I’ve reduced the Seven Dimensions of Wellness to merely three. I’ve done this for two reasons. First, I’ve harbored a strong sense that there are three for years and it’s time to publish and further develop the sense. Second, seven is too many; seriously, as a general rule, keep your lists to cascaded sets of 3-5.
I use this order for no other reason than it sounds best. I want you to like and remember this more than I care if it’s in suggested order of importance or alphabetical order. Furthermore, the three dimensions are not mutually exclusive; they’re more like the complex plane than any euclidian; if I knew the appropriate characteristic names I could sound smarter, oh well. This’ll do for now. I’ll revisit this topic later and spruce up the mess.
