He visited energy practitioners and spiritual gurus, and learned yoga, meditation and how to manage the new anxieties his poor health had brought rushing to the surface. Get Well Soon is a memoir that focuses on the journey all of us at some point will have to make: the abrupt obligation to start living better, wiser, healthier, and to be kinder to our minds and bodies.
