KNOWLEDGE IS POWER
I encourage my patients to read about health related topics. Many who can’t afford the time to sit and read are enthusiastic about audio books. This allows you to be active (walking, hiking, gardening, etc.) while learning. If you are a commuter, listening to an audio book can actually make the commute enjoyable. Here are a few titles to get you started (most are available at your local library):
