About this listen
"A splendid history of mind-body medicine...a book that desperately needed to be written." --Jerome Groopman, New York Times
Is stress a deadly disease on the rise in modern society? Can mind-body practices from the East help us become well? When it comes to healing, we believe we must look beyond doctors and drugs; we must look within ourselves. Faith, relationships, and attitude matter.
But why do we believe such things? From psychoanalysis to the placebo effect to meditation, this vibrant cultural history describes mind-body healing as rooted in a patchwork of stories, allowing us to make new sense of our suffering and to rationalize new treatments and lifestyles.

Not what I was expecting
In my personal opinion this book sumarises the content of similar books from great authors like as example Joe Dispenza, Deepak Chopra and others, I've learned nothing new after having read all these books before. I was unpleasantly surprised about the in detail description of animal testing or other comments pin pointing the orphans situation in the 90ties in Eastern Europe. Sorry I would have liked to give more stars but even the tone of the reader was annoying with a bit of arrogance.
