Dr. Stephen Post - Pure Unlimited Love: Science and the Seven Paths to Inner Peace
Dr. Stephen G. Post has spent more than four decades asking one of the most unfashionable questions in modern science: what does love actually do to us? The answer, it turns out, is everything.
A professor, researcher, and bestselling author, Dr. Post is the Founding Director of the Center for Medical Humanities, Compassionate Care, and Bioethics at Stony Brook University School of Medicine, and the president of the Institute for Research on Pure Unlimited Love. His work sits at the remarkable intersection of neuroscience, spirituality, public health, and human flourishing — exploring how compassion, generosity, and connection shape not only our inner lives but our physical health, our organizations, and our communities.
His landmark book, Why Good Things Happen to Good People, translated into more than a dozen languages, brought together leading-edge science and perennial wisdom to make a case that most people feel intuitively but rarely see proven: that giving is good for the giver. His most recent work, Pure Unlimited Love: Science and the Seven Paths to Inner Peace, carries a foreword by His Holiness the Dalai Lama. Professors of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School have called his contributions to the science of altruism and generosity pioneering.
