Want to be a healthy, happy person in an unhealthy world? Get ready to start breaking some rules.
Pilar Gerasimo, founding editor of Experience Life magazine, argues that in an unhealthy society like ours, being a healthy person requires choices and patterns so unconventional, they amount to a positive form of social deviance. For decades, we've been lectured by experts and authority figures on the importance of dieting, exercising, and living in prescribed ways. It seems as if we are constantly being flooded by advice, only to have that advice refuted and replaced by something new. Part manifesto, part new-era survival guide, The Healthy Deviant is a renegade handbook for those who want to beat the unhealthy odds. With insight and expertise, using hand-drawn illustrations and easy-to-grasp charts, Gerasimo explains how we can reclaim our health and happiness--by refusing to play games rigged against us, and by breaking away from the systems that have been breaking us down. Drawing on medical, psychological, and brain-science research, this book provides practical advice for enhancing the efficacy of any weight-loss, mindfulness, or health-improvement approach--without insisting on any one-size-fits all method or miracle cure. Gerasimo's 14-day Healthy-Deviant Adventure Program presents a series of "Renegade Rituals" (plus daily readings, worksheets, reminders, and progress tracking tools) that put you firmly back in charge of your own wellbeing. For anyone interested in living with greater vitality and resilience, The Healthy Deviant offers fresh hope, renewed motivation, and a clear path toward a vibrant life of your own choosing."synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.

Paperback. Condition: Good. A RADICAL APPROACH TO WELLNESS: This self-help book rejects 'one-size-fits-all' dieting and health advice to offer practical strategies for getting healthy-your way. What kind of society makes being healthy and happy so difficult that only a small percentage of the population can pull it off? A sick society. And within a sick society-one where illness, anxiety, and depression are the prevailing norms-what does it mean to be one of the few people to beat those unhealthy odds? It meansbucking a lot of your society's norms and rejecting a lot of its conventional health prescriptions. It also means acknowledging a disturbing truth: If you aren't breaking the rules, you're probablybreaking yourself. That's the simple, provocative philosophy behind The Healthy Deviant, one seasoned health journalist's quest to reframe healthy choices as a positive form of social rebellion. Combining hand-drawn infographics and statistics with insights from sociology, psychology, evolutionary biology, functional medicine, and the school of hard knocks, this category-defying book rejects the idea that diet and exercise alone can save us-or are even the best places to start. Gerasimo's 14-day Healthy-Deviant Adventure Program presents a series of powerful perspective shifts and simple daily practices-plus illustrations, infographics, worksheets, reminders, and progress tracking tools-that put you firmly back in charge of your own wellbeing.
