Lecture Notes

The fourth dimension of health is social health, and this refers to the ability to interact effectively with others, even when those others are different from us. In the picture here you see some people playing cards with who you presume to be their friends. That and having meaningful, positive relationships with friends and family in your life, those are all examples of having positive social health. The fifth dimension is spiritual health, and here we're talking about your soul, or your spirit, and this isn't necessarily tied to religion, but instead is tied to the belief that we're part of something that is larger or bigger than ourselves, and often results in feelings of compassion for others and a sense for right and wrong.
