We all know the basic vital signs that indicate being alive, but true vitality means really feeling alive: feeling energised, invigorated, enthusiastic and optimistic every day.

Through his work as a lifestyle-medicine practitioner, Dr Mark Rowe has come to see how the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual aspects of our wellbeing all impact on our health and our ability to stay well. Getting all these elements working in an interconnected, synergistic way forms the essence of vitality, or 'the VitalityMark' as Dr Rowe has come to define it.

The Vitality Mark helps you to identify the gaps in your wellbeing and offers a programme to make small, sustainable improvements that will increase your vitality over time and put the bounce back in your step.

'I promise that reading this book will change your life ... one small, simple step at a time.' Dr. Doireann O'Leary

'Dr. Rowe's book comes to help save the day, save your life and, most importantly, add life to your years as well as your days.' Dr. Beth Frates, Harvard Medical School
