For more than thirty years, John W. Travis, M.D., and Regina Sara Ryan have taught hundreds of thousands of people a practical whole-self approach to wellness and healthy living. Each chapter of the comprehensive WELLNESS WORKBOOK explores one of the twelve interconnected forms of energy that contribute to your overall health and vitality:

From how you breathe to how you view the world, these twelve areas affect all aspects of your life: your disposition toward injury and illness, your relationships, your general level of happiness, and beyond. In an optimal state of wellness, all of your energies are in balance, and you are less prone to disease, stress, and other life-depleting factors. Using a self-assessment tool known as the Wellness Index, you’ll develop a clear picture of what areas in your life need attention.

Now in its third edition, the thoroughly updated and streamlined WELLNESS WORKBOOK provides hundreds of exercises and ideas to help you take control of your health and happiness.
·  A classic text in the wellness field, thoroughly revised and updated, and streamlined for a more simple and practical presentation.
·  Chapters cover self-responsibility and love, breathing, sensing, eating, moving, feeling, thinking, playing and working, communicating, sex, finding meaning, and transcending.

WELLNESS WORKBOOK integrates physical health with feeling well, which is no small task. Our emotions, attitudes, and beliefs play critical roles in wellbeing. In recognizing this fact, WELLNESS WORKBOOK offers down-to-earth practical approaches to help us enjoy our lives and our good health. If living well is your goal-and it should be-this book is a must-have.
-Dean Edell, M.D., author of Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Healthiness

"One of the great paradoxes of our high-tech age is that good health fundamentally depends on simple, practical things-things we can and must do for ourselves. WELLNESS WORKBOOK has brought home this truth to hundreds of thousands of individuals around the world. This new edition remains a clarion call for total health: wellness of body, mind, and spirit." -Larry Dossey, M.D., author of  Healing Beyond the Body and Reinventing Medicine

"Without a doubt, WELLNESS WORKBOOK is the most valuable and useful resource on wellness ever written. It has often been said that there is, unfortunately, no manual for living-but this well-loved book comes pretty close." -Meg Jordan, Ph.D., R.N., Global Medicine Hunter® and editor and founder of American Fitness magazine

5.0 out of 5 stars Mind, Body, Soul - a wellness book for everyone encompassing all things

Bought this book as a gift for my son. I believe for people to be healthy, they first need to take care of the self and look within. I've read the reviews of this book and it seemed like just the thing my son could use. I browsed through the book and I'm pleased to say that it is exactly what I was looking for my son. It offers practical and sensical advice and information, it also includes a workbook to enable a person to track their progress to health and wellness in any aspects of their lives.

Great book!

This edition of Wellness Workbook is about 10 yrs old now, but aside from a few nutritional things (like the food pyramid) being outdated, the majority of this book is still relevant today. I recommend that anyone who purchases this book take the test at the front. It will take you about an hour maybe to go through all of the sections, but you will learn so much about yourself, your life, and the areas that have been neglected & need work - the test itself is worth the price of the book. I was actually shocked when I took the test. I had to get this book as part of a graduate level university course in wellness coaching. It was an excellent read & I learned a lot. If you're into building a better life for yourself, this is a good book to add to your library.

There is no better source for evaluating and building a wellness plan that encompasses every aspect of the individual. Was introduced to this book during my studies as a wellness coach and have since gifted this book to multiple people.

1. The color is very positive, I am because it is warm in winter.It's not very deep. It's a little through.It's the first time I bought it, and the cover is very comfortable, very soft, and you don't have to worry about it being folded or broken.Logistics normal, texture in place, tall on.

I bought it for a class at SF State but really, I would love to read this book once a year or at least do the wellness index once a year. Great for a health makeover!! Get it if you don’t know where to start on your healing journey.

The book itself was very interesting, not what I originally thought it was but really able to dive deep into ideas I wouldn’t have done on my own.

The condition was decent as it was used. Not as new but not tattered.

The book was larger than I thought it would be, however wellness has been well researched and is ongoing. The book felt outdated, especially under the wellness and eating. Love the theme that everyone decides for themself.

Many Aspects of Wellness which you may have forgotten or ignored. Makes sense knowing them all. The book helps you discover which ones are there and in which you lack. The balanced approach of this book is brilliant. It focuses on Wellness as whole concept rather than just one or two areas. I also liked that it is not pedantic and it in fact encourages personal decisions and judgement.
