The New Normal: A Roadmap to Resilience in the Pandemic Era

By Jennifer Ashton, M.D. and Jennifer Ashton

Book Overview

From Dr. Jennifer Ashton--the Chief
Medical Correspondent at ABC News covering breaking medical news for Good
Morning America and GMA3: What You Need to Know--comes a doctor's
guide to finding resilience in the time of COVID, while staying safe and sane
in a rapidly changing world.

In March 2020, "normal" life changed, perhaps
forever. In its place we were confronted with life and routines that were
unusual and different: the new normal.
As we've all learned since then, the new normal isn't just about wearing
masks and standing six feet apart--it's about recognizing how to stay safe and
sane in a world that is suddenly unfamiliar. And no one understands this
evolving landscape better than Dr. Jennifer Ashton. As ABC's Chief Medical
Correspondent, Dr. Ashton has been reporting on the novel coronavirus daily,
helping Americans comprehend the urgent medical updates that have shaped the
nation's continued response to this public health crisis.

Now in The New Normal, Dr. Ashton
offers the essential toolkit for life in this unfamiliar reality. Rooted in her reporting on COVID-19 and the
understanding that the virus isn't going anywhere overnight, The New Normal
is built on a simple foundation: thriving in this evolving world demands
accepting the new normal for what it is, not what we want it to be. No longer
is wellness a buzzword, but an imperative for surviving this unprecedented
time. Using her trademark practical, easy-to-follow advice, Dr. Ashton
gives you all the necessary information to reclaim control of your life and
live safely--from exercise, to diet, to
general health--showing how to prepare your body and mind for challenges such
as:

- Taking proper medical precautions to
protect yourself and your loved ones

- Exercising during the pandemic, even if you
no longer feel safe at the gym

- Finding emotional balance through these
uncertain times

- Deciphering complicated medical news to
learn what to trust and what to ignore

With these straightforward and accessible
strategies and many more, Dr. Ashton helps empower you to make the
unexpectedly hard decisions about socializing, food-shopping, seeing doctors,
and most of all, finding normalcy. At once reassuring and urgent, The New
Normal is a holistic roadmap through the ongoing struggles of the
pandemic, providing the guidance you need to navigate this unsettling time and
take charge of your future wellbeing.
