Physician, author, and Founder of Blue Spirit Costa Rica and the Omega Institute in New York, Stephan Rechtschaffen is a serial entrepreneur with a passion for building successful and thriving businesses which have a positive impact in the world. He’s an anomaly; a visionary who has found multiple ways to integrate social good with financial viability. His reach goes beyond ventures, programs, and consulting, he strives to support individuals as well which he illustrates via the wisdom in his bestselling book. Time Shifting, offers a fresh perspective to help people find ease and reduce stress in a culture fixated on going faster.
