I bought the Kindle version, which doesn't have actual page numbers. That is very inconvenient for me since I need page numbers when using the text as a reference. :( Other than that, I like the book a lot. It's easy to read, keeps my interest nicely, and doesn't ramble on & on about one subject like many textbooks tend to do. There are a lot of references to Florence Nightingale, including her history and contributions to holistic nursing, which I find refreshing; it's a nice way to tie in alternative therapies to traditional therapies.

Amazing work by Barbara Montgomery Dossey that I have endorsed as my Life Bible that has taught me so much wonderful information about how to become a better person, friend, and nurse, to help guide and coach others to their life's purpose and meaning, and to help live their best lives ever!God has blessed me by putting me on this course of becoming a holistic nurse and health wellness nurse coach, to give me peace within myself, so that I may be of better service to His people!Amazingly constructed text!
