After 50 years of building hospitals worldwide and creating healthcare systems in Myanmar, Jeff presents a compelling vision: we've reached the end of the "first human evolution" (survival of the fittest) and must now consciously plan a "second human evolution" based on care for peace. Jeff's work spans from remote villages in Myanmar to hospitals across the globe, offering unique insights into what it truly means to care for peace and how this simple yet profound concept can unite people across all religions, cultures, and beliefs.
