The well-lived life : a 102-year-old doctor's six secrets to health and happiness at every age / Gladys McGarey, MD ; [with a foreword by Mark Human, MD].

McGarey, Gladys, 1920- (author.). Hyman, Mark, 1959- (writer of foreword.).

Summary:
"Dr. Gladys McGarey, a centenarian still-practicing doctor and the mother of holistic medicine, reveals her powerful and life-changing secrets for how to live with joy, vitality, and purpose at any age. On these pages, Dr. McGarey shares her six actionable secrets to enjoying lives that are long, happy, and purpose-driven. She talks about how to embrace your life fully and feel motivated every day; how to move--spiritually, mentally, and physically--to help let go of trauma and other roadblocks; how to find the everyday "juice" that helps you stay oriented in your life's purpose; how to build a community that's meaningful to you; how to discover the deep learnings that come from pain and setbacks; and how to learn to love yourself--and others--into healing. In a voice that is both practical and inspiring, Dr. McGarey shares her own extraordinary stories and eternal wisdom--from her early childhood in India and a chance encounter with Mahatma Gandhi to her life as a physician and a mother of six, to her survival of both heartbreak and illness. And she doesn't just look backwards, she looks forward. At over a hundred years old, Dr. McGarey has an inspiring plan for a healthier and more joyful future for all"-- Provided by publisher.
