Overview

Health of the Human Spirit, Second Edition: Spiritual Dimensions for Personal Health is a thoughtful examination of the ageless topic of human spirituality. It addresses the need to acknowledge spiritual wellness as a vital dimension of the general health and well-being of the individual and examines the dynamic balance between mind-body-spirit health and the roadblocks and distractions on the spiritual path. 

Dr. Seaward includes many behavioral suggestions to enhance the health of the human spirit.  He presents the material in an approachable, user-friendly manner by engaging the reader and carefully distinguishing the differences between spirituality and religion.

  • “ I am delighted that Dr. Seaward’s book, Health of the Human Spirit, is now in its second edition as I have used it as a foundational text in my 4th year Health of The Human Spirit class for the last seven years. There continues to be a paradigm shift in higher education regarding the study of human spirituality and this text helps to fill a very important void. Students are hungry for curriculum that leads to deeper meaning in their life’s and adds hope to a world in turmoil. I know of no other text quite like this one on the market that provides both an interdisciplinary approach for this topic and at the same time is imminently practical with many suggestions for further practice and investigation.”

    -Professor Les Malbon, Faculty of  Sport Health and  Physical Education, Vancouver Island University

  • "I am so happy that Health of the Human Spirit is being released as a second edition! I continue to get desk copies of books that I might want to use in my class, Invitation to Holistic Health, Integrative Health Promotion....no one integrates spirit like Dr. Seaward does; simply and realistically."
