<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br><p>Award-winning author and journalist Andrew MacLeod tackles the pressing issue of health and public policy in Canada.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Never before have individuals faced so much conflicting information about how to be healthy: a constant rotation of fad diets, extreme workout regimens and celebrity-endorsed supplements are regularly hyped as the latest cure for all modern ills. We also maintain a massive health care system that absorbs a steadily growing share of public spending. As health has increasingly come to occupy a prominent role in our lives and headlines, however, we've tended to ignore that many of the the most significant contributors to making and keeping us well lie outside both the medical system and our individual control--income, education, employment, housing, environmental factors and social supports.</p> <p>In <em>All Together Healthy</em>, award-winning author Andrew MacLeod digs deep to discover how to build a healthy society, examines inequities within Canada and draws on international comparisons to assess why Canada's high spending on health care has failed to achieve better results. Meticulously researched and enlivened with interviews and personal stories, MacLeod explains the complexities of public health policy in an immediate and approachable way, making a passionate case for how best to maximize the health of the many.</p> <p>In Canada, this is a moment of political optimism, where the path to a healthier society seems possible, but it is uncertain whether promised changes will happen. <em>All Together Healthy</em> defines what's at stake and articulates a vision of a future where the health and well-being of all citizens is of central importance.</p>
