The connection cure [sound recording] : the prescriptive power of movement, nature, art, service, and belonging / by Hotz, Julia,author.(CARDINAL)895159; Lamb, Lessa,narrator.;

Read by Lessa Lamb.Traditionally, when we get sick, healthcare professionals ask, "What's the matter with you?" But around the world, teams of doctors, nurses, therapists, and social workers are starting to flip the script, asking "What matters to you?" Instead of solely pharmaceutical prescriptions, they offer social prescriptions, referrals to community activities and resources, like art classes, gardening groups, and volunteering gigs. By helping us rediscover our sources of joy, meaning, and relationships, social prescriptions address the root causes of our sicknesses and help us feel better. The results speak for themselves. Science shows social prescribing is effective for treating symptoms of the modern world's most common ailments, depression, ADHD, addiction, trauma, anxiety, chronic pain, Parkinson's, diabetes, and more. Other research finds that social prescribing also helps our healthcare systems, reducing patient wait times, saving money, and even reversing health worker burnout. And as loneliness continues to infect more of us, social prescriptions can help us feel healthier than we felt before we got sick. From photography courses in the Netherlands to tea-making groups in South Korea, Hotz tours the globe to investigate the revolutionary potential of social prescribing through its five most common categories: nature, movement, art, service, and belonging. We see their prescriptive power personified through a range of healing journeys, a mother prescribed an art workshop for PTSD, a young man prescribed a fishing club for ADHD, a woman prescribed a sea swimming course for depression, a grandmother prescribed farm work for dementia. Their success stories bring a long-known theory to life: if we can change our environment, we can change our health.

This book explores both the motivations and the methods of those taking part in the social phenomenon known as recareering. A new generation of American workers is no longer counting the days until retirement; instead they're seeking greater fulfillment in their personal lives by tackling new--and often much more socially significant--work. Switching careers is a challenge at any age, yet boomers may have more to overcome than their younger counterparts. Author Greengard shows readers how to sort out their feelings about their existing career; successfully transition to a new one; and work toward a greater sense of balance in their daily lives. Profiles of recareering veterans show how others have attained their own goals. These are rounded out by tips, quizzes, worksheets, how-to sidebars, and other practical resources.--From publisher description.
