Getting a Life by Thomas Saunders

Thomas was born in London's East End. Despite the Blitz and wartime disruptions to his childhood education, he followed his dream to become an architect. In his father's cockney vernacular, he would say 'he boxed above his weight'. Aged 28, he set up on his own. After 20 years, when The Thomas Saunders Partnership (TTSP) became an international practice, he knew it was time to move on. He explored both the outer world of the Amazon, the Arctic and the Atlantic and the inner metaphysical worlds of meditation, the Tarot, dowsing, sacred geometry and healing work. Aged 60, he lost a fortune and found Janet, the love of his life. 'Getting A Life' is about his quest to 'become that which we already are'.
Thomas Saunders, Fellow RIBA, was the founder and senior partner of an international firm of architects and now practices as an independent consultant. He is a practicing dowser and long-time member of the National federation of Healers. His first book 'The Boiled Frog Syndrome - Your Health and the Built Environment' was published by Wiley Academy in 2002 and was also published as 'A Sindrome do Sapo Cozido' in Brazil in 2005. Elsevier Ltd. published 'Health Hazards and Electromagnetic Fields' in 2004. Watkins Ltd. published 'The Authentic Tarot - Discovering Your Inner Self' in 2007. He has given Tarot seminars and personal readings for the past 30 years in the UK, France and America and at one time was a regular broadcaster on LBC Radio and the Tarot expert for 'Marie Claire'. He travelled 1500 miles into the Amazon jungle alone with 5 native Indians, camped with Inuits, 300 miles north of the Arctic Circle and is an experienced trans-Atlantic sailor. He has also extensively travelled to Japan, India, the Middle East, North and East Africa, North America, Brazil, Venezuela, Mexico and the Caribbean. He now lives with his wife in North London.
