Take Control of Your Life, Decrease your Stress and Pain, Improve Sleep and Cognition. This book teaches the skills you need to be in control of your pain, sleep, stress, function, and balance, as well as techniques to keep your brain young. "More Skills, Fewer Pills" is a treasure of little known, yet highly, valued health treatment that are a delightful marriage of Eastern spiritual disciplines with Western scientific medicine. As a practicing physical therapist for 48 years, I have focused on treating and educating patients on their self-care and wellness. I wish I had this book to give to every patient and colleague. Instead of people buying 20 self-help books, they can read this one as a summary of information. Ms. Carver has compiled the "pearls" of years of lectures, research articles, peer-reviewed manuscripts, and books into a simple, concise book encompassing the best of eastern and western health knowledge, covering all parts of the body. Following the stretching, exercises, relaxation, diet, and breathing techniques will improve your quality of life. We all have the power to do this, and this book clearly explains the tools. Every pre-operative person should read this book for controlling post-operative pain to help prevent the huge opioid problem in the United States today. This book should be mandatory reading for all wishing to stay as active, balanced, and healthy as possible for, as long as possible and is a perfect gift for all our loved ones. I recommend all health care and wellness providers reference this book to their clients
