review: Editorial Reviews From the Author Hello Amazon Readers: My book: "Dare To Be Vital: Vitality Essentials Course Book" was written with one goal in mind. That goal is to enhance the vitality of every reader. The central thesis is: Vitality is a skill you can learn. The book is scientifically designed to help improve your physical, mental, social and spiritual well-being. This book is the recommended text for my Stanford Vitality students but I believe it could be meaningful for anyone in search of specific actionable ways to improve their lives. From the Inside Flap Why do certain people seem so vital and vibrant? In a world where many of us feel burdened by stress, pressure, and competing demands, a lucky few seem to radiate with joy, purpose, warmth, and vitality. Its main message is: vitality is a skill that can be learned. This message is supported by elite scientific data, engaging stories and personal experiences from a board certified orthopedic surgeon and world-renowned biologic researcher. The information presented in the Vitality Essentials Course Book is the result of Dr. Mishra focusing his decades of experience as a physician into a coherent manual for living your best possible life. The book also functions as the study guide for the Vitality Essentials course he teaches at Stanford. Dr. Mishra draws from research in biology, medicine, psychology, sociology, and elsewhere to understand how our minds, bodies, spirituality, and relationships can work in interconnected ways to enhance or deplete our overall state of well-being. From the Back Cover Dr. Mishra draws from research in biology, medicine, psychology, sociology, and elsewhere to understand how our minds, bodies, spirituality, and relationships can work in interconnected ways to enhance or deplete our overall state of well-being. He outlines nine specific lessons and 15 exercises scientifically designed to support a framework for optimizing physical and mental health that could be applicable to anyone. The framework relies on four pillars of vitality: physical, mental, social, and spiritual. Readers will inventory their strengths and weaknesses in each pillar, and identify how their current habits and routines may contribute to, or take away from, achieving the right balance. Along the way, readers will consider how variables like time management, a clear sense of purpose, and service to others can also contribute to the equation. Readers will come away with a personalized action plan to enhance each element of vitality in their own lives.
