I've found this book to be an excellent holistic approach to health: Not something we typically expect from an M.D. researcher. The book is written for the lay public in an easy-to-follow format. The author is a health researcher who uses examples from his own and others' research, along with patient examples to show how we can apply this information to our lives. He covers five main health areas: Physical, Intellectual, Emotional, Relational, and Spiritual. Each section is covered in detail with the goal that true health is achieved only when we find an equilibrium among these five areas. The book provides plenty of information (and affirmation) for people who are already health conscious and the author's encouragement toward better health makes it easy to identify and work on areas of our lives that need an overhaul.
Cheers for a Physician With the Whole Picture

In our constant search for the fountain of youth, it is refreshing to have the medical research to support my theory that aging and attitude are connected. I have sent this book to 20 friends with the message "For 2000, I hope this book encourages us to tell a friend we appreciate them, seek new challenges and create the discipline to discard bad habits and bad attitudes.

One of the best common sense books on aging
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
This is an extremely well written book that provides considerable practical and easy to follow information regarding how to optimize ones chances of maintaining a high quality of health as they age. The format is easy to follow and the summary of guidelines at the end of each chapter enhances the ability to understand how to modify ones behavior. The whimsical personal comments make reading easy as it is done at a conversational level. The way the book is written it is apparent that Dr. Malarkey must be an outstanding teacher. Having read other books on the same subject I can recommend this as the best written and one that makes the most sense. Dr. Malarkey deserves to be thanked for his outstanding contribution.
