Use Sun Tzu's timeless strategies to battle illness and promote health and wellness!

This innovative guide applies the ancient wisdom of Sun Tzu's The Art of War to personal health and wellness. Y. Tony Yang, a public health and policy expert, transforms the general's five pillars into specific battle plans centered on nutrition, exercise, self-care, work-life balance and prevention.
We all know to eat well and exercise, but our forces need to be built up in more definable and actionable ways. Reduce inflammatory markers? Improve sleep efficiency? Increase stress resilience? That's the start of a customised health-centered battle plan, all supported by:

• Case studies laying out specific regimens: stability training, strength exercises and cardiovascular options
• Charts presenting each chapter's key points and posing essential questions for formulating your battle plan
• Personal risk factor assessments and adaptable nutrition programs offering models to integrate

'The five factors are not separate matters,' Sun Tzu wrote. 'The wise general sees them as a single integrated reality.' Wise generals never go to war with their own bodies but defend instead their most valuable territory, the body and its sustained health success.
