Quantum Wellness: A Practical and Spiritual Guide to Health and Happiness

This book is about approaching one's life holistically, and about the little steps one can take that lead to big changes.

I'm not normally one to read self-help books, especially those written by people with no professional qualifications, especially those that give off even a whiff of New Age anythingness. So I'm not the target audience for this book.

I bought it for one reason only: Her book includes a 21-day cleanse diet. Two years ago I wanted to go on a detox cleansing diet, but I couldn't find any information about how to do so on the Internet or at the library. I didn't do well on my own, as quiting caffeine cold turkey just about killed me (or so it felt). Well, I should have checked Quantum Wellness out a bit closer first, show more because a cleanse is not a cleanse is not a cleanse. Her cleanse is a vegan cleanse. Do I want a vegan cleanse? I don't think so. Her information in this whole section is incredibly vague and incomplete. She instructs readers to just quit this long list of "bad" things, but doesn't give any tips on how to do it safely. My experience with trying to quit caffeine showed me clearly that not everyone can just quit. Besides, do I want to quit caffeine? So many healthy reports praise its benefits. And she doesn't mention quiting salt, which is a major contributor to Western disease. And her suggested diet is full of soy, but isn't soy a genetically modified crop? In the end I was more confused than enlightened.

As for the rest of the book, it didn't really speak to me, but I suppose it wasn't too egregious. show less

Meditation, visualization, spiritual eating.... I love this stuff! She's also got an excellent way to think about creating the right balance in our lives that I think is really going to help me. :)

Eat vegan and you'll feel more at peace and balance your life better. And really miss Skyline and Graeter's. Which will surely upset your peace and balance. ;)
Very much like The Secret, which sounds good but a little too simplistic.

Helpful--nice approach to "leaning into" newer, healthier, habits.

Kathy Freston, figura mediática y autora de gran éxito en Estados Unidos, llega por primera vez a nuestro país con Bienestar cuántico, un libro que aborda la salud y la felicidad desde una perspectiva muy personal. A diferencia de otros títulos, la autora no exige grandes modificaciones en el modo de vida ni aferrarse a un complejo plan. Basándose en la perspectiva cuántica, invita al lector a empezar por un pequeño cambio que pueda llevar a cabo sin esfuerzo. Puesto que todo está interconectado, ese mínimo gesto afectará todos los aspectos de la persona: físico, mental y espiritual. Para ayudar en el proceso, propone sencillos ejercicios e intuitivas preguntas que impulsen al lector a tomar pequeñas decisiones en aspectos show more como la alimentación, las relaciones, el propio cuerpo, la práctica espiritual... Todo ello mediante herramientas como el ejercicio, la visualización, la meditación o el trabajo personal. Sólo hay que dar el primer paso. Basta una elección consciente, dice Kathy Freston, y la magia cuántica empieza a actuar. show less
