Most of us are familiar with conventional medicine, which uses scientific research and data, and linear thinking to treat disorders and diseases. But this is not the only approach to medicine, health, and wellness, as Dr. Judyth Shamosh well knows. Science is more than hard facts. Take modern physics, for example. It is creative and reflective of everyday experiences, in the same vein as poetry. In fact, in Dr. Judyth Shamosh’s new book, The Physics, and Poetry of Eastern Medicine, there are many parallels between physics and poetry. But, it takes a different thought process to see them.

Dr. Judyth joins us today to explore a systems approach to medicine. Rather than relying solely on the knowledge and data associated with linear thinking, a systems-physician problem-solves by understanding the complex interrelationships of organ systems, as well as environmental influences.

In addition, the patient’s participation becomes integral to the healing process. With the prevalence of chronic illness in children and adults, a systems approach can be worth exploring.

Alan Day has had adventures that most of us only experience while watching Netflix. In his book, Cowboy Up, Alan shares what life was like for him and his two sisters growing up on the Lazy B, a 200,000-acre family cattle ranch in the arid Southwest.

In what he describes as a “hardscrabble childhood”, it was their upbringing that instilled a strong work ethic, values, and principles that would eventually lead each of them to their own extraordinary life path.

After graduating from college, Alan went on to successfully manage the Lazy B for 40 years. His sister, Ann Day, dedicated her life to public service in the state of Arizona, serving in the state legislature and local government. The eldest of the three siblings, Sandra Day O’Connor, was the first woman appointed to the United States Supreme Court. Sandra was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom and served on the court for 25 years.

Join us for this very special interview, as Alan recounts his writing of Cowboy Up. Filled with humor and deeply moving timeless truths, this book is one man’s story of ranching and the cowboy life lessons in persistence, innovation, common sense, trust, friendship, and experiences that cross all demographics, lifestyles, and decades of time.

Unfortunately, things have not changed that much for the deeply forgetful and their caregivers despite all the money invested in Alzheimer’s pharmacology, which has been slightly effective at best. At present, there is no medicine to slow down the underlying progression of Alzheimer’s and caregivers eventually ask whether the treatments are worthwhile.

In Stephen Post's new book, Dignity for Deeply Forgetful People, he takes up the theme of caregiver hope and where they can find it. The book then responds in a practical way to sixteen ethical issues that have been raised by thousands of caregivers, as well as the hot-button question of “PPAS.” Preemptive physician-assisted suicide for Alzheimer’s disease and the core elements of the “ethics of respectful care” that caregivers aspire to.

Throughout, Dignity for Forgetful People focuses on the extent to which we as caregivers can respect and abide by the previously or currently expressed preferences of a deeply forgetful person, especially with regard to clinical ethical choices.

To bring this journey to closure, Stephen responds somewhat pastorally to a question that has been asked of him many times: “Is Grandma still there?” In the final chapter, he builds on his own experience, as well as the many well-documented reports of “terminal lucidity” that can occur in the days just before someone dies with dementia. Recounting the loss of his own grandmother years ago with dementia he states, "I “felt” that she was still there underneath the communicative breakdowns when sporadically she expressed her whole self."

As the day-to-day effects of the pandemic ease, our children have been left with having to play catch up, learning the social tools and skills that parents of young children took for granted just 3 short years ago. To help them, parents need a new toolbox to foster their child’s emotional intelligence—an essential character trait for children to succeed in our fast-paced, social society.

Parenting takes serious patience and calm which can be hard to find today. A growing number of personal, health, and economic worries have caused a significant rise in anxiety levels. Where can parents find tools to meet today’s challenges? Child development experts, Rachael Katz and Helen Hadani, set out to address this in their new book, The Emotionally Intelligent Child.

Their innovative approach breaks the mold on parenting. Katz and Hadani share relevant research on social and emotional awareness to help parents understand how their child’s mind is developing. They also provide powerful tips on how to help children build emotional intelligence to navigate the conditions of our times.

Parents will learn to shift their thinking from the adult viewpoint to a child’s so they can discover how to scaffold and support their child’s social and emotional learning and ensure that their child learns prosocial behavior, impulse control, and perspective taking. This shift in viewpoint is a total game-changer and will help parents to gain more patience, respond less reactively, and cultivate joy together as a family.

At the age of 37, Gail Lynn’s dream of making a difference in the world was rudely shattered. The accumulated stress of two challenging relationships and three extremely competitive careers in the automotive, telecommunications, and film industries had decimated her physical, emotional, and psychological reserves, leaving her with a medical diagnosis of severe cardiovascular stress.

Determined to restore her health, Gail plunged into the world of energy medicine. When a series of whole-body light and sound treatments reversed her diagnosis, she set out to uncover both the ancient history and modern science behind light and sound as healing therapies.

After opening a light and sound healing center in Colorado in 2010, a series of extraordinary synchronicities guided her to combine light and sound technologies with sacred geometry and Tesla mathematics. The result was a revolutionary vibroacoustic, resonance healing chamber called the Harmonic Egg, which is advancing frequency healing to an unimagined level.

Part memoir, part illuminating treatise on why science is looking to the past for the future of medicine, Unlocking the Ancient Secrets to Healing chronicles the personal tribulations and professional discoveries behind the remarkable realization of Gail Lynn’s dream.

An award-winning scholar and teacher explores how Shakespeare’s greatest characters were built on a learned sense of empathy.

While discussing Shakespeare’s plays in her university classroom, Paula Marantz Cohen discovered that they unlocked a surprising sense of compassion in both herself and her students. In this short and illuminating book, she shows how Shakespeare’s genius lay in his ability to arouse empathy, even when his characters exist in alien contexts and behave in reprehensible ways.

In her new book, On Human Kindness, Paul Cohen takes her readers through a selection of Shakespeare’s most famous plays, including Hamlet, Othello, King Lear, and The Merchant of Venice, to demonstrate the ways in which Shakespeare thought deeply and clearly about how we treat “the other.” Cohen argues that only through close reading of Shakespeare can we fully appreciate his empathetic responses to race, class, gender, and age. Wise, eloquent, and thoughtful, this book is a forceful argument for literature’s power to champion what is best in us.

A breakthrough book that promises to shift our understanding of the mind-brain connection and reveal the mind's relationship with our bodies. Is the mind within the brain? Dr. Thomas Verny says this is a very limiting belief. Let's dive in!

In The Embodied Mind, internationally renowned psychiatrist Dr. Thomas R. Verny sets out to redefine our concept of the mind and consciousness. He brilliantly compiles new research that points to the mind’s ties to every part of the body.

The Embodied Mind collects disparate findings from many fields of science in order to illustrate the mounting evidence that somatic cells, not just neural cells, store memory, inform genetic coding, and adapt to environmental changes—all behaviors that contribute to the conscious mind. Cellular memory, Verny shows, is a very well-documented scientific fact that will expand the audience's understanding of memory as a whole!

The Embodied Mind shows how intelligence and consciousness—traits traditionally attributed to the brain alone—also permeate our entire being. Bodily cells and tissues use the same molecular mechanisms for memory as our brain, making our minds more fluid and adaptable than we could have ever imagined!

In this very deliberately crafted memoir, Dr. Bill Torbert goes directly into his teaching roots. Even as he speaks of his own experiences, he peppers in the issues of the day, and how society can indeed awaken to the deeper meaning of itself, one individual at a time. Within the pages of Numbskull in the Theatre of Inquiry: Transforming Self, Friends, Organizations, and Social Science the audience will find exactly that.

An anti-heroic work of monumental magnitude, Numbskull recounts Dr. Tobert’s dramatic early life in Europe and the US, He recounts for us how he gradually learned, from the experiences of his own leadership efforts, a theory of learning from experience. From his experiences, he also learned a theory of organizational transformation, culminating in ‘liberating disciplines’ that help others learn to transform from their own experiences.

Dr. Tolbert formulated a developmental theory of social science that culminates in the paradigm of Collaborative Developmental Action Inquiry (CDAI) that interweaves first-, second-, and third-person research and practice to offer more depth and perspective.
