The Happiness
Revolution
by Blair Lewis, PA
For executives, baby-boomers
and spiritual seekers, this may be the first real guidebook on happiness
and rejuvenation for the 21st century. Trained by yogis, pandits and swamis
for over 30 years, the author takes us on a journey with his patients
and teachers to find a lifestyle and personal philosophy for lasting happiness.
We get to listen in as he uplifts distraught and desperate patients who
are about to give up on life – the very life that can become the
means for their liberation from all pain and misery.
Blair helps us see how our
lifestyle contains all the elements for happiness, success and optimal
health. He gives us the framework and the strategies to assemble all the
parts and make life work for us. Using ancient wisdom, modern science
and his 25 years of clinical expertise, Blair teaches us how to live a
great life. Punctuated with heart-warming and comical stories of the lives
of his patients and family, he makes his point clearly and poignantly.
His no nonsense approach is
real and at times, shocking, on how he helps restructure their lives with
his words, his recipes and his vast experience. This is a how-to manual
on building self-esteem, gaining personal empowerment and the science
of self-transformation. His recipes are delicious, his exercises are practical
and his philosophy is easy to embrace. He shares with his readers the
most refined and perfected strategies for time management, dynamic rest
and rejuvenation. From menu planning to homeopathic medicines, from contemplation
and meditation, to addressing global warming, Blair takes us into his
heart and into the lives of his patients to show us how our life can be
grand and our health can exceed ‘optimal’ as we know it.
Never giving up on his patients
nor his own personal evolution to joy, Lewis is leading the charge for
the next revolution – with wit, wisdom and a philosophy that loves
all and excludes none. It is time for a Happiness Revolution!
Join him! Your family and co-workers
will follow your lead.
