FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Mike Orban’s book Souled Out, A Memoir of War and Inner Peace is essential reading for anyone who suffers from or has a loved one who suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder. It gives a clear and "user-friendly" understanding about PTSD. Mike’s book is an evocative and quite fascinating glimpse into his post-Vietnam war experience and its impact on every aspect of his life. Moreover, it draws the reader into his healing journey and imbues hope and peace that fill the previously gaping hole of suffering. As a clinical psychologist, I have been recommending this book regularly. - Dr. Patti Levin- clinical psychologist in Boston with over thirty years experience in treating PTSD West Bend Author Gets The Midwest Book Review SOULED OUT:
Souled Out Michael S. Orban Silver Rings Press PO Box 1031, West Bend, WI 53095 9780976758112, $17.00 www.michaelorban.com Michael Orban served as a 20-year-old infantry soldier in Vietnam and in his superbly written autobiography "Souled Out: A Memoir Of War And Inner Peace" takes the reader along on his journey through a disastrous war and into his experiences of loneliness, emptiness, spiritual scarring and psychological destruction. Michael writes candidly of his time in the remote jungles of Africa and a world where humanity is mired in superstitions, omens, black magic, witchcraft, sickness, disease, and every present death. Yet it is also a story of the simplistic beauty in people who are intimately connected to all of life and reverently dependent for purpose on their spirit world and their ancestor worship. Here presented are the oral historians reciting the history of their people, their suffering at the hands of the European colonists. "Souled Out" is also the story of Michael's recovering of spirit and peace through using native resources to build schools, reading the works of Albert Schweitzer while being hospitalized in Gabon, and laughing at Mark Twain's observations and stories. The underlying message of "Souled Out" is that the psychological wounds of war are as serious as the physical ones and can be remedied and recovered from, and that there is relief for and from them. Informed and informative, thoughtful and thought-provoking, "Souled Out" is highly recommended reading and an especially appropriate addition to community library American Biography collections.
