Dr. Laura Gabayan’s courageous Palisades Fire survivor story and “Common Wisdom” insights featured on PBS’ The Whitney Reynolds Show.
During this interview, Dr. Laura Gabayan emphasizes, “The lessons learned from 60 wise adults who I interviewed for my study, The Wisdom Research Project, and “Common Wisdom” book helped me scientifically identify 8 wisdom skills. And ironically, the top wisdom skill of ‘Resilience’ helped me the most during the aftermath of this fire.”
As a survivor who escaped in a wheelchair, Dr. Gabayan explains with teary eyes to the Host Whitney Reynolds, “I lost my home. I lost my community. And ironically, when I thought about the 60 people who I interviewed for my study that is summarized in our “Common Wisdom” book, they had all gone through horrible life events – and they’ve overcome them. What I learned was that out of the 8 wisdom skills I identified, the first three: Resilience, Kindness and Positivity are needed to keep moving forward after a life changing obstacle.”
As background, Dr. Gabayan, explains, “I’m a Physician and a Researcher as well. And in 2013, I developed random symptoms. And that’s when I was questioning the medical establishment.” The doctors misdiagnosed Dr. Gabayan, and stuck to cookie cutter treatments. Searching for answers, Dr. Gabayan, created a wisdom study to identify what makes someone think outside the box when solving problems.
After interviewing the 60 wise adults, Dr. Gabayan defined wisdom as 8 elements, which are Resilience, Kindness, Positivity, Spirituality, Humility, Tolerance, Creativity, and Curiosity (in that order or importance). These life skills are rarely taught in school, and Dr. Gabayan summarizes them in “Common Wisdom” with real-life examples to help readers live a healthier and happier life.
When asked about surviving the fire, Dr. Gabayan added, “It will take time, it’s like mourning a loss, but I think writing our book to help others and the interviews are what really helped me.”
And then Host Whitney Reynolds praised Laura for her inner strength by emphasizing, “Well you are full of courage.”
