What is the art of love and how do we apply this to our lives?  Fortunately, I had the privilege of interviewing the brilliant Dr. Armin Zadeh about his book, The Forgotten Art of Love, where he shared his vast scope of knowledge and wisdom with me.  Both a scientist and a philosopher, Armin was a joy to interact regarding these ancient and timeless questions.  A beautiful man and a show filled with heart.

Armin  Zadeh, MD, PhD, MPH, is a professor at Johns Hopkins University. He has authored more than one hundred scientific articles and is an editor of scholarly books in medicine. He is a regular speaker at national and international scientific meetings and directs educational events around the world.

As a cardiologist and scientist, Dr. Zadeh experiences the relationship between the mind and the matter on a daily basis.  The loss of love can literally cause a broken heart — a form of severe heart disease. Love is the central force of life and its influence on human wellbeing and happiness is not adequately considered.

The art of medicine requires insights from various disciplines, including biology, psychology, physics, chemistry, and also philosophy. Drawing from his background and experience, Dr. Zadeh has used his skills in the analysis and synthesis of complex data to formulate new concepts and hypotheses on love and to develop a framework to understand—and master—love.

​Dr. Zadeh was born and educated in Düsseldorf, Germany, where he attended medical school. After initial postgraduate training in Germany and the United Kingdom, he came to the United States in 1995 to complete his education and training in medicine, public health, and research. He is married and lives with his family in the United States.
