A Journey to Inner Healing is a dynamic new book by Louis P. Bauer, Ph.D. It is one man?s spiritual journey, from the depths of depression to a new life filled with peace and harmony. But it?s much more than that. It?s a life lesson for everyone that is not only vital to their happiness, but also their overall health and well being.

That was my purpose in writing this book. I wanted to help others who may be experiencing the same negative feelings and emotions that I experienced. Once people understand and learn to work with this awesome connection between the mind, body and spirit, they will notice profound and positive changes in their day-to-day living, their relationships with other people and their personal health and well being. This book is an easy to read adventure, filled with motivational tools and techniques blended with inspirational storytelling. It is designed to help the reader discover a new awareness that will bring them a sense of peace in this fast-paced world.
