How's it going? No, more directly, how are you doing and how are you feeling? This is important to me and selfishly, I care about my own health and that of my friends and family. However, I do also care about your health because you are my neighbor, my fellow American or at a minimum, a cohabitant of planet earth.
We're at the half-way point of 2012 and probably at a good point to look back on what you've done to better yourself while knowing there's still plenty of time to look ahead and take steps to improve your health. At the library a few weeks back, I came across NY Times bestselling author A.J. Jacobs' new book Drop Dead Healthy and after perusing the Intro and Table of Contents, I could not put it down. As the book's sub-title "One Man's Quest for Bodily Perfection" suggests, Jacobs was not just trying to make a few changes to get healthier but instead to achieve "maximal health from head to toe."
As both a project manager and triathlete, page five of the Prologue had me hooked with the following paragraph: " ...this book isn't my first foray into radical self-improvement. Over the last decade, I've had a bit of a fixation. Studies show it's healthy to have a purpose in life, and mine has been a relentless, well-intentioned if often misguided quest for perfection. Project Health will be the third leg of a triathlon devoted to upgrading my mind, my spirit, and my body." Hey A.J., I'm in for the ride.
