Mind Health Matters with Dr Bernie Siegel: To Become a Living Art

To Become a Living Art: The Life Story of Roy Shingen Goldberg Sensei with Charlie Siegel

Delve into the profound and empowering life of Roy Shingen Goldberg Sensei: a life encompassing the values of cultivating inner growth, self-discipline, and eternally striving to be the best version of oneself. His eventual success as the highest-ranking non-Japanese practitioner of the ancient samurai martial art of Daito Ryu Aikijujutsu is only a part of his incredible life story.

As you read through from his humble beginnings in the 1950s to today, Roy’s sense of humor, relaxed storytelling, and infectiously invigorating inner drive will begin to feel like speaking with an old friend. Written by one of his private students and a bestselling author of multiple books, Charlie Siegel, this book is filled with Roy’s personal anecdotes and observations, and firsthand stories by Charlie and many of Roy’s other students, friends, and family.

Roy Goldberg shares his life story here as a means of expressing the message that we can all become our best selves when we set our minds on a path of greatness. As this book shares, life’s myriad experiences are not setbacks or roadblocks; they are merely steppingstones that make us stronger when we climb over them with a shugyo mentality.

Charlie was raised in a spiritual environment, honoring nature and respecting the Universe. This expresses itself in his writing, where he blends fantastical experiences with everyday life, to help people to find the magic and inspiration surrounding them and within themselves. Charlie has also been training in the martial arts since he was 4 years old and shares through the life story of his teacher how one can find success through passion, heart, grit and determination. He shows how the martial arts can transcend self-defense and become a powerful vehicle to learn to connect within yourself and with the world around you.

With a background in inspirational poetry, his work often has a soothing flow to it, with a use of original and descriptive metaphors that paint a picture for the reader, not only of the scene involved, but of the meaning therein. His works are often archetypal, designed to connect with issues or struggles many may experience, and offer help and guidance to work through it and learn the lessons life can teach us, efficiently and effectively, while allowing you to get lost in the story at the same time.

He hopes you find his work to be comforting and healing and invites you to explore his photography pages on social media to further see his works to uplift the soul and spread The Light.
