Description
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.
