Life Without Stress : The Far Eastern Antidote to Tension and Anxiety (Paperback)

Dr. Arthur Sokoloff, known as the "Zen Dentist, " has seen what stress can do to his patients and his colleagues, and, after traveling extensively in the Far East and studying for years in Buddhist monasteries and with well-known Zen Masters, he has found the perfect antidote - inner serenity. In Life Without Stress Dr. Sokoloff gently guides us through the basic tenets of the four major Eastern philosophies - Taoism, traditional Buddhism, Zen Buddhism, and Confucianism - and shows us how to integrate their wisdom into our everyday lives to combat anxiety and achieve inner serenity. By sharing ancient parables as well as anecdotes from his own life, Dr. Sokoloff demystifies the complicated, often esoteric principles of these philosophies and proves that combining our pragmatic, Western view of the world with the wisdom of the Far East allows us to gain the best of both worlds. He believes that the first moment we begin to flow, rather than continually swim upstream, something changes and we learn that what we are seeking is already within us.
