Feel adrift? Get back on course! Nick Hall, Ph.D. is a medical scientist
and professional speaker, who for over 20 years has conducted
groundbreaking studies linking the mind and body. This research has been
published in over 150 periodicals and featured by the national and
international media, including CBS’ 60 Minutes, the BBC’s Nova series,
and the Emmy Award-winning program Healing and the Mind, aired by PBS.
He also has been the recipient of two prestigious Research Scientist
Development Awards, which the National Institutes of Health grants only
to the top scientists in the United States.
Nick is no stranger, as well, to the more pragmatic aspects of dealing
with change and with making difficult choices. After earning his way
through college wrestling alligators and milking rattlesnakes, he worked
as an intelligence-operative for the U.S. Government. He also led a
National Geographic-sponsored expedition to the West Indies, where he
studied mass-stranding behavior in whales. While working in the islands,
he endured the Marxist revolution in Grenada and the La Soufriere
volcano eruption in St. Vincent. His practical insights for coping with
change and adversity have been shaped over a span of nearly four
decades. For example, in 1968, he became the first person to complete
the grueling Baja 1,000 mile off-road race on a bicycle, while in 2006,
he completed WaterTribe’s Ultimate Florida Challenge in a sea-kayak.
This 1200 mile nautical race, which included a 40 mile portage, has been
described by The London Times as, “the most dangerous small boat race in
the world.”
Now based at his Saddlebrook Resort headquarters in Florida, Dr. Hall
presents highly successful workshops and motivational programs for some
of America’s leading corporations.
The South Hadley Public Library is located at 27 Bardwell Street; for
