As the founders of the US republic make clear in the Declaration of Independence, human beings have an unassailable right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. While the meaning of these “unalienable rights” is debated, it is clear that these rights are interrelated. Concerned with these “rights,” Holistic Happiness focuses on happiness, defining the purpose of life as achieving and maintaining happiness “conducive to the equitable flourishing of all.” To this end, happiness should not be confused with pleasure, which is momentary and transitory, for happiness is not so much a feeling as an attitude, associated with what we call achieving meaning and purpose in life. Properly understood, happiness can be achieved, but only by inner discipline, requiring a transformation of one’s outlook, attitude, and approach to life. As this book emphasizes, good health is an important foundation for happiness. However, to experience and maintain good health requires good genes, a balanced lifestyle, supportive companions, wholesome eating and drinking, regular exercise, a positive mindset, an active disposition, and good fortune. While happiness and good health are frequently disrupted by accidents, disease, stress, chemical and emotional imbalance, and numerous other factors, wellness is achievable and sustainable, but it needs balanced input from an individual’s four constituent dimensions: physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual. In this regard, this volume is a resource for individuals seeking holistic happiness. While benefitting from recent scholarly research, Holistic Happiness is unique in content and conception and is useful for individual or group study. Each chapter concludes with questions suitable for discussion or reflection.

Exploring age-old beauty and well-being traditions as well as the latest scientific findings on skin cells, this book--and the products and treatments it recommends--is the result of 15 years of research and experience. Jean-Louis Poiroux, founder of Cinq Mondes Spas, describes how the subtle interactions between body, mind, and skin can create a state of perfect equilibrium--and a feeling of outer and inner happiness, down to our very cells--or a state of imbalance, caused by unsuitable foods, stress, and cosmetics containing industrial byproducts and other chemicals. Drawing on the ancient teachings of Ayurveda and incorporating yoga, breathing exercises, and meditation as well as the natural active ingredients and micronutrients found in raw foods, super fruits, and vegetable super oils, he teaches you how to become happier, both inside and out.

Nowadays everyone appears to be stressed - at home and at work. Families, friends, coworkers, bosses, health, and finances often seem to add stress to our lives that stops us from enjoying what we have. Stress affects not only our emotions and thought processes, but also our physical health and general well-being. Depression and anxiety are on the rise and half of all Americans are projected to face mental challenges at some point in their lives. For many decades, medication and psychotherapy have been the way to go to treat psychological issues. If we look deeper we will see that we are treating symptoms rather than the cause of the problem, which seems to be the norm in Western medicine. An increasing number of studies and health care providers point out the importance of nutrition and exercise, not only for our physical but also for our mental health. There is a strong body-brain connection, and if we do not feed our bodies well, we also starve our brains, leading to mood disorders, dysfunctional thought patterns, and cognitive impairment. If we do not take care of our physical health, our mental health is going to suffer just the same. This book offers an overview of how unhealthy diet, lack of self-care, toxic relationships, chronic stress, negative thought processes, and a lack of spirituality affect us physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually and how to achieve more health and happiness by establishing balance in our lives. The goal of this book is to help readers change their life by making happiness a choice and learning how to make healthy yet simple food selections, improve self-care, deal with stress, control their thoughts and feelings, and simply enjoy their life.
