Product Description

Product Description

This text explores the mind-body connection and what it means for health. Esther Sternberg provides accounts of the experiments that reveal the physical mechanisms - the nerves, cells and hormones - used by the brain and immune system to communicate with each other. She describes just how stress can make us more susceptible to all types of illness, and how the immune system can alter moods.

2.0 out of 5 stars Stodgily written, 10 Jun 2009
Personally I was very disappointed by this book. I have a biology degree and have recently developed an strong interest in the link between emotions and disease since learning Emotional Freedom Technique. I was hoping this book would be the sort of book I could pass on to some of my sceptical scientific rationalist family/friends. But even though it is on a subject that interests me enormously, it is so stodgily written that I simply couldn't finish it. I found it long-winded and felt it wasn't telling me anything I didn't know already. The historical chapter, in particular, really tried my patience - and I'm a person who is extremely interested in history. I couldn't get on with the author's writing style. Perhaps I am not the right audience for this book - it may be aimed at those who don't know anything about the connection between emotions and health and in my case was preaching to the converted - but it is certainly not one that I would recommend.
