Vessel Maintenance
Health, Sports & Life — The Architecture of the Human Vessel
The Central Idea
Biology asks how the vessel lives. Psychology asks what happens inside the vessel. Vessel Maintenance asks: How does a biological organism maintain strength, movement, health, resilience and functional capacity throughout life?
