The Holistic You: Integrating Your Family, Finances, Faith, Friendships, and Fitness

Rabbi Daniel and Susan Lapin’s The Holistic You reveals how you can build a happier, more successful life by integrating all 5 areas of your life – faith, family, friendships, finances, and fitness – rather than viewing them as competing or sequential projects. It demonstrates how to defeat false ideas that the culture projects into us about sex, money, friendships, faith and health, both mental and physical, which imperil our life satisfaction.

The Holistic You book and companion workbook introduce the Lapins’ powerful “5F” system, demonstrating how progress in one area can strengthen all the others. You’ll learn how to stop feeling stretched thin and start creating a life where everything works together.

Drawing on timeless Jewish wisdom, the book challenges common cultural myths about money, relationships, health, and purpose—and replaces them with practical, time-tested strategies for living with clarity, peace, and fulfillment. An indispensable roadmap to living a fulfilled and balanced life in a world that often does its best to prevent just that, The Holistic You: Integrating Your Family, Finances, Faith, Friendships, and Fitness is perfect for anyone hoping to improve their ability to maintain a connection with what really matters in life.

Praise for The HOLISTIC YOU:

“All the wealth data indicates that to create sustainable wealth and a great life, the Whole You must be involved. In this latest stroke of genius Rabbi Daniel and Susan Lapin have written a readable, wisdom- packed, and applicable book for everyone. The Holistic You is definitely Dave Ramsey recommended.”

―Dave Ramsey, Bestselling Author

“Our lost and lonely society needs more books like this one. The Lapins have that rare talent for bridging the old and the new and making multidirectional connections that bring both clarity and insight. They effortlessly glide from familiar modern references to time-tested religious and philosophical writings, from laying out commonsense truths to nuanced exegesis on the ‘permanent principles’ of the Bible. And they make all of it accessible, practical and personal. Most importantly, their premise here is exactly right: if we want to live a fulfilling life, we must take a holistic approach to our lives. All of us were designed to enjoy the full potential of the life God’s given us, and this book offers some important guidance on how to do just that.”

―Jeremy Boreing, Co-Founder of The Daily Wire

“The truths Rabbi and Susan Lapin present in The Holistic You have the power to change your life. If you will give equal attention to all of the five F’s they discuss―family, finance, friendship, faith and fitness―your life will be balanced. Earlier in my life, I was focused on ministry―to the detriment of some of those other critical components. With God’s help, I began to see the whole picture and, over the years, have counseled leaders not to make the same mistake. Through stories, statistics and ancient Jewish wisdom, The Holistic You drives home the message that ignoring any one of these components is like trying to play baseball without a bat. The Lapins’ approach to holistic living makes sense and will add ‘life’ to your years.”
