Reviews

'The medical establishment has finally reached an epiphany: the key to the prevention and management of chronic illness is behavioral change. Yet a clear understanding of how to promote behavior change has remained elusive. Laura Richman's Relational Health will shift attention away from failed dependence on will power to evidence-based methods of harnessing interpersonal relationships to combat epidemics of obesity, opioid use, and depression. This beautifully written, compelling, science-based book is a must read for health care providers, students, and community leaders.' Robert M. Kaplan, Stanford University
