Focusing on the traditional wisdom and health practices of Tibet, this book takes a practical approach to the crucial relationship between our health and the way we live. It distils these teachings into a comprehensive guide to preventive health care and health maintenance for people of all ages, cultures, and constitutional types. Clearly explaining the principles and methods handed down by Tibetan teachers and doctors, the author gives guidelines for lay persons in applying them to different aspects of daily life. Readers are encouraged to determine their own needs by taking the "self-profile" test, which enables them to discover their own physical/personality type according to the Tibetan system. Sachs keys each dietary and lifestyle recommendation to the different personal types identified in Tibetan practice. Preventive health care - the fastest growing dimension in contemporary Western medicine - increasingly looks to the individual to take responsibility for promoting health through a healthy lifestyle. Sachs' systematic approach and helpful charts and drawings make this manual easy to use. He leaves us little excuse to put off taking the simple steps that will start us on the path toward full health and well-being.

Written with lucidity and compassionate understanding, Perfect Endings shows how the death experience is an expansion into a wider dimension of our core being. As we move through our dying process, all the strength and wisdom we have gained in a lifetime is called forth. This is a time of quickening in which the final stages of living work themselves out as we step into our death and what lies beyond. No matter how it appears, it is, in fact, our finest hour--our perfect ending. Robert Sachs explains how he uses the Tibetan practice of phowa, or conscious dying, to aid this process in his own counseling practice. Written as a series of stories that allow us to be privy to the inner workings of the dying process of individuals with whom Sachs worked as a professional hospice counselor, each case illustrates a particular aspect of the transformative process that led each person to his or her own interior landscape. Journeying in tandem with these souls, Sachs presents different solutions to the task of letting go of life and provides valuable guidance for caregivers, family members, and those who are facing death themselves.
