Overview

Want more out of life? Tired of being told that it's all downhill over 50? Does the thought of feeling good, sleeping well, and improving your sex life sound appealing? If so, brother, this book is for you-and the people who love you. Saving Men from Themselves is your guide to a lifestyle where you can achieve these goals with a fresh approach to health and happiness that rejects masculine stereotypes and builds motivation by leveraging your most important relationships. Simply put, a model that matches purpose with practice. Men can be their own worst enemy. Generation after generation of men in this nation carry forward a cultural mindset, often adopted by their fathers and handed down to their sons, that does more harm than good-a view of medical care as emasculating. Study after study shows that a healthy lifestyle can have a major impact on our health that includes longevity, reduced risk of disease and a positive impact on our cognitive skills. This is the call to action which prompted Bezich to pen Crack The Code and extend his message with Saving Men From Themselves. Using the lens of fifty-plus men he explored in his first book, Crack The Code, author Louis Bezich presents 20 evidence-based tactics complete with strategies to energize your relationships, develop healthy habits, and stay mentally sharp. And, to drive these points home, real-life stories accompany each tactic demonstrating how humanity and habits come together to create a sustainable lifestyle. Equally important, Bezich's model confronts the growing gap between life span and health span-the years we live in a state of good health, able to participate in all that life has to offer. While his tactics carry the strength to tackle a man's traditional resistance to healthy practices, his new approach can benefit men and women of all ages. Using evidence-based references, Bezich skillfully translates the science into easily digestible tactics that are easily adaptable for men and easily understood by those who may be supporting a man in his quest to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Unlike diet and exercise books that are largely focused on the physical science behind medicine, Bezich's approach starts with tactics he introduced in his first book centered on building motivation through a man's emotional relationships. Using social science, Bezich offers tactics for building the motivation that will generate discipline to stick with healthy practices. Toward this end, the book covers subjects like communications, support, and happiness that will give men critical insights into strengthening their relationships and ultimately producing the drive to live healthy. Balancing these motivational tactics, Bezich presents several approaches to enhance a man's physical and mental well-being that include diet and exercise but extend further to illustrate that a lifestyle is more than sweat and physical sacrifice. The importance of sleep, regular medical care, stress management, and brain care complete a well-rounded portfolio of practices. To fully equip men with the intelligence they'll need to confront the enemies of healthy behavior, Bezich supplements his tactics with insights from the front lines of behavior change. Examples including the science of post-traumatic growth and the importance of pivoting when life throws you a curve ball, deepen the context for his tactics. And, with a reference to the power of social contagion, Bezich offers an inspirational look at the collective power of men and our nation, to create a culture of health and happiness. Saving Men gives readers the tools to transform their lives physically, mentally, socially and emotionally. It's as much about fulfillment and purpose as it is about diet, exercise and healthy practices. A winning combination of tactics that is long overdue, but an approach that may just be what men, and the people who love them, need to get the most out of life.
