Interview with Michael Hall PhD, by Trey Carland

In this interview, Michael describes his spiritual path of Zen Buddhism and subsequent awakening experience(s) that led to an end to identification with the sense of a separate self (aka ego). He talks about how this shift influenced the way he interacted with clients as a clinical psychologist. We also discussed the scientific evidence that dispels the idea of free will, and what the implications are of that discovery. Michael's book, Awake and Alive: Being What You Already Are, is available in hardcopy and Kindle. He is currently hosting regular online meditation group meetings through his Facebook page.
