FYE (For Your Evaluation): Book chapters of "A Call to Hope and Action--Letters to the Next Generation of Massage Healthcare Professionals"

Dedication

Motivation: Why I wrote this book in this way

Introduction: Honoring who we authentically are
  • On the shoulders of giants, part 1 of many
  • bell hooks
  • The story of Procrustes

First principles: What we commit to
  • Keeping healthy boundaries while applying the principle of charity
  • Behaviors that you are not called upon to tolerate
  • Enlightenment values
  • Trustworthiness
  • Integrity
  • Professionalism
  • Courage, my friends!
  • Threshold concepts and core concepts
  • Massage "myths"
  • Pain and blowback
  • Opting out—No blame, no shame; just aporia
  • Countering myths and misinformation: We are not alone

Careful what we pretend to be
  • Realism
  • Materialism
  • Humanism
  • Literacies
  • Numeracy
  • Information literacy
  • Health literacy
  • Science literacy
  • Research literacy
  • Environmental literacy
  • Media literacy
  • Policy literacy
  • Financial literacy
  • Reasons for hope: We are not alone

Consilience: The tapestry of unified real-world healthcare-professional knowledge
  • Science and how the natural world works
  • Thermostats: No homunculus needed
  • Flywheels and isomorphisms: No vending machines
  • Systems thinking
  • Homeostasis: Not necessarily 50-50
  • Positive-feedback loop: Not necessarily good
  • Negative-feedback loop: Not necessarily bad
  • Open-world and closed-world
  • Emergence: More than the sum of its parts

A call to hope and action: People, animals, and environment—One Health
  • Nous: Developing the discernment to be a full-fledged healthcare professional team member
  • Habitus: Communicating to clients and other professionals that we deserve their trust
  • Praxis: Putting grounded reality-based knowledge into effective reality-based practice
