Lifestyle Medicine from the Inside Out

Using Positive Psychology in Healthy Lifestyles for Positive Health

Beschreibung

Lifestyle Medicine From the Inside Out: Using Positive Psychology in Healthy Lifestyles for Positive Health summarizes the principles, science, and practice of how positive psychology can be integrated into lifestyle medicine for positive health in health care and self-care. This integration builds physical health and well-being, buffers against adversity, and promotes personal growth after traumatic experiences. By intertwining healthy habits and positive psychology-based activities, including personal strengths and what is meaningful to each person, individuals can truly thrive. Such an approach is what the authors refer to as practicing "lifestyle medicine from the inside out."

Co-authored by the lead developer of the original lifestyle medicine competencies, this book suggests positive health expansions for each competency, outlines specific questions that drive personal reflection for change and positive clinical interactions, and describes the step-by-step approach in case studies. Such innovative clinical practice that connects with what matters most to individuals is foundational to care.

In a rapidly changing and increasingly challenging world, health professionals in a wide variety of roles practicing in lifestyle medicine, primary care, and across medical specialties, patients, and all individuals can benefit from the insights and practical tips outlined in this book to achieve and maintain flourishing.

'Lifestyle medicine is the most exciting and important field in medicine today. Lifestyle Medicine From the Inside Out is an extraordinary book that shows us why and how to optimize it with positive psychology. Highly recommended'.

'As I've matured in my practice of primary care using a lifestyle medicine foundation, it's become more and more clear to me that if I don't start with a deep and clear knowledge of each patient, approaching them from a wholistic perspective, and understanding their deep desires and sources of joy and happiness, then I can't be successful in influencing their lives. Liana Lianov has been instrumental in my journey towards providing the best of care and self-care to my patients. Now her wisdom, insights and vision are succinctly shared with us all in Lifestyle Medicine From the Inside Out. This book provides tools and resources, but perhaps more importantly it shares perspective, and that's something each of us needs in our lifestyle medicine journey. Yes, we are reversing disease, but more importantly, we're healing whole people'.

--Wayne S. Dysinger, MD, MPH, Physician and Founder, Lifestyle Medical
