The field is founded on the belief that people want to lead meaningful and fulfilling lives, to cultivate what is best within themselves, and to enhance their experiences of love, work, and play.

En kollega ska åka till USA med flygbyte på 50 minuter, många blev lite oroliga för den korta tiden mellan flygen. Jag föreslog "Du kan förbereda dig.
