Book Reviews of Quantum Wellness: A Practical and Spiritual Guide to Health and Happiness
Book Review: Oprah's followers
Summary: 1 Stars
I will admit that I have not read the book; however, it seems that people jump on the "band wagon" when Oprah speaks, recommends and experiments with anything. As a life and business coach, I feel people should seek their own path and not follow someone else. Is a 21 day detox healthy and necessary? Spirituality comes from within and on all different levels. If you really care to learn about who you are and make healthy mindful changes, I can certainly recommend highly insightful books. Book Review: Good ideas, not the best guide
Summary: 2 Stars
The biggest problem I have with this book is that it condones a vegan lifestyle. I agree that eating meat these days is not as healthy as it used to be, and that our practices with animals that we eat are not always positive. However, when seeking to achieve "wellness" we should consider the words of doctors, and consider the source of advice we choose to take. Kathy's statement that we absorb the energy of what we eat is based on absolutely nothing. She clearly just thinks that, and speaks it as though it were truth. Our bodies were made to need nutrients from animals. It would be foolish to become a vegan solely on the merit of Kathy's unproven personal ideas. If you really want to learn how to be healthy and happy naturally, I strongly recommend reading Women's Bodies, Women's Wisdom by Dr. Christine Northrup. She has been a vegan, and has gained wisdom from her experience as a doctor and observer of finding health through scientific and holistic approaches. Her books, website, podcast, and newsletter will at least come from a place of experience and openness with ways of living a healthy lifestyle. Book Review: Not too original
Summary: 3 Stars
Having read every book on dieting known to man (or woman) and lots on health too, I thought this book was a bit redundant. I wanted something new. Something i havent' tried before. Something that might actually work this time. Maybe I'm looking for more in one of these books than they are meant to have. However, I have to admit there were some good points in here and if you haven't read too many of this kind of book already, give it a try!Book Review: Helpful, But ...
Summary: 3 Stars
It's good to give up all those "toxic" foods but the substitutes for them are not that economical and I fear that these ideas will help only those who can afford the diet and who don't have a problem with soy. Fine with me if Oprah is recommending it but she has a chef who can not only be creative with ingredients, but who has a generous grocery allowance!Book Review: Inspiring Book
Summary: 3 Stars
This book is inspiring and has some very good lessons in terms of happiness. I bought this book and Saundra Pelletier's "Saddle Up Your Own White Horse" and both really helped in terms of inspiring and empowering. Saddle Up Your Own White Horse: 5 Principles Every Woman Needs to Know
