Publisher's Synopsis
In the north Indian state of Himachal Pradesh, high in the Himalayas, is an ancient land, steeped in legend. It was here that Bill Adams spent a delightful holiday with his family and here that, walking the road above Kalpa, he met Sangratan the Amchi. Sangratan is a healer, a wise counselor and a man of extraordinary powers who travels from farm to farm dispensing his medicines and knowledge. Adams was intrigued, and began to seek him out. Soon Sangratan started teaching the Five Lessons of Life and Adams realised he had stumbled across a man who could offer advice that was both profound in its simplicity, and deeply powerful in its practicality. This extraordinary book is the true story of the meetings between these two men from two different worlds. It is also the author's attempt to pass on Sangratan's teachings to us all. The Five Lessons are a guide to everyone who seeks to improve the quality of his life; to cope when faced with problems; to find out what is really important - and how to live harmoniously with others. The Five Lessons changed Bill Adams for ever. They may help and change us too.
