25: Why Consciousness Exists Beyond the Brain - Mark Gober

What if everything you’ve been taught about reality—and even your own health—is upside down?

In this mind-bending conversation, Nirvani sits down with Mark Gober, Princeton graduate, Silicon Valley entrepreneur, and author of seven books in The Upside Down Book series. Known for his meticulous research and sharp dismantling of mainstream assumptions, Mark challenges our deepest beliefs about medicine, consciousness, and the very nature of existence.

You’ll walk away questioning everything you thought you knew: why the reductionist model of medicine fails to account for mind–body healing, how near-death and out-of-body experiences reveal a far stranger reality than biology textbooks admit, and why our obsession with “germs” misses the deeper cause of disease. Mark also breaks down the staggering evidence for consciousness beyond the brain, how your mindset might literally shape your body, and why intellectual humility—not blind trust—is the first step to health and freedom. If you’re ready to peel back the layers of cultural conditioning and rethink what it really means to be alive, this episode is your rabbit hole.
