Pure Unlimited Love – Science Meets Spirit with Stephen G. Post, PhD
Lori La Bey talks with Stephen G. Post, who was a guest with us back in 2022 when we did a program on deeply forgetful people. For those of you unfamiliar with Stephen, he is renowned around the world for his work on the effects of love, kindness, bioethics, and dementia. This is apparent from the foreword of his new book, which was written by His Holiness the Dalai Lama!
In his newest book, Pure Unlimited Love: Science and the Seven Paths to Inner Peace, Dr. Post invites readers to experience love not as sentiment, but as the very structure of consciousness—the pulse that connects all living beings. In this wide-ranging conversation, he reflects on what he calls the “One Mind,” shares stories from his life and research, and explores how living through love can transform not only individuals, but the world itself.
For more than four decades, Dr. Stephen G. Post has been exploring one of humanity’s oldest and most profound questions: what is love, really?
Dr Post is recognized as a pioneering medical researcher, philosopher, and is the founder of the Institute for Research on Unlimited Love, Dr. Post has bridged the worlds of science and spirituality, working with leading universities and faith traditions to uncover how compassion, kindness, and purpose shape our health and collective well-being.
Stephen G. Post is the Director, for Center for Medical Humanities, Compassionate Care & Bioethics at Stony Brook University, which is Ranked #7 in the 2025 Best Bioethics/Medical Ethics Master’s Degree Programs in the U.S. www.stonybrook.edu/bioethics
What people are saying about Stephen’s latest book, Pure Unlimited Love – Science and the Seven Paths to Inner Peace.
“What an engaging and inspiring read! Building on his earlier writing on the many forms that love can take, Dr. Post presents readers with seven pathways toward pure unlimited love. Each pathway is a mantra, one designed not only to help readers tap into this universal energy of love, but also to radiate this love outward toward others. In this exciting and creative book, Dr. Post skillfully weaves decades of research with dozens of personal stories, along with well-grounded, practical suggestions. A triumph!”
--Julie J. Exline, Ph. D., Research Director, Division of Perceptual Studies and Bonner-Lowry Chair of Psychiatry and Neuro-behavioral Sciences, University of Virginia
