Most people would never describe the company that they keep as a "diet," but that's exactly what it is, a friend plan that, in many cases, originates when we are children and carries into adulthood. Like a food diet, it can have significant consequences for every aspect of a person's life, and there are numerous similarities in how people choose their foods as well as friends. The People Diet is a book that is based upon the following premise: Who you allow into your life can be even more important than what you allow into your body; it all comes down to the choices we make. Just as we nourish our bodies with healthy foods, we must energize ourselves with the company we keep and acknowledge the fact that healthy relationships reduce stress levels, while conversely unhealthy relationships are both stressful and lead to a poor quality of life. Everyone has the goal of happiness and who people allow into their lives can be a major contributor or destroyer of this goal. The People Diet is a book that is filled with exercises for readers to determine where they are at in life, as well as how to reach this goal. There are numerous stories about individuals who have either been at different stages of their own personal people diets or who were in desperate need of a people diet to reduce their personal stress levels. The goal of the book is to help people live better lives.
