University professor, psychotherapist and recovering former nightclub owner Dr. Nicholas Kardaras presents a mind blowing, reality rocking, and life changing approach to Greek philosophy. Having once owned celebrity-studded NY nightclubs where he had mingled with the likes of JFK, Jr., Uma Thurman and Tom Cruise, Kardaras would emerge from that glamorous-yet-self-destructive world to discover the powerful and transformative teachings of his ancient ancestors. To his amazement, he learned that ancient Greek philosophy, contrary to popular misconceptions, was not a dry and academic pursuit, but a vibrant and holistic transformative practice. In How Plato and Pythagoras Can Save You're your Life, Dr. Kardaras breathes new life into those ancient teachings as he incorporates some of the most cutting edge advances in the fields of quantum mechanics and consciousness research to validate the insights and wisdom of the ancient Greek sages. As he guides readers through an array of contemplative practices designed to help them live a more meaningful life, Kardaras warns the reader to be prepared because they just might also "catch a glimpse of that trippy realm called Ultimate Reality".

How Plato and Pythagoras Can Save Your Life: The Ancient Greek Prescription for Health and Happiness

Dr. Nicholas Kardaras, Ph.D. is a Clinical Assistant Professor at Stony Brook University's Health Sciences Center, an Adjunct Professor at the Institute of Transpersonal Psychology, and the author of "How Plato and Pythagoras Can Save Your Life".

An Ivy League graduate and a former A.A.U. National Karate champion, Dr. Kardaras is a survivor of the uber-chic New York nightlife scene where he owned several of the hottest and hippest Manhattan clubs of the 8os and 90s.

Glamorous yet empty, the velvet-roped fast lane would almost kill him as he found himself comatose and on life-support after a near-fatal overdose. Upon emerging from his coma, he experienced a spiritual awakening and became determined to transform his life. While getting he clean and sober, he decided to go back to graduate school where he first earned a masters degree in social work and then a Ph.D. in psychology.

During this transformative journey, he would discover the power and transcendent beauty of the Greek metaphysical philosophy of Plato and Pythagoras and would develop a self-growth method based on this ancient wisdom. Today, Dr. Kardaras is a respected university professor and caring pschotherapist who lives a very different sort of life than he had as an addicted nightclub owner.

In addition to teaching at Stony Brook and maintaining a private practice, Dr. Kardaras is also a founding member of the Greek Transpersonal Association in Athens, Greece, is a clinical consultant for LICADD (Long Island Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence), and conducts lectures and workshops both nationally and internationally. Dr. Kardaras is also a regular contributor/blogger for Psychology Today.
