Bernie Siegel is an American writer and retired pediatric surgeon, who writes on the relationship between the patient and the healing process. He is known for his best-selling book Love, Medicine and Miracles.

I had to divide this podcast into two parts because we talked over the phone for 90 minutes. This part, Bernie talks about his belief in past lives, good parenting the importance of doing things to help one lose track of time – to reduce stress. For Bernie, it was painting. The picture I put up on this part was the portrait Bernie painted of himself, showing how he was holding in a lot of pain.

I thank you for being patient with the sound. Doing a podcast over the phone can be challenging. I did my best to work on the sound so you could hear the wisdom, insight and humor of Dr. Bernie Siegel.
