The Secret Life of Wellness: The Essential Guide to Life’s Big Questions

Inna Segal. Atria/Beyond Words, $18 (288p) ISBN 978-1-58270-286-5

Spiritual healer Segal (The Secret Language of Your Body), creator of Visionary Intuitive Healing, presents an impressive guidebook to the transformative power of intuition in this interactive tome. Perceptive ability is something we all possess, argues Segal, and fine-tuning its strength can serve as a panacea for much of what ails us. It is a way, she writes, “to live a more peaceful, soulful, healthier life.” Arranged in four parts, each section of the book focuses on a specific area: “Developing Your Intuition and Reclaiming Your Inner Power”; “Mastering Your Soul’s Journey”; “Transforming Your Life’s Relationships”; and “Letting Go.” Every chapter addresses frequently asked questions from Segal’s seminars and practice, such as how to release the adverse emotions that negatively affect physical health, as well as how to boost career success and financial security, raise happier children, and attract a loving partner. Easy-to-follow work maps include self-awareness exercises and visualization techniques for each topic, and scannable QR codes provide further direction via guided imagery, inspirational real-life stories, and Segal’s journal entries. A cover-to-cover read offers the strongest healing impact, but the format of the book allows readers to focus on specific areas for improvement. That accessibility makes this insight-boosting manual a tool that everyone can use. (Sept.)
