Blog & Events

Stories are how we learn to face the dark. As a neurologist, I studied the brain’s response to fear and wonder; as a father, I discovered that both belong at the bedside.

This blog is where I share those lessons—reflections from a lifetime in medicine and storytelling, where the human mind remains the most mysterious landscape of all.

I’ll be sharing my stories across the U.S. and parts of Canada. Take a look at my Events calendar—I hope our paths cross along the way.
