A New Way of Being
Why the World Isn’t What It Seems – Professor Donald Hoffman on Consciousness and Reality
30 May 2025
Don Hoffman is a cognitive scientist and author of The Case Against Reality. His central idea is bold: what we see isn’t reality — it’s a user interface. Evolution shaped us to survive, not to see the truth.If the world isn’t as it seems, what does that say about chasing status, possessions, or approval? What actually matters when what we perceive isn't what it appears to be?I offer a free 1:1 session so you can experience this work for yourself: https://calendly.com/simon-wgw/find-your-flow-intro-chatAnd my free online course on moving from burnout to flow is here: https://www.simonmundie.com/restore-balance-mini-courseMy other links:Book: https://www.simonmundie.com/bookYouTube: https://tinyurl.com/YouTubeSimonMundieWebsite: simonmundie.comSubstack Newsletter: https://simonmundie.substack.com/ Hosted on Acast.
