The Infinite Ripple Effects of Transcendental Meditation on Ourselves & The World Around Us

Tony Nader, MD, PhD, is a medical doctor trained at Harvard University and Massachusetts Institute of Technology (PhD in neuroscience) and globally recognized expert in the science of consciousness and human development. He’s the successor to Maharishi Mahesh Yogi and the head of the Transcendental Meditation organizations globally. He was appointed assistant director of clinical research at MIT, and was a clinical research fellow at Massachusetts General Hospital, Harvard Medical School. Dr. Nader has discussed his expertise at academic institutions such as Harvard Business School on The Neuroscience of Transcendence, Stanford University, where he gave talks in a series entitled “Hacking Consciousness.” as well as the keynote speaker for a conference at the House of Commons, British Parliament where his unique expertise in the knowledge of East and West has also been recognized by the National Health Service.

In his recent book, One Unbounded Ocean of Consciousness (Penguin Random House, 2021), Dr. Nader comprehensively examines what scientists call the “hard” problem of What is consciousness? He unpacks this abstract question for both a general audience and experts in the field by investigating consciousness in terms of human physiology, quantum mechanics in physics, and the more ancient Vedic science. With his work, his podcast, Consciousness Is All There Is, his books, and discussions with a broad array of top leaders and thinkers in nearly every field, Dr. Nader is bringing the science of consciousness to new audiences and expanding the understanding of the relationship between mind and body, consciousness, and physiology, and the furthest reaches of human potential.
