Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

"Wherever you are, whatever you are doing, you are in exactly the right place to begin taking steps that will support and maximize your health awareness and innate capacity to feel well and whole," says Stephan Rechtschaffen, M.D., cofounder of the Omega Institute, the largest holistic learning center in the U.S., attracting 25,000 wellness-seekers a year. Holistic medicine is based on the belief that "our bodies, minds, emotions, and spirits function as an interdependent system in which the health of one part can affect the well-being and vitality of every other part." So rather than dealing with one affected body part, holistic medicine encompasses the whole person.

This book is not a program so much as a compilation of guidelines for developing your own program. You choose a change you'd like to make, then use the book's tools to create that change. You learn practical techniques for stress management, time-shifting ("new ways to relate to, perceive, and use your time"), meditation, play, exercise, nutrition, and more. If you need to balance your life, slow down the busy-ness, and improve your health, this book is a gentle guide. Case studies, quotes (e.g., Dolly Parton: "Know who you are and do it on purpose"), and a resources list following each chapter make this book even more useful. --Joan Price
