CHOOSING WELLNESS is a powerful testament for Americans grappling with weight loss, stress, anxiety, addiction, chronic illness, or unhealthy lifestyles. With light humor and deep sincerity, it combines scientific expertise with insights from traditional healthcare, complementary medicine, and personal experience.

Through personal and client stories, it provides explicit self-assessments and techniques to uncover false beliefs (Root Pulling vs. Weed Whacking), edit personal relationships (the Suburban Driveway), manage burnout (Repotting), maintain self-image (Wolf Feeding), and effectively raise teenagers (Connection Before Correction). Additionally, it teaches readers to control their emotional responses (The 10-Second Pause), identify harmful individuals (Emotional Triage), and calm emotional outbursts in others (Feelings over Facts). This guide is an essential resource for anyone seeking to improve their well-being and navigate life's challenges with resilience and clarity.
