The Philosophy of Non-Duality in Healing the Mind and Body with Dr. Anoop Kumar

Today's special guest, Anoop Kumar, MD, encourages audiences to rethink the relationship between mind and body in a way that informs solutions to real-world challenges including healing diseases and upgrading the quality of our education. He communicates his vision through the lens of the Three Minds–a framework inspired by the philosophy of Advaita Vedanta. The application of this framework in healthcare is Health Revolution, a movement demonstrating that healing is possible when we see ourselves fully.

He has written books, written articles, given keynote talks, consulted with organizations, and collaborated with luminaries like Deepak Chopra.

Dr. Kumar has been exploring and experimenting with mind-body perspectives since he was a child. To quote Anoop, "As a child, I was surrounded by the teachings of Advaita Vedanta (the philosophy of non-duality). I began to see that life could be lived from two perspectives—as a character in a story, and as something beyond all stories. My journey and work has been to clarify and integrate these perspectives. Looking at the world anew can reveal unseen aspects of who we are. The result? We experience ourselves and our world more clearly, fully, and intimately."

Anoop Kumar, MD, MM is board certified in Emergency Medicine and holds a Master’s degree in Management with a focus in Health Leadership from McGill University. He practices in the Washington, DC metro area, where he also leads meditation gatherings for clinicians. He is the author of the book Michelangelo's Medicine: How Redefining the Human Body Will Transform Health and Healthcare. Anoop enjoys exploring and communicating about the intersection of self-awareness, science, and wellbeing. Visit him at anoopkumar.com and follow along @DrAnoopKuma
