Beschreibung

Healthy habits are the worst. Blending humour and irreverence with the science of behavior change, a health psychologist and runner who's never experienced a "runner's high" offers practical, counterintuitive strategies and a playful approach to help readers live a healthier life-even if they really want to just sit on the couch and eat ice cream.

Autor

Dayna Lee-Baggley, PhD, exercises regularly and rarely enjoys it. She is a regular runner who competes in 10K races and never gets a runner's high. She drinks green smoothies and hates vegetables. Every time her kid asks her to go do some physical activity (biking, swimming, etc.) she thinks "crap, I don't want to do that" and she does it anyway. Dayna is also a health psychologist and registered clinical psychologist. She holds positions as a clinical health psychologist at the Nova Scotia Health Authority for the Multi Organ Transplant Program; as core faculty member of the Behaviour Change Institute, which trains healthcare providers in behaviour change skills for chronic disease management and was lead psychologist for Partners for Healthier Weight, an obesity management clinic. She is president of the Atlantic Chapter of the Association for Contextual Behavioural Science (ACBS) and vice chair of the Halifax Chapter of the Canadian Obesity Network. Her areas of expertise include facilitating health behaviour change, managing and treating obesity, adapting to chronic health conditions and professional resiliency/burnout prevention in health care providers.
