Got Game?
Tuesday, October 7th, 2008- Learn the rules to the game of life
Expert explains how to ‘play’ and win
Athletes train their bodies using specific tools and skills to improve their game. Just as athletes train their bodies, we can also train ourselves to strengthen our knowledge and skill in how we ‘play the game of life.’ Like basketball players who are faced with multiple decision points – whether to pass the ball or shoot – we have points of view, thinking patterns, life experiences and lessons – tools and skills that we can use. It is the moment in time between our choices – that ‘gap’ – that makes all the difference in the world.
But whereas within a game rules prevail, in the game of life, there are no formal ‘rulebooks’ to follow. We have to create our own rules and make our own choices. Using sports as an analogy, tri-athlete, medical doctor, cancer survivor, and author of Conquering the Game of Life: A Guide to Competing and Winning, C.K. Hersh, utilizes a series of entertaining stories, exercises and questions, to show us how to get into the game and find happiness and enjoyment in our lives.
In an engaging and fascinating interview, Hersh, a marine and ironman competitor, will be able to shed light on:
- Recognizing and dealing with the four arenas of life
- Navigating the ‘gap’ and living the life of your dreams
- Handling multiple choice points
- Managing emotions in the heat of the game
- The rules of the game of the game of life
In the period 1997-2001, C.K. Hersh was diagnosed with cancer, lost his father unexpectedly then lost his mother to cancer two years later. These major life events sent him on a journey to discover tools and techniques necessary to manage the events in his life and how to interpret them.
Trained as a medical doctor, C.K. used his discoveries not only to improve his life but to improve his communication with his patients.
