Living the Real Tree of Life: Personal Journal Edition

Despite our best efforts and regardless of our spiritual paths and beliefs, we all find ourselves confronted moment-to-moment with a mind-boggling array of life demands and challenges. In these pages, Dr. Jiron offers strategies and tools for help in navigating this "dance on spinning logs in churning rapids" for use by almost anyone, anywhere, anytime. Chapters are presented in brief, essay format, for ease of reading and application. Topics are sequenced like a tree, beginning with the "Roots," such as Bodacious Breathing and Building Focus, then moving on to "Branches" and "Foliage & Flowers," the universal challenges of managing conflict and adversity, with the "Canopy" chapters addressing deeper discussions of personal and spiritual growth. Appendices include Italicized Points to Ponder, Joyful or Useful Self-Talk, and a Glossary of Terms. With this book, Dr. Jiron presents a grass roots manual grounded in the bedrock of perennial teachings and applied to contemporary issues. These ideas are based on forty years of study/practice and professional experience, yielding a unique blend of common sense and the spiritually sublime, and are intended to be helpful for people from all walks of life.
