About this listen
After years of researching practical solutions to the physical and mental problems and injuries he sustained during his 28 years of military service, author Christopher W. Pierce shares these solutions in Self-Health Andragogy: Self-Directed Learning Approach to Mental and Physical Self-Care.
There is an overwhelming need for everyone to develop more self-reliance toward their health and wellness. The potential exists in all of us. This book doesn't just teach about self-care; through the adult learning theory andragogy, you learn how to tailor and implement the personal application of these concepts. It answers questions like:
- What is happening inside the brain during suicide, PTSD, depression, and/or anxiety, and how can I reverse these effects?
- What is brain plasticity, and how can I use it to reduce chronic pain, anxiety, and depression?
- How can I fight insomnia?
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Sleep is one of the most important but least understood aspects of our life, wellness, and longevity. Until very recently, science had no answer to the question of why we sleep, or what good it served, or why we suffer such devastating health consequences when we don't sleep. Compared to the other basic drives in life - eating, drinking, and reproducing - the purpose of sleep remained elusive.

Brain cancer, something no one wished existed. This guide will help shed some light on these subjects, and suggest/provide some treatment options.
