An authoritative, practical, and entertaining guide to healthy living from one of America’s leading health experts.Every day brings a torrent of articles, videos, and podcasts about health and longevity. The “Wellness Industrial Complex” offers conflicting advice and promises us more time to enjoy in the future—but it sure is demanding a lot of time right now.

Dr. Emanuel cuts through the noise with wit and good humor, giving readers just what they need: simple, high–impact, evidence–based guidelines to issues such as food and drink, exercise, sleep, mental acuity, and social engagement.
