Remove Foil from Suppository Prior to Insertion reveals the humorous and absurd in life. Through entertainment, Hugh Dorman educates us on those products that have no value and make false claims about their efficiency and efficacy. This book will provide many laughs along the way, but will also open your eyes to the frightening reality of America today. About the AuthorAs a physician, educator, and scientist, Hugh Dorman has spent many years trying to heal the sick, train residents and medical students, and promote improved patient care through research. He has always believed that living with gratitude and hope is a gift, providing an inside track to happiness. Family to Dorman is of utmost importance: it is a source of help and support that will smooth the bumps in the road. His experience suggests that altruistic deeds benefit the giver more than the recipient and true charity is best provided anonymously. Moreover, it has become obvious to him that forgiveness and tolerance are essential to calm the soul and feed the spirit. Dorman trusts in God's plan and knows that life unfolds the way it is supposed to. He would not know joy without tragedy, feel love without loving, and appreciate success without failure. Dorman has made more than his share of mistakes, which have served to educate and provide a guide for an improved way of life in a meaningful way and has come to understand that everyone has something valuable to offer, if only he took the time to listen. Finally, introspection of his life has taught him that the simple act of acceptance can result in an outlook on daily life that is less frustrating and more enjoyable.

Make your journey through life a courageous one, keeping focused. Honor events of those that came before us and those who come after us. I have heard it said, the road to success is not straight.

"A treasure indeed to have Dr. Moacanin draw on her years of experience applying Jungian psychology to lead us with penetrating psychological insights into the psyche of the Muslim and all religious worlds."-John Maxwell Taylor, Author of "Forever Jung"Both Jungian psychology and the teaching of Islam reveal pathways to the completion of the human spirit. The insights and 'systems' of each are founded on inspiration not imitation, the unique experiential inner journey toward fulfillment. If you are to take the interpretation of self-directed (greater) jihad it beautifully coincides with Jung's process of individuation. While Islam is more regimented and specifically detailed than Jungian processes, if one is to put jihad in its appropriate spiritual place it becomes an individual spiritual quest rather that an outer political struggle. The completion of both bears no difference- the goal is fulfillment. About the AuthorDr. Radmila Moacanin was born in Belgrade, Yugoslavia. She holds two masters degrees( United Nations & World Affairs; Social Services), a PhD. in psychology, and was a Fulbright scholar in Italy. She speaks six languages. Her first book, The Essence of Jung's Psychology and Tibetan Buddhism, has been translated into 19 languages.
