"Nothing tastes sweeter than the fruits of an examined life. That's exactly what Steve Stroud offers us in these pages. Despite his impressive professional credentials, his voice remains humble. He includes just enough of his own story to keep his guidance grounded in human reality. From that solid launching pad, he soars from body, to mind, and to spirit, weaving them together as they should be woven, each one mirroring the other two. In the end, what he shares feels very close to the kind of advice our guardian angels offer us fifteen minutes before we are born. This is a step-by-step guidebook about how to live well and come to the end of the trail with the feeling that your life actually meant something."

- Steven Forrest, author of The Inner Sky
