MD, Allan Mishra

Hello Amazon Readers:

I am delighted to publish a second edition of Dare To Be Vital. This book has served as the required text for the ENERGIZE Your Life course I teach through Stanford Continuing Studies.

The purpose of the book is to enhance your vitality. It is based on my teaching and my experience leading vitality discussions at Stanford University, the University of Cambridge, the University of Michigan, Apple, Google and many others. Nine lessons are embedded in the book along with 17 exercises. The lessons and exercises are scientifically designed based on peer reviewed published information and my more than 25 years as a board certified orthopedic surgeon.

I grew up in Michigan and was born in Minneapolis, Minnesota. I hold BS and MD degrees from the University of Michigan and finished my medical training with a Sports Medicine Fellowship at Stanford. I've been a practicing board-certified orthopedic surgeon for more than 20 years. I have been also researching how to best use platelet-rich plasma (PRP) to help patients for more than 10 years. I live with my family and work in Silicon Valley.

The book is also part of the VitalityExplorers.com movement.

The movement has a singular focus: Enhance Global Vitality, One Person at a Time.
