You may like it, but not what I expected.

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.

Really?

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.
