De l’avis de l’auteur, cette redéfinition pourrait à elle seule soulager une partie de la souffrance actuelle du système de santé, et ce parce qu’elle permettrait d’élargir le modèle de prévention et d’inclure la composante émotive de l’être humain. Deux principaux thèmes sont abordés de façon très générale et succincte, soit la santé physique et la santé émotive.
