What if love isn’t just an emotion — but the deepest truth of reality itself?
In this episode of Being Human, I speak with Dr. Stephen G. Post — bioethicist, medical humanities professor, and founder of the Institute for Research on Pure Unlimited Love. Drawing on decades of work in medicine, neuroscience, spirituality, and ethics, Stephen explores love as a lived practice, not a vague ideal.
Stephen shares extraordinary stories from medicine, caregiving, near-death research, and neuroscience, including a striking insight: pure unlimited love may be the first thing we encounter when life ends. We explore why modern education and culture often strip meaning from life, how service transforms suffering, and what it means to live aligned with a deeper calling.
A profound conversation about love, purpose, and what truly matters.
We explore:
- Following your calling
- All are suffering
- Love tough vs the 'carefrontation'
- Addressing the Nature Deficit Disorder
- Pure unlimited love in the workplace
