The Well-Lived Life

A 102-Year-Old Doctor's Six Secrets to Health and Happiness at Every Age

De: Gladys McGarey MD, Dr. Mark Hyman - foreword

Narrado por: Elizabeth Wiley, Gladys McGarey MD

Dr. Gladys McGarey, the centenarian mother of holistic medicine, reveals “a story that teaches as much as it inspires” (Edith Eger, New York Times bestselling author), filled with life-changing secrets for how to live with joy, vitality, and purpose at any age.

Dr. Gladys McGarey, cofounder of the American Holistic Medical Association, began her medical practice at a time when women couldn’t even have their own bank accounts. Over the past sixty years, she has pioneered a new way of thinking about disease and health that has transformed the way we imagine health care and self-care around the world.

Here, Dr. McGarey shares her six actionable secrets to enjoying lives that are long, happy, and purpose-driven:

-Spend your energy wildly: How to embrace your life fully and feel motivated every day.

-All life needs to move: How to move—spiritually, mentally, and physically—to help let go of trauma and other roadblocks.

-You are here for a reason: How to find the everyday “juice” that helps you stay oriented in your life’s purpose.

-You are never alone: How to build a community that’s meaningful to you.

-Everything is your teacher: Discover the deep learnings that come from pain and setbacks.

-Love is the most powerful medicine: Learn to love yourself—and others—into healing.

In a voice that is both practical and inspiring, Dr. McGarey shares her own extraordinary stories and eternal wisdom—from her early childhood in India and a chance encounter with Mahatma Gandhi to her life as a physician and a mother of six, to her survival of both heartbreak and illness. Dr. Gladys shares her inspiring vision for a healthier and more joyful future for us all, filled with “rich and complex truths that will resonate with readers’ hearts and minds” (Dr. Robert Waldinger, New York Times bestselling author).

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Narrator Elizabeth Wiley impeccably voices indomitable Dr. Gladys McGarey, who provides listeners with inspiration and practical strategies for living with full energy at any age. Listeners are also treated to stories and suggestions directly from Dr. McGarey, which are interspersed throughout the audiobook. As a centenarian who is both a woman and a medical doctor, Dr. McGarey has lived the life of a pioneer. Her compelling stories of growing up in India, the daughter of dedicated medical missionaries, would alone be worth the listen. Wiley delivers McGarey’s messages, including the struggle of dealing with divorce in her 70s, with fitting emotion. Overall, Wiley’s tone and pace communicate the joy and enthusiasm Dr. McGarey has for loving, learning, and sharing her six secrets for the well-lived life." (AudioFile Magazine)

Intriguing

The title caught my eye and I am glad that it did! This book was a joy to listen to during my daily walks. Inspiring! Thank you Dr Gladys McGarey for sharing your secrets, and the narration by Elizabeth Wiley was excellent too.

Beautiful

I absolutely loved this book! So much wisdom and love in one place! Thank you for putting together such a wonderful book!

Inspiring book for seniors

This book totally resonates with me as I went through similar experiences (although not as hard since I am in my late 60s) as a female physician. I wish the book existed when I was learning the same lessons the hard way. This book summarizes my life and gave titles to its chapters. Hopefully younger generations (specially other female physicians) will read it so that they can learn from Dr. Gladys’ experiences without having to learn it the hard way like I did. Thanks a million for sharing your invaluable life experiences. You are my role model for aging gracefully.

Excellent

Beautiful and inspiring

Holistic care is needed in our medical community! There is a definite lack of care for the whole body and our society shows this completely

Life changing book

The fact that a 102 year old woman has a 10 year life plan is revolutionary! The six principles are so necessary in today’s rush and hustle culture. A must read for anyone facing the transitions of life.
