This book is used for a class that is required for a program I am in. The class is supposedly an "open-minded" class. But it is all about this book and it only focuses on Western thought. I had high expectations for this class and this book since I have been studying and practicing wellness for over 10 years. My expectations have been let down and this book or the class is not "open-minded" at all. Also, it hints at religion being part of the program, not impressed.
If you don't know anything about wellness, it could be a good start if you want to include religion and all. And I recommend and Anatomy & Physiology course as a prerequisite. There are many in my class who don't understand some of the principles based on the understanding of Anatomy & Physiology.

Well Written for a Health Text
Reviewed in the United States on 28 February 2017Verified Purchase
Great book, easy to read for a textbook. For those who complained about it having a religious bent, it doesn't. It mentions a spiritual dimension to wellness, an aspect which has a proven positive affect on the human body. It doesn't mention a particular religion - it could be a spiritual aspect where one feels peaceful and at one with one's world. It mentions monogamy as the only way to be 100% sure that one will not be the victim of STDs, herpes, etc. This is a fact, not an esoteric spiritual thought, no matter whether one likes it or not. One can chose between a variety of lifestyles, and the book does not condemn any one lifestyle. It does, however, point out what lifestyle choices gives one the optimum healthy lifestyle - be it avoiding fatty foods, engaging in a consistent exercise program, or limiting glucose intake.

Really?
Reviewed in the United States on 16 June 2019Verified Purchase
besides taking too long to get here, WHOLE PAGES WERE MISSING. Like pages I need for my class, I thought it would be alight if it was just one section but its MULTIPLE. It's very upsetting that I paid for this and I can't even use it, and it doesn't help that my own college doesn't even carry it along with neighboring Barnes and Nobles.
