Then, for most of us, there’s a major medical flurry of… Continue reading John

People in the Happier Place…And the Rest of Us (My Crash Course on Death)

I have the belief that when we “die,” we experience a rapid burst of unimaginable joyful, infinite expansion. Free of all the lenses of our physical identities, the limited perspective we can grasp with our physical bodies, it must be like an explosion of the senses—-but in an ultimately peaceful way.

Ask Your Doctor for This

Once upon a time, I was hospitalized for surgery on a broken wrist. In the last few months, I’ve had a colonoscopy and a mammogram.

Your Head and Your Heart

I’m preparing a little talk at my local library for “Health Week,” an event targeted for baby boomers. My topic, “Five Simple Things You Can Do to Protect Your Heart and Brain,” seems pretty straightforward. But I’m guessing people’s receptivity to my thoughts will depend on their agenda–conscious or not. What would yours be? Would… Continue reading Your Head and Your Heart

New Video: Brilliant Doctor
