Wellness in general, and mind–body wellness in particular, is no longer at the fringes of academia. Many degrees and certificates with a wellness emphasis are being developed at universities and colleges all over the world. Now, more than ever, students yearn to know more about how to increase their own sense of mental and physical wellness, as well as that of family, friends, and clients. Academic courses in mind–body wellness typically explore the dynamic interaction between our minds and physical bodies, with a focus on behaviors, techniques, and approaches that impact the development and maintenance of health and well-being. Such classes also address the ways in which our assumptions and beliefs about the interconnection of mind and body relate to how we view health and illness. This evidence-based text is designed to support learning, self-reflection, and behavior change in such courses by exploring how human well-being is related to dimensions of mind–body wellness.
The healthcare sector is growing, with more than 2.5 million more jobs expected through 2030. However, the face of healthcare is changing, with conventional medicine commonly being supplemented by mind–body wellness approaches. These approaches broadly include healthy eating, fitness promotion, mindfulness practices, stress management, workplace wellness, mental health promotion, and more. This growing industry sector generates trillions in revenues, and students in relevant programs require appropriate science-based training to promote wellness in a variety of settings.
As popular as the field of wellness is in contemporary discourse, it is particularly subject to misinformation, disinformation, and pseudoscience. Emotional appeals, presentation of information that “looks and sounds scientific,” suspicion about the motives of the medical and pharmaceutical establishments, social media marketing disguised as wellness, and cognitive biases toward “natural” and “alternative” solutions to ill health are all reasons why people can be deceived by the pseudoscientific aspects of wellness culture. Becoming a more critical consumer of information can help us wade through the complexities of how wellness culture is marketed to us.
The textbook begins with an overview of the mind–body connection, approaches to defining wellness, and what wellness means to people. Subsequent chapters cover the foundational topics relevant to training in this field, such as science vs pseudoscience, daily hassles, environmental wellness, wellness in relationships, spirituality, and wellness programming. The book ends with consideration of how mind–body wellness can not only impact our personal well-being but also societal well-being.
The promise of mind–body wellness is not guaranteed, even when we focus extensively on improving it. As you will discover through this text, focusing on our health and wellness is more involved than you may think, and yet focusing on improving wellness can bring positive changes to our lives. Our minds and our bodies are intricately connected and supporting one often positively impacts the other. Living in wellness is a journey—we will have successes, and we’ll have moments where we fall short of our goals—yet the process of thriving and flourishing in all parts of life is so worth it.
