“No-one has to live with chronic pain! In my book “Back in Charge” I relate my personal story of recovering from fourteen years of chronic back pain, after learning about the connection between mind and body. The journey of recovery I then pursued restored me to full health and quite simply transformed my life.
Determined to spread the message about this powerful method of healing I wrote “Back in Charge”, which blends a personal narrative with information from the relevant professionals, including Dr John Sarno, Dr Howard Schubiner and British physiotherapist Georgie Oldfield, founder of SIRPA. This gives the book wide appeal and an immediate readability. The text is often upbeat and humorous, and contains many pointers for readers who might also be suffering from chronic pain or other unexplained symptoms. There is hope, there is a way of healing and there is a pain-free life to be enjoyed and celebrated.

Back in Charge has featured in “Pain News”, the journal of the British Pain Society, and in “Saga” magazine. A video interview with Georgie Oldfield is available to watch on the SIRPA website.

I have also written a novel called “Debbie’s Memorable Year”, available from Amazon.

Luigi Kohli is an award-winning author, born in London in 1965 to an Italian mother and Indian father. He grew up in a household full of stories, with his grandparents having lived as adults through two of the world’s most turbulent events: WWII and the partition of India. A lover of books and the movie epics of the 50’s and 60’s, he was struck by one story in particular. Ben-Hur: A Tale Of The Christ (written by Lew Wallace).

During a successful period of running his own company, in 1991 he met his future wife, Hilda. It was a time of turmoil in Lebanon, a land that was to become a source of inspiration for his ambition as yet unfulfilled – to take on the challenge of continuing where Lew Wallace closed his story.

During the next 27 years he and Hilda had two children, a daughter and a son, and he focussed on a career in marketing. However, in 2022 he finally left the corporate world to turn his attention to his dream, his debut novel a historical fiction he had wanted to write since his teens. A story that is ALETHEIA.

Aletheia blends prophecy, betrayal, love and a thirst for power at the height of Imperial Rome into a tale of destiny. As hidden forces shape the fate of a rising empire, unlikely heroes emerge — bound by one man’s vision. No matter the vengeance or the course of personal ambition, there is no escaping the truth. A truth that will shape the history of the known world.
