If you have found yourself in that stage of your life that you feel you should make your well-being a priority then you should definitely dive into the new book REINVENT THE WHEEL by Megan McNealy.
Especially if you want to have a visual clue on how total well-being looks like then you should definitely examine the Well-being Wheel that the author has invented. The Well-being Wheel has 3 categories (Body, Mind and Spirit) which are then divided in 6 different subcategories for a total well-being. The most fascinating aspect of the book is that after each subcategory there is an interview of an Exceptional Executive (such as John Mackey, the Cofounder and CEO of Whole Foods and Robyn Denholm, CFO of Telstra and Chairman of the Board of Tesla) in which they reveal how they manage their own well-being!

I really enjoyed this & I'm definitely going to work through each chapter again & apply it to my life.
I read this through cover to cover to get an idea of the kinds of things the author wanted the reader to focus on.
She gives an easy to follow, organised guideline where you can pick whichever aspect of your mind/body/spiritual life that you want to focus on at a time. This means that it can be used by those in mental illness states, mixed feelings or just general ‘blah’ moods.
It encourages personal reflection & thought about where you want to be & how you want to feel.
I’m going to work through it & would definitely love to read more of McNealy’s work!
