Uncivilized Vitality: Looking Back to Move Forward: Volume I: The Five Vital Paths

Book Synopsis: Uncivilized Vitality is a program of Health & Happiness Optimization created by Dr. Jon D Morey, based on concepts such as Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs and C.G. Jung's idea of Individuation as the ultimate goal of all healthy and happy adults. The Uncivilized Vitality method provides guidelines for optimized Movement, Nourishment, Restoration, Hygiene, and Community; all gleaned from the ADL's (activities of daily living) of our great ancestors.

Volume I: The Five Vital Paths introduces the program and addresses the disastrous effect that being overly civilized has had on the Health and Happiness of modern people. A clear distinction is made between the ideas of Society and Civilization and how the latter has inexorably made us weaker, sicker, and fatter than at any point in the pre-history of humans; before we gathered in cities, placed all of our hopes on agriculture, and relinquished our self-reliance to a centralized governmental authority.

Dr. Morey's Uncivilized Vitality method will give you the know-how to regain your Three Lost Abilities and reclaim the vitality of a pre-civilized Hunter-Gatherer. Dr. Morey's Bio-Social Organization (BSO) theory shows how humans of the deep past were able to meet the basic needs of all living things without the "conveniences" of contemporary civilization.

Forthcoming Volumes Two (Fieldcraft) and Three (The 13 Philosophical Tenets) will complete the Uncivilized Vitality method of Health & Happiness Optimization.
