For Healing and Wellness in the World of Opposites This book is based on the Kabbalistic work of Lubavitch Hassidism, the Tanya, (which means "teachings") and how it can be applied to maintaining physical and mental health. It also explains in plain words, the purpose of creation, the essence of G-d and the relationship between Him and mankind.
Therefore, if you don't like the "fine mess" you've gotten yourself into, you'll have to change the conversation. In keeping with the need for practical application of the Divine Wisdom, the purpose of this work is to integrate a few Hassidic concepts from the Tanya (an opus of Kabbalah) with the author's secular platform as a nurse educator.
Although this book is not an attempt to convert anyone to any particular belief system, Moshe Sharon has predicated the health advice contained herein on the universal belief in the one true G-d who controls the world. In view of that, to derive any benefit from the guidance given here, you will need to embrace the Creator of all things and incorporate Him into your way of thinking. Otherwise, good luck with the roller coaster ride that we call life; because there is a lot more to it than few moments of tumultuous self-awareness in starting out as a slimy speck and ending up as bug food and fertilizer. The author has provided exceptional insight into the health benefits of Kabbalah in general and of the Tanya in particular. For example, you will learn about the duality of mankind . . . human intellect versus animal emotion, Kabbalistic concepts of human nature, the life forces and how positive and negative spiritual entities wage war with each other, and how the internal struggle for dominance determines our state of health.Key to Health and Happiness.
In this easy to read book you will learn about the following concepts: How the anatomy of the body mirrors the "anatomy" of the soul; human intellect of knowledge, understanding and wisdom; the positive human attributes of love, humility, and happiness; the animal within and how to subdue it; the three drives of thirst, hunger and sex; the negative human attributes of hate, self-interest and arrogance; body image: Obsession vs. Perspective; Identity: Occupation fixation vs. positive identification; distress activators . . . and much, much more.
