Suffering from PTSD and severe depression from past trauma, battling an addiction to overprescribed psychiatric medication, and at the rock bottom of his career, journalist Brad Wetzler had nowhere to go. So he set out on a journey to wander and hopefully find himself\u2014and the world\u2014again. Into the Soul of the World is Wetzler\u2019s thrilling, impactful, and heartrending memoir of healing\u2014physically, emotionally, and spiritually. An adventure journalist at heart, Wetzler mixes travelogue with empowering insights about his inner journey to better care for his own mental health. Journey with him as he travels across Israel and the West Bank, before moving on to India, a candle-lit cave on a mountaintop in the Himalayan foothills, and a life-changing encounter with a 100-year-old yogi. Wetzler's writing is full of the poignant, amusing, and occasionally heart\u2011breaking situations that unfold when we finally decide to confront depression (or any mental health struggle) and declare ourselves ready to heal: How do we heal our past and thrive again? What does it mean to live a good life? How can we transform our suffering and serve others? His answer: live to tell the story and find the humility and courage to be the best human you can be.  Stay connected\u2014on the path, in the work, and in the soul. \ud83c\udf10 Website & offerings: https:\/\/bradwetzler.com \ud83d\udcec Substack | Seeking: Letters to the Restless: https:\/\/bradwetzler.substack.com \ud83d\udcf8 Instagram: https:\/\/instagram.com\/bradwetzler \ud83d\udcd8 Facebook: https:\/\/facebook.com\/bradwetzlerwriter \ud83c\udf93 Memoir Workshop \u2013 One Powerful Session: https:\/\/bradwetzler.com\/one-powerful-session-one-inspired-follow-up-a-lifetime-of-writing-tools \ud83c\udf00 Writing the Soul \u2013 A Guided Journey: https:\/\/bradwetzler.com\/writing-the-soul \ud83c\udf99\ufe0f Audiobook \u2014 Into the Soul of the World: https:\/\/adbl.co\/3NAtvCc \ud83d\udcda Hardcover book: https:\/\/amzn.to\/3JYPsp7     ","author_name":"The Seeker","author_url":"https:\/\/www.bradwetzler.com","html":"
