Features: You must know how important health is, but do you understand what true health really is? Perhaps you know what true health is, but have you ever followed healthy standards? We have too many misunderstandings about health. When we are young, our bodies are strong and full of energy, as if we don’t need to pay attention to our health. In middle age, how can we describe the busyness? You will have a thousand reasons to work hard, leaving health aside. Most people “mend the fold after the sheep is lost” for their health only after falling seriously ill. Besides, there are many white-collar and even golden-collar professionals who, despite their great talents, are helpless when facing harm from society and the workplace. Often, due to a lack of self-help knowledge, they suffer severe losses in their lives and property. Why is our life so fragile? Who can give us a sense of security? When health and safety are compromised, what should we do? One must save oneself first, and then others can save them. This is the purpose of compiling this book. Health and safety are like the air around you—when you have them, you don’t feel their value, but once you lose them, you’ll immediately feel suffocated. I believe everyone will not forget the tragic incident that occurred on the campus of Yunnan University. A college student, due to a disagreement with a classmate, suddenly developed a murderous intent, killing four people and going on the run. It is said that the suspect was a “person with excellent physical health, who loved sports, took cold showers, and had a solitary and easily angered personality.” This shows that having a “good body” is not enough for one’s health. For someone with severe psychological defects, excellent physical health can actually cause great harm to society. In light of this, we have strengthened the content on mental health in this book, hoping that readers not only have a strong physique but also a healthy psychological quality that can withstand the storms of life. The target readers for this book are white-collar professionals in the workplace, but we believe many bosses with a sense of compassion and social responsibility will also be interested in this book, as using such books full of humanity to demonstrate care for employees is certainly most appropriate.
