Dr. Lisa Leit's fundamental HAPPY WHOLE HUMAN® message is "There is a 'WE' in WELLNESS." In other words, relationship health is key to individual and societal well-being. Lisa asserts, “Interpersonal drama, lapses in productivity, self-neglect, overall stress, and dissatisfaction are closely related to imbalances in how we treat ourselves and others.” Why is this so important? Lisa's original research indicates that a shocking 78% of Americans are at least obliviously self-absorbed in their interactions--which translates into imbalances in most relationships that cause many mental, physical and interpersonal problems.
​
By factoring relationship dynamics into the research-based HWH Holistic Wellness Self-Assessment and the corresponding Do-It-Yourself handbook, HAPPY WHOLE HUMAN® provides the most comprehensive conceptualization of wellness to date. Publications include The HAPPY WHOLE HUMAN Handbook (2016), Conversational Narcissism in Marriage (2008, with co-authors Dr. Debby Jacobvitz and Dr. Nancy Hazen-Swann), and entries on both “Communication and Narcissism” and “Narcissism in Marriage” in the International Encyclopedia of Interpersonal Communication.
