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.

The Decline of the WestRandolph B Schiffer
Published on: 10/04/2026

A sharp and satirical reflection on cultural decline, this blog revisits Oswald Spengler’s warning about the erosion of Western values and questions what has been lost in modern society. Through humour, history, and social commentary, it explores whether courage, art, discipline, and depth are quietly being replaced by something far more shallow.
