Blog & Media Events

Stories are how we learn to face and name fears and emotions. 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 and podcast guesting 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.

A reflective look at what courage means in today’s world, and whether we are still teaching it to the next generation. Drawing from war memories, Yale traditions, and modern parenting culture, this blog challenges the idea that protecting children from discomfort always serves them well.
