Choosing Wellness (2021)

Unconventional Wisdom for the Overwhelmed, the Discouraged, the Addicted, the Fearful, or the Stuck.

Forward by Dr. Loretta Ford, the founder of the global Nurse Practitioner phenomenon.

Choosing Wellness is a series of deeply personal essays on how Eileen and others eventually came to a moment of truth in their lives. The stories are specific but the meaning and the message applies universally. Choosing Wellness speaks directly to our high-stress, self-neglect, fast-food society. Health care systems do not—and cannot –prevent us from slowly killing ourselves. Only when we intentionally move toward wellness, one choice at a time, can we increase our healthspan and our lifespan.
