Workers Health Handbook - Philosophy of Action, Design and Multiplicity, #2

Workers face many obstacles to keep healthy, wealthy, and wise. Imagine living in conditions where most needs are met in community. This is wealth, a condition where people are free from the economy. They enjoy a full and safe life without racing endlessly to make money to pay bills and keep up with the dominant society.

The conditions of society demand that workers prioritize production over health. Many people struggle just to make it through the workday. After all, how many people want to be reduced to a work machine? This book presents methods to empower people to engage and thrive in habits that prevent illness and injury. It's a foundation for a better life.

Ideas precede action. Developing ideas to motivate activities that prevent sickness and accidents can orient people to stop doing things that undermine a decent life. Developing goals into habits can empower workers to control their lives in beneficial ways.

If people don't actively prevent cancer, heart disease, stroke, and diabetes, it's more likely that they will succumb to the common traps of society. Most of the activities people engage in serve and expand capitalist and nationalist interests. Another orientation may enable people to establish the conditions to live a life worth living.

Can diet, exercise, and stress reduction really make a difference? Life is a risky venture, even if you can't see that you are just going with the flow. The risk is there even if you are not aware of it. Can you become aware of the risk of doing nothing? This book is about taking action to connect with the air, land, and water, and with plants, animals, and people, to build a community in which the safety and security of all are a priority. Are you ready to take action? Read on for a better life.
