Francis is a born-and-raised New Yorker. He runs a part-time cash-pay, holistic-integrative private practice.

His goal is to help them find authentic meaning in their career, relationships, and life.

Pursue Freedom

After his formal medical training, Dr. Yoo chose to pursue his authentic life. He focused on integrating his medical training with Existential Philosophy and Eastern Perspectives. And he now uses that knowledge in his own personal development and with others.

The outer results are great, but it needs to be paired with this inner… journey. Don’t neglect this inner part of you. – Dr. Francis Yoo

More recently, he applied his skills and expertise to create a unique coaching program called Physician Search for Meaning.

How to Live Your Authentic Life

Francis provided us with a good example of how to find meaning during today’s conversation. He asked us to imagine preparing our own eulogy or obituary using two perspectives. First, write it based on your life as it is being lived today. Then how it might sound if you were living your authentic life, focused on what is truly important to you. 

He explains that by comparing the stories, you will gain insight into what is truly important and discover how to move closer to the idealized version of your life.

Summary

Francis finds his true meaning by practicing medicine part-time and coaching physicians to discover an authentic, fulfilled life. And he can help you to find your authentic life in his programs at www.drfrancisyoo.com.
