Besides all this, I was pretty much convinced I was worthless and would never amount to anything, which pretty much took away my incentive to try harder. I had spent my youth in special education classes, where I was convinced that I was mentally inferior to everyone else. Looking around me, it seemed liked all areas of my life were dismal, and I saw little reason to believe things would improve. Today I'm trim and healthy, I'm a successful journalist, I recently ran a marathon, and my life seems to keep getting better. More importantly, I'm excited to be alive, and look forward to the future every day. So What changed? After years of research, things really started to take off for me when I realized I was such a mess because I'd utterly failed to address my human needs. Sure, I wasn't starving to death and I had a place to live, but that's pretty much where things ground to a halt. My social life was a nonexistent, I was fueling my body with the worst food possible, and my mind was running rampant down the most negative of paths. So let me ask you: What do a man on the verge of suicide, a woman who is getting by but not really thriving, and someone who is so happy and impassioned that he can barely contain himself have in common? Whether they're aware of it or not, all of these people, and everyone else, is sitting at various points on the same spectrum of human development. Outside the fleeting differences in their physical realities, the only things that sets them apart is how well they're meeting their own needs. Our Human Needs So how to human needs tie into the raw food lifestyle? You've probably heard of Maslow's hierarchy of needs, and it was a great first stab at addressing what it takes to allow a person to thrive, but when the Maslow was writing in the 1950s he lacked the wealth of science that has emerged in the interim. He lacked, for instance, a simple but key understanding modern psychologists have gained of depression: that it comes and goes depending on what we concentrate on. He knew nothing of our need of a diet composed of whole, ripe, raw fruits and vegetables, or how keenly we are affected by lack of sunshine. Nowhere in his pyramid does he mention the power belief has over our life, and the tremendous amount of good exercise does for us. The Truth Is that each need is like a pillar supporting the platform we live on. A few short or unstable pillars won't damage us too much, but let enough fall into ruin and your life will come tumbling down, as mine did. In The Raw Food Lifestyle I review our many human needs - some you've likely never even considered - and explain how you can start addressing them one by one. The Raw
Food Lifestyle Part One
Out of the Doldrums Whether you're
depressed or merely looking to grow, an understanding of why so many of us fall into malaise,
and how this problem can be easily
prevented by proper use
of our minds and bodies is critical.
Are you tired of the worthless recommendations of of the drug-happy medical industry? This section outlines the dead-end routes of most psychoanalytical and medical approaches to depression, and the science that's emerged over the last few decades showing us a better way. No matter what your circumstances, you can break free of your lowest low by applying these tips. These are the principles I used to escape depression and get moving in the right direction.

The Raw Mind No matter how wealthy, good looking, and outwardly successful you may seem, if you haven't learned to control your mind you're at the mercy of outside forces. You're unlikely to find long term success on a raw food diet without changing the way you view the world, which comes down to belief. So tell me: Are you responsible for everything that happens to you, good or bad? Most people will quickly say no, but I've dramatically improved my life by changing that answer to yes, and it's just one of the changes I talk about in this section. Stop and ask yourself: Where do your beliefs come from? You've got a host of lenses (beliefs) in front of your eyes that color your perception of reality. You likely didn't put most of them in place yourself, but had them placed there by your parents, society, your religion, or numerous other sources. Beneficial or not, these lenses have a tremendous amount of power over our lives. In The Raw Food Lifestyle I tell you about some of my own successful experiments with changing my lenses, and the benefits they've brought to my life.

Lifestyle Part Three
The Body Although its cliched, your body really is the temple you live in, and how well you look after it will determine the quality of your life for decades to come. Yet when it comes to our bodies, the world is a morass of contradictions. Hide from the sun to save yourself from cancer, we are told. Exercise is good, but it should be done in sterile, boring environments like monotonous oval tracks and on weight machines. Fruits and vegetables are the best foods, but god forbid we eat "too many of them". In this section I tackle many of the common raw foodist concerns when it comes to our physical existence.

Lifestyle Part Four
The Other Needs The way we've set up civilization does not make meeting our needs the easiest of tasks, but with planning and commitment we can make things work. These needs are "outside" of ourselves, and we generally have to make more of an effort to ensure we're meeting them.
Putting
the Pieces Together.
I finish up the book with a human needs audit to help you take what would otherwise be abstract ideas and actually apply them in a meaningful way to your life. These ideas are not for everyone. People who are looking for quick fixes to their problems should look elsewhere. If you realize such schemes lead to dead ends, though, this book can be of tremendous value to your life. I'm very confident that if you put these ideas into practice your life will take off like never before. Which begs the questions... How Much Is This
Going to Cost?
