Resolve: Strategies, Thoughts, and Beliefs for Healthy Living coaches readers through major lifestyle changes that can lead to better physical, emotional, and spiritual health. It helps them recognize emotions, beliefs, and behavior patterns that can work against them and provides strategies for replacing them with healthier choices.

Part One encourages readers to focus on health rather than worrying about weight by addressing issues related to body image and culture. Part Two introduces the reader to tools that can help them achieve their personal health goals. The book features nutrition and exercise tips as well as strategies for using emotions effectively, managing stress, pursuing potential, and cultivating positive thinking.

The third edition includes fresh content on budget-conscious health, mindful use of technology, and strategies for improved mental wellness. Additionally, much of the text has been updated to shift perspectives from weight management to focus on the goal of whole-person health.

Rooted in positive psychology and emphasizing the unique value of every individual, Resolve is suited to courses on personal growth and enrichment, personal health, and healthy weight management.
