Eli Chiaviello represents Dr. Lester Sauvage, a world renowned heart surgeon and founder of the Hope Heart Institute who has written Open Your Heart to the Magic of Love: A Healer’s Testament to Health, Happiness and Compassion. During his long cardiovascular surgical career, Dr. Sauvage distinguished himself in ways rarely seen in medical professionals. He appealed to the most human aspects of healing—caring for the “whole person,” not just his patients’ symptoms. He valued and respected each individual’s spiritual needs and recognized the important role a “healthy soul” can play in healing the heart. Eli Chiaviello, co-editor of the book, will talk about this remarkable man and tell his own compelling story as well.

What do you do when you mess up the big sale, or get in a fight with your spouse or your boss? What would you do if  you lost your job to someone less skilled or knowledgeable? When things go wrong, do you sulk in a corner or come out stronger than ever, ready to take on new challenges? Why is it that given the same situation and circumstances one person will give up and quit and another will learn, grow and triumph? Do you deflate or bounce back?

Cindy Loughran, one of Boston’s “top ten coaches” will talk about the fear that seems so big that it keeps you from getting what you want in life. What if you could “down size it” or, in Cindy’s words “right size it” so that the fear is more manageable, less formidable?  If you could do that, what would it mean to you? Would you start your own business or do what it takes to move up the corporate ladder? Would you change jobs or even change careers? Would you dream bigger and take some risks to accomplish those dreams? How much freedom would that give you? Cindy Loughran is a woman who has “been there, done that” and she will share her priceless insights with us on this show.

We have all experienced fear. We know the smell of it and  the taste of it. We have felt it as a twinge in the pit of our stomach and as terror that paralyzes. We have ignored it, run from it, grappled with it, and jumped in feet first to deal with it. Some people seem to thrive on it for the thrill of accomplishment. Why? It’s in the answer to the question? “Why did you have to climb Mt. Everest?” and the answer “Because it was there.” Jamail Yogis studied fear —particularly his own fear —and wrote a book about it. It is a book everyone who is held back by fear should read and one we will talk about. You can look forward to an honest, real, in-depth look at a young man’s fear—on a surfboard, in relationships, in various challenges—and learn how to handle your own. Don’t miss this one. Jaimal had a sometimes wild ride and is here to tell us about it.

“Conflict is also a necessary part of life. Through conflict we find great catharsis. We have wonderful epiphanies through head butting and debates at work; we find new realities in our marriages through a clash of differences. But like many other indulgences in life, we are prone to over consume,” writes Nathan Snow in his book Break Your Addiction to Conflict. Snow will discuss how we can free ourselves from the tempting orbit of conflict and learn to quiet our mind. Acknowledging that some conflict is healthy and necessary for personal growth, he will discuss how to handle the “overload of conflict” that robs us of our serenity. He will also give us tools to help us overcome our addiction to conflict
