More about the book

The narrative follows Richard Katz, a Harvard-trained psychologist and anthropologist, who immerses himself in a Fijian island community, engaging with spiritual healers and exploring the concept of the "straight path" in healing. His journey reveals the spiritual dimensions of health and the ceremonial use of kava, while also confronting the darker aspects of power and witchcraft amidst village turmoil. This work not only serves as an in-depth study of indigenous healing practices but also reflects on the universal quest for identity and humanity in the face of cultural challenges.
