From Publishers Weekly

Long-term lung cancer survivor Anderson (The Cancer Conqueror) believes that wellness and illness are not just conditions experienced by individuals but are expressions of whole persons functioning in a range of contexts: in their society, among their co-workers, with their family and friends. His holistic approach to wellness addresses attitudes and core beliefs, vocation and emotion, as well as physical habits and nutrition. The advice is sound and sometimes unexpected: "stress is to be not only expected but preferred.... The problem isn't stress, it's toxic stress." Despite the rigid connotation of the title, these "laws" are generous and encouraging, reflecting Anderson's accessible presentation of material in aphoristic, anecdotal chapters. This inspirational guide sometimes lacks subtlety, but it doesn't harangue and is filled with inspiring verbal snapshots of people whose lives have been enriched by adopting the practices and beliefs explicated here.

5.0 out of 5 stars Laws to live by, January 20, 2001

By	S.Venkatesan (Mumbai,India) - See all my reviews

The author has personally recovered from cancer ( near death - just30 days to live), by living the laws, he suggests others to live by. The key passage is in chapter 19 where he discusses how he discovered the law of forgiveness and applied it in his case. Similarly the law of unity is an important observation. We are body,mind and spirit. The book is easy to read. He uses no jargons. He also emphasises how these laws are connected to each other.

5.0 out of 5 stars Empowering laws for all who want control of their health, June 30, 1998

By A Customer

Greg Anderson has provided a way to take control of your own wellness. The non-negotiable laws are truly common sense laws that we all can practice and learn in time. I related to the first Universal Law - The Law of Esprit. Joy is in our lives but we don't always see it. Now I'm beginning to see and feel the joy.
