The Truth About Dean Ornish: How to Go from the Fear of Dying to the Joy of Living

Many people believe they’d be happier if they could just have more of something – more money, more beauty, or more success. But according to Dr. Ornish, prominent doctor and author of The Spectrum, those kinds of thoughts usually make us more stressed and unhappy, to the point where even if we got the “more” we wanted, we wouldn’t be able to enjoy it.

Fortunately though, Dr. Ornish says stress isn’t something that happens to us; it’s how we react to what’s happening to us. And there are many ways to lengthen our “fuses” and find the love, connection, and community that studies show are key factors to good health and happiness. And in this audio, you’ll hear many of those ways.

According to Dr. Ornish, health isn’t something we gain; it’s something we already have until we disservice it. A few simple lifestyle choices can make a huge difference, like what we eat, how we respond to stress, how much exercise we get, and what kind of love is in our life.
