Description
The Owner's Manual: A Man's Guide to Health and Vitality Through the Lens of Car Maintenance.
The Owner's Manual revs up the conversation about men's health by comparing it to something almost every guy understands: car maintenance.
Just as a well-maintained automobile can go the distance, a well-cared for body can lead to a long and healthy life. Drawing parallels between
maintaining a high-performance vehicle and keeping your body in top condition, this book o ers a relatable, no-nonsense approach to health that is
sure to resonate with the mechanically minded.
From taking care of your "alignment" (i.e., posture), "chassis" (i.e., core), "exhaust" (i.e., the lower digestive and urinary systems), and "spark plugs"
(i.e., the reproductive system) to making sure your "fuel and oil" (i.e., nutrition) is the best it can be, each chapter covers an essential aspect of men's
health, letting you know how to stay fi t both physically and mentally through diet, exercise, and routine check-ups. And thanks to the use of common
automotive analogies, these messages are simple, memorable, humorous, and impactful.
Whether you're the type of guy who gets regular oil changes or the type who waits for his car's check-engine light to come on before bringing it in
for a check-up, this guide will inspire you to take charge of your health and entertain you along the way. It's time to make self-care as important as engine
care. After all, your body is the most valuable machine you'll ever own.
