There are many books on improving health, and many on how to
improve your life - but there are not many that include both. This book
does. And every so often, perhaps once a generation, a book emerges
that clearly stands above the rest. 'Saving your life, one day at a time' is
one such book.
Dr Sugarman offers seven processes for survival in the modern
world. Each is supported with the most up-to-date research that has
been packed in one book. When small changes in each of these seven
incremental life areas are adopted, with little effort you are guaranteed
big improvements in how you feel, think and live. ''Saving your life, one
day at a time' is a powerfully motivating workbook that helps you cope
better with modern life, starting NOW!
" If the concept of beginning to 'rot' from the inside out doesn't
motivate you to take on the challenge of living a fuller life, nothing
will! Dr Sugarman delightfully blends humor, frankness and positive
motivation to get you off that chair and fully living the life you were
meant to live. With Dr Sugarman's coaching, you'll immediately
understand the crisis while feeling fully empowered to reach the
imperative of a healthier life now and into the future! Genius stuff!"

"Roy Sugarman hits the nail on the head with the Western lifestyle issues
that are rotting us away. The take home message is that YOU hold
the power for change on multiple levels. You have to read this book.
Better yet, read it while standing up and moving about. Let's wrestle
back control of our health from the environment. What say you?"
Ryan Crandall,
Movement Specialist at Fitness and Yoga Integration, New Mexico
" Dr Sugarman's brilliance is in the conversion of Applied Science into
a totally practical, comprehensible approach for the everyday reader.
He effectively solves life challenges for us with amazing clarity."
Ian O'Dwyer,
Functional Movement Expert and co-founder, PTA Global
" It was with great enthusiasm that I read Dr Sugarman's new book.
Roy's ability to create a "how to" for healthy modern living is immense.
Making complex and involved topics easy to understand and apply is a
skill that so few do well, and he has done that. Combining the science
of vitality for body and brain, with a sure-fire recipe for achieving and
maintaining it, separates this book from other authors that have tried
this unsuccessfully. A fantastic read and a must for all ages."
