I discuss those values which have stood the test of time as benchmarks for living, such as fresh air, sound sleep, eating real food, sexuality, laughter, and hospitality. Self-reliance, personal dignity, and economic reality are the major themes. I do not offer quick \ufb01x solutions or self-development practices which soon fall out of use because they have no attachment to real life. I believe we can discover a lasting union with our neighbours, our planet and ourselves. When we live this way, we not only \ufb01nd deep contentment, but we contribute to the common good of our society.<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;Whiteaker\u2019s belief in the importance of spiritual harmony and peaceful integration of mind and body is often inspiring and always compelling.&#8221; <strong>Daily Express<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/Good-Living-Times-Stafford-Whiteaker\/dp\/1780993161%3FSubscriptionId%3DAKIAJ55VBKDHGIADXERA%26tag%3Dthegooretgui-21%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D165953%26creativeASIN%3D1780993161\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">BUY <em>Good Living in Hard Times<\/em> at Amazon UK<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"book\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/Best-Centres-Retreats-Pocket-Guides\/dp\/1844132277?SubscriptionId=AKIAJ55VBKDHGIADXERA&amp;tag=thegooretgui-21&amp;linkCode=xm2&amp;camp=2025&amp;creative=165953&amp;creativeASIN=1844132277\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-100\" src=\"https:\/\/test.get-it-write.com\/stafford\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/Best-Yoga-Centres-Retreats.jpg\" alt=\"Image of Best Yoga Centres and Retreats (Pocket Good Guides) by Stafford Whiteaker\" width=\"115\" height=\"160\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3><em>Best Yoga Centres &amp; Retreats<\/em><\/h3>\n<p>Author: Stafford Whiteaker<br \/>\nPublisher: Rider &amp; Co<br \/>\nISBN 13: 9781844132270<br \/>\nPaperback: 240 pages<\/p>\n<p>In this book, I list over 400 places in the UK and Europe for the best yoga activities.
