We are excited to host Jules Evans on this episode of the Mangu.tv podcast series.
Jules Evans is a writer, researcher, and practical philosopher exploring the intersection of ancient wisdom and modern well-being. He is the author of Philosophy for Life and Other Dangerous Situations, which examines how ancient philosophy influences Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). A former research fellow at Queen Mary University of London, he has studied the history, philosophy, and psychology of well-being. His work has been featured in The Times, The Economist, and The Guardian. As director of the Challenging Psychedelic Experiences Project, he researches psychedelic integration and mental health, bridging philosophy with contemporary therapeutic practices.
Jules Evans reflects on his upbringing in London and his time at Eton College. He speaks about his teen years and early experiences with psychedelics, as well as struggles with his mental health during his time at Oxford University. He talks about a near-death ski accident, a mystical experience and the cathartic moment which led him to explore cognitive therapy and Stoicism as well as his interest in ecstatic experiences.
Giancarlo and Jules discuss personal transformation, ontological experiences, and somatic and talk therapy practices as means of integration. Jules speaks about concerns around the lack of public conservation, research and resources around the possibilities of harm from psychedelics and his NFP, aimed at supporting those experiencing issues. They speak about alternative living and the need for a system to manage ethics and misconduct in ceremonial, psychedelic and altered state spaces.
