Moore says that ordinary people as well as healthcare professionals should keep this image of the human person in mind at times of illness. Moore will share his thoughts on spiritual well-being, care for the soul, and awareness of how the body manifests the entire experience of the human being. He explains how it might affect the way we build hospitals, treat illnesses and relate to each other. However, this holistic approach requires a difficult shift away from the modern limited view of the person to a much larger and sensitive image of what sickness is and how to respond to it.
