The author in this book walks a mystic path with practical feet. He brings the Buddha face to face with Freud in mindfulness meditation. Stories and metaphors presented belong to life and existential experiences, which turn the ordinary human being into a hero.

They grow, transcend and become poets, writers, mythmakers and heroes. . Amanat has presented a wealth of information about PTSD, the current hidden epidemic around the world
