PRODUCT INFORMATION

Description

Your health isn't just your problem, it's everyone'sHave you ever questioned why, despite the avalanche of self-help books and optimization hacks, we remain embroiled in multiple global health crises? Populations worldwide are gaining life-shortening excess weight (even in poorer countries), and water contamination is rampant (even in richer countries). In such dire circumstances, a gratitude journal won't help.The stark reality is that we've been sold a monumental lie. The obsession with individual health optimization has distracted us from the real game-changer- holding governments accountable for policies that can significantly extend our lifespans. How Not to Die (Too Soon) is a vital, transformative guide that shifts the focus from individual responsibility to societal accountability. It's time to demand the changes that will save lives.
