Description of this Book
Since 1996, while helping many individuals, bodybuilders, amateur athletes and professional athletes with their nutrition programmes, one common trend I kept noticing was the relationship between stress/depression and binge eating. Put simply, when these people were stressed or depressed, they ate and drank! Food (chocolates, potato chips, sweets etc) and alcohol were almost like an addictive drug. For some, these binge sessions were completely out of character; while for others, they didn't even enjoy the foods they binged on. In 2003, I consulted my father, James K J Kang, my mentor in life, about a solution to help my clients comply with their food programmes.

But there was one catch, I had to learn and practise meditation for an unspecified period myself until, in his opinion, I was ready to teach. I agreed, and two years later here I am writing the foreword to his book.

Consequently, they have to be translated into common Chinese words and that translation process requires specialised training. This book contains the essence of my father's meditation techniques derived from information that was passed on to him by his meditation masters (of which there were many!). Some of this information comes via recorded his
