Vincent DoddVincent Dodd was born and raised in the swamps and marsh lands of southeast Louisiana and now resides in Austin, Texas. After Vincent graduated from Louisiana Tech University's Nursing School in 1985, he entered what he likes to call his "nursing resdency," by working for three years in the emergency department in Charity Hospital in downtown New Orleans. During those years he worked closely with LSU and Tulane residents and highly experienced nurses that all taught each other every chance they had.He knew at an early age that he had a service driven heart and a need to help and educate. He spent nineteen of his twenty-one-years in teaching hospital emergency departments and two of those years in intensive care. Vincent then left nursing and entered a twelve-year career in law enforcement to answer his lifelong curiosity of law enforcement and to study the field from the inside out from a solution-based angle. After over thirty-three-years of hands-on assistance to people in some level of personal crisis on an individual basis, he now feels driven to contribute on a larger scale through his writing and public speaking. His desire to always seek the origin of an issue and not to just place a surface bandage on the issue has helped him study the many causes to personal and social issues from a human behavior standpoint.Vincent has witnessed that many of our problems are related to the changes in social structure and personal views that has caused us to believe we no longer need each other, leading to a false sense of total independence from others. He has a driving passion to reverse our increasingly fragmented society, which leads fragments individuals, which then leads to our escalating numbers of depression, anxiety, addictions, suicide attempts, and suicides. Vincent Dodd is the author of Suffer Less in Life & Work, Suffer Less in Death, and is the Founder of The Yandle, John D., Sheehan, and Daigle Foundation, also known as The Human Bonding Foundation.
