As a podcaster, I love connecting with like-minded hosts such as Benoit Kim, given our shared interests in mental health, mindfulness / mediation, the cultural implications of the Asian-American “model minority” myth, and much more. My wife Shelly Sood and I appeared on his show - Discover More - in early 2023, shortly after the devastating loss of her father / my father-in-law. We found great comfort in this far-ranging discussion, touching on the following topics:
How Albert Einstein’s perspective that "everything is energy" can used to complement surgery, medication, talk therapy, and other traditional healthcare modalities to ensure optimal patient outcomes What we can learn from Alcoholics Anonymous or those trust fall exercises at corporate retreats about the power of surrender and turning over to a higher power How breathwork modalities such as
can help quiet the default mode network, maximize our health and productivity in business, and achieve what psychologist Abraham Maslow called self-transcendence The correlation (or lack thereof) between the prestige of someone’s alma mater and their contributions to society The positive impact of building an impenetrable “bubble” of personal space to tap into one’s intuition and connect with their higher self How the collectivist mindset of the South Asian diaspora can contribute to the propagation of unhealthy templates throughout the generations The incredible power of affirmations and the spoken word, which has been shown to change the shape of water molecules How someone's environment - i.e., their relationships, their surroundings, - can play a pivotal role a patient’s recovery – almost as much as medication and surgery
