Ep 162: Hosein Kouros-Mehr ~ Spirituality, Equanimity, Neuroscience & Transcending the Default Mode Network

Truth & Transcendence

Imagine untying the mental knots that have been holding you back and achieving a state of equanimity. In this enlightening episode, our distinguished guest, Hosein Kouros-Mehr, guides us through the fascinating interplay between equanimity and the brain's default mode network (DMN). With over 86 billion neurons at work, Hossein sheds light on how neuroscience has evolved over the past two decades to offer revolutionary insights into mental wellness. Learn how our understanding of the DMN, responsible for the wandering mind and ego, has transformed, offering new perspectives on stress, anxiety, and depression.
Dive deeper as we explore the power of the central executive network (CEN) and its ability to steer us towards self-understanding and higher consciousness. Hossein explains how the unique structure of the human brain, particularly the neocortex and prefrontal cortex, sets us apart and equips us for achieving equanimity. Historical and spiritual contexts are woven into the conversation, revealing the timeless pursuit of balance and peace across various religions. Reflecting on personal transformations, we emphasize the shift from individual survival to collective well-being, highlighting the profound impact of spirituality on health.
Our journey concludes with actionable advice and heartfelt gratitude. Discover practical ways to ground yourself in the present, from listening to music to engaging in mindful gardening. Hosein stresses the importance of leadership, mindfulness, and compassion in addressing global challenges.
