50:38Now PlayingSteinberg is a sports psychiatrist and when his own health was threatened by cancer, he took both physical and spiritual routes to come to terms with his condition. Using the salamander’s extraordinary regenerative abilities as a kind of muse, Steinberg recounts how the diagnosis of metastatic prostate cancer when he was just thirty-five led him to new perspectives on time, sex, the evolution of the human body, and mind-over-matter rituals such as walking on hot coals.
