What people are saying about the book!
"This book is a refreshing
departure from
the trite formulas and slogans of today's health hucksters. It is an
in-depth
look at the meaning of health and how to acheive it, in all its nuanced
expressions. THE SPIRIT AND SCIENCE OF HOLISTIC HEALTH is a significant
contribution. This book should be tattooed on the brain of every
health-care
professional in the land."

"Health Promotion is all too often viewed
and practiced
as a dull, paternalistic effort to control behavior and avoid disease.
What a freshly, new perspective Karen Carrier and Jon Robison bring in
their book, THE SPIRIT AND SCIENCE OF HOLISTIC HEALTH. Informed by the
latest science as well as their rich, practical experiences, these
pioneers
present a much richer and more effective way to improve health.
Holistic
Health Promotion replaces disease with joy, fear with meaning, and
external
control with inner trust. Their recipe for health will reach many
people
who have been turned off and abused by the current health facism with
its
relentless focus on the 'perfect' body, avoiding 'bad' foods, and
regimens
in which people are urged to deny pleasure to enjoy health. What a
relief!"

"I don't believe any book in the field of
health promotion
can match the one you hold in your hands for a comprehensive
understanding
of the changes taking place in our time in history, and how they will
influence
our thinking in this important vocation. Do yourself a great big favor
- read carefully and savor the wisdom within the following pages. This
book has the capacity to change your life in wonderful and
serendipitous
ways."
