Rewiring Our Stress Response With Don Joseph Goewey

In this episode we speak with Don Joseph Goewey about rewiring our brain to cope better with stress. Don is the Executive Director of the nonprofit Center for Spiritual Exchange, the official archive for all the works of Anthony De Mello and the author of the Amazon bestseller, The End of Stress/Four Steps to Rewire Your Brain. Don spent six years directing a think tank aimed at integrating breakthroughs in neuroscience and psychology. From this work, he innovated a model for changing brain structure to extinguish stress reactions and amplify the higher brain function that enables a human being to flourish. The success of the model in helping people end stress in high pressure workplaces like Cisco Systems and Wells Fargo has been unprecedented. Previously, Don directed a human performance firm that consulted with Fortune 100 companies to alleviate employee stress and elevate people’s experience of work and life. He has also managed the department of psychiatry at Stanford University Medical School, and headed an institute that pioneered a psycho-spiritual approach to overcoming catastrophic life events and which in 2005 was awarded the Excellence in Medicine metal by the American Medical Association.
