Summary

This book is the companion volume to Celebrated Figures on Good Health, published in 2017. Following the style of its predecessor, it collects the health practices of 45 artists, writers, medical experts and entrepreneurs, along with photographs of them at work and in daily life, allowing readers to appreciate, at their leisure, how celebrated figures from all walks of life regard work and healthy living—highly practical and full of positive energy. These 45 celebrated figures, old, middle-aged and young, show readers that good health is not the preserve of the elderly: by paying attention to a healthy lifestyle from a young age and applying it to daily life and work, one naturally becomes a health expert in later years, reaping rich rewards in body and mind, career and family.

Editor's review

Celebrated Figures on Good Health 2 is Zhu Tianze's second book focusing on the idea of healthy living. Continuing the distinctive approach of interviewing well-known figures from all walks of life, it presents health as a traditional topic grounded in the concrete practice of modern life through the first-hand accounts of dozens of representative figures in culture, art, science and technology. Unlike the many health books that focus on theory or folk remedies, its value lies in its vivid case studies and its capacity to inspire. It does not offer a one-size-fits-all set of secrets, but a pluralistic and inclusive view of health: good health can be woven into everyday diet, exercise, the rhythm of work and the adjustment of one's state of mind. In the editor's view, the point of the many shared experiences in the book is not to copy the methods directly but to prompt readers to observe and reflect on their own way of living. Zhu Tianze, a veteran media professional, writes his interviews plainly yet penetratingly, capturing the truest details and reflections of his subjects, which keeps the content from feeling preachy and makes it more approachable and credible. For modern readers seeking balance in a fast-paced life, this book is more like a mirror, or an honest conversation with the wise about how to live well.
