    I think Jesus Christ was the most influential person in history. Of course some people think he never really existed but everyone has an opinion.

    Who do you think made the most influence on you?

    Siddhartha Gautama

    Born 563 BCE in northern India (Nepal) Gautama renounced his nobility around the age of 30 to seek the answer to why we suffer and how to end it. Gautama obtained enlightenment, thus becoming the first Buddha ("Enlighted One" or "Awakened One"). Gautama professed the 4 Noble Truths, the Noble Eightfold Path, and the Middle Way.

    This all created the practice of Buddhism. Buddhism is not a religion, but perhaps the first psychologic study or psychoanalysis. As such, in the 20th and now 21st century, neuro-science and psychology studies are acknowledging Gautama's views on human brain function and thinking. We see medical science now advocating Mindfulness as a means to deal with stress, anxiety, hypertension, and other stress related medical issues.

    As asked "Who is the most influential person in history to you?" I would say Gautama has influenced me tremendously. His teachings have greatly impacted my life and helped me reclaim my life.
