Exploring the interplay between social change and personal health experiences, this book offers a critical analysis of how societal shifts influence our understanding of health and illness. It delves into various sociological perspectives that have shaped health research, highlighting both enduring concepts and those that require reevaluation. By addressing the complexities of health as a fundamental aspect of the 'good life' and the anxiety that illness brings, it invites readers to reconsider the relevance of past ideas in contemporary health discussions.
