In addition, the author adopts a principle of "purposiveness" (in which everything in life has some positive potential purpose), very akin to theology, to explain everything, and to persuade people of the wisdom of the definitive behavioral principles that can be expected to bring health and longevity. Individual initiative and moral responsibility are excluded completely.
