Dr. David Spiegel is a Stanford psychiatrist, and he is one of the most published and respected experts in the field of hypnotherapy.
He is the cofounder of the self-hypnosis app Reveri. Rory has been outspoken about his use of the Reveri app.
Dr. Spiegel has been on podcasts such as Huberman Lab, Tim Ferriss, and Rich Roll. So to add The Mental Golf Show to that list is an incredible honor.
