The desire to "live high" led the author of the book to a dead end: problems with health, in personal life, in business and finances. Trying to find a way to remedy the situation, he accidentally met with austerities. Having learned what power is hidden in them, he devoted the next 11 years to simple, but very powerful practices. As a result, they completely changed his life and helped to realize a more successful development scenario. About how it was, what kind of austerities he practiced and how they influenced him, is described in detail in this book.
