Important links exist between physical, emotional, and mental health, and spirituality. A mature and effective spiritual life has major benefits in all these areas, including longevity, resistance to disease, and greater happiness. This book demonstrates how spirituality is good for you and good for the world. It explores a number of ways in which a vibrant and healthy spirituality enables people to live longer, happier lives, contribute to society, and avoid much of the discontent that is rife in our consumerist society. ""Wellness is an excellent review of current knowledge about the links between physical, emotional and mental health and spirituality, emphasizing the whole person - body, mind, soul, and spirit.""
