How the Book changed my life
​You Can Heal Your Life changed my life as well. Almost a decade ago, I was having the life of my dreams- the “perfect” career, flowing income, a wonderful relationship. I was living in the big city of my dreams where I could fulfil all my desires. All the boxes for the plan of life were ticked off and yet I found myself stuck on the hospital bed asking myself the very existential questions of life. This is when You Can Heal Your Life came into my hands. And life was never the same again.
