Dreams
Part dreamscape, part meditation, this essay explores the shadows that accompany age, the weight of memory, and the enduring human desire to find meaning, comfort, and redemption when life becomes more difficult to navigate.
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 podcast guesting and 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 with my movement: #ReadTogether.
I hope our paths cross along the way.
