註釋John McArdle¿s story continues from his action-packed days as personal bodyguard to Australia¿s twenty-second Prime Minister, Malcolm Fraser (recounted in his first book, Prime Minister¿s Bodyguard), to tell of the major nervous breakdown he suffered and finally his long road to recovery. Suicidal, depressed, heavily medicated and under constant psychiatric care, John shut himself off from the world and his family and was virtually unable to get out of bed for nine years. He gave up all hope of ever returning to the real world. Fate intervened and he was guided to a special person who taught him that he could heal himself through meditation learned from a Buddhist monk. From shaky beginnings, the author fought and gradually regained control of his mind and body. Setting himself a major challenge, he decided to face the world; it would be a make or break test of his will and health. He and his wife, Jay, though middle-aged, decided to sell their house and major possessions and backpack around the world. What followed was an incredible, life-changing journey through various countries that eventually led him to discover his soul, find peace and make a full recovery. This is a book that will inspire and give hope to the countless people who suffer the terrible hell of depression.
