Phil is not only one of the most well-informed and experienced students of positive psychology I’ve had the privilege of meeting, but he is also a warm, charismatic, and deeply caring human being. Between his willingness to share his personal journey and growth, his thirst for knowledge about psychology, behavior, and wellness, and his genuine desire to see others succeed, talking with Phil gives you the feeling that you will never again have to face challenges alone. He can hand out quick tips that help turn your mindset around to salvage a difficult day, but he is also a terrific active listener with a knack for helping you get to the heart of what is really the matter. I consider Phil to be a tremendous gift in my life and in the veterinary field.
