I Wish You Well

Adrian McNally Smith will launch I Wish You Well at the Pourhouse (above the Old Triangle) in Charlottetown on November 12 at 6:30 pm. 

At age 40, Adrian was exposed to asbestos and mould at his workplace and became extremely ill. Ten years later, he experienced a major relapse that permanently damaged his central nervous system, affecting every aspect of his life. Told he would not live to 60 without significant lifestyle changes, he began working to prevent further illness—and later, to maintain whatever health he could find. But he fell into a cycle of setback and recovery. He finally broke free when he realized that instead of focusing on prevention and maintenance, he needed to focus on creation—specifically, creating health. 

Creating health is a model of intentional living in which a person moves from habit to routine to ritual. When there is a dire need of healing, the difference can be life changing.

In I Wish You Well, Adrian shares his 12 essential steps to creating health and wellness, drawn from his personal experience and the wisdom of philosophers, writers, and medical professionals. He also shares the ways in which for him, Prince Edward Island itself is a channel for healing.
