Dr. Kathleen Halls’ books cover topics such as her views on mindful living, as well as her journey from working on Wall Street, to later where she single-handedly created an institute for mind-body and complementary medicine.
Her first book, ‘A Life in Balance: Nourishing the Four Roots of True Happiness’, describes her journey from working on Wall Street to creating an institute for mind-body, complementary medicine. This book won the 2007 Nautilus Book Award. Her second book ‘Alter Your life’ shares a candid view on mindful living that requires no doctrines or trekking off to distant lands. Later, in 2010 Dr Kathleen Hall emerged with her third book entitled ‘Uncommon H.O.P.E.’ which is a prescription on how to enjoy a rich life of mindful living. Her latest book is entitled Mindful Living Everyday, which is a revised and updated edition based on her 1995 book, Alter Your Life.

“One of the better self-help books that I have read, it includes sections on Happiness and Health, Seasons of Your Life, Focusing Inward for Happiness, Stress and Stress Busting, Poisons that Kill the Roots of Your Happiness (fear, anger, hate, pessimism, apathy, greed, etc.), Establishing Serenity, Exercise and it’s Gift to Your Body and Spirit, Love and Intimacy, and Nourishment. It is all about Mindful Living with purpose and balance.”

Once you read her formula for achieving happiness and re-discovering passion in your life, the truth will set you free!”

In this breakthrough book readers will discover how to overcome obstacles and learn how to integrate Mindful Living into every facet of your life..”

“Dr. Hall’s book, Alter Your Life, teaches you how to maximize the simple moments in your life to be the most rewarding.

Alter Your Life, Overbooked? Overworked? Overwhelmed? offers tools to help us find our own unique choices that will bring greater balance and happiness to your demanding life.”

“Aristotle’s famous work, the Nicomachean Ethics, was written to provide us with a blueprint for living “a life worth living.” I suspect that Aristotle, if he were living today, would also approve of her work; he was, after all, that most practical and commonsensical of philosophers. His Ethics was a manual on how to put together a “good life” through the practice of the virtues; hers (Dr. Hall’s) is a manual on how to deal with the stresses of this contemporary world or, if you will, how to live a “good life” through the practice of intentional living in spite of the stresses surrounding us. I think Aristotle and Dr. Hall would have gotten along famously.”
Dr. Jonathan Dolhenty June 10, 2019
“Alter Your Life is not your regular self-help inspirational book. It is practical, engaging and powerfully life-changing. Unlike other self-help books that focus on the goals you’d like to create for your life, Dr. Hall provides a different angle of everyday activities, so you’d be able to alter your perspectives, which are the key of lifetime joy and happiness. ”

“Alter Your Life is flawlessly written, well edited, and the information is presented in a format readers can actually apply to their lives. Blissfully devoid of double-speak, Dr. Hall’s self-help masterpiece is not your mama’s promise-you-the-world, but give you zilch. Dr. Kathleen Hall has devised a sound, step by step, non-dogmatic approach to changing your life without having to surrender all your worldly goods, give up your job, or move to the mountains.”
BookReview.com June 16, 2019
“Alter Your Life is packed full of easy to implement ideas that will improve your daily experiences and shift your perspective to one of intentional living. For anyone who is looking for a change in his or her life, this is the one book you must read. With her simple but effective approach, Hall will inspire you.”

“A Life in Balance is an easy-to-read, optimistic manual-which balances personal anecdotes, brief summaries of scientific research, spiritual pep talks and simple checklists-often states the obvious. We’re stressed out and we live in fear. Hall conveys credibility and sincerity as an adviser. Her work is lucid, sincere and comprehensive.”
Kirkus Discoveries June 16, 2019
“A Life in Balance gives us the four roots for attaining lasting happiness . These roots are freshly revealed in understanding, exciting style. This is a complete motivating guide to keep the roots of your life well nourished.”
Mindquest Review June 16, 2019
“Kathleen Hall found great success in her life but had yet to identify a real purpose and meaning to it: her survey of relationships between mind, body and spirit results in a guide which blends in teachings from the world’s great spiritual thinkers with insights on health and lasting happiness. Chapters discuss how to create and foster calm and serenity in daily life, use exercise to restore health and energy, and understand the impact of food choices on mental and physical well-being. “
