Paul Huljich

PAUL HULJICH author of two books, was born in Auckland, New Zealand. From the time he was young he worked very hard. He was a university dropout who left to build a very successful fruit juice business. Later he co-founded Best Corporation, a pioneering organic foods company, which was listed on the stock exchange, of which he was Chairman and Joint-CEO.

In 1998, due to enormous uncontrolled stress of his life and loss of his father, Paul was diagnosed by psychiatrists as suffering from Manic Depression. That year, he experienced a full mental breakdown, his bank accounts were frozen, credit cards and passport was confiscated, lost his rights as a citizen and was made a ward of the state.

Informed that there was no cure, that he would eventually relapse, and that he would be dependent on medication for the rest of his life, Paul traveled to the world-renowned Mayo Clinic in Minnesota for treatment and later admitted himself to the Menninger Clinic in Kansas to more fully understand and address his condition. Aided by research and his background in pioneering organic foods in the 1980's, and determined to find a cure and "Never allowing his flame of Hope to be extinguished" - he studied and developed the holistic 9 Natural Steps to break the cycle of stress. A wellness plan, which allowed him to be aware of the stressors in his life, as well as develop the empowering techniques, which allowed him to fortify himself, to minimise its harmful effects of stress. This would help him end his dependence on medication to cure himself of his stress induced condition, find joy, true peace of mind happiness and amazing contentment which he had lost in his quest of life.

Since the year 2000, Paul has never taken any psychotropic or psychiatric medication or any medication related to mental illness. Nor has he suffered any relapse of depression or manic depression, or received further treatment from any psychiatrist, therapist, or doctor regarding mental illness. Life has never felt better and he is free to live the life he wants.

Paul is working harder than ever, as a global advocate to bring about awareness to the prevention of mental illness where he says - "prevention is better than recovery". His has done over 500 radio interviews, makes regular appearances on television, interviewed by many radio blogs, news and magazines. He is a member of the stress institute of America, and a public speaker, he is today one of America's top stress experts, conducting motivational and stress relief seminars in the USA and other parts of the globe. His journey is to bring about global awareness, as to the consequence of unchecked stress. Say No to Stress, and live free is his motto.

BETRAYAL of Love and Freedom is inspired by his remarkable true story. It is a wonderful blend of truth and fiction,
