The Pearls of Life:
101 Simple Ways to Health and Happiness
Endorsements (more to come)
A well-trained and experienced family physician, Dr
Chuang has written a commonsense guide that combines traditional Western
medicine with ancient Asian wisdom. His chapters provide helpful and
useful suggestions for a healthy and comfortable life. This lovely book
includes tips about exercise, diet, stress relief, work, psychological
health, and physical wellness.
With so much so-called advice and undocumented information in other books and on the Internet, it is refreshing to see a simple, straightforward, and medically cogent self-help book that truly offers the keys to health, wellness, and, indeed, happiness. Even the illustrations add an honest and catchy tone to emphasize the content of each chapter.
The simple and elegant writing makes each chapter a gem of “medical haiku.” Readers will love this book!

Dr. Chuang’s chapters are thoughtfully selected.
His recommendations are largely evidence-based and widely applicable.
They
wouldn't even cost a penny for any person to embrace - no copays and no
forms to fill out!

Dr. Chuang’s 101 seemingly
“simple” ways to health and happiness, in fact, incorporate
evidence-based medicine and our most advanced psychotherapeutic
techniques to encourage positive changes.
These principles are not fad, nor fiction,
but present a prescription for good clean living.
In the pellucid text and the enchanting
illustrations, one can feel Dr. Chuang’s genuine caring and concern for
your health and humanity.
