He realized exceptional behavior is what we’re all capable of.

He has been named one of the Top 20 Spiritually Influential Living People on the Planet by the Watkins Review. His NY Times best seller, Love, Medicine and Miracles, revolutionized the way doctors and patients harnessed the power of the mind to heal.
