. We are always busy Stress has become the number one health epidemic of the 21st century. We are exhausted. Our bodies secrete stress hormones that wreak havoc on our brain and mind. And when we don't take care of the basics, we're in trouble and doing things like driving, texting, and yelling at our kids to calm down. Sorry kids, I know I did (laughs) when we drank.

. Rest The most progressive companies in the world offer yoga classes, meditation rooms and beds because they know that free time is a time for creativity. Reflection within us gives us creativity and inspiration. There was "POD". “POD” is how to co-exist, co-exist, and how to thrive. After learning all this, I was surprised by the simplicity and beauty of that method. I was surprised by the kindness and generosity of nature towards us. I was surprised that I had forgotten the meaning of being a human being. indication of importance. I was collecting too much and competing too much.

And I am the one who made my life and that of my children deviate from the natural balance. Then I changed and adapted and it wasn't easy but I brought POD back into my life. That's when something magical happened while playing, I found a new passion. When I connected with people, I found new meaning to my life. As I relaxed, I found balance. Amazing things began to happen. Things I never thought I would have time or effort for. I started writing articles that people would read. I wrote a book about "POD" and adaptation and called it "The Dolphin Method." She read it right and didn't read my book, but she asked me why I used so much research and science in one book.

She see, its content confirmed common sense and she was worried that no one would read it, but the book became a book. Number one in sales, it was translated into several languages ​​and spread throughout the world. My mother did not realize that the man is in a stage of contradiction. We need science to confirm common sense, but we can get rid of this affliction. We can choose balance. In my office I prescribe medications, antidepressants, and blood tests, and now I prescribe each patient a daily dose of “POD.” I witness the power and effectiveness of play, others, and rest.

Given that recipe. This is your recipe. Give it to yourselves. Give it to your friends and neighbors. Restore balance in your life again. Bring play, connection and comfort back into your life. Give it to your students, your colleagues and, most importantly, your children. You see, humans are perfect tools for adaptation. We are human beings and we are meant to thrive. As human beings, each of us can have a wonderful life. Thank you. (applause)
