This review is from: The Wellness Tree: The Dynamic Six Step Program for Creating Optimal Wellness (Paperback)

Couched in a "New Age" approach to good health, The Wellness Tree: The Dynamic Six-Step Program For Creating Optimal Wellness by Justine O'Brien begins with the imagery of the "Tree of Life", and then moves on to devote whole chapters to the role of mental attitude, breath, nutrition, physical movement, rest, and solitude in achieving and maintaining optimal health. O'Brien then moves on to the utilization of visualization techniques and offers his readers a sixty- one point exercise designed to help them "recreate" themselves. The last two chapters deal with "The Future of Wellness" and "Relationship with Life". Enhanced with an informative afterword by Frederick Franck, extensive Notes, a Bibliography for further study, and a comprehensive index, The Wellness Tree is an impressive, thoroughly "user friendly" instructional which is ideal for the non-specialist general reader wanting to improve their physical, emotional, and even spiritual well-being.

This book is by far one of the best I have ever read on personal development. The contents in this book is so useful that I now use it as a reference. I have had trouble sleeping throughout my youth and well into adulthood, many times have I tried multiple techniques suggested by Doctors and the like and nothing worked. The technique Dr. Justin Obrien suggests is easy to follow and requres no drugs!!!! This is just one example of the many useful suggestions I use in my life. A must have!

This is an amazing book full of tips and ways we "should" be living our lives. It helped me to look at life differently and see myself as a whole and grow from it! I also had an amazing teacher for this class! If you go to UIW chances are you have had her too!
