Brian Luke is just a normal guy living a normal life. He lives with his incredible, beautiful family, Tara a Registered Nurse within the NHS, his children Adam and Izzy in Suffolk England with two rescue dogs, Buddy and Bella. Brian has had a varied career, joined the British Army Air Corps in March 1990 and travelled around the world including, Germany, Ireland, Canada, Poland, Kenya, Bosnia Herzegovina, Italy, Spain and Iraq. As you can guess some of those places were for operations and others were for adventure training to develop team and life skills. Brian served just over 17 years, then decided to leave to start a new adventure in, “Civilian life,” or the real world setting up as a sole trader, delivering interactive virtual tours for businesses in 2007 just when Google Street View came to the UK.

It was exciting and hard work especially when the recession hit in 2008, this caused a rethink on how on earth was I going to earn money to pay the bills. Brian eventually worked in photo editing, then moved onto front of house coordinating, working in a nuclear power station, restaurants, then found retail as a customer experience manager, then an assistant manager in an out door clothing shop to then join a supermarket store as a trade support manager.

So Brian wrote his first book, “A Better Way to Mental & Physical Well-being” just over 10,000 words in September 2020; but this was inspired by the journey Brian experienced when he faced up to the hard reality that he was not coping with life suffering with outbursts of anger, depression, drank and ate too much and basically living a life that was, if continued would of caused self destruction and a very different life to now.

Brian discovered, Rhonda Byrne’s, “The Secret,” on Netflix, in 2012, this led to reading the book, getting the journal. Then he took control of how he was living life, started to learn about Qigong, conscious breathing techniques, our emotional needs, Autonomic Nervous System, healthy lifestyle that include, food, exercise, meditation. Wim Hof Method and Brian regularly practices cold water therapy on the coast of Suffolk, just dipping in the sea throughout the year.

Brian’s writing started off as a blog because it was a great way to remember all this knowledge as Brian’s memory is at best bad, then started, “A Better Way,” Facebook page. Brian continues learning about belief systems, cultures, diet, lifestyles, well-being and in general anything that helps with improving ones own happiness, fitness and outlook on life.

So a normal guy who has a passion for mental and physical well-being that he hopes will be able to give hope, inspire and motivate anyone that may be experiencing what he himself has conquered. Enjoy!
