In 2022, Dr. Bennett was acknowledged with the "Lifetime Achievement Award" from the National Wellness Institute and, internationally, with the "Positive Leadership Award" from the Positive Leadership Institute. Dr. Bennett has authored/co-authored seven books, including "Raw Coping Power," "Heart-Centered Leadership," and "Your Best Self at Work.”

His article, "Become A Connoisseur of Time," can be found in the March/April issue of Spirituality+Health here.

“We have to recognize that this unfettered, gluttonous approach to time has gotten so out-of-hand that it’s moved us away from those precious moments of contemplation. The distinction between time and what’s happening—I only make that distinction to point people back to the preciousness of this life.”

In this episode, Dr. Bennett and Rabbi Rami talk about addiction, contemplation, and not taking life for granted.
