Description: "Starting on a shoestring, in the middle of the Arizona desert, Mel and Enid Zuckerman transformed a rundown dude ranch into the international gold standard for the spa and wellness industry. They had no experience, very little cash, but they shared an unshakable faith in their vision. Today, Canyon Ranch is the model all others strive to copy. It all began with one man, 50 years old, overwrought, overweight and restless, who went to a fat farm to lose a little weight. There, he had an A-ha! moment, that transformed his life and, in the process, he launched a wellness revolution. Mel Zuckerman's personal story of the founding of Canyon Ranch will be an inspiration to all who wonder if there is still time to invent a happier, healthier life." --P. [4] of book jacket.
