An Invitation to Health

An Invitation to Health, 20th Edition, provides an introduction to personal wellness across physical, emotional, social, and sexual dimensions. Written as a foundational textbook, it is designed to help students adopt healthier lifestyle practices both now and in the future.

The text incorporates current research on happiness, mental health, and anxiety alongside integrated coverage of the COVID-19 pandemic. Readers also examine broad public health trends through recent statistics on life expectancy and mortality.

In addition, the work includes active learning strategies focused on preventive measures and wellness habits. These exercises guide students in implementing practical, small-scale changes that can lead to significant personal health benefits.
