This is a brilliantly insightful work exploring the links between body and mind, wellness and dis-ease; both intriguing and innovative, Sara Beaumont-Connop's writing is accompanied by her husband, Michael's sharp and illuminating sketches. This is an absorbing, thoughtful book providing excellent explanations of functional and dysfunctional behaviour packed full with relevant examples from the authors vast professional background and offers cutting edge thinking. This work is rich with story, graphics and an holistic approach for a happier, healthier life, but it's greatest gift is that it offers an accessible roadmap for personal transformation.Shoshanna Cogan. M.S Counseling. International Training and Consulting.It is a veritable global nomad's guide to the galaxies; all of them; replete with the humour and pragmatism from Down Under. Having worked as a physician for decades with expatriates in overseas settings, there has always been a need for great resource books and here's one you should read and have! The introduction presents the concept of the disparate horse and rider. Through vignettes and well illustrated rich scientific theory this concept grows through the book, culminating in a cleverly integrated function as a "Centaured being."This will join my list of recommended readings. In the waiting room or on the coffee table, it will inspire conversation, introspection and action.
