Dr. Conrad Aquino sought a career in healthcare. He worked as a physician for several years. At the time of publication, he’s Assistant Director of Professional Services for one of the fastest growing healthcare companies in the Washington DC area. He faced many challenges growing up, which continued throughout medical school. At a young age, he experienced a stress-related heart attack, and later, shortly after marriage, chose to uproot himself from his hometown and family to pursue a better life. Unfortunately, life became even more stressful for this doctor, but several anxiety attacks later, Conrad experienced his De Novo event in March of 2008 and has been stress-free ever since.
Bryson Miller served as an Aerospace Physiologist in the U.S. Air Force and has a second-degree black belt in kung fu. He joined the military to sustain a relationship and to build a better life, but found that it caused a strain over time. After serving the military, he returned home to be in the comfort of family and friends, unknowing of the challenges that laid waiting: his father was diagnosed with brain cancer, and several of his friends having tragic, untimely deaths. Pressing forward, he continued to try to have a serious relationship, only to find himself in a constant cycle of love and loss. Stress continued to build and pushed him into despair, but Bryson experienced his De Novo event in October of 2010 and has been stress-free ever since.

Life Should Be Simple and Easy: If You're Doing It Hard, You're Doing It Wrong by Conrad Aquino MD and Bryson Miller is a slim but powerful motivational book that proposes new paths to finding success and personal fulfillment in life. This book is a helpful tool in personal development and in our relationship with our core nature and with life in general; it is even more wonderful because it is these unassuming expressions of facts that help readers make a difference in life.
Unlike what readers find in many of such books, the authors don’t claim to have the secrets to success, or to offer a proven path to achieving some specific goals. This book only helps readers to become more open to life, to embrace the path of simplicity which helps to clear the stress and enable readers to see their path even better. Divided into six parts, this book offers revolutionary concepts that will change the way readers look at life, hence the way they feel.
The authors, Conrad Aquino MD and Bryson Miller, have adopted a popular, conversational style that carries the message powerfully to the heart of the reader, a style that is accessible to the ordinary reader. I enjoyed the way personal stories are woven into this book and the reader is irresistibly pulled into the worldview of the authors, and the writing allows readers to feel their thoughts with more clarity. The voice is compelling and the ideas in this book are wonderfully articulated. Life Should Be Simple and Easy: If You're Doing It Hard, You're Doing It Wrong is one of those rare books to read, reread, and then pass on. It’s a gift that will surely change the lives of many.
