How an open-minded view can improve your life
100% memory loss after encephalitis. Who are you when you don’t remember who you were?
This is the true story of Jur Deitmers, a then 21-year-old Harvard student, who completely lost his memory after a brain infection. After waking up from a coma, for instance, he does not remember who his parents are. His hard drive has been erased.

With our learned habits and beliefs, what can we learn from his open minded mind?
