“Game of Trust arrives at a crucial moment, and no one is better suited to lead a conversation about what just happened and where we go from here”
Robert F. Kennedy Jr
Dr Tess Lawrie & the I Ching
Dr Tess Lawrie, an advocate for health sovereignty, presents a bold and explosive account of events in 2021 that sparked an international grassroots movement. When everything she had believed about the medical profession, academia, and the World Health Organization was shattered, World Council for Health and the better way movement emerged as the answer. As a South African-trained medical doctor and independent evidence-based medicine researcher working as a consultant to the WHO and the Cochrane Collaboration, Dr Lawrie is uniquely positioned to reveal the complexities of modern medicine, academia and health.
With a rare ability to integrate both analytical precision and intuitive insight, she embarks on a deeply personal journey to uncover the truth behind incidents and characters in the Covid-19 drama.
Dr Lawrie co-authors this book alongside the ancient wisdom of the I Ching, or Book of Changes, in an unexpected twist, blending science with divination. Her method of drawing character perspectives and event insights retrospectively from this timeless guidebook becomes an extraordinary experiment in seeking truth. The result is a powerful narrative where universal truths emerge—insights that resonate both with specific events and individual experiences.
Through moments of profound reflection and the relentless pace of unfolding drama, Game of Trust reveals the shocking and transformative truths that changed Dr Lawrie’s life, and indeed our understanding of “the science”, forever.
Just as yin and yang are complementary, so too are science and wisdom. With this book, which on the surface is an account of the steps leading to the formation of the World Council for Health (WCH) and the better way movement, Dr Tess Lawrie set out to illustrate this unrecognised fact.
Game of Trust is in fact a novel experiment that relates ancient I Ching wisdom to a distinct set of modern challenges occurring specifically in the year 2021, when corruption ruled the Covid roost, the truth unveiled, and our collective conscience rallied to set mankind free.
