Have you already broken all your resolutions for 2010? Don't worry. Breaking a few rules does not spell disaster. According to surgeon Dr. Susan Love and psychologist Dr. Alice Domar, authors of the new book Live a Little!, perfection should not be the goal. Learning to relax and live a little in 2010 just might improve your life. Setting unrealistic goals that require following every health rule all the time only sets us up for failure. In fact, the authors say perfect health is a myth and a healthy middle ground is better suited for our busy lives. The book's dose of realism in a world filled with hype about healthy habits is perhaps the best medicine of all.
