Wellness!: A Guide to Living Your Best Life

What does it actually take to be well, not just free of disease? Drawing on nearly forty years as a psychiatrist and on the research he gathered as editor of The Handbook of Wellness Medicine(2020), Dr. Waguih William IsHak walks through the eight dimensions of wellness and shows what the evidence supports in each: which diets have real trial data behind them, why strength training works past ninety, what mindfulness and yoga can and cannot do, how much sleep protects you, why one trusted friend matters more than a hundred acquaintances, and how work, love, and play shape how long and how well you live. Every chapter ends with key takeaways, a "try this week" list, and full references. The book closes with a self-assessment and four ready-to-adapt personalized wellness plans, for a busy parent, an active retiree, a young professional on a budget, and you. No hype. No single miracle diet. Just the evidence, and a plan you can live with.

Drawing from groundbreaking studies, this book emphasizes the importance of holistic health practices, revealing how simple lifestyle changes can significantly enhance your happiness and longevity.
