""Fed on the dry husks of facts, the human heart has a hidden want which science cannot supply"".

- Sir William Osler M.D.

The Good-Hearted Physician describes the foundations and clinical applications of an ""education of the heart"" that balances our wisdom and compassion with the genius of our medical science. This noetic medical education offers a very practical path to rediscovering the perennial wisdom of healers across traditions and time. This timeless perennial healing wisdom has profound relevance for our times and can enliven ourselves and our work, providing an antidote to the rising pandemic of burnout among modern healers. The path of the Good-Hearted Physician transcends the technology of any particular healing tradition and all healers will experience this noetic education as having immediate significance for their calling.

Volume One of ""The Good-Hearted Physician"" includes ia comprehensive and very practical discussions on:

The characteristics of an ""education of the heart"" and the education of a ""good-hearted healer."" Integral Theory as a framework for understanding how we can understand and create synergy between the wisdom of our heart and the genius of our intellect. The developmental journey of the good-hearted healer, as represented by the story of Chiron, the Greek mythological ""wounded healer."" Exploring the ""lexicon"" of healing as a doorway to understanding and manifesting the deeper meaning of our work as healers.

The ""Four Immeasurable"" attributes of a ""good-hearted"" healer.
