info_outlineThis Podcast Was Produced In Support of Happiness!
Jeffrey Gurian is fascinated by people who don't let things get the best of them! A former Cosmetic Dentist and Clinical Professor at NYU, he's one of the few doctors with a long-standing career in comedy. He's a comedy writer, performer, director, author, producer, motivational speaker, and radio personality with 8 books under his belt.
The first book in what he refers to as the "The Happiness Series" was written during the Covid lockdown and is called "Healing Your Heart, By Changing Your Mind – A Spiritual and Humorous Approach To Achieving Happiness". The next one in the series is "Facing Adversity Stories Of Courage And Inspiration" and the third in the series is called "Fight The Fear-Overcoming Obstacles That Stand In Your Way".
Jeffrey knows courage. In 2021, he found himself at the height of the panemic in the hospital with Covid Double Pneumonia. Very luckily he recovered, but spent months home alone in NYC afraid to go outside. That's when he got the idea for the happiness books.
In a folder filled with articles and news clippings Jeffrey had kept over a period of 20 years, were a collection of true stories about very courageous people who managed to overcome unbelievable difficulties to lead happy, meaningful lives. Jeffrey decided during his own struggles during Covid lockdown, to write about those triumphs as a way to help restore hope and inspiration for everyone affected by what's happened over the last two years.
His book, "Fight The Fear -Overcoming Obstacles That Stand In Your Way”, is about learning to change your own negative thoughts that hold you back. You really can. Jeffrey tells the story of following his own principles, to cure himself of a severe stuttering problem, which plagued him through his 20's and beyond. He now works with stutterers all over the world to teach them how NOT to stutter.
"If you allow yourself to think differently you can achieve happiness. It's a way of processing information in a way you haven't done in the past."
Jeffrey has so many words on inspiration and so many great comedy stories too. He's worked with some of the worlds best comedians. He was a comedy writer for Joan Rivers, Rodney Dangerfield, lead writer for The Friars Club Roasts and many more. He also performs at Comedy Clubs in NYC.
Some great stories are shared in our fun podcast conversation. Enjoy.
