Thriving: The Complete Mind-Body Guide for Optimal Health and Fitness for Men Book

Dr. Robert Ivker was a very successful family-practice physician who, at 40, decided to go a different direction in his life. He developed his philosophy of Thriving--which says that there's a difference between being functionally capable and really being physically and emotionally sound--while finding a holistic solution to his chronic sinusitis. The first half of this book combines a lot of ideas, from accepted precepts about physical fitness and mind-body interactions to somewhat less proven nutritional suggestions to Eastern medicine, tossed into a vast self-improvement stew for men.
