Biographical Note: Review Quotes: "The Young Person's Guide to Health and Wellness is for smart, ambitious teenagers who want to live up to their physical, intellectual, and psychological potential -- now and into the future. Those of us past our formative years will wish we'd had it (its mind/body approach is astute and perfectly integrated)! Its advice is designed to stay with readers, even as they grow and adapt to new challenges. It's practical, candid, and unflinching, addressing real-life topics that gauzier books just ignore. Readers will feel that the Guide is talking to them, anticipating their concerns, helping them to act responsibly towards themselves and in the world. I have never seen topics as varied as nutrition, empathy, STDs, and choice-making discussed so effectively in one compact volume. Teenagers, as well as their teachers, parents, and health-care providers should read this book."-Heather Berlin, Ph.D., Mount Sinai Health System "Dr. Friedberg's Young Person's Guide offers so much sane, sound advice that it should be a primary reference for any teenager navigating their life's journey. I will enthusiastically recommend it to all my younger patients. In particular, I like the Guide's emphasis on developing good habits that last a lifetime, since (as I tell all my patients) staying well is just as important as getting well."-Albert Levy, M.D., Director, Manhattan Family Practice "The Young Person's Guide is full of practical wisdom, showing young people how to set their sails towards optimal physical, mental, and emotional wellbeing. It will help them take stock of their current health and wellness, and design a strategy to work on each domain of wellness over time. Its approach is nonjudgmental, and it reminds readers that they don't need to tackle every domain of health and wellness at once. Rather, it helps readers identify those areas to focus on right now. From good nutrition to healthy habits, from self-reflection to building sound relationships, the Guide encapsulates much of what I practice in my own life, and offer my patients in my Integrative Medicine practice."-Zachary Mulvihill, M.D., Integrative Medicine, Weill Cornell Medicine "As an educator and a parent, I am confident that this Guide will not only engage readers, but become a lasting part of their journey to health and wellness. Its accessible and practical approach encourages readers to explore key areas such as healthy eating, building meaningful relationships, and fostering a sense of community. The ten tenets at the heart of this book serve as a roadmap for young people to set goals, improve their physical and emotional well-being, and navigate the challenges of making lasting change. As they face obstacles, this guide will be a trusted resource they can return to time and again to lead healthier and more fulfilling lives."-Simon Owen-Williams, Educational Leader Publisher Marketing: A practical guide setting young people on a path to greater wellbeing The Young Person's Guide to Health and Wellness grew out of Dr. Friedberg's hands-on role in creating a holistic health, wellness, and athletic program at the Portledge School in Locust Valley, N.Y. Under his continued guidance, the program helps students pursue the best version of themselves in every dimension of their lives. It enables them to develop strong habits that will anchor them as they grow towards maturity. The program is based on ten principles:
The Young Person's Guide to Health and Wellness elaborates on these tenets, demonstrating how young people can apply them in their own lives. "What is 'good' nutrition for someone with my body type and energy expenditure?" "How do I build community in my neighborhood?" The Guide is designed so that young people can approach the tenets through reading and reflection, augmented by discussion in classrooms or team meetings. Each chapter, explaining a particular tenet, will include questions for reflection and discussion. Ultimately, the Guide encourages young people not to leave health and wellness to luck or chance, but to take responsibility for their psychological and physical wellbeing. By developing an awareness of health and wellness, and making it the basis of sound habits, young people can better prepare for whatever comes next. |
