THE BOOK OF WELLNESS

A Secular Approach to Spirituality, Meaning & Purpose

Donald B. Ardell, Ph.D.

Is it possible that your fitness level, the quality of your diet, your sense of humor, your capacity for modifying stress, your ability to fashion and sustain a satisfying and healthftil lifestyle are all connected to a deeper psychological variable'? Dr. Ardell says, "Yes! Without question!"

As America's leading advocate of wellness, Dr. Ardell urges physicians and health promoters to spend less energy promoting fitness, nutrition, and stress management, and a lot more effort encouraging people to ponder the meaning and purpose of their lives. He provides specific tips from 100 of America's top health and wellness leaders for discovering and enjoying meaning and purpose at work and elsewhere; valuable check lists and assessments for addressing "spirituality" without religion dogmas, or creeds; and examples of activities that can nurture an environment in which people are comfortable exploring their ideas, concerns, feelings. and impressions. Once you realize that there is no meaning of life you can begin to create, invent, and discover exciting purposes that give your work, life, and play its own special meaning. He'll also help you organize an approach or mind-set for doing just that!

Donald B. Ardell, Ph.D. (Orlando, FL), author of High LeveI Wellness, The Meaning of Life: A Wellness View; and his quarterly Ardell Wellness Report is professor of education at the University of Central Florida and a sought after speaker on wellness.
