on Purpose explores the incredible connection
between purposeful living and the latest scientific evidence on
quality of life and longevity. Drawing on ancient and modern
philosophy, literature, psychology, evolutionary biology, genetics,
and neuroscience, as well as his experience in public-health
research, Dr. Vic Strecher reveals the elements necessary for a
purposeful life and how to acquire them and outlines an elegant
strategy for improving energy, willpower, long-term happiness, and
well-being. He integrates these core themes into his own personal
story -- a tragedy that led him to reconsider his own life -- and
how a deeper understanding of purposeful living helped him not only
survive but thrive.
