Publisher's Synopsis
Health & Happiness for the Western World outlines a down-to-earth unified field theory through which we can attain and maintain our physical and mental health. From the food we eat to the stars of the galaxy, and from everyday consumer products to the lifestyle choices our hunter-gatherer ancestors made, the author takes an in-depth look at all aspects of our every-day lives and how they affect our health. While exploring the negative things we do to ourselves, the author also describes the naturally inherent positive and healing aspects of the human condition that are capable of keeping us perfectly healthy if we simply pay attention.Equal parts informative, uplifting, and disturbing, Health & Happiness is a field guide that can help the reader recognize and negotiate the modern Western culture's debilitating demands on our physiological condition in a healthy and sane way.
