Design a Life That Works: New Book Offers a
Blueprint for Living With Purpose in a World That (Often)
Makes No Sense
CHICAGO - 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.”
The Wellness Ethnic is
NOT a typical self-help book. Reinisch isn’t a
Harvard-educated psychologist or a multi-millionaire living
a charmed life. Reinisch is relatable, vulnerable and
hilarious as he simplifies complex wellness topics like
mind, body, spirit and relationships to make wellness
accessible, actionable and engaging.
So, what is a “wellness ethic”?
“It means you’re committed to wellness
because you know that it improves your life and makes the
world better,” Reinisch explained, adding, “When you have a
wellness ethic, you thrive no matter how unpredictable the
world gets.”
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.
