And it's been really miraculous to see him do that.
He took control of his diabetes, got his sugars under control, started training for marathons, lost a ton of weight.
and over the next several years had to undergo more heart procedures because he has very aggressive coronary artery disease, but he turned his life around and his life was difficult socially too.
And that was another aspect we talked about, the stress of being a producer at a major news network, the stress he had at home.
He has a child with autism and his own home life stressors sort of factoring into his health.
And yet, despite all this,
He is a real survivor to the point where he ended up having the word resilience tattooed on his arm.
He sent me a picture of that, which I just thought was so true.
So, so on point for him because he is the true definition of resilience that he's been hit over and over again.
with little mini traumatic events.
And yet he's really taken control of his ability to live his life and find happiness and success, despite the fact that he's had multiple, multiple stents, has high cholesterol and diabetes and a social situation that's very difficult.
For me as a cardiologist, I kind of, like I said, straddle these worlds of seeing patients, but also as a journalist learning about psychology through the psychologist that I interviewed who studied resilience.
And it was important for me to figure out really what is the first step.
And that's why in the second half of the book, when we lay out sort of the eight pieces, the eight tools that people can use, number one was acceptance.
That was very important for me to have the very first tool be this concept of acceptance.
That, again, in order for us to do any of the following things, whether that's get fit, be able to seek therapy to face our fears, find social connection, we first have to accept what's happened to us.
And that's a really hard thing to do in a lot of cases because we rail against what we thought our life was going to be.
How could this happen to me?
And so really that change in mindset of saying, I accept that this is
not what I wanted, but I'm going to make peace with it.
