Format:Paperback
... some things about life are so obvious it's ridiculous you never realised them before. I had worsening RSI problems for 2 years before reading, studying and 'becoming a follower' of the principles described by Dr. Sarno. I initially read his other book, 'the mindbody prescription' and as an ex-biochemical scientist and lifelong cynic, it took some further research into what Sarno covered in that book before I was convinced what he suggests is valid.
This book is much more thorough and interesting to read, even if your knowledge of medical science and pathology doesn't let you believe it. It's an illuminating perspective on the connection between mind and body with contributions from numerous doctors and psychologists that would be a worthwhile read for anyone interested in the mind and the body. Hugely recommended for the empirical research documented therein and illuminating case-studies.
I don't bother any more trying to convince other people with mindbody symptoms that they can get better. I just know that now I can use my hands again without pain. :-)

Please read this book if you suffer from shoulder pain or knee pain or any form of tendonitis. It explains how the mind can create pain in the body (pain which can move around)by starving that area of oxygen and causing pain. It does this as a protective device to stop the person experiencing emotional pain. That is a crude summary but accurate. It gave me the courage to face my own difficult emotions and my physical problems have practically disappeared. Brilliant book.

I'm finding this book a very exciting read. I've always felt that our illnesses are coming from the mind and this book by dr John Sarno more than supports this view. it makes absolute sense and is utterly amazing that modern medicine has no time for this concept. I'd highly recommend anyone and everyone to read this book....especially doctors and nurses. We so badly need to bring back some humanity and common sense into our lives and into our health service. If only there were more Dr John Sarnos around!
