During this show, we'll feature guest Dr. John Horton and learn about the different forms of stress that we experience and how we can deal with them so that our health doesn't suffer as a result. Guest Bio: Dr. John Horton is a graduate of Duke Medical School. An educator at heart, Dr. Horton specialized in teaching about the intrinsic balance necessary for human health. His new book, The Inner Game of Stress, co-authored with Tim Gallwey and Edward Hanzelick, emphasizes the inner wisdom system in each person that naturally guides a being towards equilibrium and stability. The inner wisdom system is not only medical in the traditional sense, it is holistic by definition. When it is engaged, Dr. Horton notes, one feels balance rather than thinks it. He is emphatic that constant stress does not need to accompany our achievements and that peace does not need to be absent of outside successes.00:15:00Brett BlumenthalnoJim Horton,Life Changes,Stress Management,Health,Inner Game of StressWhether life changes are positive or negative, they still have a direct impact on our health.
