I came across this heaven-sent book from a recent Popular Booksale in a clearance pile going for rm5 and it’s one of the best books I’ve ever read! It’s bursting with good questions directed at readers who yearn for a better quality of life, but are faced with countless obstacles.

And what are the chances you’re STILL suffering, and find yourself anxious about your health and your future?”

“There’s good news for you. There’s no health challenge you face that won’t get better when you ask and consider these 77 Questions for Skillful Living.”

The quality of our relationships today

How in tune we are with the rhythms of nature

How we maintain our connection to life before and after us

We need to understand that what troubles us physically are linked to our troubles that are hidden psychologically in our psyche, locked away deep inside us. To understand our health, we need to understand ourselves.

We have to go beyond pills-popping as solution to our ill health. But that’s the problem. How many doctors are willing or skillful in that area? Well, fortunately for us, this doctor is!

And many of our life problems that cause our health to go downhill can, and should be dealt with, by resolving our relationship issues:

It is always easier to blame external factors for our health problems, but in reality, it is our selves that we have to conquer!
