Rewiring the Mind: Daryll Scott on Unconscious Healing, NLP & Wild Intelligence
with Daryll Scott · 2 September 2026
In this thought-provoking episode, Dr Ash Kapoor welcomes Daryll Scott, an expert in unconscious change and NLP, to explore how we can move beyond cognitive reasoning to tap into our true "embodied intelligence".
Daryll explains that while we often overthink and rely on the "voice in our heads," our bodies are constantly providing signals and insights that we have been conditioned to ignore.
They discuss the "biography becomes biology" connection, where physiological decline and psychological imbalance often feed into the same cycle of inflammation.
The conversation dives deep into the history and "fall from grace" of Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), with Daryll sharing personal insights from his mentorship with co-creator John Grinder.
You will learn about the "three-legged stool" of the mind—a model that includes the often-ignored third leg of imagination, memory, and future expectations.
Daryll and Dr Ash also tackle the modern "AI time bomb," arguing that as technology takes over logical processing, humans must reclaim their creative "Wild Intelligence" to avoid redundancy and social unrest.
This video is an essential guide for anyone looking to de-clutter their mind, overcome phobias, and use their brain as nature intended.
