Conventional wisdom suggests that maintaining good health and physique requires regular exercise and a low-fat, whole-food diet. However, an increasing number of individuals are embracing fasting, choosing to abstain from food altogether. The question arises: should we fast? And does fasting hold a profound and enduring significance within us? Why are we so well-suited to engage in this practice? Furthermore, is there a way to harmonize the demands of our hectic lifestyles with an ancient ritual that necessitates dedicated time for rest and rejuvenation? This book delves into these questions and more, revealing that the history of fasting is deeply intertwined with the core aspects of the human experience and represents a quest for mastery over our bodies, minds, health, circumstances, and destiny. It explores the hopes, anxieties, and convictions that propel us on this transformative journey.
