Dr Larimore captures , with precise and articulte words, the idea that wellness encompasses an integration of both the physical and the mental/spiritual dimensions of our daily existence. The book is well researched. References and web based links are set out logically for further study. The book is medically reliable----as a pediatrcian for the past two decades and also as a wroiter myself, I was impressed by both the style and content of this well-written book.

Spirituality features prominently in this book. But as is the case with the classic timeless book "The Power of Positive Thinking"by the late Dr Norman Vincent Peale, the faith language is crafted in a non-offensive manner.

Even a passionate atheist will be challenged in a kind way, to consider the benefits of faith and spirituality when it comes to balancing one's life, by being proactive in preventing disease, lightening one's load, avoiding loneliness, and nurturing hopes and dreams.

This book will find its place, not in the bookshelve of my private library, but in a more accessable and prominent spot on my desk.

I am looking forward to referencing it in my own writing and will , without hesitation, highly recommend it to both patients in my clinic and coleagues at work.

As the title suggests, the 10 essentials are indeed essential to optimal wellness.

Dr Larimore has successfully convinced me that the four wheels of health are to in perfect balance; he has also provided the reader with the specifics of how to achieve that balance.

This book will contribute to a healthier lifestyle and inner peace and fullfillment.

I was unable to put it down during a transcontinental flight!
It will captivate the attention of any sincere and open-minded reader

This was a phenomenal book giving practical tips for how to live a successful life in the areas of health, emotions, and spirituality. As a psychiatrist I highly recommend it!

Dr. Larimore's straight forward, easy to read, and practical advice is great. It makes so much sense and his tone is so motivationg. I'd love to have this guy as my doctor!

This book is a refreshing & revolutionary new look at what constitutes good health. It is far more than just another diet & exercise book. It encompasses ALL aspects of health; from the importance of our relationships, to the nurturing our hopes & dreams, to cultivating a true spirituality, to becoming our own health care quarterback. Read this book to discover how a Model T Ford inspired Dr. Larrimore to realize that the four basic components of highly healthy people are not only to achieve a physical balance in your life, but also an emotional, relational & spiritual ballance. This book is filled with delightful characters & illustrations from Dr. Larimore's own private practice, who share such sage advice as, "Doc, never give a patient a sleeping pill & a laxative at the same time!" A highly readable & enjoyable book that will entertain you, & motivate you to re-evaluate whether you are really a highly, healthy person.

This well-researched, easy-to-read and practical book will help patients and healthcare professionals alike learn more about the missing links in our current thinking about health. Dr Walt's 'four wheels of health' have already transformed my practice as a family physician by providing an effective tool to explore the emotional, spiritual, physical and relational issues that impact my patients' health and my ability to treat them. I believe this book will change many lives!

Dr. Walt Larimore has created a practical and user friendly approach to build healthy balance into your life with "The Ten Essentials of Highly Healthy People." I've given this book as a gift to friends and family because it's such an encouraging and practical way to feel better while gaining the positive energy that comes when your physical body is in balance with the other spokes in the wheel of life. Read through the sample sections and you'll see why I'm such a strong supporter of his approach to a better quality of life.

Maintaining good health seems like a better plan than to allow your health to deteriorate until it reaches a crisis, and then seeking medical help. This book is based on a world wide study by Dr. Walt Larimore, interviewing more than 1000 health care professionals in more than 60 countries. He asked them what they saw as the most important steps to good health, and then wrote this book about the 10 most important tips for maintaining really good health. Every father should read this book, and use it as a guide for his family. I believe that if these principles were followed diligently, it would solve most of our health care problems, and reduce our medical costs to less than 50%. It is a lot of work, but would be much easier in the end.

I would highly recommend this book for those looking to improve their health. Physical health is very closely linked to spiritual health. This book explains aspects practically.

Concise, amusing, helpful and entertaining look at how to improve your health by engaging all areas of your life: physical, emotional, and spiritual. A wonderful book to motivate one for significant changes in health as well pithy anecdotes! Enjoyed it immensely.
