The Book of Self-Care

November 15, 2017

Alternative medicine consultant Janssen contends that wellness can be achieved through developing a consciousness-based wholeness among mind, body, and environment. Being in touch with the spiritual is essential, and Janssen proposes a number of solutions (e.g., mindfulness, meditation, visioning, etc.) through which to achieve this state. She draws on the teachings of Deepak Chopra, Eckhart Tolle, and well-known philosophers to encourage readers to make life-affirming decisions and engage in positive behaviors. VERDICT Janssen provides a comprehensive and valuable handbook for enhancing consciousness and compassion.
