A Fine Time for Healing

Today's special guest Clément Decrop is a Belgian-born inventor and author with a fascinating journey. Moving to the U.S. at the age of six, Clément's work has taken him around the world, culminating in his insightful book "The Idea Space: The Science of Awakening Your Non-Self." His book explores the concept of 'Idea Space,' providing a novel approach to understanding consciousness.The Idea Space aims to make consciousness as real as gravity by establishing a scientific framework for the mind to give meaning to experiences that were once ineffable. The goal is to make you realize, as Confucius said, "Everyone lives two lives. The second starts when you realize you only live one." Clément led wellness events for thousands of participants across 40+ countries on the topics of mindfulness, sleep, exercise, and nutrition. With over 130 patents submitted across various technologies, spearheading $10B+ business deals with a remarkable 60% win rate (saved the Department of Defense $100 million through automation), and being a valedictorian at Penn State, Clément's expertise is multifaceted.

When we think of bullies, most of us think of aggressive kids or teens who terrorize individuals they perceive as weaker. Yet, bullying isn't relegated just to the schoolyard. On the contrary, adult bullies exist everywhere and run rampant in many families, workplaces, neighborhoods, political arenas, and organizations of all types and sizes. And in a media landscape where conflict, chaos, and fear reign supreme, we witness celebrities, politicians, and other public figures exhibiting some of the most egregious behavior. In Our New World of Adult Bullies: How to Spot Them, How to Stop Them, today's special guest Bill Eddy — therapist, lawyer, mediator, and personality expert — reveals how adult bullies have infiltrated every aspect of our society and explains why we so often allow them to operate unchallenged. Whether they are feeding our primitive fears, manipulating our empathetic emotions, or intimidating us with their unrestrained personalities, adult bullies are highly effective at dominating others in nearly every arena of our lives. Offering invaluable insight into the behavior of adult bullies, their supporters, and our impulses, Our New World of Adult Bullies is an essential guide for those seeking to decrease bullying behavior and gain allies in their professional and personal lives. Bill Eddy is the Chief Innovation Officer of the High Conflict Institute based in San Diego, California. He trains lawyers, judges, mediators, and therapists throughout the United States and a dozen other countries in managing high-conflict family, workplace, and legal disputes. He is the author of over 20 books and manuals and has a popular blog on PsychologyToday.com.

A passionate advocate for neurodiverse students, particularly those with autistic spectrum perception and communication challenges, today's special guest, Jes Kerzen, found that wherever she worked, these were the children who so often appeared in her life and enriched it greatly. An encounter with one small boy, however, set her on a journey of discovery that would completely change her life's trajectory. Jes is the author of the poignantly compelling spiritual memoir, A Mind Beyond Words, which is about the strong and unusual bond forged between schoolteacher Jes and a six-year-old autistic boy, Asher, whose arrival in her class changed the trajectories of both their lives. Their journey together, sometimes tragic, sometimes joyful, spans 25 years and leads them into an exploration of psychic and supernatural abilities. From this child and his classmates, Jes learned that there were ways of communicating and perceiving she had never dreamed of. She has consequently spent many years researching telepathy, remote viewing and other psychic abilities, along with the spiritual insights they can sometimes lead to. Jes Kerzen, holds a postgraduate B Phil degree and has worked in a huge variety of roles in many educational settings, from specialist speech and language teacher to head of English, from running an alternative education hub of home educated children in a mediaeval abbey undercroft to working with a farmer and a life sized model calf, delivering workshops on social and emotional skills in rural primary schools in the west of England. Now retired and living in a 350 year old cottage in Somerset, England, Jes devotes much of her time to working with Asher, that very special former pupil, continuing to learn from him and writing about their work together.
