Stop Being Stopped

Stop Being Stopped is a motivating compilation of genuine principles for living a healthy, vibrant and vivacious life. “The number one cause of chronic disease is the failure to practice the principles of healthy living… As a result, conditions such as high blood pressure, elevated cholesterol and obesity have contributed to a significant rise in chronic disease in recent years” (p.3). Dr. Karen Lee Paquette’s book lobbies for the recognition of growing harm to our society that such unhealthy practices bring. More powerfully though, Paquette provides inspiring remedies to transform the standards of unhealthy thinking into a roadmap for individual success.

Her roadmap embarks on four destinations, all fuelled by the power of passion: unlimited energy, endless desire, effortless discipline and tremendous willpower.

The roadmap is unravelled in seven chapters, four of which explain in detail the destinations. Each chapter builds on the next, with the culmination of Paquette’s philosophy in a chapter entitled “Your Medical Guide.” This final segment includes health questions an individual may ask to determine the hidden truth behind how they feel.

Paquette makes it possible for patient and doctor alike to see themselves from a place of power and possibility, transforming even what they may have thought was unachievable. This is a book meant to be ready by all who desire to create the internal, self-motivating declaration of health empowerment.

Stop Being Stopped best exhibits the power of Docere (Doctor As Teacher). Paquette’s book educates and passionately encourages self-responsibility for health. The book also instructs the reader in ways that health may be realistically achieved by providing a foundation of empowerment, a good dose of reality and respect for individual needs.
