When I was a kid I used to wonder why various flying insects
found the porch light so irresistible they died there. Later I realized it must
have something to do with the light over stimulating some survival instinct,
which then paradoxically caused their death. Still later I realized it has something
to do with technology exceeding the innate instinct envelope of the little
critters, having evolved pre-tech. Good thing we're smarter than bugs!
Or are we? (you knew I was going to say that:) Yep, it's a health blog, so of course I'm
going to talk about diet and exercise -- but not this time. I'm going to show
you a little big book that explains in the clearest most concise terms possible
why it can be so difficult in this day and age for us to be the lean energetic
people we would prefer to be.
Not only is it a compelling read, it may well be the most
illuminating book about the "human condition" I personally have ever
read. It's a grand exposition on who we are, where we came from, and how we came
to this dilemma point with health and well being. It shows us the problems we
face in technological society with creating and maintaining health, and gives
us the most sensible reality based methods of becoming and being well I have
ever come across.
I can't recommend it highly enough.
