Wellness is rapidly becoming an issue of great importance in clinical practice. Wellness-centric clinicians look to improve various traits known to be beneficial to patients― traits such as happiness, enthusiasm, resilience, and optimism (referred to as the HERO traits). All of these not only improve global mental wellness, but also offer resilience against stress, depression, and anxiety. Wellness-centric interventions augment both psychopharmacology and traditional psychotherapies, such as CBT.

We start with an in- depth review of the scientific literature and a practical introduction on applying wellness interventions in various clinical settings. Additionally, they offer advice on such beneficial practices as exercise, mindfulness, optimized nutrition, optimized sleep, enhanced socialization, and positive psychology enhancement. A robust resource section offers access to wellness-centric scales and forms developed by the authors.

By way of quick introduction, we are Drs. Saundra and Rakesh Jain, wellness experts who have been researching wellness for the past 25 years. Based on our research, we created WILD 5 Wellness (W5W), which is an effective, scientifically-based wellness program designed to increase your overall level of mental wellness. W5W is one of only three wellness programs that is evidence-based. It’s a self-directed program that’s offered in a workbook format.

We researched W5W as both 30-day and 90-day programs, and we now have two wellness workbooks available on Amazon - KickStart30 and LiveWell90.

KickStart30 is designed to kick start a person’s wellness journey by asking them to participate in specific wellness activities, involving exercise, mindfulness, sleep, social connectedness and nutrition, every day for 30 days. Everything that’s necessary to complete the program is contained in the KickStart30 workbook.

The 90-day program is called LiveWell90. The first 30 days of this program are the same as the KickStart30 program. The actual wellness practices remain the same for months two and three but the frequency of the wellness practices changes. The LiveWell90 workbook contains everything required to complete the program.

People who have completed the program report increased levels of wellbeing. They report having increased levels of happiness, enthusiasm, resilience, and optimism. They also report significant decreases in their levels of depression, anxiety, insomnia, and emotional eating.

Both KickStart30 and LiveWell90 present the proven, evidence-based program the we created to help you improve, nurture, and sustain your overall level of wellbeing. The sole motivation in writing these workbooks was to make scientifically-proven wellness interventions available to as many people as possible, at the most affordable price. The workbooks are priced at the lowest levels allowed. All profits from the sale of the workbooks are donated to mental health charities.
