He writes about his own experiences in the death camps and how the key to survival was finding a sense of meaning in the situation, even if it was simply to live long enough to exact revenge on one's captors. Those who abandoned any hope or meaning were often found dead shortly thereafter. It's really fascinating reading.<br /><br />And about getting the book in Australia, I'm told it will be available down there because the publisher has contacts -- I don't quite understand the process, but aside from online sources, sometime or other, it will be on shelves or available by electronic reader. It's an academic work, written for clinicians (doctors, psychologists, nurses, therapists, etc.) but we tried very hard to make it as "readable" as possible. You know how lots of academic works read like the ultimate cure for insomnia. We decided we wanted to communicate rather than anesthetize, so we wrote it much more conversationally. I hope that's the impression people get when they read it, anyhow. :-)Bill Conwayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16101525260347714309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2703847687174045960.post-84813950275115234732009-12-17T16:52:59.460-05:002009-12-17T16:52:59.460-05:00Hi Garnet!

Depression can cause heart problems and visa versa. I also read once that in this world there are leaders (minority) and followers (majority)..It was said that in the WW11 camps.. the leaders were guarded, but not the followers who gave up and died... <br />I would love to read your book also...It surely sounds wonderful!!!<br /><br />I remember a bible verse here: "As a man thinketh in his heart so is he.
