Description
The fear of death may translate into the desire for longevity.
However, longevity is a true blessing only if it is coupled with good health.
Healthiness, in today's expectation, is not simply a disease free state.
Rather, it is very much a state of wellbeing and competence, both physically and socially.
While Oriental medicine emphasizes on the promotion of physiological balance and internal balance as an integral requirement for longevity, other cultures also have various sophisticated concepts and orientations.
This book successfully collates all the different views and approaches from Austria, Russia, China and Japan in the exploration of Health, Wellbeing, Competence and Aging.
