Lisa Oz may be known as the wife of ubiquitous physician Dr. Mehmet Oz, but her written work proves that she is a force to be reckoned with who has a set of valuable thoughts about how we can cultivate health—and happiness. Lisa Oz is the first to admit that there is no one cookie-cutter ‘Handbook to Happiness’ for everyone, since people and relationships are so utterly unique. And yet, we can all use some helpful hints, delivered with love and laughter.
In her new book, Us, Oz successfully offers a blueprint to building healthy, conscious, loving, and productive relationships. Throughout these pages, she proves to be a powerful motivational speaker to the soul, emphasizing the importance of how to get real, be present, turn your co-dependence into self-realization and above all – to be kind.
Oz draws on the wisdom of ancient masters to modern messengers, a veritable pantheon of great thinkers, philosophers and spiritualists; she summarizes their principles and restrings them with her own charming insights. She is a skillful seamstress continually uniting Self, Other and the Divine: the great trinity of completeness. Her welcome reminders include the fact that nothing grows without agitation, it is imperative that we become comfortable outside our comfort zones, and all change begins with a new thought.
Us offers both men and women a powerful vocabulary to take their dialogue deeper and achieve new depths while truly “living in relationship.”
