Book excerpt: 'Civics and Health' is a thought-provoking book that delves into the often-neglected physical basis of effective citizenship. The author of this book, William H. Allen, passionately argues that the prevention of incapacity and unhappiness can be easily achieved by taking a proactive approach to health and wellbeing. Drawing on the failures of past reformers who neglected to put their theories into action, Allen offers practical solutions for creating a healthier and happier society. He challenges the traditional notion of the mind-body dualism, arguing that a sound body leads to a sound mind, and vice versa. This book is a call to action for every American community and citizen to prioritize health and wellbeing as fundamental to the country's prosperity and success.
