A practical manual, designed for use by anyone seeking a fuller, more meaningful life - "life measured by quality and intensity, not quantity" - within the context of everyday demands and distractions. It does not assume any formal belief system or religious affiliation on the part of the reader, although it draws inspiration from a wide range of world faiths.

The journey to spiritual health can start at any point, and the twelve steps of this book do not have to be followed in a strict sequence, provided that readers are willing to be led out of their familiar comfort zones at some point. The journey can be undertaken alone, or by groups of like-minded people as a shared exercise. Each chapter ends with questions for individual reflection or group discussion.
