Soma is the first part of a triptych answering the question "How to live?". In this part, the editors have invited experts to share their knowledge with the Readers in an accessible way. The monograph is an intellectual journey into realms that elude statistical evaluation, touching on spirituality, psychology and public health. The collection of issues gathered in this book is an interesting compendium of knowledge and can serve as a kind of manual for the body in the modern world, putting it into seemingly non-obvious contexts. Sometimes with a wink, sometimes with an overbearing literalism, but always in line with the science, the authors touch on major public health issues, diseases
internal and lifestyle-dependent diseases, at times looking through the eyes of a single narrator who struggles with reality.
