Listen "Strengthening the Mind: Yoga-Based Resilience in the Age of Misinformation"
Episode Synopsis
A stronger mind is essential in a world overflowing with noise, distortion, and digital pressure. In this episode, Dr. Manfred Stapff sits down with Ishan Shivanand, founder of Yoga of Immortals, to explore how yoga-based resilience can help us think clearly, evaluate truth, and stay grounded. Ishan reflects on how life in a monastery and later as a mental health researcher shaped his understanding of truth and perception. He explains how yoga helps calm instinctive reactions, creating the space to question, reflect, and resist emotional manipulation. They draw clear parallels between Western science and Eastern philosophy, showing how both rely on critical thinking and honest observation. Ishan reveals the practices like non‑judgmental awareness strengthen clarity in an age of deepfakes, algorithm bias, and digital overwhelm. Listen to how science and yoga can strengthen your clarity, calm, and critical thinking. Tune in to the full episode of Strengthening the Mind: Yoga-Based Resilience in the Age of Misinformation.
