Ego gets in the way of living our lives, often so effortlessly we barely even notice, until problems arise as they always do

The subject of ego is at the heart of Paul’s second Living 4D conversation with biohacker extraordinaire Ben Greenfield, as they wind their way through intuitive eating, lying, spiritual courage and their philosophies about free-range parenting

Check out Ben’s work and his podcasts at BenGreenfieldFitness.com and keep up with his updates about his upcoming book, Boundless. Ben is also the CEO and co-founder of Kion.

Please Note: There has been some confusion about the Michelson-Morley experiment as Paul discussed it in the companion episode to this one on Ben’s podcast. Paul would like to clarify that the experiment did not validate the aether and he did not intend for it to sound as though the experiment did so on Ben’s podcast.
