Synopsis

In this illuminating collection of health and wellness advice, the co-founders of mindbodygreen challenge our definition of self-improvement by revealing what a healthy lifestyle looks like at the fundamental level.

It is assumed we all have the same amount of time, money, and resources. In this saturated landscape, how can you avoid the potential scams and dodge the doctors-turned-celebrities to find what really works for you?

Over the past decade, Colleen and Jason Wachob have cultivated a leading wellness lifestyle media brand for everyone seeking to cut through the noise and live a happier, healthier, and greener lifestyle. The Joy of Well-Being explores the spectrum of well-being, from how we breathe to how we love, including: Why sleep should be considered a vital sign Why you shouldn’t trick your body with food How to overcome the motivation problem and move more The importance of relationships for longevity . . . and so much more.

The Joy of Well-Being is more than a book, it’s a reawakening, marking a crucial shift away from the do-this-then-do-that paradigm, to cultivating a joyful lifestyle that centers each individual, and their own health and happiness.
