The new edition of Living a Healthy Life with Chronic Conditions is coming in January 2020.

Every chapter in the new edition is completely revised and updated, many with the help of content specialists. There is also a new self-test for readers to help them understand how to best apply the concepts in the book to their own lives.

Important things to note about the new edition: 

• - You will have an entire year to use the 4th edition books you may already have. Don’t worry about needing to upgrade immediately.
• - The Canadian and U.S. editions will be combined into one book. This was done in consultation with experts from both countries. There will no longer be a need to order separate versions.
• - If you would like to pre-order, please contact Emily (emily@bullpub.com) for information.

CBS4 health correspondent in Denver, Kathy Walsh, recently ran a segment on our newest book, OVERCOMING POSITIONAL VERTIGO.

The book is available to order now!
