Pursuing Whole Person Health
Exploring different ways in which we struggle and suffer, The Renaissance Mind offers a new way to conceive and pursue whole person health, based firmly upon wisdom from the past.
Part memoir, part professional development book, it appeals to anyone seeking to shake the one-dimensional labels applied by our traditional educational, social and work cultures. It weaves compelling narrative with pragmatic, actionable advice.
As a Latin scholar turned orthopedic sports medicine surgeon, Dr. Day was at the height of surgical specialization when his twins were born at 28 weeks’ gestation and one went into respiratory failure, requiring ventilator support to stay alive. This birth trauma would not only define the course of his daughter’s early life, but would challenge everything he thought he knew about my own. The seemingly tragic diagnosis would ultimately prove redemptive, however.
