Mark O’Meara is the author of “The Feeling Soul - A Roadmap to Healing and Living”, for which Mark Victor Hansen, Co-creator of the Chicken Soup series says “breakthrough healing is possible and this book shows you how!” He is a professor at a University College in Vancouver and has a Masters degree in Counseling. Mark began writing “The Feeling Soul” after discovering that tears and laughter were his keys to mental health instead of medication. He wrote the book in hope that others will experience life free from emotional pain.

Mark has become an inspiration to many of his readers by sharing candidly how he overcame his own personal issues by using the strategies in the book. Readers responses have been tremendously positive. Many people are realizing their previous emotions and reactions are a normal part of being human.

The biggest lesson Mark learned from writing The Feeling Soul is that the quality of our life is not determined by what we have, but how we deal with situations that arise. If you can find meaning in suffering, then you can overcome it. Most people do everything they can in their power to avoid pain, but if you face your pain head on, you can eliminate it.

When asked about his thoughts on the existing healthcare system, Mark says “The cure to my suffering was in a new attitude and belief system about myself, not in a pill. I hope my book can enlighten the general public on that message.” He continues saying with excitement “The biggest benefit from doing my own emotional healing work is it unleashed the gates of my creativity. I am in the process of recording a music CD, writing two children’s books, a prayer book, and a funny mini-cd of parodies. I now have the clarity on personal relationships with others, and I am not afraid to ask for help when I need it.”
