Acupuncture and East Asian medicine was not developed in a laboratory. It does not advance through double-blind controlled studies, nor does it respond well to petri dish experimentation. Our medicine did not come from the statistical regression of randomized cohorts, but from the observation and treatment of individuals in their particular environment. It grows out of an embodied sense of underst... more

  • Manipulative

    I started listening to an interview and was surprised by the initial monologue (seemed unrelated). But I kept going, when the interview started something felt off as if the interviewer was being manipulative and insincere. I kept listening for another 20 minutes and it felt like he was being condescending. Non of it was overt so I went to look at his website and sure enough- I saw NLP training.

    It felt icky listening to him conduct an interview.

    The topic however, was interesting.

  • A very valuable resource

    Michael is a very good facilitator - I really appreciate his honesty and integrity in revealing his own difficulties which i resonate with.Many great guests- lots to learn- the 10 - 15 minutes of advertisements and monologue at the start and during every episode is a little too much.
