Welcome to another episode of This is HCD. We welcome back Neil Theise, a guest we know and love to have on the show.

In this episode, Neil shares his personal journey of overcoming significant health challenges. He reflects on his recovery process, expressing gratitude for being pain-free and mobile again. The conversation explores the mind-body connection, the importance of light and windows in workplaces, and Neil's views on resilience and adaptation, drawing parallels between cellular processes and societal dynamics. He challenges the machine metaphor for the human body and discusses the interconnectedness of reality.

Neil also touches on themes of consciousness and mental health, sharing his experiences with resilience and depression, and how physical therapy and exercise played a role in his recovery. Additionally, he reflects on his father's experience during the Kindertransport and its influence on his understanding of resilience. Looking ahead, Neil plans to write books on consciousness, death, and lessons from the AIDS crisis.

As always, it has been our pleasure to have Neil join us and no doubt, we will hear from him again someday soon. Enjoy!
