LIVING THE GOOD LIFE
Simple Principles for Strength, Balance, and Inner Beauty
SYNOPSIS
In a stressful, driven age of fad diets, guilt-inducing exercise regimens, and narrow ideals of beauty, Living the Good Life breathes fresh air into every woman's hopes and dreams of a better, healthier, and more joyful life. Author and wellness professional, Ruth McGinnis' three-pronged approach to healthy living is simple: (1) integrate the whole person by addressing the complex physical, emotional and spiritual issues that inevitably accompany the life change process; (2) identify the challenge of our turbulent times (particularly hard on women as they juggle careers, home-keeping and care-giving in a demanding culture); and (3) focus on the power of positive choices made daily, that profoundly affect health and well-being.
Fueled in part by a personal struggle with bulimia and crisis of faith experienced during her twenties, Ruth's message is an antidote for the quick fix, appearance-based fitness regimens so highly touted by popular culture. Instead, she presents honest, practical steps toward improved fitness and nutrition; balance between work, service, rest and play, and advocates greater investment in relationships and spirituality.
Women looking for a new approach to total well-being will be encouraged to live healthier, more abundant lives through the delightful stories, anecdotes, and realistic ideas in Living the Good Life. Ruth's message of simplicity and grace, in physical, emotional and spiritual life has transformed her readers, workshop participants and clients—including Amy Grant, who writes in the foreword to this book: “The integrity of Ruth's approach to health and fitness has stood the test of time for me, and the journey continues to be worth every step.”
