From Storm To Serenity

Toby Walzer never imagined that despair could feel so real. Imbued with a deep love of Yiddishkeit absorbed from her esteemed family, and blessed with a devoted husband and beautiful children, Toby did not seem a likely candidate to experience mental suffering. But when faced with the immense challenge of caring for two severely disabled children and the sudden loss of both parents in a very short period of time, something seemed to crack. Struggling desperately with acute depression, Toby soon slipped into a long, dark, emotional tunnel from which there seemed no escape. And then she came across the Principles of Innate Health, an understanding of the mind which explains that all feelings are only ever coming from our thoughts. Armed with this knowledge, Toby discovered that no matter what she was feeling, Hashem had blessed her – and us all – with the perfect psychological capacity to handle whatever life throws at us. From Storm to Serenity is the extraordinary, moving account of Toby’s journey in reclaiming her innate mental health and discovering a new-found confidence and sense of self. Walking hand-in-hand with Toby as she learns to gracefully navigate the “ups” and “downs” of her life, this book conveys the keys to living a life of true emotional well-being. This inspiring story is not just about one person’s experiences. The lessons contained within apply to us all. “If life hurts, this book opens the door to relief and the possibility of true happiness.” Rav Michel Twerski shlita The Hornosteipler Rebbe
