Summary:
In this episode of Neurodivergent Spot, host Sam Marion talks with therapist, adventurer, and writer Lincoln Stoller about resilience, risk, and radical independence. Lincoln shares stories from his life as a mountaineer, plane crash survivor, scientist, and psychotherapist, weaving them into reflections on what it means to live with purpose and commitment. He challenges conventional approaches to therapy, emphasizing altered states, dreams, and emotional truth over purely intellectual reasoning. This conversation dives into survival, commitment, and the importance of pushing beyond the familiar in order to create meaning and light in the world.
Quotes:
“Survival is the first important thing. You don’t have to get to the top—you have to regroup and stay committed.”
“It’s the emotions that drive what your priorities are. If you don’t have the right problems, you won’t get to the important answers.”
“Everybody should be unsatisfied with what they’re given and consider their lives an obligation to move things forward.”
