Laura Harris Smith focuses on the spirit, mind, body connection in her latest book. Divided into these three sections, Smith asserts that health in all three areas of life are what make for a well-rounded healthy lifestyle. Easy, accessible action steps in each chapter address various areas of health and improved lifestyle.
The premise of this book is on point. Healthy Living involves all aspects of life. And there were some shining moments in this book. The best section of this book really is found in the focus on spiritual disciplines: prayer, meditation, etc. Smith speaks with powerful conviction and clarity about one's spiritual life. However, much of what was shared in the mind and body section is repeated information. Advice like clearing away clutter, drinking more water, and eat your vegetables has been around for some time and is quite well known.
This book was a mixed bag. Much of the reading is good advice. Combining all three areas in complete health is the perfect combination for healthy living. However, where Smith falters is in her simplicity of the mind and body sections. For one starting out this healthy living journey, this is a great starting point, but it doesn't offer much for those walking this path for awhile.
