Customer Reviews

The most fascinating information I've ever read

Yes this is a very long and intense book. And costly. Covers topics from how emotions can harm you to how simple things like prayer can help you. Each chapter has numerous footnotes referenced with the information for the various studies on which the information is based. I have lent it out to family and friends and it truly contains unknown and not mainsteam health information. I do believe our emotions are largely at work in our overall well-being, and this book cemented that belief for me and enlightened me in other ways.

excellent resource

This book is a great resource for a wide range of mind/body health issues. Although there are some sources/references that aren't as "legit" (previous reviewer's comment), there a ton of scholarly articles. And this book compiles most of the good literature and research that exists on mind/body health topics.

Very Helpful

This book shows the relationship between the way one thinks and the way the body feels. It is a very clear and easy to understand book showing the way that certain actions, functions and thoughts can change the way a person's body feels and the health of the person. I found it very interesting and helpful to what I was wondering about. Expensive though.
