- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Read from October 21 to 25, 2013As a certified wellness instructor of this Stanford University program, I value the extensive material supporting the weekly class topics. This manual moves the learning from corporate class time to a personal resource.Exercises can be tailored to individual ability and needs to accomodate various chronic conditions. Distraction techniques and relaxation methods, reproduceable goal planning forms included for the major action planning tool in the self-management program, visual meal planning a further help to our well-known Canada Food Guide. The value of prayer and gratitude in living well are not overlooked. Exercises are described and diagrams provided for flexibility, strength, endurance, and balance.Communication to enable increased understanding of chronic conditions with friends and family, managing medicines, and future planning, are all valuable lessons included in the manual, for anyone living with chronic conditions or caregiving someone who is.
