About the Author
Linda is a journalist and author with a master's degree in psychology and an inexhaustible fascination with learning new stuff. Since 1982, she has written a host of articles (she lost track of exactly how many somewhere around 3,000) and authored or coauthored 14 books. Much of her writing focuses on factors that foster health and well-being - things such as diet, exercise, sleep, social support, stress relief, and contact with the natural world.
Exercise-wise, Linda enjoys walking and going to the gym, and those enthusiasms are reflected in her writing. Diet-wise, she loves veggies and cookies in equal measure, but she's trying to tip the balance in favor of the former. When it comes to sleep, she's a pro. But when it comes to stress management, there's plenty of room for improvement. In short, she's like her readers: already doing many things right, but motivated to do even more in the future.
