What does health really mean? The physician and renowned medical journalist Christoph Specht impressively demonstrates why health cannot be prescribed, but can be shaped by oneself. He dispels common health myths and opens up a new perspective on what truly makes us healthy - beyond pills, check-ups and therapies. Drawing on personal experience, medical expertise, and insights from longevity research and salutogenesis, he makes it clear: health begins within ourselves. In his analysis, he also examines our healthcare system, which is reaching its limits: overburdened, expensive, and demographically stretched to its breaking point. This makes it all the more clear how important a holistic, personal approach to health is. A book that awakens, motivates, gives courage and provides impetus - for a healthy, long life with meaning, attitude and self-determination. New product
