Our readers learn how to become active self-managers through problem solving, decision making, goal setting, and action planning. This book shares these tools of self-management as well as the basics of healthy eating, exercise, relaxation, communication and emotional empowerment. Living a Healthy Life with Long-Term Conditions offers readers a unique and exciting opportunity--the chance to take control of their health and enjoy their lives to the fullest extent possible with long-term illness. Originally based on a five-year study at Stanford University, the content of this UK 4th edition draws upon the completely revised US 5th edition and includes the feedback of medical professionals and people with long-term conditions all over the world.
