Early life

Warren is from Toronto, Ontario, Canada. He studied literature at McGill University in Montreal, where he suffered a traumatic injury after falling 30 feet out of a tree, breaking his neck. He claimed that this event spurred his interest in consciousness as it changed his experience of the world and worsened his ADHD. [3] [4]

He went on to work as a producer at the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation's (CBC Radio) current-affairs radio show, The Current, [5]

He wrote The Head Trip: Adventures on the Wheel of Consciousness [6] and co-authored Meditation for Fidgety Skeptics. [7]

He collaborated with Calm (company) to create a beginner-friendly meditation series (How to Meditate) and daily meditation sessions (The Daily Trip). [8]

He is married to Canadian journalist Sarah Barmak. [9]
