I am regularly asked to recommend books that have influenced my thinking on life and health. None of the books I recommend concern exercise, nutrition, sleep, medicine, or health. They are all books on what I call ‘Soul Span’ or how to live a life of meaning and purpose. Lifespan and healthspan are the domains of science and facts. Soul span is the domain of philosophy, literature and art.
