In a world that feels more chaotic, disconnected and demanding by the day, author and life coach Mark Reinisch delivers a refreshingly practical and accessible framework for a well-designed life in his new book, The Wellness Ethic: How to Thrive in an Unpredictable World (Where Stupid Things Can Happen).
Backed by science and inspiring, real-world experiences (not just credentials), Reinisch lays out seven essential components — mind, body, spirit, relationships, personal pursuits, professional pursuits and lifestyle maintenance — that form the backbone of what he calls “wellness ethic lifestyle design,” a simple yet powerful concept that empowers readers to build their lives, on their own terms, around what actually brings them joy and fulfillment.
“Lifestyle design is the opposite of running on autopilot, and it is essential to your overall wellbeing,” Reinisch said. “With lifestyle design, the objective is to get to the heart of what you really want in life and then make it your reality.”
What makes Reinisch’s approach stand out from the legions of other self-help books is his remarkably simple approach: the 80/20 rule, also known as the Pareto principle, derived from the work of Italian economist Vilfredo Pareto. It states that approximately 80% of the results (outcomes) are driven by 20% of the actions (inputs).
“When you apply the 80/20 rule to your life, it can be a game changer,” Reinisch said. “For example, the 80/20 rule suggests that 80% of the benefits of spirituality can be attained by embracing the most vital 20% of spiritual practices. Similarly, 80% of the benefits of taking care of your body can be realized by simply adopting the most vital 20% of physical wellness practices. It’s the key to making wellness attainable and sustainable.”
Written to be the antidote to self-help books that are “too damn boring,” The Wellness Ethic is a compelling, fun-to-read book with humor and personal stories that make the wellness concepts spring to life.
“It is the rare self-help book that you won’t be able to put down, unless the sheer bulk of it tires your arms and you drop it,” Reinisch quipped.
