The spiritual/healing path comes complete with its pitfalls and pratfalls, its pity parties and power trips, its puns and poetry, its problems and paradoxes. Dr. Stew experiences them all on his journey from his head to his heart, and shares them with wit and wisdom, inspiration and irreverence.

This warm and honest travelogue will be an inspiration to anyone who knows their thoughts often get in the way of their dreams. Dr. Stew lives his dream inside and outside his chiropractic practice. The principles of Life are the beacon on his long, strange trip, and are the thread that holds it all together. Barely…

A note from the author:

Perfection is just around the corner but life is a circle. No wonder we’re so dizzy… Does anyone have all this stuff figured out? If so, I’m sure they are wrong… It’s mind-boggling. The mind boggles… it screws up royally, it falls asleep on the job. It creates havoc and pain and suffering, and the insurance companies won’t even reimburse you for it.… Dr. Stew Bittman

What Readers Are Saying

"This book reveals a fresh and exciting paradigm of conscious love and healing that could change the world. It demonstrates a law that unveils the delicate weave of spirit, health, physics and biology as a subtle dance. Dr. Stew has successfully merged concepts of science of the mind and spirituality, with a realization of the 4th dimension and how to retrieve it into the third dimension for the good of mankind. The author's discoveries, insights, and visions are impressively supported by the example he sets for the rest of humanity. The reader of this book will have a glimpse of how to have it all, and share it with others." Jim Sigafoose, D.C.

"I'm so glad there are people like you in our profession. Your insights, inspirations and curiosity about life, love, and just being are what true healing and healers are all about." Tedd Koren, D.C.

"Dr. Stew has got the Big Idea. His unique approach to putting a contemporary spin on the basic tenets of Chiropratic philosophy is brilliant! He is a beacon of light and guidance for those seeking a principled path. His insights are full of charm, wit and candor, and his own journey and struggles stand as a testimony for all of us who are on the journey. Between Heaven and a Hard Place is a must read." Peter

"WOW! Fantastic read. I could not put it down. I laughed and cried out loud. So many times I have felt that the spiritual path has just disappeared right in front of me. Now I know there are others on the path. It's like being in a blizzard not knowing which way to turn, then you see the light of a lantern ahead and you know that help is there. Stew, that light is you and your connection to God. You are a beacon to help guide us. Thank you for being there, and for writing it down. Continue on your journey and keep writing it down." Dr. Matt Dillman

"I loved the book! I couldn't put it down. I laughed, I cried, I related. Your humor, satire, introspection, and honesty were exciting and inspirational." Audrey Forehand, CommunicationWorks

"If you are inspired by Henry David Thoreau and Wayne Dyer, and laugh at Groucho Marx—you will love this wonderful stream of consciousness. Fantastic!" Kaye Wolf, author, Up Please!

Dr. Stewart Bittman

An internationally acclaimed speaker and teacher, Dr. Stew Bittman has lived in Lake Tahoe for over 25 years. It is here that he has slowly recovered from his over-educated, uneventful mid-baby boom New York City upbringing and lives the life he always dreamed about. He has a deep love for the land, discovering God in the many flowering meadows and sun-kissed mountain lakes.

His reverence for Life extends to all humans on this planet, as well, and his mission is to empower one person at a time thru chiropractic. Dr. Stew has left no stone unturned on his own journey to facilitate each person’s healing of themselves by rediscovering their own true nature and the doctor within.

Safe Haven Chiropractic is a healing center based on a donation-only system allowing all to achieve wellness. Stew has helped thousands of individuals and families to embrace their gifts, pursue their dreams and find the peace and wholeness (health) that already reside within. Additionally, he has traveled the world teaching the chiropractic principle, and has participated in six chiropractic missions to Central America, bringing that principle to life.

Stew’s wife, Hillary, would like to add, "I think Stew would say that he is proud of what he’s accomplished: a chiropractic practice that has literally changed the lives of thousands; a family that is very close and loving and that enjoys doing everything together; a balanced life which allows him to serve, to share his gifts and to live his dream. His mother-in-law thinks he is an angel. And, lest you think he sounds like a saint, I assure you that he is at least as full of schmootz as anybody else.”
