Arthur Schopenhauer, the German philosopher best known for his book, The World as Will and Representation, said,

“All great truth goes through three phases. First it is ridiculed, then violently attacked, and finally accepted as self-evident.”

Funny how a man who lived in the first half of the nineteenth century said something that sums up the progression of the thinking surrounding health, wellness, and anti-aging 175 years later.

Here’s to hoping more people, especially those in the medical community and government, are transitioning to the third phase — because it really is self-evident what needs to happen to improve the quality of human lives.
