A unique, invaluable resource for managing life's pain.

This book is a true gift. Dr. Shapiro has melded his unique perspective as a physician and clinical psychiatrist with his study of the teachings of the great sages. The synthesis of concepts is remarkable. The result is a universal toolkit for managing the physical, psychological and spiritual pain that life brings (with an big emphasis on psychological and spiritual components). The first part of the book draws a map of how we perpetuate our suffering, big and small. The second part offers an abundance of tools to break the cycle and manage life's pain. This is not an "Instant Karma" self-help book. It puts you on the path to relief from suffering, and arms you with a boatload of practical tools to deploy when the going gets tough. The rest is up to you. To be fully effective, at least some of the techniques presented (you select those most relevant for you) must be integrated into your daily existence. The payoff, however, appears to be as big as you want it to be. Beyond relief from pain or anguish, this book also offers the promise of a life that may never look the same to you again. In an amazing way.

East Meets West = Healing

Dr. Shapiro is a practicing psychiatrist and a devotee of yoga meditation. With a deep understanding of the Western path of understanding as a way to deal with painful situations in life and the Eastern path of transcendence, he offers those facing the brutal reality of pain in life step by step instruction on how to regain an inner peace. Dr. Shapiro's work also will help those labeled as mentally ill or emotionally unstable to a deeper awareness of themselves as spiritual souls on a journey. This work is a great resource for people in pain, written by a great soul who understands what it means to feel trapped by and lost in problems that can appear to be unbearable and unsolvable.
