This is by far my favorite time of year. It’s the perfect opportunity to come up with all of the ways in which I am going to change my life for the better in the coming year [whether they are accomplished is a completely different story]. Like many of you, the resolutions that I think of revolve around the issue of health and personal wellness. And hey, what do you know? That’s what this week’s featured title is all about.<\/p>\n

Metzel and Kirkland, professors at the University of Michigan, have assembled a compilation of essays delving into the topic of health. Rather than examining the trials and tribulations endured to live a ‘healthy’ life, the chapters focus on the sociological and economic factors that propel individuals to eat right, exercise and take their daily vitamins. Divided into sections, the contributors look the issue as a cultural phenomenon, viewing it through the lens of morality. This book certainly brings a different perspective to the debate surrounding the definition of health and what it means to you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
