Today’s guest is Robert Kopecky. You may remember Robert from Season 1, Epsidoe 123 when we talked about his 3 near-death experiences (or NDEs). Robert authored the book, How to Survive Life and Death: A Guide for Happiness in this World and Beyond, in 2014 and his latest book, How to Get to Heaven (Without Really Dying) is receiving massive praise. Robert continues to create art, designing animation for agencies, TV and internet; and writing spiritual essays and memoir for his blog, “Art, Faith, and the Koko Lion”.

Robert Kopecky is the author of the book "How to Survive Life (and Death): A Guide for Happiness in This World and Beyond,” in which he writes about his three Near Death Experiences (NDE), and more importantly, what they taught him about how to live. Robert is an Emmy nominated art director. He designed the credits for Showtime's Weeds, and directed art for the PBS children's show Word World. He contributes to Evolver.net, NewBuddhist.com, TheMindfulWord, and Gaia. You can find Robert on his blog Art, Faith, and the Koko Lions. Robert's newest book, "How to Get to Heaven (Without Really Dying): Wisdom from a Near Death Survivor" is available on Amazon. I first met Robert Kopecky online, when his tweet caught my eye. It was for a Gaia post entitled “Are Women (Spiritually) Superior To Men? A Call To Action!” Having just finished Robert Bly's male empowerment book "Iron John: A Book About Men," I had a hot flood of testosterone flowing through my veins and thus, more than a few reactions to Robert's post. I said so in my own response entitled "Are Women (Spiritually) Superior to Men? A dissenting view!" A friendship between us ensued resulting in several phone conversations, and then this interview on January 27, 2016. I'm really looking forward to continuing my friendship and conversation with Robert, either in New York City where he lives with his wife, or for sure in Orlando Florida this fall where we are both speakers at The Afterlife Conference.

Aired Wednesday, 17 February 2016, 2:00 PM ETToday’s Rising Star is Robert KopeckyWhen you nearly die three times, you learn a thing or two about how to live… An Emmy-nominated art director for television, Robert Kopecky never dreamed he’d end up writing a book about how to survive life and death. But what else could he do?About the Guest Robert KopeckyRobert Kopecky survived a traumatic childhood, traveled extensively as a young man. His journeys – from the remote South Pacific to the capitals of Europe to the deserts of Arizona and the canyons of New York City – were punctuated by three dramatic “Near Death Experiences.” Interspersed through a life of professional successes and personal setbacks, and his own “dark nights of the soul,” the three NDEs, and the subsequent need for answers, led him to years of study and meditation. Elements of Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism, Gnostic Christianity, physics, philosophy and more, have contributed to his unique transpersonal realizations about life and death. All of which inspired the calling to write his direct, humorous transformational prose, and to joyfully pass along all the lessons he’s learned – obviously the hard way. He has gathered them together in his book, How to Survive Life (and Death): A Guide for Happiness in This World and Beyond.Website: http://robertkopecky.blogspot.com

Today’s guest is Robert Kopecky. Born in 1956, and raised on the outskirts of San Diego, California, Robert survived a traumatic childhood, traveled extensively as a young man, and lived a variety of lives as a ski bum, a martial artist, a factory welder, a monumental sculpture fabricator, an underground cartoonist; and finally as an award-winning illustrator, art director, and animation designer.  His journeys – from the Mayan underground, to remote South Pacific islands, to the capitals of Europe, to the deserts of Arizona and the canyons of New York City – were punctuated by three dramatic, distinctly different "Near Death Experiences."  Eventually, the years of professional successes and personal setbacks delivered him to his own “dark night of the soul.” This led to more than ten years of study, meditation, and service – and the eventual transpersonal realization of what life (and death) can be – that inspired him to start joyfully passing along the lessons he’d learned in a very hard way.  Robert’s book, How to Survive Life and Death: A Guide for Happiness in this World and Beyond, is available on Amazon.com and bookstores everywhere. He continues his art, designing animation for agencies, TV and internet; and writing spiritual essays and memoir for his blog, “Art, Faith, and the Koko Lion”.

Life Changing Insigths with Dr. Alan Simberg with his guest Denny Chapin & Robert Kopecky Co-founder of TheraThink, AllTreatment, and explorer of ideas. Denny loves to interview mental health practitioners to better understand their problems and solutions, all with the goal of making the professional side of behavioral health a little easier, faster, and less expensive. Denny founded AllTreatment.com, a drug rehab center directory and substance abuse information resource, dedicated to educating and helping those struggling with chemical dependency nation-wide. Robert Kopecky, author of How to Survive Life (and Death) A Guide to Happiness in This World and Beyond, recently released by Conari Press/Weiser Books. I was told to contact you to schedule a show by Tony Gambone. The book is based on my three very compelling, and distinctively different Near Death Experiences, and what I learned about how to live from each of them. The emphasis is not on spectacular scenarios of the afterlife, but on the nature and meaning of each of the three experiences, and how those lessons apply to leading happy, fulfilling lives here and now. I'm not a "paranormal" kind of guy (an animation designer for kids' TV by trade), and my approach to these issues is quite mainstream. Radical Kindness, Radical Forgiveness, and Radical Surrender are my "Three Tips for Happiness." I talk about death (and life) with an unusually easy sense of humor, from the unique perspective of a multiple NDE survivor; as well as a bit about my career and spiritual path – and Love, fear, pain, reincarnation, grieving, "rebirth" and more.    

Today's special guest Robert Kopecky, author and Emmy nominated art director, will be here to talk about his three Near Death Experiences. He will tell us the meaning he derived from each experience, and how each applies to leading happy, fulfilling lives in the here and now. Robert will also share with us what he calls his "Three Tips for Happiness": Radical Kindness, Radical Forgiveness, and Radical Surrender. Robert is the author of the book, "How to Survive Life (and Death): A Guide for Happiness in This World and Beyond." This meaningful and unexpectedly fun "how-to" book is a curative, educational, and serious look at what to expect from death and how best to live in preparation for the inevitability of it. Be sure to save the date and tune in live! Calls are welcomed. To learn more about Robert Kopecky and his book, please visit http://www.RobertKopecky.blogspot.com
