A holistic and healthy life is a broad concept that encompasses physiological, psychological, and spiritual aspects. What makes us human lies in this; what we strive to forge in university is also this. Although one's major may vary, the pursuit of a holistic and healthy life is a shared journey. University life is filled with romance and beauty, but also with thorns and hidden currents. Remember that all of this is life's initial challenges to you, a rehearsal for the next stage of life. If you uphold the belief of cultivating a holistic and healthy life and break through obstacles, what you gain will far exceed what you lose. In this book, we will guide you in the methods to forge a holistic and healthy life.
Chapter 1 explores the meaning of health; Chapters 2 and 3 respectively elaborate on the methods of achieving health in terms of the body and mind; Chapter 4 explains how to cope with crises in university life; and Chapter 5 further discusses the meaning of the so-called "holistic life" and the methods to attain it. In reality, the pursuit of a holistic and healthy life is a timeless topic for wise and philosophical minds, and it is also an endless one. What we have done is merely to share some experiences of passersby, merely to make a few dots on a blank sheet. Around these dots, there is still a vast space that needs to be filled with your personal experiences. We believe you can, in the four years of your university life, draw a magnificent landscape on this sheet. This painting is the beautiful blueprint of your life. May a beautiful lily bloom in your heart every day.
