Author Description

The Revival of the Fittest: A Manual to Change the World is Anthony James Canelo's guide for young, or aspiring, healthcare professionals to better diagnose, prevent, and treat their patients' health issues. The author presents, and expounds upon, ten principles to providing better medical service through alternative health methods: charisma, credentials, ingenuity, productivity, visionary quality, emotional exhibition, mass exposure, negative presentation, community support, and undeniable evidence. Within each principle's section, Canelo challenges conventional wisdom and institutional thinking and illustrates his perspectives with examples and exercises the reader can test-drive herself. Following the ten principles are three virtues of healthy success: intellectual growth, self-determination, and authenticity. This triad of personal development is the match that sparks the ten principles into action and positively impacts the reader's own life, medical practice, and patients' lives. Canelo closes his treatise with a challenge to the reader that is both inspiring and convicting, for this is a manual to change the world, and real change can only come through action. This, Canelo's eighth book, is a passionate and well-rounded addition to his growing portfolio on health, sustainability, and disaster preparedness.
