Three times in my life, I became very ill with health issues but when I turned to Western medicine, it only made me sicker. So I took matters into my own hands, sought new answers and found them. So I want to share them with you. "21st Century Handbook: A Guide to Creating Health, Happiness and Peace in a Stressful, Modern-Day World" shares insights and tools, rooted in ancient wisdom and leading-edge science to cultivate more health, wealth & happiness.

Each icon on the book cover represents a chapter in the book. Ten chapters of what I think every global citizen must be aware of and act from if we are to survive the next century. Themes include meditation as medication, food as medicine, conflict resolution, financial literacy & more. A collection of effective solutions to issues we all face, so we can thrive in our corner of the Earth. Because when we heal within, this peace ripples out to our relationships and the global community.
