This week on Part 2, Dr. Alex Jadad and I continue the conversation where we left off. We discuss his life work and movement to re-imagine the definition of health not just the absence of disease, but being inclusive of our entire wellbeing, such as love, happiness, and no suffering. If you missed Part 1, I suggest you listen to that episode (Ep015) first and then come back to this week’s episode.br /

br /

Dr. Alex Jadad, is living his life as a love story. He is also daring us to imagine a world in which everyone could enjoy a life full of love, healthy and happy, until the last breath, as part of a thriving planet. As soon as we meet Alex, we will recognize the curious inner child, the teacher, the learner, the physician and the healer who live in him, urging us to think of ways to make it happen, while marvelling at the wonderful mysteries of life.br /

br /

With Alex, we will learn about possibilities to re-design our lives as love stories, and to bring love to our families, to our workplaces and to our communities, so that we can discover, recover and uncover our capacity to love ourselves and the world, no matter what happens.br /

br /

He will ask us very deep and unusual questions about who we are, questions that will help us to embrace the liberating power of love.br /

br /

Come along. There is no reason to worry. After all, nobody else will ever be able to hear us.br /
