How to Improve the Quality of Your Life?

by Joseph Adrien Emmanuel Demes

Trying to make lasting changes in your life can be a frustrating experience. This groundbreaking improvement book uses continuous quality improvement methods and values to help you create the life you want!

Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI) methods have been used in the health-care system for decades. They are effective and efficient ways of implementing major changes and ensuring dramatic results.

Dr. Joseph Adrien Emmanuel Demes has created an innovative guide that transfers the principles of CQI methodology from health care to personal development. The same methods that have allowed professionals to systematically assess success and improvement can be used to change all aspects of your life.

Dr. Demes, in his dual roles as a medical doctor and spiritual leader, has found a revolutionary way to help you live the life you were meant to. He combines in a unique and comprehensive strategy the scientific with the spiritual.

Dr. Demes believes in a holistic approach to improving everyone’s quality of life.

His new book will teach you how to do the following:

• Assess the quality of your life
• Use causal analysis to examine your current life challenges
• Prioritize your life
• Reflect on your goals and values
• Implement small changes
• Add a spiritual element to your journey
• Achieve your dreams
• Plan for a more successful and fulfilling existence
• Acquire the practices for transforming your life physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and relationally

Each new topic includes practical exercises that help you use scientific methodology to work toward self-betterment and contentment.

[Lynda · Rating 5 out of 5]

I am impressed by the quality of the work realized. I have been looking for a new and interesting manual, and I have found a lovely book. Some people oppose the scientific, the rational approach to spirituality, the author shows that you could mix the two approaches. Dr. Joseph Adrien Demes considers the human being in its entirety (the physical, the mental, the emotional, spiritual, and relational aspect). It is a comprehensive vision to enjoy a better quality of life and well-being. Besides, it is a blend of sociology (Parsons social actions theory), psychology, process/system improvement, and values.

I particularly like the Dr. Demes life evaluation questionnaire. This book has great cognitive tools to help you live in the present and to remain hopeful

[Romania Jean · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book has a strong foundation: it's rooted in love, faith, humility, giving, forgiving, altruism, surrender, and joy. It shows you how to improve the quality of your life by diagnosing the problems of your life, assessing your life situation, setting priority, planning, testing changes in our life, and celebrating the small victory in our growth journey. The framework developed in the book help you to improve your life in a holistic manner by focusing on your whole being.

When I try to get the essence of the book, I could say the book is grounded in Truth (Not the Truth that changes from one generation to another but everlasting Truth)

Dr. Demes has shown in this book how to use the quality improvement notions of the health system in personal life and the adaptation has been well done. This book deserves to be read by everyone, it is a necessary tool for the development of all that lives.

To know God

Great book, highly Recommended. This book is the best book that I had found, as I thought to myself years ago, is their anyone else out there, and found one. May God bless you Dr.

[Clare McCansey · Rating 2 out of 5]

It took me a while to get into this book, but it wasn't the story's fault, I think it was the translation. It felt very cold and didn't draw me into the amazing story that was unfolding right underneath the completely passionless words. But once I got used to that, the story was incredible.

This book is a combination of continuous quality improvement methods, system improvement, spirituality in order to live a joyful, and fulfilling life.
A good read for everyone

[Mrmozambique · Rating 5 out of 5]

Dr. Demes takes an interesting, gentle approach in this book, combining business methods with supportive, spiritual techniques. It's big picture yet broken down into practical techniques easily implemented by even non-spiritual people like myself (e.g. self-eval checklists). I encourage anyone with an interest in self improvement or even global health (Dr. Demes' day job) to grab this book and give it a spin.
