Hi, everybody. Welcome to our Firelight Chat today. Today we're having a conversation with one of my favorites.

We're talking about different aspects of my whole health plan. How we have to transition from what we often call our health care system,

but which has actually become a sickness care system to a actual whole health care system,

one in which we talk about what it means to be healthy and how we can actually create a healthier America.

It was a while ago when I just couldn't stop talking about his book into the magic shop,

but let me give you more specifics about his background so that you'll know who we're talking about today and why.

James Doty, MD, is a renowned neurosurgeon, neuroscientist, compassion researcher, entrepreneur, and philanthropist.

He is also the founder and director of the Center for Compassion and Altruism Research and Education at Stanford University,

of which his holiness, the Dalai Lama, is the founding benefactor.

He works with scientists from a number of disciplines examining the natural basis for compassion and altruism.

He is the New York Times bestselling author of Into the Magic Shop,

a neurosurgeons quest to discover the mysteries of the brain and the secrets of the heart.

And his upcoming book to be published in May of 2024 is called Mind Magic,

the neuroscience of manifestation and how it changes everything.
