What if there was an amazingly effective treatment for one of the biggest health issues in America today -- and it didn't cost a penny?

Here's the kicker: there is.

In any given year, more than one in 10 adults in America suffers from depression, and lost productivity and medical treatment related to depression costs American businesses, insurers and taxpayers over $40 billion annually. What's largely missing from this picture is something athletes have known for years, and more recently, scientific researchers have confirmed: exercise triggers natural endorphins that elevate the mood and alleviate depression.

"The Ultimate Prescription" aims to focus attention on the mind-body connection at the root of this major societal problem, and to inspire a fundamental reconsideration of the strategies our health care system typically relies on to treat depression.

Below is our wholesaler's description. We have ordered the cover scribing option, and we do want our professionally-written back cover prose used here, so please submit our prose for professional review. "This book is about the power of intention to create your life. It is the kind of intention that is born of choice and aligns you with your highest self, pulling you forward toward your highest good. It is also about commitment to a practice and a daily reminder that you are at choice about how you live the moments of your days. And lastly it is about the beauty and rewards of friendship and intimacy. If your life is not what you have dreamed of, you have the power within you to change it. By getting clear and conscious of your inner longing, of your true path in life, by visualizing the results and committing to authentic action, you can do anything that your heart desires. This book provides a clear and powerful format for this daily practice. Authors Elizabeth Bell and Maxine Barish-Wreden have been best friends and prayer partners for over 16 years. They are both health care professionals committed to healing and wholeness and bring the power of intention and vision to their work as well as to their own lives. In large part they credit the daily practice of prayerful intention for the rich quality of their lives and their relationships, and they look to share this with all women.
