From the Author

The idea for this book came directly from my experiences over the years working with a wide variety of patients at a large university teaching hospital. Even now, a typical day for me could be treating an outpatient with shoulder pain in the morning, and then getting a heart transplant patient out of bed for exercise in the afternoon.

Early on in my career, I realized that no matter how much medical knowledge I had, it was all basically useless unless I could get my patients to do what I knew was good for them, things such as exercising regularly or eating better. After much researching and field-testing, I decided to write The Sixty-Second Motivator as a way of pulling together all the evidence-based techniques I use so that others might benefit from them.
