The Ten Rules of High Performance Living

Book by Meltzer, Barnet

This book presents a 10-point formula for health and fitness of "mind, body, heart, and soul." High Performance Living is more than just the absence of disease; it is functioning at your highest potential, with a balance of "health, happiness, and success," explains the author, a physician specializing in preventive medicine and clinical nutrition. The book is a manual for incorporating each step toward wellness in turn. For example, Rule 1, Simplify Your Life, is a process of recognizing what has the greatest value to you, and ridding yourself of clutter and confusion. Rule 5, Cleanse Your Body Regularly, explains how to clear your system of toxins with a cleansing diet of predominantly raw, fresh vegetables and fruits. Rule 7, Develop the Habit of Physical Fitness, offers sample multiweek, progressive exercise programs. Other rules cover nutrition, meditation, relaxation, happiness, defining your purpose, controlling your life, and balancing your lifestyle.

The Ten Rules of High Performance Living is a process-oriented, interactive book with worksheets, self-tests, and exercises that take you through each step. The goal is to design an optimal lifestyle that brings you health, happiness, balance, fulfillment, and self-reliance. --Joan Price
