The practice of medicine, and its embodiment in the clinical encounter between a patient and a physician, is fundamentally a moral activity that arises from the imperative to care for patients and to alleviate suffering.

Within the patient-physician relationship, a physician is ethically required to use sound medical judgment, holding the best interests of the patient as paramount.

The book Innovative Holistic Approaches to PTSD and Life Stress, exemplifies Dr. Thakur's effort to fulfill his obligation as an ethically sound physician. The applications described in this book works to relieve the patient of acute episodes of PTSD and offer a suggestion to the patient for self-help remedies.

The principals here should be adopted by the APA as a relief formula for Mental Stress'.

I have had the pleasure of working with Dr. Hemant Thakur and have seen the information presented in this book put into practice. The information provided in this text approaches recovery efforts from a holistic model. Dr. Thakur addresses PTSD and stress recovery by looking at not only the cognitions that occur with anxiety disorders, but also behavioral and physical effects of long term stress. As a psychologist, I can appreciate that Dr. Thakur approaches stress reduction through a positive psychology lens as well as implementing cognitive behavioral therapy to help alter stress reactions to emotional triggers. He also addresses physical health and behavioral changes that contribute to stress reduction and overall well being. Dr. Thakur has made this book very understandable for practitioners and persons seeking recovery, and provides information that is motivating for change. The text describes in detail how to develop tools and implement changes in daily life for stress reduction. Individuals who want to take greater charge of their goals for mental and physical well being will find this book informative and supportive. I recommend this book for anyone wanting to learn more about anxiety disorders and how to become more active in their recovery process.

Dr. Hemant Thakur believes we can change the world for the better. This book is a roadmap for an individual to take control of their life using techniques developed treating combat veterans for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. He shows how to create peace, harmony and abundance for you then sends you to aid humanity and complete your own development. He is a human spirt with faith that we can change the world for the benefit of all. I am among the hundreds of combat veterans that use his teachings to gain internal peace and reconnect with society positively. The path to success and freedom as well as the methods to find and walk "The Good Red Road" is mapped in this book.

This book exceeds Mega Mind Path to Success and Freedom with more real life examples and techniques. It also has more information on nutrition, life styles of centenarians without need to be on a lot of medications. I highly recommend this book for every day living and not only for PTSD victims. This book can help anyone to improve thier life.

As a physician, I found this to be an original and very helpful book for those suffering PTSD. Persons with PTSD often have many symptoms & problems of living in addition to their primary problems. Dr. Thakur gives us a variety of innovative but soundly based techniques for helping these problems. These techniques are equally useful for many stress-related problems in people without PTSD. His illustrative examples are interesting
Having personally treated people with ptsd & stress related problems for over 40 yrs, I find this book a welcome addition. Most persons will find his book makes easy reading.

Union Gen. William T. Sherman said " War is Hell " but for the PTSD patient the Hell continues ! With symptoms such as anxiety reactions , flashbacks , nightmares , depression , anger , and suicidal tendences you can see why the combat veteran needs all the help he can get . Dr. Thakur is a passionate , dedicated and empathepic person who gives his all to his family and patients . I am honored to be in Dr. Thakur's class at Kansas City V. A. Medical Center . He uses his book " Innovative Holistic Approaches to PTSD and Life Stress " as a lesson plan for a year long sesson , and it works . Although there is no cure for PTSD ; he helped me understand my illness ,daily cope and deal with the signs and symptoms of PTSD . I owe Dr. Thakur a great deal and I highly recommend his book to any one who wants to understand PTSD or live a well rounded life !

COL Hemant Thakur, MD has successfully encapsulated the synergy of mind, body, and emotion, that when effectively applied, can engage and amplify positive outcomes throughout every aspect your life. As a Veteran of Operation Enduring Freedom, serving as a Commander of a Forward Surgical Team in Afghanistan, I have found Mega Mind, Path to Success and Freedom to be factual, enlightening and informative, which definitely benefits soldiers suffering from PTSD, as well as civilians who seek self enhancement.

As a Seventh Day Adventist, this book supports a SDA lifestyle, as our bodies are the temples of the Holy Spirit, and we are to care for them intelligently with adequate exercise, rest and adopt the most healthful diet possible according to the scriptures.

As an Osteopathic physician, this book also reflects the Osteopathic medicine philosophy of the body's ability to heal itself by preventive medicine, eating properly, keeping fit and instructing patients to take more responsibility for their well-being by changing unhealthy patterns, therefore, this book is also beneficial those who seek guidance in achieving physiological, psychological and sociological self-improvement.

"I am a VietNam Veteran with PTSD.

Innovative Holistic Approaches to PTSD and Life Stress has excellent information on everyday living. Dr. Thakur gives recipes on feeling calm, happy, peaceful, controlling anger, weight and many other recipes. Also, there are recipes on dealing with bad memories and giving them a different meaning. This book needs to be read many times because each time it is read, there will be more information that will benefit the reader.
