| - Prior to that Don managed a number of large organizations, including Stanford’s Department of Medicine, San Mateo County’s Emergency Medical System, and ICAH, an internationally recognized organization that pioneered approaches to overcoming catastrophic life events. In the course of his career, Don has worked in some of most stressful places on the planet: including AIDS and cancer wards, in grief groups with parents who’ve lost children, at San Quentin prison with men serving life sentences, in Bosnian refugee camps during that genocidal war, and in highly stressful corporate settings. In a recent interview on National Public Radio Don said: “My work has taught me much about stress and the fear that underlies it. But more profoundly, it’s helped me document the power in ordinary people facing extraordinary difficulty to move from feeling overwhelmed by circumstances to a way of being that makes them larger than circumstances. That's what I write about, whether it's fiction, non-fiction or poetry, and it's the goal in my work with people.”
