7Introducing a radical approach to wellness: This self-help guide rejects 'one-size-fits-all' dieting and health advice to offer practical strategies and tools for getting healthy--your way.

What kind of society makes being healthy and happy so difficult that only a single-digit percentage of the population can hope to pull it off? The answer: A sick society.

And within a sick society--one where illness, anxiety, and depression are the prevailing norms--what does it mean to be one of the few people to beat those unhealthy odds? It means bucking a lot of your society's norms and rejecting a lot of its conventional health prescriptions. It also means acknowledging a disturbing truth: If you aren't breaking the rules, you're probably breaking yourself. That's the simple, provocative philosophy behind The Healthy Deviant, one seasoned health journalist's quest to reframe healthy choices as a positive form of social rebellion.

Combining hand-drawn infographics and statistics with insights from sociology, psychology, evolutionary biology, functional medicine, and the school of hard knocks, this category-defying book rejects the idea that diet and exercise alone can save us--or are even the best places to start. Gerasimo's 14-day Healthy-Deviant Adventure Program presents a series of powerful perspective shifts and simple daily practices--plus illustrations, infographics, worksheets, reminders, and progress tracking tools--that put you firmly back in charge of your own wellbeing.

Part manifesto, part whispered wake-up call, The Healthy Deviant is a modern-day survival guide for being a healthy person in an unhealthy world. Starting now.
