"Clare McKenna's new book Would You Be Well? is timely - both in terms of a January release and also, on a macro level, as a guide through the increasingly complex world of 'wellness'. The book is a very detailed look at the many aspects of health - physical, emotional, psychological, as well as the delicate balance between these - and is clever about breaking down the sometimes-intimidating advice out there into small, manageable actions."
"As such, it helps cut through the ever-increasing noise around 'being well', at a time when the responsibility for one's personal health can feel overwhelming. There is so much advice, it changes so often, and plenty of it seems aimed squarely at people who are already operating at a such a level of performance that they are focussing on shaving seconds off personal bests, or optimising their intake of creatine."
"Fed up with trends, fads and diets, Clare McKenna went on a journey to pin down the true meaning of health and wellness. Six years later, enduring the pandemic and loss of her father, she shares her discoveries, the subject of her latest book 'Would You Be Well?'"
Health and wellness encompass physical, emotional, and psychological aspects that require delicate balance. Practical, small, manageable actions can make intimidating health advice accessible. Dividing wellness into Mind, Body, and Soul clarifies focus areas such as dieting failures, gut health, movement, and social connection. Overwhelming, shifting advice and a culture of extreme optimisation can make personal health responsibility feel burdensome. Much mainstream guidance targets high-performance individuals and may not suit most people. Starting with simple, evidence-aligned practices and prioritising balance helps cut through conflicting guidance and supports attainable wellbeing.
