a deep read… When You are Falling, Dive.. lessons in the art of living by Mark Matousek

fallingdive1Do survivors of life’s greatest trials possess a secret knowledge? Why do some people blossom through adversity while others fall apart? What mysterious power gets us back on our feet after we’ve been knocked down. The answer: viriditas, the power of drawing passion, beauty, and wisdom from the unlikeliest places.
   InWhen You’re Falling, Dive, the author examines this remarkable phenomenon. Seeking advice from well known survivors such as Joan Didion, Elie Wiesel and Isabel Allende, as well as philosophical experts like Eckhart Tolle, Jon Kabat-Zinn, and Sogyal Rinpoche, he brings twenty-five years of personal experience to the paradoxical question of how disaster can be used to awaken and transform us.

I recommend listening to the radio show archive link as you will notice why this book will be a great read for just about anyone.  It is imperative that we “tune up” our brains, ourselves, our spirits and our bodies to progress in life.  This way it becomes infinitely more enjoyable.  To remain stagnant is both boring and a dangerous way to live.

do you have a “broken brain”?… i loved this book, a totally great resource for supplementation!

Great Book!

Great Book!

I am always interested in alternatives to medications for tons of reasons.  I have acquaintances who are bi-polar, and some who suffer from plain old depression.  I get nervous for them because the long term effects of psychotropic medications are not yet explained or understood.  I also enjoy tuning myself up and trying to be the best I can, and that means improving memory, adrenal functions, and any other body systems through supplements!  This book is the ULTIMATE RESOURCE as there are tests which determine which supplements you would need to improve overall functioning!

there are brain problems that fall on the lighter side of the broken brain continuum, and while many psychiatrists and neurologists wouldn’t qualify these problems as treatable diseases, they still cause unnecessary suffering for many.

These problems include chronic stress, lack of focus, poor concentration, brain fog, anger, mood swings, sleep problems, or just feeling a bit anxious or depressed most of the time.

There is an answer to brain problems, but it’s not more drugs or psychotherapy. Although these tools can be a helpful bridge during your recovery from a broken brain, they won’t provide long term solutions.

The secret that promises to help us fix our broken brains lies in an unlikely place, a place modern medicine has mostly ignored.
