This book explores six specific areas of personal wellbeing, all of them well worth addressing, but in my own life, some clearly more so than others. In a few sections of this book, I was already conscious of how little wellbeing I was experiencing, and Dave Smith’s encouragements and challenges were helpful. For that reason alone, I’m glad I read and interacted with the material in this book. But that said, I found the contents of this book a bit uneven. Perhaps that’s related to the fact that some sections felt more personally relevant than others, but not entirely. Some pages just didn’t seem to delve that deep, offering little to chew on. But I got enough out of what I read on other pages to make reading this book worthwhile.
Good stuff - a good mix of psychology, scripture, and experience on well-being across various life areas (emotional, spiritual, financial, physical, relational, and vocational). We used it as a basis for a weekly group discussion & has been really valuable to gather & dig into these topics, learn from one another, and see God’s goodness.
