Editorial Reviews

Product Description

We propose that the major healthcrises in the United Statesare not about heart disease, cancer, osteoporosis, or obesity. Instead they areabout violence, prejudice, social isolation, and runaway materialism.Unfortunately, traditional health promotion continues to "attack" our problemsby declaring war on disease, obsessing about epidemiologically based riskfactors and frightening people about what they eat, how much they weigh, andwhat they like to do or not do. These approaches rarely help and often createan atmosphere of anxiety and confusion. This book is an invitation tohealth professionals to rethink our current understanding of health, illness,and the process of healing. It covers topics that are rarely addressed inhealth promotion including the history of the human species, the ScientificRevolution, quantum physics, and the latest mind/body/spirit research. While itmay seem as if this information is only marginally related to health, webelieve it provides a critical foundation for the truly holistic approach tohealth promotion we describe in detail in this book.It is time to re-create ourprofession and set a daring new course to improve the quality of the humanexperience.

3.0 out of 5 stars okay, but, November 6, 2007
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Gurus of holistic health, July 19, 2004
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).

5.0 out of 5 stars Jon Robison is the best . . . , January 11, 2007
By A. Cooney (Western Canada) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
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!)
