Book excerpt: More Health, Less Care outlines a practical philosophy of personal health and enables readers to develop and act on an individual plan for healthy living. Through the metaphor of "being your own doctor," it explains fundamental principles of change that can be applied for a lifetime instead of the latest fad diet or exercise program. The easily understood stories and disarming, open style invite readers to accept the message and inspire them to make meaningful changes. Other health books typically provide formulas for healthy living in a "one size fits all" approach, ignoring individual variation and the great difficulty of actually implementing major lifestyle changes. By engaging the reader farther upstream in the change process, More Health, Less Care complements other health and wellness works. This book is the same as the identically titled, authored, and dated book previously available from LaChance Publishing LLC (April 14, 2010).
