Carolyn Chambers Clark says
These books sound great, but limited. As a wellness practitioner (nurse practitioner with research doctorate from Columbia U) and author of numerous wellness books including (Enhancing Wellness, and Wellness Practitioner (Book of the Year Award), articles, and a wellness newsletter since 1980, I would say, none of these book are about wellness. They're resources, but don't deal with a total approach that includes nutrition, fitness, environmental sensitivity, life purpose, taking responsibility for self-care, reducing stress. These are all elements of wellness. Without considering all of them, it's not wellness. Wellness tools provide people with the ability to remain well, vibrant and purposeful into old age.
