Spirituality and Healing
Listen via Real Audio
In recent shows, we have talked about how happiness, self-esteem and community support influence human health. So what's missing - God knows! Spirituality. How do peoples' religious beliefs influence their mental and physical health? And how can spirituality foster healing? Spirituality has seen a big "come-back" in America in recent years, and it might even find its place in medicine. We'll discuss the power of faith, prayer and meditation with Dr. Larry Dossey, a nationally known expert in the field of spirituality, and author of "Healing Words."

Family Reunions
Listen via Real Audio
Summer is traditionally the time for family reunions - visitors in Philadelphia's parks find hundreds of people gathered in different groups, distinguished by T-shirts and signs with their family name on it. We might wonder what good one day with distant relatives can do - what is the significance, do people really stay in touch, and feel that they are one big family? We'll find out why it is important to understand where we come from, and to see where our family is going.

Tuesdays with Morrie
Listen via Real Audio
When Mitch Albom graduated college, he was full of dreams, and confident that he would never become one of "them." "Them" were the people who chased money and fame, and lost track what was really important in life. Albom hugged his beloved professor Morrie Schwartz good-bye, and promised to be in touch. Years later, Albom saw a TV program about a fatally ill man, the man was Morrie Schwartz. Seeing his professor brought back memories of what he, Mitch, had once wanted to be. He had become the opposite - a man with an extremely tight schedule and few meaningful relationships. Albom decided to visit his old professor and to learn the lessons of life and death Morrie was able to share in the last weeks of his life. Dr. Gottlieb will interview Mitch Albom, author of "Tuesdays with Morrie'" in the first half hour, the rest of the show is open for discussion.
