We pride ourselves in making a varied and challenging book that complements your current status, regardless of where you are, all while providing room for inspiration and evolution. Maybe you're a research fi end? Go to page 40. Integrative health-care advocate? Go to page 22. Energy worker? Go to page 80. And who are we kidding: We know you love all things technique—this book is peppered with hands-on advice from the best names in the biz. We've known for a long time that content is king in your world. And we've learned that we can't be there for you only in print (you love to get your content through a variety of mediums). That's why over the years, our ABMP Communications Department has expanded to include webinars and continuing education, blogs and news, video for deeper demonstration, and podcasts to highlight interviews with peak performers. We do this to meet you where you are, no matter where that is. Your life is varied, your practice is your pulse. We hope you fi nd something you love inside this print publication and throughout the many association offerings we produce.
