My Ratings- 3/5 stars
Blurb-
In a world with increasing stress, lifestyle imbalance, new age challenges and health hazards, ‘wellness’ is the new God everyone’s seeking. While adults have infinite choices and options to course-correct paths, the young adults, though have increasing incidences of mental and physical health challenges, have little or almost no aids to holistic health and wellness. With increasing juvenile obesity and depression hitting the teens, there is a dire need to address the same. The book is based on addressing just that in a contemporary, light-hearted fashion. Split into 3 sections: Mind, Body and Spirit, the book offers truths in each category that seed the idea of wellness in a fun and engaging way. What better than a ready reckoner for young adults to get by their highly stressful daily lives in a more meaningful, healthier and stimulating manner. A companion of sorts, the book aims at delivering well-being to the troubled young souls. “The reason why this book is close to my heart is because as a Life Skills Coach, I work extensively with teens as well as tweens. Doing so requires an understanding of their Mind, Body, Spirit. This is the area in which this wonderful book serves an important purpose. It offers an integrated, holistic approach to every aspect of young peoples’ Wellness issues. Neera is an author whom I admire greatly. This exhaustive book is a much- needed compendium of critical information. I have no doubt it will meet huge success.” – Ms Neelam Kumar (Life Skills Coach and Author)
My take-
The book is short read and can be finished in a single sitting. As the name suggests, there are 150 brilliant ideas that are very useful to the young generation especially we can say teenagers. The author has covered almost all the aspects that can affect the life of teenagers. There are certain advices and certain motivational ideas. The author has divided them into three categories. In first part, there are 50 advices related to body, in second part, there are 50 advices related to mind and in third part, there are 50 advices related to spirit. If we look around in teenagers, they have a complex regarding how they look. About their hairs, face, figure, acne etc. and these things along with the pressure of studies leads to anxiety and depression. So these little tips are useful to the kids as well as their parents also because for parents, it’s really difficult to raise a teenager. If we talk about the book, all the concept are simple so young mind can read and easily interpret. The book is written in simple and easily understandable language so that everyone can enjoy it. I was expecting more the technique part rather than just mentioning concept. Like author should have included examples and exercise that can motivate the reader that would be helpful. Overall good one for teenagers.
