About Johnny Cavazos Johnny Cavazos is a practicing emergency room physician with over thirty years of experience. As he likes to say in his books. Experience matters. Johnny actually started working in emergency rooms as a senior in high school at the age of seventeen. The ER is an amalgam of fascinating experiences that run the gamut of life. These experiences provided a background fertile for growth and understanding that transcended the normal daily routine case load in the ER. Because of a series of untoward stumbles and failures, Johnny landed in a world of stress, anxiety and frustration. This lead him to a "decade of discovery". A ten year journey of spiritual discovery, enlightenment, and clarity. The result? Four books. The Authentic Self Series. As he was working through these trials and troubles, he began studying the bible and at the exact same time was introduced to the phenomenon of NDEs. Near death experiences. That lead to a 10 year focus on bible study, the Christian faith and the science and spiritual insight provided by NDEs. You can visit Johnny's website at bravethewave.org. You can download a free PDF file titled "The Top Head to Toe Symptoms That Make Your Doctor Nervous". Thirty years of experience brings some valuable nuggets that can be useful. WHY I WRITE When it comes to writing, I had no desire to be a writer. There came a point in all this studying and journaling when I came to the conclusion, "If I don't write all these ideas and experiences down, my head is going to explode." Not only that, my family and friends were sick of hearing me talk about all these ideas and spiritual experiences. It became a "can't not" decision. That idea is in my second book on passion and purpose. When it is something that you "can't not" do, pay attention. Honestly most of the writing is the response to a series of questions. Many, many questions. As I say in my books, "I would venture to say that I am not the smartest guy in the room at a cocktail party, but I bet I'm one of the most curious." Some of the most compelling questions have to do with passion, power, purpose and pain. The big Ps. I discuss passion, purpose and power in my second book and pain in my third. My first book, "Brave The Wave", focuses on the "Authentic Self" and how we can move closer to the idea or the blueprint that God had in mind when he created us. True authenticity. Not the "best version" or a "better version of our self" because those bring something into the equation that tends to take us in the wrong direction. Our own personal opinion or the opinion of others. I believe the "Authentic Self" is an ideal. It is objective. It is who God has in mind. Some people will say, "that's easy. God wants us to be like Jesus. That's it." That is a great starting point and there is no question that there is no downside to emulating Jesus. But we are endowed with talents, experiences, passions and gifts that are distinct and unique. Unique to us as individuals. Engaging all of these while striving to grow in our relationship to Jesus is the key to reaching our "Authentic Self". The self we were created to be. Along the way, we are going to have trials, troubles, obstacles and waves. Hence, "Brave The Wave".
