Being Well is a self-help guide for those with chronic illnesses looking to find a better path to wellness. More than 40% of the US population are affected by chronic diseases. Being Well is a guide book for every single one of those people suffering with chronic illness looking to live full lives characterized by joy, resilience, and wellness. Meeting by chance after their Parkinson' s diagnosis, the authors quickly realized a new way to deal with their neurodegenerative conditions. Being Well introduces the simple, but powerful concept of the Wellness Spiral, an actionable pathway anyone can follow to turn bad life events to opportunities for growth and wellness. This book is for anyone who is at a crossroads and wants to find ways to build resilience.
