According to today’s Get Yourself Optimized guest, “You're coming back to work on something which you didn't get right before.” I hope you’re ready for some deep esoteric wisdom that is universally applicable. Rabbi Chaim is an incredibly accomplished author and educator dedicated to studying and teaching the Jewish faith, and he’s here to celebrate the show’s 400th episode with his wisdom and teachings.

Rabbi Miller is a graduate of Haberdashers' Aske's School in London and Leeds University's Medical Science program. He began full-time Torah study at 21, delving into his Jewish heritage. Rabbi Miller published the popular, Kol Menachem Chumash, Gutnick Edition, which simplified over 1,000 intricate discourses of the late Lubavitcher Rebbe into layman's terms.

Rabbi Miller's recent achievements include the groundbreaking biography, Turning Judaism Outward, which details the life of the Lubavitcher Rebbe. He also set a new benchmark for translating Chasidic philosophy in his multivolume work, Practical Tanya.

We discuss some incredibly thought-provoking topics, and I'm confident this episode will provide great value for anyone who desires to learn about the Jewish faith or improve their spiritual life. So be sure to check out my podcast and listen to the latest episode with Rabbi Chaim Miller!

Today's guest, Dr. Eben Alexander, is here to tell you that near-death experience is not merely the stuff of sci-fi movies: it's real! In November 2008, Dr. Eben lapsed into a coma after suffering from a disease so lethal that only 1 in 10,000,000 survive. After the week-long coma, he experienced a transcendental near-death experience that completely transformed his worldview. 

In this episode, Dr. Eben shares the "life review" he experienced as a result. He explains it as a personal revelation — a God's-eye point of view that helped him understand that we're truly “all in this together.” We also discuss how it's possible to recover memories of our past lives through modalities like binaural sounds and hypnotic regression. If you're intrigued by how we can access our primordial mind to recover memories to help us deeply define our souls’ roles in our life journey, this riveting episode will help. Tune in!
