The Complete Guide to Wellness: Healthy People Make the Best Employees

The Complete Guide to Wellness is the culmination of over 20 years of applied research in over 100 companies. The materials in this book were first tested in hospital settings under physician supervision and were later implemented in companies with leading behavioral psychologists and organizational change experts. The training modules contained in this book have been used successfully by hundreds of thousands of employees in companies such as AT&T, Southwestern Bell, and Ford Motor Company. The results from these interventions have been published in numerous journals including the Journal of the American Medical Association. This book incorporates recent findings from behavioral medicine, cultural medicine, organizational behavior, and medical research.

The Complete Guide to Wellness includes all the reproducible materials you need to run either a self-study or group program on any of the topics covered. The Lifestyles Possibilities Assessment is a full-screen assessment that correlates to the workshop, so you know which topic is the most important to start with.
