He has established programs around the world, and hosted summits in longevity, and leadership. In his first psychology class he was given a rat in a cage! He taught it to press a bar for food, and to avoid shock. It was an “eye opener.” Is it possible to boil down human behavior to lessons taught to a rat? Through his own experience, he discovered that emotions play a large part, as people close to him experienced anxiety and depression. It revealed a willingness to be open to the lessons of experience instead of a fixed belief. it took him into the mind-body connection – how feelings create holding patterns. He then explored how breathing exercises and emotional expression are important in healing. His new book is “The 9 Pillars of Resilience: The Proven Path to Master Stress, Slow Aging & Increase Vitality.”
