“It is in giving that we receive.”

Dean Rudoy believes in storytelling as a bridge to understanding and connections, because it’s through our emotions that we truly grasp events and each other.
Dean’s life has taken numerous turns. In his own words:
After graduating college in 1971 from The Johns Hopkins University, I was off to Washington DC to stop the war, working with various peace groups and US Senators. I published two books — Violence: The Crisis of American Confidence (1971) and Armed and Alone: The American Security Dilemma (1972).
In New York City, following my training at the New York University-Bellevue Medical Center, I received my doctorate in clinical psychology from Fordham University in 1985. I then practiced, with a focus on children and adolescents. In 1989, I left the gruff embrace of Manhattan for the tender hold of the New Mexico desert to teach, practice, speak, and write.
All along the way, I have been devoted to causes: children, peace, social justice, human rights. I have been a consultant to national and international organizations, and have sat on various non-profit boards. I currently serve on the Board of Trustees of the Robert F. Kennedy Center for Justice and Human Rights.
Fifty years have passed since publishing my first book. I thought it was time for another. Emissaries: Stories and Reflections is a collection of sixty stories lived and lessons learned over all these years. It is “a quiet book for chaotic times”.
Join us on a walk through time and discover how the art of storytelling can illuminate your path and deepen your connections with those around you. Whether you’re seeking inspiration, reflection, or simply a moment of connection, Dean Rudoy’s insights will resonate long after the episode ends.
