Despite being able to access this state of mind, day to day life was still very difficult; it is OK for monks to sit meditating all day, but I live in the real world, amongst disputes and confrontational people.

2008 was a very difficult year for me, I made lots of mistakes as I tried to deal with instances of Tibet Syndrome in my personal and business relationships; life was very erratic and full of stress.

I found myself in a situation where I could experience peace and happiness during meditation, yet my day to day life was turbulent.

I set, as my new years resolution, for 2009, to be a nicer person; I felt that I had been dragged down by those who were provoking conflicts around me.

To cut a long story short; during the first half of 2009 I experience 3 insights into the mechanisms of life and after incorporating them into my life I found it got a lot easier and also happier; and it is in this website and in my book that I would like to share those insights with you.

If to you success means lasting peace and happiness then I hope you will find ‘The Meaning of Life’ interesting and practical.
