OtherThe Institute continued to engage in research in collaboration with NYU (Dr. Sam Parnia MD) on Near Death Experience and Love; with Stony Brook University School of Medicine on the formation of compassion in medical students, and on the theme of giving and health/well-being with VP Matthew T Lee of Harvard University. Institute Research Consultant Tom Oord continued his world class writing and research on the theology/philosophy of love, and Jeff Levin continued his work on spirituality, love and energy healing as sequel to his new book Religion and Medicine (2020, Oxford University Press), with a Foreword by SGPost. SGPost completed a book on love and care for people with dementia (The Johns Hopkins University Press), Dr. Lee completed an edited book on human flourishing. An estimated 20 journal articles and book chapters were published, and more than 70 local and national presentations were delivered across the US. Numerous media broadcasts were completed, including with Ubiquity University and Buddha at the Gas Pump, as well as 40 more. Dr. Post published God and Love on Route 80, which presents core motivations behind the founding of the Institute for a wider public. The annual fundraising drive was successfully implemented with a growing number of donors. The Institute convened its annual board meeting in Cleveland On July 24, 2019, reviewing all relevant documents and activities in depth. One new member of the board of directors was elected.
