"Health, Happiness, and Longevity" by Louis Philippe McCarty is a health guide written in the late 19th century. The book aims to explore how individuals can achieve well-being through natural methods rather than relying solely on medical intervention or financial wealth. The author advocates for the interconnectedness of health, happiness, and longevity, positing that these qualities can be attained through simple principles such as regularity, cleanliness, temperance, morality, and self-control. The opening of the work begins with a preface that emphasizes the author's personal experience in overcoming numerous health challenges and asserts that true health can be maintained without heavy reliance on medicine. He urges readers to abandon preconceived notions about health and to adopt a more common-sense approach to living. Following this, the first chapter outlines the significance of the three key concepts—health, happiness, and longevity—alongside a vision for improving the human condition. McCarty sets the tone for a practical exploration of these themes, promising actionable insights drawn from his observations and experiences. As the reader is drawn into this exploration, it's evident that the author seeks to inspire a lifestyle based on mindful practices that foster a fulfilling and long life.
