending time in natural environments and has been proposed as a method to modulate DMN hyperactivity. Along a similar vein, a 2019 study examined how playing sports can help athletes cut through “brain static” in order to better interpret audio inputs. Researchers hypothesized that the athletes' ability to tune out background noise could help prevent injuries and cardiovascular disease.Tapping Into Flow Means Letting GoAnother reason to reject the self is to boost productivity by tapping into flow, that state of being “in the zone.” When you refer to yourself as “I”, you invoke the ego (a construct of the left brain), but ego death allows us to focus more intently on creative pursuits.In order to tap into flow, we have to let go of our sense of self. That means releasing ourselves of any doubts, anxieties, fears, or insecurities. Flow is necessary for mastery of creative, artistic, and athletic endeavors.C. Wilson Meloncelli describes flow as a state between the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems. In other words, flow lies somewhere between “fight or flight” and “rest and digest.” Flow occurs when you are disengaged from your sense of self and work becomes effortless.Athletes, artists, and musicians frequently tap into the flow state when practicing their craft. Wide receiver Jerry Rice, soccer legend Pelé, cellist Yo-Yo Ma, and violinist Itzhak Perlman are all prime examples. Author and coach Brad Stulberg explains,Releasing from such a tight attachment to one's self is a hallmark of flow, or that highly sought after state of being fully in the zone. Losing oneself is also the goal of most spiritual disciplines. (And athletic and creative ones, too.) The more you forget about yourself, the better you'll feel, the better you'll do, and the better you'll be.It's no wonder then that self-absorption is strongly correlated with clinical depression, anxiety, and other mental health conditions. And the modern-day ethos unfortunately encourages self-absorption through influencer culture and appeals to the importance of building a personal brand.But Stulberg offers a couple ways to escape the perpetual cycle of self-consumption:Pursue mastery in any discipline: In his book Drive, Daniel Pink explains that autonomy, mastery, and purpose are deeply critical to high performance and life satisfaction. Psychologist Carol Ryff discovered that people who exhibited “a feeling of continued development” ranked higher on measures of life satisfaction and self-esteem than those who did not.Practice kindness: While devoting oneself to mastery is immensely powerful, devoting oneself to others may be mightier still. Sonya Lyubomirsky, one of the world's foremost happiness researchers, finds that individuals who regularly engage in volunteering, mentoring, coaching, or writing letters of gratitude report more positive emotions, both in the short-term and long-term. Psychologist Daryl Van Tongeren has corroborated her findings, reporting that altruistic acts give people a sense of meaning in their lives.When we take our attention off ourselves and our personal problems and dedicate ourselves to helping someone else, we gain so much in return.— Kathryn LubowLose Yourself to Live Life to the FullestYou better lose yourself in the music, the momentYou own it, you better never let it goYou only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blowThis opportunity comes once in a lifetime, yo— Eminem, “Lose Yourself”Losing ourselves allows us to be fully present and live in the moment, and self-transcendent experiences have been shown to make us happier, kinder, and less stressed. We experience self-transcendence when we offer ourselves in service to others but also when we stand rapt in awe.We experience the feeling of being awestruck when we witness the sheer magnitude of formations like the Grand Canyon, phenomena like the Northern Lights, and structures like the Taj Mahal. In his webseries, Shots of Awe, Jason Silva defines awe as “an experience of such perceptual vastness you literally have to reconfigure your mental models of the world to assimilate it.”Arizona State University psychology professor Dr. Michelle Shiota explains, “The experience of awe involves feeling very small and insignificant yet also connected to something much greater than the self.” Experiences of awe have been shown to bolster resilience and increase feelings of compassion, empathy, altruism, and well-being.To recap, rejecting the notion of the self can make us happier, help us tap into the flow state for improved productivity, and experience the benefits of awe. The brain's left hemisphere, responsible for interpreting reality and recognizing patterns, creates the illusion of a stable, continuous self and often distracts us with inaccurate interpretations of reality.To counteract the left brain's chatter, we can engage our right brain through activities such as exercise, yoga, meditation, and gratitude practices. Rejecting the self frees up cognitive load, which allows us to enter the flow state, essential for mastery. Losing ourselves in awe-inspiring experiences enriches our lives for the better.

https://youtu.be/Wjiy5PrfOxU Today we'll be discussing the different ways we tend to experience the world from the perspective of left and right brain processes. Our guest today is Dr. Chris Niebauer, a cognitive neuropsychologist who is a tenured professor at Slippery Rock University in Pennsylvania where he teaches courses on consciousness, mindfulness, left and right brain differences, and artificial intelligence. He is the author of The Neurotic's Guide to Avoiding Enlightenment: How the Left-Brain Plays Unending Games of Self-Improvement and his most recent and popular No Self No Problem - How Neuropsychology Is Catching Up To BUDDHISM In this groundbreaking book, he writes that the latest research in neuropsychology is now confirming a fundamental tenet of Buddhism, what is called Anatta, or the doctrine of “no self.” Niebauer writes that our sense of self, or what we commonly refer to as the ego, is an illusion created entirely by the left side of the brain. He had found this Buddhist-neuroscience connection when he was a student in the early 1990s,, but since then, this connection has practically become its own genre in bookstores. Today, Niebauer admits that we're just beginning to scratch the surface on the link between Eastern philosophy and the latest findings in psychology and neuroscience and what this really means for the human experience. Please help welcome Dr. Chris Niebauer.

Is there truly a science to spirituality? In today's episode we talk with Chris Niebauer all about mediation, the ego and how neuroscience is catching up to what Buddhists have taught for thousands of years. While in grad school in the early 1990s, Chris began to notice striking parallels between the latest discoveries in psychology, neuroscience, and the teachings of Buddhism, Taoism, and other schools of Eastern thought. When he presented his findings to a professor, his ideas were quickly dismissed as “pure coincidence, nothing more.” Fast-forward 20 years later and Niebauer is a PhD and a tenured professor, and the Buddhist-neuroscience connection he found as a student is practically its own genre in the bookstore. But according to Niebauer, we are just beginning to understand the link between Eastern philosophy and the latest findings in psychology and neuroscience and what these assimilated ideas mean for the human experience. Chris earned his Ph.D. in cognitive neuropsychology at the University of Toledo, specializing in the differences between the left and right sides of the human brain. He is currently a professor at Slippery Rock University in Pennsylvania, where he teaches courses on consciousness, mindfulness, left- and right-brain differences, and artificial intelligence.

The post 95: Chris Niebauer appeared first on LIVE IN LIMBO.

Chris Niebauer is the author of “No Self No Problem” a book that details how neuropsychology is catching up to Buddhism. He earned his PhD in cognitive neuropsychology at the University of Toledo, specializing in the differences between the left and right hemispheres of the brain. He is currently a professor at Slippery Rock University in Pennsylvania where he teaches courses on consciousness, mindfulness, left and right brain differences, and artificial intelligence.  In this episode, we talk about how the left brain creates the ego, left and right brain differences, and how to rebalance the brain. 

CHRIS NIEBAUER—is a neuropsychologist and college professor in Pennsylvania. His interests include investigating the nature of how our brains work or don't work, and Buddhism. He is the author of two best-selling books, The Neurotic's Guide to Avoiding Enlightenment and No Self No Problem. He has a third book on the way. Bill and Chris have known one another for a long time, on Guy Shrink they talk about several timely ideas and speak about that mythical midlife crisis.  

For as long as I can remember, I have been fascinated by the workings of the human brain, and the big questions like does the brain create consciousness and does our sense of self originate in the brain?  That's why I was excited to connect with this episode's guest, neuropsychologist and author of No Self, No Doubt: How Neuropsychology Is Catching Up To Buddhism, Chris Niebauer.  Chris' work seamlessly blends spiritually and neuropsychology, showing us how advances in brain sciences are pointing us back toward age-old spiritual teachings.   Trust me, you will not want to miss this episode! Highlights:**Chris shares his journey of awakening after a tragic loss, and how this experience transformed his work as a neuropsychologist. **Chris shares how recent discoveries in neuroscience support ancient wisdom of Buddhist teachings.** Chris explains why neuroscientists still cannot find the seat of the self in the human brain.** We discuss the differences in how the right and left brain process information and why this matters to our sense of self and spirituality** We discuss the process of spiritual evolution and awakening, and how to work with rather than fighting against the ego. **Chris highlights the importance of using your mind, rather than letting the mind use you.Connect and learn with Chris Niebauer here:Website: https://chrisniebauerphd.com/FB:https://www.facebook.com/noselfnoproblemYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/user/chris5264Connect and learn with me here:https://victoriashawintuitive.com/www.instagram.com/victoriashawintuitivehttps://www.facebook.com/groups/Intuitiveconnectioncommunityhttps://victoriashawintuitive.com/courses/activating-your-intuition/On Clubhouse: @victoriashawBooks mentioned in this episode:No Self, No Doubt: How Neuropsychology Is Catching Up To Buddhism by Chris NiebauerThe Tao of  by Physics: An Exploration of the Parallels Between Modern Physics and Eastern Mysticism by Fritjof CapraBooks can be found: https://bookshop.org/shop/VictoriashawintuitiveDisclosure: I am an affiliate of Bookshop.org and I will earn a commission if you click through and make a purchase.

In dieser Folge stellen wir Dir das Buch „Kein Ich. Kein Problem“ von Dr. Chris Niebauer vor, weil es eine interessante Verknüpfung zwischen spirituellen Prinzipien und wissenschaftlichen Beweisen herstellt. Die Neuropsychologie bestätigt, was jeder spirituell Suchende irgendwann auf einer intuitiven Ebene zu verstehen beginnt: Wir dürfen unser alltägliches Denken, unser Ego, nicht zu ernst nehmen. Je mehr Distanz wir dazu gewinnen, desto mehr innere Freiheit öffnet sich. Die Neurowissenschaft verwendet statt Ego den Begriff der „linken Gehirnhälfte“, die alles was geschieht oder nicht geschieht, pausenlos wertet, deutet und erklärt. Wir hoffen, dass Dich diese Episode an die Freiheit in Dir, jenseits des Egos, erinnert.

When you're learning a new skill, information is critical.  Without that, it's very difficult to make any kind of meaningful change.   But I see a parallel between learning new skills and respectful parenting: I like to say that love between parent and child is necessary but not sufficient - and that respect is the missing ingredient.  With learning a new skill, knowledge is necessary - but not sufficient.   And support is the missing ingredient.   You might remember from our conversation with Dr. Chris Niebauer a while ago that our overactive left brains tend to make up stories about our experiences to integrate these experiences into the narratives we tell about ourselves.   If we're “the kind of person who triumphs through adversity,” a setback will be taken in stride.  If we're “the kind of person who has been hurt,” each new individual hurt makes much more of a mark.  The new experiences have to be made to fit with the framework that's already in place.   Especially when you're learning a skill related to difficult experiences you've had, your left brain wants to keep itself safe.  It might tell you: “I don't need to do this.  Things aren't that bad.  I'll just wait until later / tomorrow / next week.”   And when that happens, you need support.  That support can be from a great friend, although sometimes you don't want even your closest friends to know that you shout at or smack your child.   Therapy can be really helpful - but it's also really expensive.   Sometimes the thing that's most helpful is someone who's learning the tools alongside you (so they aren't trying to look back and remember what it was like to be in your situation; theirs is different, but they are struggling too…) who isn't a regular presence in your life.   There's no danger you're going to run into them at the supermarket, or a kid's birthday party.   You can actually be really honest with them and know it won't come and bite you in the butt.   That's what today's guests, Marci and Elizabeth, discovered when they started working together.  Separated by cultural differences, fourteen(!) time zones, and very different lives, they found common ground in their struggles and have developed a deep and lasting friendship.   If you'd like to work on taming your triggered feelings - and get help from your own Accountabuddy in the process - the Taming Your Triggers workshop is for you.  Click the image below to learn more.

Vor einigen Wochen bekam ich ein Buch in die Finger, dessen Titel mich neugierig machte. Es ist von Dr. Chris Niebauer und heißt „Kein Ich. Kein Problem. Was Buddha schon wusste und die Neuropsychologie heute bestätigt“ In dem Buch fand ich sehr viel Inspiration – auch zu einem meiner Lieblingsthemen, die Wahrnehmung. Wir tragen auf unserem Hals eine unglaubliche Musterwahrnehmungsmaschine durch die Welt, sehen Muster, kategorisieren Dinge, erschaffen Sprache, um diese Muster zu beschreiben und das alles rasant schnell. So erschaffen wir auch ein Bild von uns selbst, da wir uns mit diesen Mustern identifizieren. Ist unser ICH also nur eine Muster-Ansammlung?

This week, I am joined by Ph.D. Chris Niebauer, author of the groundbreaking new book, No Self, No Problem: How Neuropsychology is Catching Up to Buddhism. Chris shares with me the story of how he became interested in neuroscience, psychology, and Eastern philosophy after being devastated by the loss of his father. During his studies and research in grad school, he found parallels between the latest discoveries about the brain and the philosophies of Buddhism, specifically the practices that allow us to develop an awareness and manage basic mental challenges like fear and anxiety to alleviate suffering. He wrote his book to share his findings with the world and help others who are struggling with anxiety. Chris and I talk about the interplay between consciousness and neural science, embracing emotions, and why Chris feels it’s best to have one foot in the doing world but not attach yourself to the outcomes in it. https://adamhergenrother.com/084-an-interview-with-neuroscience-consciousness-author-chris-niebauer-no-self-no-problem/ (See full show notes.)

A discussion with Ryan Otis and Chris Niebauer, author of No Self, No Problem. How Neuropsychology Is Catching Up To BUDDHISM In this groundbreaking book, Niebauer writes that the latest research in neuropsychology is now confirming a fundamental tenet of Buddhism, what is called Anatta, or the doctrine of “no self.” Niebauer writes that our sense of self, or what we commonly refer to as the ego, is an illusion created entirely by the left side of the brain. Niebauer is quick to point out that this doesn't mean that the self doesn't exist but rather that it does so in the same way that a mirage in the middle of the desert exists, as a thought rather than a thing. His conclusions have significant ramifications for much of modern psychological modalities, which he says are spending much of their time trying to fix something that isn't there. - - - - -SUPPORT THIS PODCAST & VLOG- - - - - ► Become A Member: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCv_MsYFGi-RHrNajHqqUJ6A/join ► Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/thenakedguruexperiencepodcast ► TIP JAR: paypal.me/thenakedguru - - - - - WEBSITE, SOCIAL & OTHER PROJECTS- - - - - ► Website: https://www.thenakedguruexperience.com ► Sharing Circles: https://www.rememebringourself.com ► Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thenakedguruexperience ► Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/672595846495678/ CHRIS WEBSITE: http://chrisniebauerphd.com/ CHRIS YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/user/chris5264 --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thenakedguruexperience/support

Schön, dass du hier bist! Willkommen zu meinem Podcast! Wann immer mich jemand fragt, was ich mache, druckse ich herum. Dass ich Autorin bin, erzähle ich gern. Nicht so gern verrate ich, in welchem Genre ich schreibe. Dass das Unsinn ist, weiß ich selbst. Und trotzdem ist da dieses Gefühl. Liebesromane sind doch weniger wert als ein mitreißender Thriller oder eine dramatische Biografie, oder? Wie siehst du das? Darf ich mit stolzgeschwellter Brust verlauten, dass ich Romane schreibe, die von der Liebe handeln? Oder sollte ich lieber weiterhin erzählen, dass einfach nur Romane meinen Fingern entspringen? Tiefgründig und zum Nachdenken anregend. Aber halt keine banalen Liebesgeschichten.

Schön, dass du hier bist! Willkommen zu meinem Podcast! Heute spreche ich mal wieder über ein Thema, über das ich eigentlich nicht sprechen möchte. Es geht um's Thema Marketing. In dieser Folge wirst du keine Marketing-Tipps von mir bekommen und es geht mir auch nicht darum, diese vor anderen Autoren zu verstecken. Ich finde es ganz einfach immer etwas seltsam, mein Buch anderen anzubieten. Ihnen zu sagen, dass es toll ist. Mich auf diese Weise zu präsentieren. Ich tue es, weil es nicht anders geht. Aber es ist komisch. Wie siehst du das? Findest du, Autoren dürfen Werbung für ihr Buch machen? Hast du das Gefühl, ich hätte dich für meine Bücher geworben? Findest du das dieser Podcast Werbung ist?
