Almost every week I open this book looking for information, ideas or just trying to get a better feel for a worksite programming model or concept. The three editions of this book have helped our field move forward by giving academics and practitioners an excellent one book source for what is best practices in worksite health promotion.

If you are a seasoned health promotion professional you already have this book and like me use it weekly. If you are new in the field and did not use this book in your undergraduate or graduate studies - you need to buy it for it will become a true resource for ensuring you become a better worksite programmer.

When you look at the contributing editors of this book you realize the expertise and experience you will be tapping into - and it's worth every penny you have to spend. This past week I was working on moving people away from the "Biggest Loser" concept in weight loss and immediately went to several chapters that gave me a starting point for designing a "behavior changed" focused weight management program. As a worksite program manager for almost 30 years it is the design and delivery of programming that helps initiate and support individual behavior change that is my constant challenge. O'Donnell's book is one of the books I keep directly over my computer - almost eye level where I can easily get at it without missing a step.

The book was in great condition and arrived in a timely manner. I will use this seller again when needed. Thanks again.
