Waking Up – The Spiritual Science
Steve Taylor PhD is the author of several best-selling books on psychology and spirituality and is a senior lecturer in psychology at Leeds Beckett University. In this episode, I discuss Steve’s work in the fields of psychology and spirituality and explore why spirituality is necessary for making sense of the world. Are we experiencing a global shift in consciousness?We discuss his two most recent books, Spiritual Science and The Leap. It’s a fascinating conversation that left me asking some deeper questions about my level of wakefulness and the journey I’m on. The conversation also challenges the ideals of the secular paradigm and the logic of science in which the world operates and how now we are indeed seeing a shift back towards spirituality. Enjoy!

By Leigh Martinuzzi
It was bought to my attention in an interview I did with Zach Schonbrun, author of The Performance Cortex, that habit and skill are two very different matters. Popularised by Malcolm Gladwell, the 10,000-hour rule suggests that by doing any activity repetitively one will master it.According to Andres Ericsson who has spent a lifetime studying the psychology behind expertise and human performance and the source of Gladwell’s research he states that the “10,000-hour rule” is actually not a rule at all.In this episode, I explore my understanding of habit and skill and what was really discovered by Andres Ericsson in regards to the 10,000-hour rule.
