As we go through life, the challenges and changes we meet can either help us move forward, or undermine our health and resilience – often without our even noticing. The purpose of this unique guide is to discover a way not just to survive the knocks in life, but to positively thrive and enhance well-being on every level.
The Heart of Well-being is a beautifully illustrated self-help book with inspiring audio CDs to enable us to be more in touch with and responsive to how we feel – physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually. The information, CD tracks and simple, practical exercises will help you to recover, protect and improve personal well-being, in order to:
- feel energetic and well
- cope with worry, stress, change and loss
- develop and sustain healthy relationships
- improve self-confidence and self-care
- discover personal fulfilment and meaning in life
