Good start on Wellness July 21, 2008
I just finished the "Quantum Cleanse", one component of this book, last Friday. I heard about the book from both Oprah and Dooce. I really liked it, but in different ways than either Oprah or Dooce. The cleanse is really one small part of balancing your life and becoming more spiritual and happy. (Although I did lose 6 lbs! WOOHOO!)

And in the more eastern tradition, this is NOT a step by step "how to" process in self-improvement. It's a suggestion about how to find the right path for you to develop into what you should be. There is scant real information on how to do the cleanse and more suggestions on figuring it out for yourself. (for example, some of the vegan meals and recipes cited in the back are NOT cleanse appropriate).

Still, I like the holistic yet slow focus on getting on the right path for you. Seriously, it's an inspirational book on getting healthier, happier and making yourself whole.

Great ideas....but confusing recipes July 16, 2008
This book is a great tool for incorporating many aspects of health in a simple, go-at-your-own-pace sort of way. I appreciate the many ideas that are presented regarding easing into meditation and the nutritional information that is provided.

My one problem with this book, is that although Kathy urges a vegan/gluten free lifestyle, few of the recipes are actually gluten free. I am already a gluten free vegan, and it is always a relief when you can find some great recipes. I was really hoping to do so with this book. However, alot of the recipes contain gluten and other substances I thought she felt were 'toxic'. I'm not sure WHY this happened, but it leaves the reader feeling like she's a little lax, or simply not concerned about finding real recipes that represent her point of view. For me, that was disappointing. If you have celiac disease or need to be wheat/gluten free for any reason, you are going to need to make your own substitutions here. If you are not any of those, but hoping to follow the guidelines from her book, you are being misled by thinking that these recipes ARE in fact incorporating all the ideas she presented in earlier chapters. I'm left confused. I gave it a 3 star rating however, b/c the majority of the book is NOT recipes, and provides some very good advice and makes for a joyful read.

Total Fluff July 14, 2008
1 out of 4 found this review helpful

Nothing new here, and not much actual content, just a lot of fluff. A truly terrible book! I'm sorry I wasted the money.

So far so good... July 12, 2008
I have always believed in the Karmic equasion of everything one does. This book reinforces that.

Highly recommended for community library self-help collections July 9, 2008
To be well is more than the absence of illness. "Quantum Wellness: A Practical and Spiritual Guide to Health and Happiness", by New York Times bestselling author Kathy Freston, is a comprehensive manual on the subject. With advice on how to eat a balanced diet, how to make even the most stressful job slightly less intimidating, and how to stay positive about one's body image, Quantum Wellness deals head-on with the problems that dwell in one's mind. "Quantum Wellness: A Practical and Spiritual Guide to Health and Happiness" is highly recommended for community library self-help collections.
