The Outer Limits of Inner Truth proudly welcomes back our very first guest and dear friend, Dr. Jeffrey Gurian. Gurian discusses his latest book Three-year-old boy loses hands in an accident and grows up to be renowned spinal surgeon! Man born without arms and legs perseveres to become internationally known motivational speaker, husband and father of four children! True unbelievable stories of courage. Have you ever faced some obstacle you thought you couldn't overcome? Or spent time feeling sorry for yourself? If so, then this is the book for you! Facing Adversity-Stories of Courage and Inspiration is a collection of true stories, collected by best-selling author, Dr. Jeffrey L. Gurian, about people who have had to face unimaginable difficulties, and somehow found the strength to overcome them, leading happy, fruitful, and meaningful lives. Collected over a period of 20 years, the stories are accompanied by additional psychological and Spiritually based commentary from Dr. Gurian, a 20-year plus Board member of The Assoc. for Spirituality and Psychotherapy, and former Clinical Prof. in Oral Medicine and Oro-Facial Pain. He was inspired to write the book after facing and overcoming many of his own adversities, like conquering a severe stuttering problem that plagued him through his 20's and beyond, and surviving both a “widowmaker” heart attack and a hospitalization with Covid Double Pneumonia. During the time he was recovering from Covid, he wrote this inspirational book, essentially taking a negative and turning it into a positive, which is the essence of the book.

Fight The Fear: Overcoming Obstacles That Stand In Your Way with Jeffrey Gurian FEAR has tried to stop me from achieving my goals! How about YOU? Fear is a bully, and needs to be confronted. It will try and keep you from achieving your goals by telling you things that aren’t true, … basically that you’re not enough! Too often we believe that negative voice from our subconscious mind. The important thing to know is your subconscious mind does not know the difference between fact and fiction. It believes whatever you tell it! In Jeffrey’s new book you will learn: • How to release the thoughts that are holding you back. • How to deal with self-sabotage. • How to reprogram your mind to think positively. • How to use Spirituality to help you change your thinking and confront fear. • How to become the person you were meant to be. Dr. Gurian’s final thought on fighting fear is this brilliant statement taken from Marianne Williamson’s book “ A Return to Love.” BOOK LINK: ========================= About Dr. Jeffrey L.

The Outer Limits of Inner Truth presents the Psychological, Metaphysical, & Physical Benefits of Laughing Are you in need of a Few things are more beneficial to a person's overall well-being than laughter. In fact, the benefits of laughter extend to better mental health and is an indicator of better physical health as well. Laughter has been shown to both lower blood pressure and improves blood flow, both of which lead to better cardiovascular health and reduce your chances of suffering a heart attack or stroke. If two people are laughing together, they will feel more emotionally connected. This makes laughter a great tool if you are going on a date or trying to make friends with a coworker. The endorphins that laughter releases not only provide you with an energy boost, they also are a powerful way to reduce stress. Endorphins work to reduce stress by counteracting the output of the stress-causing hormone cortisol and providing you with a sense of euphoria. Featured Guests Include: 04:11 – Stephen T.
