Crack the Code: 10 Proven Secrets that Motivate Healthy Behavior and Inspire Fulfillment in Men Over 50

Abstract

The title of the book Crack the Code: 10 Proven Secrets that Motivate Healthy Behavior and Inspire Fulfillment in Men Over 50 captures this topic well. The author focuses on motivating men over 50 to take responsibility for their own health and make healthy changes. Its intent is to present a concrete framework to set personal goals and ways to ensure change endures. This book is targeted to the lay public, specifically men over 50 years of age, though it might have value to men younger or even women as well. There are numerous positive approaches reviewed and These are grounded in social theory. Many of the conclusions reached in this book are a result of surveys and research conducted by the author. However, the generalization of characteristics of men over 50 did not fit my lived experience. It started out with a great framework and suggested approach, but then got muddled in stories and eclectic organization. I think Crack the Code: 10 Proven Secrets that Motivate Healthy Behavior and Inspire Fulfillment in Men Over 50 might be good reading for someone looking for theory-based approaches to positive psychology and change theory. These are loosely applied to personal experience, with a life lesson wrapped in. I believe some readers will become more mindful of their own habits.
