A Life-Coherent Framework for Health, Healing, and Human Flourishing
From Root Causes to Life-Enabling ActionBy Dr Bichara Sahely
Length8h 29m
About this audiobook
A Life-Coherent Framework for Health, Healing, and Human Flourishing proposes a new integrative framework for understanding health not merely as the absence of disease, but as life-capacity enabled: the real capacity of persons and communities to live, develop, repair, relate, learn, participate, belong, and flourish within the web of life.
The white paper argues that modern health systems remain fragmented when they separate disease from the living conditions through which people suffer, heal, and thrive. It therefore reframes health through the organism–niche relation: the recurrent coupling between living beings and the biological, relational, social, ecological, economic, technological, institutional, and symbolic conditions that sustain or disable life.
