A long and healthy life can be attributed to harmony of four specific areas: physical activity, cognitive development, psychological mindset,and nutrition. While many other mind/body connection books focus on improving health from only a couple of those viewpoints, A SOUND MIND IN A SOUND BODY examines all four areas and the accompanying research.
Written by a practicing psychologist who has been involved with both psychological and medical research for his entire career, the findings are presented in a pragmatic yet entertaining manner, and the book includes self-graded quizzes to assess healthy-living practices, reviews of the most current research available, and doable action items for both maximizing longevity and avoiding debilitating conditions.
