Full of wisdom, this book is a must for anyone who wishes to have a more healthy lifestyle. The book is broken up into three chunks--spirit, mind, and body. The spirit section focuses on prayer and religious service (in Smith's Christian setting, this means church). The mind section focuses on de-cluttering, forgiveness, laughter, and more. The body section focuses on diet, exercise, essential oils, sleep, and hydration. Each chunk has 10 chapters, most of which are about 5 pages, which makes for a quick read. At the end of each chapter are questions for the reader to journal respond, as well as a guided prayer. Since Smith is a Christian, there are copious references to Jesus and quotations from the Bible. Smith balances religion with intentional living quite well. While some would say God can heal any ailment, Smith argues that God "will not bless food eaten in hell's kitchen" and that people can not pray themselves from a size 24 to a size 4. This isn't meant to discount spirituality--there is a whole section of the book devoted to spirituality--but rather to teach readers that they have their own responsibility in this life. God loves humans, I believe, but sometimes we have to learn from our mistakes. If someone can eat candy all day long and never get cavities, how can they learn to eat sweets in moderation?
