As a teen, he suffered a personal tragedy witnessing his father's suicide, which culminated into trauma-related, stress-induced health problems affecting his mind and body. However, he found solutions, and to our benefit, he shares his secret recipe to life through his writings.His first book, The Experiential Approach: A Fresh New Approach For Creating Immediate Personal Power, is designed to enhance life experiences. It is about how we can make positive changes in our behavior and thought processes by examining our beliefs, intentions, choices, and actions to overcome our adversity. He follows the consequential path of how beliefs lead to intentions, which create choices, which manifest into actions. If only everyone knew this." Dr. Manoj Jain, MD, MPHThe Mindfulness Approach is the second in a series of books designed to assist the reader in making physical changes in their health by using the power of their mind. Mindfulness and meditation techniques are explored, providing the reader with enough information to move forward on their path toward optimum health and healing. I also wrote this book based on my personal experiences. Having suffered many years with a severe case of Ulcerative Colitis, a debilitating disease of the colon, I experienced complete remission and a newfound joy and zeal for life. My total recovery was a result of my introduction to and practice of meditation and mindfulness. It has changed my life in profound ways, and I want those who suffer from stress or stress-related illnesses to find their way to healthier states of being.
