Gabor Mat‚'s connections-between the intensely personal and the global, the spiritual and the medical, the psychological and the political-are bold, wise and deeply moral. He is a healer to be cherished and this exciting book arrives at just the right time Naomi Klein, author of No Logo and The Shock Doctrine
