Creating Health: Principles, Practice & Philosophy

This book demonstrates that Western cultures have no sound definition of health and investment in medicine can never create it. Until we understand the nature of health, it will always be elusive - not only for individuals, but for communities and cultures as well. Creating Health gives the first philosophically sound, achieveable, definition of health. It explains how universal health may be created; that health may be achieved by everyone; and that every area of life can be improved when we understand health. This book is intended for everyone who is interested in understanding how health may be achieved, either for personal benefit, in pursuit of professional objectives, or in the context of social or political action.
