Paul Chek has always been a seeker of knowledge and comprehensive understanding, constantly asking the question 'what caused that?'. This led him to a life of learning, first as an auto mechanic, then in the 82nd airborne division, then progressively exploring exercise science, holistic health, and spirituality. Paul is a licensed holistic health practitioner and founder of the Chek Institute, which offers fitness and healthcare professionals a uniquely integrated and holistic approach to health, fitness and well-being. We talk with Paul about the purpose of pain and suffering, the relationship between spirit and soul, and the uncommon occurrence of truly original thinking.
