This review is from: Invitation to Holistic Health: A Guide to Living a Balanced Life, Second Edition (Paperback)
I bought this book as a requirement for a class, but I have found it to be very useful outside of a "school environment". Lots of information and resources. Worth buying if you are one who wishes to create a more holistic approach to your lifestyle.

A lot of the material is common sense but it's nicely organized and fairly well written. Provides a concise and easy to understand introduction to Eastern wellness such as yin & yang philosophy.

I have been working my way through this book for a holistic well being class, and I like the book more and more as I read it. The book covers all the topics I would want discussed and offers additional resources at the end of each chapter.
