47: David Richman - Cycle Of Lives

A Resilience Project

Having been on a personal journey of transformation my guest David Richman, author of Cycle of Lives, has a natural curiosity for life and humanity.

In writing his book, David had the privilege of capturing the insights and experiences of 15 individuals, all sharing their personal story related to cancer. In doing so, David has created a 360-degree lens for understanding more about the emotional needs associated with these types of illnesses. With a wide range of experiences, types of cancer, levels of severity and a range of emotional responses, these stories offer a roadmap on how to willingly create space for and be a support to others. What might surprise you, is that it isn’t really a book about cancer. You could replace the diagnosis of cancer with any number of adversities and challenges experienced by humans and the formula will work.

It is inevitable that we will each have an opportunity to create change, overcome adversity and discover more about ourselves in the process. In this episode we unpack what inspired David to write this most recent book and what he learned about himself as he travelled over 5000 miles on his bicycle to meet with each person. Sharing his resiliency practice and the discoveries he has realized on this journey, this conversation with David reminds us of the generosity, resilience and kindness of humanity.
