How to Live Well, What-Even Life Brings: Love, Spiritual Growth and Understanding Stress
by Pilar O. Tan, M.D. —
The book explores 17 habits you can learn and use in order to live well with whatever life brings.
It is a guide for living physically and mentally healthy, and achieving authentic success — a glance into how emotional health, awareness and maturity play pivotal roles in our day-to-day life. Spiritual writing and poetry were never on the life to-do list of Tan.
She was a scientist, practicing internal medicine.
Through the years, her spiritual life was brought into focus as she learned about life’s trials and triumphs. After the untimely death of her son, she began to seriously question her faith.
With the help of her family, friends and colleagues, Tan found her way out from the depths of despair.
Her experiences kindled within her a desire to use her personally tragic experience for the benefit of others. The result of this catharsis is this book.
As she tells her story of adaptation, Tan describes the coping skills she learned to use consciously to live life successfully.
She uses medical knowledge learned as an internist, while weaving poetic verses, biblical excerpts and inspirational quotes to complement each topic.
