Brian-Luke-Seaward

Every once in a great while, perhaps in high school, more likely college, we encounter a teacher who inspires us, who gives us a new outlook on life, who in a short time, becomes our mentor, role model, and friend. Teachers like these “who touch our hearts and change so many lives,” are the unsung heroes of humanity. By all accounts, Brian Luke Seaward is one such teacher. He’s passionate, witty, humorous, and perhaps most of all, inspiring. He truly touches hearts, and most anyone will tell you, this is how he heals. Teaching is healing, and through his teachings, he offers a unique synthesis of insights blending the “ageless wisdom” of human spirituality with the topic of stress to reveal the unique alchemy of humanity and divinity, what we call the “human journey.”

Dr. Seaward has authored 16 books including the popular best sellers, Managing Stress, Stressed is Desserts Spelled Backward , and Quiet Mind, Fearless Heart. The acclaimed book, Stand Like Mountain , Flow Like Water: Reflections on Stress and Human Spirituality, (now released as a 10th anniversary edition) has been described as the sequel to M. Scott Peck’s, The Road Less Traveled.

His colleague and mentor Larry Dossey, M.D. says, “Dr. Seaward daringly goes beyond the usual approach to the subject (of stress) to speak of the soul and of human spirituality because he realizes that stress management and maximal health are impossible to attain unless the questions of life’s meaning are addressed.” Former Good Morning America host, Joan Lunden says, “Luke’s words have touched my life profoundly and helped me to find grace and dignity, the patience and compassion needed to navigate my ever-changing course. They have helped me understand that it is the way I choose to see the world that I will create the world I see.”
