A healthy perspective on health

This is a wonderful little book that takes a different slant on your health, one bias in NLP techniques. Even if you are not familiar with NLP, the authors give enough material here that is a worthwhile read with enough evidence to take your mind outside traditional wisdom. If you are a practitioner of NLP, don't overlook this little gem. Some of this is repeat, but some of the techniques are quite nice or explained more resourcefully.

Very useful - Muy útil

Lo recomiendo tanto a medicos como al público en general, sanos y enfermos. Tuve la oportunidad de leer la versión en español, y me pareció muy útil para comprender cómo tus ideas, creencias y conductas pueden ayudarte a mantener una salud física y mental. Los autores ofrecen ejemplos claros sobre cómo ciertas actitudes y creencias afectan el sistema inmunológico, mejoran nuestras deseos de salud. etc.; ofrecen consejos prácticos al respecto. Especialmente me agradó el capítulo sobre metáforas: ¿cómo es la salud para tí? ¿es como una guerra entre tu sistema inmunitario y los virus? ¿ó es como una gimnasta en constante movimiento, guardando su equilibrio? ¿consideras a tu cuerpo como un monton de tuberías, ó lo consideras un templo sagrado?I recommend it for doctors, healthy people and sick people. I had oportunity to read spanish version and I believe it is very useful to understand how your own ideas, beliefs and actions can help you to maintain your phisical and mental health. Authors offer easy examples about how atittudes and beliefs influence inmunology system, how improve our health hopes, etc.; they offer practical advices about it. I liked very much chapter about metaphores: How is health for you? Does health is like a war between your inmunology system and viruses? Is this like a gymnast in constant movement, maintaining her equilibrium? Do you consider your body like a lots of pipes, or do you consider it like a sacred temple?
