Nothing Too Much is a book that glimpses into human-ness, healing and spiritual exploration. Artist-author Helen Byron, now 82, was compelled to tell her story of discovering the enduring connection of mind-body-spirit. Diagnosed with multiple sclerosis at age 59, she was determined to contest the western doctors' sentence of physical deterioration. In this fight, she moved to India and joined an ashram.
