What does it mean to be in the perfect place at the perfect time? And how do we square that with circumstances that challenge us, like illness, loneliness, or stress? In his honest and inspirational account, Jim Curtis takes us on a journey through history and heart to help us discern and decipher the cosmic signs that our lives really are “meant to be”—and that we have the ability to create the life we want. With insightful wit and compassionate questioning, Curtis challenges us to widen our perception and pay attention to our intuition around the synchronicities sent to show us that, even when life doesn’t feel perfect, we’re exactly where we need to be. Jim Curtis has had a prolific career in health publishing, serving as a key leader in the rapid growth of three leading national health sites, WebMD, EverydayHealth and Remedy Health Media. Named an “elite disruptor” by pm360, and the recipient of Pharma Voice’s Top 100 Most Inspirational in Health, Curtis revamped the standard at Remedy by telling emotionally charged stories infused with immersive multimedia content- inspiring people to live better – now, elevating Remedy to a “Crain’s Fastest Growing Company” in NYC. Jim is the author of the new book, The Stimulati Experience (Rodale), that curates transformational skills learned from 20 years of fighting a chronic health condition of his own while serving as a patient advocate. He is the creator of the documentary series, Elders, an active public speaker, board member and business coach to start-up entrepreneurs.
