Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
The New York Times bestseller -- "practical, easy to understand, and based on solid research that you can trust...an inspiring exploration of what it means to be fully human" (Andrew Weil, MD)
Based on Dr. Borysenko's groundbreaking work nearly thirty years ago at the Mind/Body linic in Boston, Minding the Body, Mending the Mind continues to be a classic in the field, with time-tested tips on how to take control of your own physical and emotional well-being. The clinic's dramatic success with thousands of patients -- with conditions ranging from allergies to cancer -- offers vivid proof of the effectiveness of the mind/body approach to health and its power to transform your life. With tips on how to elicit the mind's powerful relaxation response to boost your immune system, cope with chronic pain, and alleviate symptoms of a host of stress-related illnesses, this book is a must-have for anyone interested in taking an active role in their own healing.
