Quantum Wellness is the idea that you can achieve a significant increase in the health of mind, body and spirit through small focused steps, which will, in turn, yield extraordinary changes in your life.
None of us makes perfect choices all the time so, in this New York Times bestseller, Kathy Freston shows how small steps regarding how to eat, how to work, how to live in our imperfect bodies and how to stay positive can add up to significant breakthroughs in overall well-being. To do this, Freston advocates setting manageable goals - achieving a little one day a week, then two, then more - and building up to a complete programme that can incorporate all or some of the eight pillars of wellness: meditation, visualisation, fun activities, a diet of whole foods, exercise, helping others, considering yourself and spiritual practise. In combination, these will take perfect care of your mind, body and spirit, raising you to the pinnacle of wellness.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Former model Freston (The One) writes intimately about healing and finding wellness through "incremental changes that vault us to a new experience of ourselves." Peppered with examples from Freston's own path to more conscious, healthier living (quitting smoking, becoming vegan), the book methodically addresses what it means to be healthy in mind, body and spirit and how the three are inextricably intertwined. Some of Freston's prescriptions such as cleansing, meditation and yoga are familiar and feel like Hinduism and Buddhism lite but her contention that "e cannot thrive as individuals without tending to the ills of this world and all its inhabitants" is powerfully argued. The book devotes considerable attention to promoting vegetarianism ("It's about having integrity in the most fundamental of our actions eating"), and in keeping with the book's attention to "incremental" change, Freston introduces ways for even the most hardened carnivore to start leading a cruelty-free life. With compelling chapters on dealing with crisis and an innovative section on "personal energy management," Freston invites and equips readers to become their own healers in moments of sickness, despair and loss.
