Theodore (Teddy) Smith is no stranger to extraordinary experiences. As a teacher, educator, trainer, on-air personality, and martial arts black belt, he's learned plenty of lessons over the years-many of them difficult and soul-wrenching. Yet each one has helped him navigate life's tough road and has given him the knowledge to turn life's everyday experiences into profound insight. Part autobiography and part self-help guide, The Power and Art of Living shares Smith's inspiring journey through past and present creating a blueprint of how to successfully live your life. Through reflection, meditation, proper physical activity, mental stimulus, and spiritual outreach, reaching a place of enlightenment is not only possible, but essential to discovering the keys to inner growth, strength and maturity. If you embrace self-reflection and have an open mind, Smith believes you will find the ability to learn from your own daily experiences and be able to awaken previously overlooked ideas and attitudes. Along with like-minded friends, Smith encourages you to question preconceived values, beliefs, and goals and then use the answers to help reshape the quality of your life. The Power and Art of Living combines principles from the East and the West to help you create a road map to living a successful, fulfilling life!
