Society as we have known it is going through unprecedented change on many levels-brought to a head recently by the corona virus pandemic. How can individuals not just survive but thrive in this strange, new world? Traditional education has developed physical abilities or mental skills focussed primarily on vocation. However, we need broader life skills to prepare us to handle these exceptional days. Backbone is a symbol of strong character- it is having the strength and ability to uphold commitments and follow through with decisions. People with backbone have broad life skills and can hold steady, adapt and deal with change and upheaval. This book is full of insights gleaned by the author from both his personal journey and over 40 years of patient care. It provides practical tips for readers to meet challenges, build strengths and ultimately find a deeper, more meaningful life.
