Lincoln Stoller is physicist, mountaineer, software engineer, hypnotherapist, psychotherapist, and author. In this wide-ranging and personal conversation Lincoln shares his lifelong pursuit of truth across disciplines while navigating institutional resistance, personal setbacks, and the messy realities of creativity and human psychology.Lincoln discusses submitting a physics paper that challenges quantum mechanics conventions and the ego-driven blowback it received. He argues that science often prioritizes institutional preservation, funding, and reputation over genuine inquiry. He contrasts practical, experimental physics with academic legacy-building (e.g., decades of fusion research with little progress) and emphasizes that creativity requires stubbornness, tolerance for failure, and resilience against "bad teachers" and closed-minded experts.**Chapters (with approximate timestamps less accurate than the youtube version due to truncation of silence here)**0:00 Introduction & Welcome0:43 Lincoln's Current Overwhelm: Physics Paper Rejection & Moral Obligation to Respond1:30 Who Is Lincoln Stoller?

I ended up looking outward... wanting to get answers and wanting to connect."- On creativity and institutions: "To be creative means there's a lot of monkeying around... you have to be okay with failing."- On science and ego: "You're not going to get a mathematical rebuttal... You're going to get an ego rebuttal."- On dreams: "Dreams... exist to disintegrate your world... They confront me with what I don't know."- On therapy vs. physics: "Psychotherapy is a welcome relief. You get to deal with other people's problems and you get to criticize and judge and get paid for it."- Final reflection: "We're all stupid... You really have to try to improve yourself... consider yourself as a garden that needs to be tended."The conversation flows into Lincoln’s marriages and recurring dream figures (parents and ex-wives), the value of dreamwork over psychedelics, alternative education models like Sudbury/Summerhill schools, the sociobiology of motherhood, hypnosis (suggestive vs. exploratory, and its broader cultural role), and practical parenting advice: give children more autonomy, real consequences, and community exposure rather than helicopter oversight.https://www.mindstrengthbalance.com is Lincoln's site where you can find his books (including free "Dreaming Yourself into Being" for blog subscribers), hypnotic audio, and brain training resources. The episode ends with a call for self-work, courage in therapy, and cultivating wisdom.https://www.facebook.com/lincolnstollerhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/lincolnstollerhttps://mindstrengthbalance.substack.com

I sit down with Lynda Leonce to explore the profound shift from chasing external success to cultivating true transformation through inner work.Lynda shares her personal awakening journey—how years of climbing the ladder of promotions, relationships, and milestones left her feeling unfulfilled, leading her to a powerful realization: lasting peace and authenticity can only be found by turning the focus inward. Together we discuss living from the “real self” rather than the mind-made identity, the importance of radical honesty, discerning genuine passion from fear or conditioning, and the transformative power of presence and intentional awareness.Key topics include overcoming societal programming, working with habits and patterns in the moment, speaking truth even when uncomfortable, and why consistency in shining the light within creates real change. Lynda also offers practical wisdom on how anyone can begin this journey and shares details about her 1-on-1 coaching, guided inner peace practices, and more.Whether you’re feeling stuck in the “eat, sleep, repeat” cycle or ready to live with greater alignment and joy, this conversation is a gentle yet powerful invitation to come home to yourself.Connect with Lynda Leonce at https://livefromyourtruth.com for 1-on-1 sessions, guided audios, group offerings, and daily insights.A beautiful reminder: transformation isn’t reserved for the few—it’s available to anyone willing to consistently turn inward.0:00 – Introduction & Welcome0:21 – Who Is Lynda Leonce?
