This book is designed to help you win in the Game of Health(R). You have tremendous power on how well and how long you live. You set yourself up for success or failure through your choices. The challenge? You "feel fine" long before you know you are ill with the top killers in America today, so waiting until you feel bad is often too late. You must choose to embrace continual change and growth when there are no warning signs that something is amiss.
This book is divided into five sections, each represented by a portion of a baseball diamond. The "Awareness" section is the dugout, where many people hang out because that's where they're comfortable. When a significant health event wakes them up, they get up to bat so they can start being more proactive. At first base, they start to have an "Understanding" of their body and how health really works. At second base, they realize they have a "Response-ability" to themselves to keep growing and changing. At third base, they realize they need to have "Accountability" in their lives, which involves surrounding themselves with the right kind of people. They finally make it to home base, where they "Share and Celebrate" their success with others.
