The new iPersonic Health Coach eBook

Health is not so much a Condition as an Attitude, and it thrives with the Enjoyment of Life.This insight of the Italian Theologian and Philosopher Thomas Aquinas dates from the 13th Century and yet, it is incredibly current! In his blog the Swiss happiness researcher Bruno S. Frey put an excellent point to it: “Recent research provides a clear answer to the question about the correlation between happiness and health: Increased life satisfaction is related to better health and a longer life”. As a matter of fact, the latest research demonstrates: A happy life not only prolongs overall life expectancy by 14% (amounting to 10 years in the industrialized countries!), it also has a substantial impact on physical health. Consequently in this iPersonic eBook we are not only going to deal with the physical aspect of health for your personality type but frequently with the psychological aspect, as well. The fact is that emotional and physical health benefit each other, they are intricately linked.

Therefore, in the matter of health it is a positive development that almost no area of psychological research is as booming and receives as much attention as so called positive psychology. In the early 90s of the last century, a group of psychologists asked themselves why so much attention had been focused on the origin of psychiatric disorders and their elimination by way of therapies, and very little attention had been dedicated to the origin of mental health and the circumstances supporting it. These psychologists wanted to change this, and to that end, began to increasingly dedicate themselves to researching the prerequisites of happiness, contentment, and physical and mental health.
With this knowledge you have the key to substantially improving your physical and mental health level practically in reach. Now it all depends on identifying and acting on the characteristics of your personality type to bring about important and appropriate thought and behavioral changes. Since we begin from different positions, it should be obvious that different strategies apply to each one of us. That is exactly the purpose here.
Health and happiness counselors dealing with these subjects and providing well-meaning advice for the masses are already a-dime-a-dozen. The problem is that—all too frequently—the recipient will only be able to apply a small portion of the offered wisdom for practical applications in his/her everyday life. After all, consultants must address as large an audience as possible and that is naturally at the expense of the individual. On the subject of health, happiness and life-shaping, the individual personality type is crucial for which strategies are suitable and successful, and which are not.
Our new iPersonic HealthCoach eBook is developed with the objective in mind to process general scientific knowledge on the subject of health and happiness for the benefit of individual personality types. With each strategy presented here, you will learn exactly what significance it has for your own personality type. If it has been one of your strengths all along, it’ll be the objective for you to profit from it in your life even more. In case it does not fit in with your preferences, you’ll find out where this could cause problems for your life and health and what a person of your type should watch out for if he/she wants to implement them. You will learn the pre-requisites for health and happiness to use in your every day life—and hopefully end up with a lot more health and happiness!
