Jon is a good speaker and he does awaken certain areas that all pople should be aware of, but for the layman who may never get a handle on what holistic health is all about, the book is too hard to read or understand. He should take some pointers from the true "Guru" of holistic health who's books and podcasts have been educating people for years. Forget the Cures, Find the Cause is still the most readable and appropriate book for covering the true holistic approach to health. Books I and II should be the first read, and then you can add Jon's book for further reading.

Just out, and worth the wait. The subtitle says it all: "More than broccoli, jogging, and bottled water . . . More than yoga, herbs, and meditation." The gurus of holistic health have packaged the stark truth about current health promotion thinking and approaches and practically dare health promotion professionals to conduct yet another "wellness" program with incentives after reading chapter 10, "To reward or not to reward: Questioning the use of behavior modification." Take the dare. Read this book. Your programs will be stronger for it. Review reprinted from the Health-e headlines Corporate Report (www.health-eheadlines.com).

This book will challenge just about everything out there being touted as 'health care'. Dare to read it if you want to learn the true nature of change and dispense with most of the commerciality in health, wellness and disease care.

After hearing Jon Robison speak at a conference in Hamilton, Ontario in June 2006 I just HAD to get his book.

Although it's sometimes hard reading, I'd still recommend this book to anyone interested in learning about the whole concept of mind over matter.

(If you ever get the chance to hear him speak - GO!)
