Recommendation

Paul Zane Pilzer is an economist with a vision. Pilzer sees technological advances remaking the way Americans think about health. In his eyes, scientific breakthroughs are ushering in a revolution that will transform our current healthcare system - which Pilzer describes as the sickness industry - into the proactive, lifestyle-based wellness industry. His book describes this revolution in two parts. The first half, which will appeal to a wide range of readers, analyzes the current state of healthcare and advances in biology and cellular biochemistry. In the second half of the book, which takes a more dollar-minded approach, Pilzer attempts to identify business and investment opportunities that will arise from the Wellness Revolution. Thus, getAbstract.com heartily recommends this book to both camps: the general-interest reader, and the entrepreneur or investor on the hunt for new opportunities.

Take-Aways

  • The Wellness Revolution will become a trillion-dollar industry by 2010.
  • In contrast to the sickness industry, which treats illness, the wellness industry proactively promotes good health.
  • Breakthroughs in biology and cellular biochemistry will increase vitality and extend life.
