The Holistic You: Integrating Your Family, Finances, Faith, Friendships, and Fitness
About this book
Boarding an aircraft in Dallas and disembarking 10 hours later in London well fed and rested is not really a triumph of Orville Wright's first flight in December 1903 and neither is it the triumph of Frank Whittle's invention of the turbojet engine 90 years ago. Neither is it the triumph of railway conductor Edwin Drake who made jet fuel possible by striking oil in Titusville, PA, 162 years ago or of the computer that made reservation systems and air traffic control possible. It is really the triumph of connection, of system building. The genius of getting all those components and thousands more all to interact in the right way. That's what makes a comfortable airplane journey possible.Similarly, a successful human life is not the triumph only of remaining healthy or of building a good marriage or of making enough money. It is the result of 5 paramount elements (Faith, Family, Friendship, Finance, and Fitness) of a complex arrangement all interacting as mutually reinforcing components of a successful system. Because no single element is more important than any other, the 5Fs are always presented, not as a list, but as equidistant point on the circumference of a circle, each directly connected to all the other four. Through his innovative 5F programs, seminars, books and courses, Rabbi Daniel Lapin has brought improved life fulfillment to individuals all around the world.
