CONSCIOUSNESS IN A NUTSHELL

There are 10 findings in Neuroscience that challenge the existing "just a chemical imbalance" idea about depression but please read the DISCLAIMER AT THE BOTTOM!!! In this video I go through all 10 findings, while at the same time putting forth a novel theory for the origin of depression that makes solid predictions, explains 'what' depression is, 'where' it comes from and even 'how' it comes about. Dedicated to my friend Emanuel Bisarello DISCLAIMER: I am not a Doctor. This is not a substitution for therapy. I wouldn't advise watching this video if you are currently depressed. If you are currently depressed, I would recommend seeking out professional help, because no one should have to go through this experience alone. The first link is a list of Crisis Support Hotlines. The second is a list of counseling services, some available online. 1. http://www.suicide.org/international-suicide-hotlines.html 2. https://thelifelinecanada.ca/pattern-interrupt/ecounselling/ Music: "Epic Cinematic" – FREE Creative Commons License Music by scottholmesmusic.com Book Website: www.consciousnessinanutshell.com

In this interview, author Jay Nelson breaks down an area of the brain called the Default Mode Network (DMN), relates them to Flow States, and even sheds light about how this area is responsible for so much of the mental suffering human beings endure. Aside from it being the most likely candidate for the ego we've ever seen, the DMN plays a critical role in our ability to stay present and grounded. You can check out the full podcast on https://www.youtube.com/c/natenighttalks, but in this short video we explain HOW the DMN was discovered and WHY it's proving to be such a monumental discovery.

What is consciousness?? And why is Creative Nonfiction the best vehicle for describing it? In this interview we discuss why it's, "NOT LIKE any other book on consciousness," and how authors Jay Nelson and Lindy Nelson figured out a way to condense many years of heady material into something that's actually fun to read. www.consciousnessinanutshell.com Catch the full interview on YouTube and iTunes Full Interview (YouTube): https://youtu.be/ipavnaWRRNQ Full Interview (iTunes): https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/nnt-ep-02-author-jay-nelson-consciousness-in-a/id1580919224?i=1000532457616 #consciousness #consciousnessinanutshell #natenighttalks #neuroscience #psychedelics #creativenonfiction #brainbook #brainhacks #flowstates #ascs

In this video I link Anxiety and Depression by talking about their shared underlying dysfunctional network and few other things they have in common. At the end of the video, I also share the most logical, effective, low-cost treatment plan out there which doesn't involve marinating your brain in a bunch of SSRIs or Benzodiazepines until the end of time.

If you are currently depressed, I would recommend seeking out professional help, because no one should have to go through this experience alone. The first link is a list of Crisis Support Hotlines.
