Mark Bergel, Ph.D., is a gifted teacher and social scientist who is emerging as a leader of thought in the areas of health social change. Dr. Bergel developed his expertise through an intensive inquiry into diverse disciplines ranging from physics, biology, psychology, sociology, business, education, religion, philosophy, medicine and health. His studies have traced the trends and changes that mark a shift from a mechanistic to holistic view of health and the world. Although many great thinkers have traced this "paradigm shift" within a specific discipline, Bergel's work is unique in that he has synthesized this critical reflection across the disciplines, creating a clear connection and translation to living a meaningful life and "whole" life. His focus on health is a result of the understanding that it is with our health that this shift is most intimately felt. His message is well received and his humor and home-hitting style make him a favorite among audiences.
