What this episode covers

Marinus Koning is a retired brain surgeon who is now doing some amazing healing work with children in Ethiopia through the non-profit he founded called "Reach Another Foundation." In this episode of A Congruent Life, Marinus shares some fascinating stories, including: the impact that his mother's sacrifice for hungry children during World War II has had on the course of his life, the deeply learned lesson that "if it's not helping others, it's not worth doing," his unique reflections on authenticity that come from having a twin brother, how he was "accidentally" introduced to mysticism as a teen, his experience that the art of living is learning how to recognize and appreciate key moments, and what he learned from drawing blood from a dying man, Ubuntu, inking circles on newspaper, and Winnie the Pooh.
