Medically sound advice for mind, body and spirit!
As one who normally avoids "self-help" books, the title amused me enough to pick this book up from the sale bin - despite not being a business-jock. Expecting yet another business adaptation of Sun Tzu's "The Art of War" or Musashi's "The Book of Five Rings" I was relieved to find a wealth of useful information on all aspects of health (mind, body & spirit). And best of all, from a medical doctor (not some self-styled health guru with the latest fad). This has become my "bible" of the best medically sound advice to (getting &) staying fit, healthy and sane. It's all here : human psysiology and how nutrition works, fitness advice: from hotel circuits to yoga and stress-coping techniques(effective worrying!).
Armed with this knowledge about yourself, the next medical check-up you go for should be the most cost-effective you've ever had!

We all make choices and following his advice was the best thing I have ever done. Juliet Mcgannon is a jewel herself with her knowledge on excersize and fitness. RH

The book that really will change your life!
If you are a typical busy executive (or non-executive and travelling more than a couple of times a month, this is a must.
Dr McGannon uses the story of how one executive manages to survive a heart attack on a business trip in the far east to tell in an engaging and humorous way how you can improve your fitness and physical stamina without missing out on the fun side of life. He shows how you can change your diet to be more healthy and still manage to attend all of those important business dinners. He shows how you do not have to travel with a huge exercise kit if you want to keep fit on the road. (Actually the average hotel room has all you need and it does not take a lot of time.) Most importantly he shows how all of these can be integrated into a good lifestyle which does not prevent you from following that punishing schedule that you have to keep. After reading it I lost over 10Kg, significantly lowered my blood pressure and improved my fitness. I have bought lots of copies of this for the folks that I work with. Inturn, they have all bought copies for their own staff.
