Think Eat Move Thrive: The Practice for an Awesome Life

"When we thrive and care for ourselves with love, we become a powerful source for social activism": that's the premise upon which naturopathic doctors and husband-and-wife team Rouse and Rouse base this holistic lifestyle guide. Developed to combat what the authors call an "epidemic of unhappiness, unhealthiness, and underliving," this daily program encompasses three interacting sections: Think, which looks at the power of positive thought patterns and their tremendous impact on every aspect of our lives; Eat, a treatise on mindful, healthy consumption; and Move, a primer extolling the virtues of consistent physical activity. Action steps, self-care and awareness exercises, and QR codes that link to further topics and discussions%E2%80%94such as boosting dopamine naturally through diet and finding the best time to get moving%E2%80%94are found in each of the sections. Readers will be fully prepped for the 30-day plan that follows%E2%80%94with exercise and meal plans, recipes, daily affirmations, and gratitude journaling. Rouse and Rouse's advice is supported by meticulously cited studies, and their exuberance is charming, rather than zealous. This self-improvement/diet hybrid will appeal to a wide audience. (Sept.)
