What is TrueLife?
TrueLife is a long-form podcast about consciousness, psychedelics, neuroscience, artificial intelligence, language, technology, power, culture, philosophy, spirituality, trauma, addiction, human transformation, and the strange future of being human.
Hosted by George Monty, TrueLife brings scientists, artists, entrepreneurs, researchers, mystics, writers, clinicians, technologists, and cultural provocateurs into conversations about the questions underneath the headlines: What is consciousness? How do psychedelics change people? What happens when AI meets biology? How do language, media, technology, and power shape human behavior? What does transformation actually require?
Across hundreds of episodes, TrueLife explores psychedelics and psychedelic science, mental health and addiction, consciousness and altered states, artificial intelligence and human evolution, neuroscience, philosophy, mythology, spirituality, media, culture, systems of power, rites of passage, and experimental storytelling.
For seekers, rebels, researchers, creators, entrepreneurs, and anyone who suspects reality is stranger than advertised.
