"Dr. Gladys McGarey, cofounder of the American Holistic Medical Association, began her medical practice at a time when women couldn’t even own their own bank accounts. Over the past sixty years, she has pioneered a new way of thinking about disease and health that has transformed the way we imagine health care and self-care around the world. On these pages, Dr. McGarey shares her six actionable secrets to enjoying lives that are long, happy, and purpose-driven: Spend your energy wildly: How to embrace your life fully and feel motivated every day. All life needs to move: How to move—spiritually, mentally, and physically—to help let go of trauma and other roadblocks. You are here for a reason: How to find the everyday 'juice' that helps you stay oriented in your life’s purpose. You are never alone: How to build a community that’s meaningful to you. Everything is your teacher: Discover the deep learnings that come from pain and setbacks. Love is the most powerful medicine: Learn to love yourself—and others—into healing. In a voice that is both practical and inspiring, Dr. McGarey shares her own extraordinary stories and eternal wisdom—from her early childhood in India and a chance encounter with Mahatma Gandhi to her life as a physician and a mother of six, to her survival of both heartbreak and illness. And she doesn’t just look backwards, she looks forward. At over a hundred years old, Dr. McGarey has an inspiring plan for a healthier and more joyful future for all." --publisher's website.
