Guest Bio:

David Youngren is a spiritual philosopher, author, and meditation teacher dedicated to helping people unlock mental wellbeing through timeless wisdom and new science. He has spoken to over a million people worldwide and is the author of Life Ascending: Unlocking Mental Wellbeing through Timeless Wisdom and New Science, which explores how ancient spiritual wisdom, neuroscience, and quantum physics intersect to free us from the mental patterns that keep us stuck.  David’s insights are deeply personal. Despite success—speaking on global platforms and leading large-scale initiatives—he found himself trapped in anxiety, resentment, and guilt. But during a moment of deep meditation, he had a profound experience that shattered his old perceptions of truth. It was no longer about beliefs or external validation—it was an awakening to an inner stillness, a presence beyond thought that redefined his understanding of freedom.  This transformation inspired him to establish Limitless Research International, exploring consciousness, spirituality, and human potential to inspire lasting change. He has also created meditation programs like The Amazing Life, produced films such as The Story and Africa, Sing Me Your Song, and authored several books.  David is also the founder of Juma’s World, a charity empowering orphaned children in Tanzania.
