Great Book, needs update
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
I love his book, it contains an overview of mind-body interactions from every perspective. It is well written (tho the language is British English), very well documented with references and has an un ashamedly clinical orientation. There is golden wisdom in the chapter on "Successful Aging" by Luskin & Newell, I particularly liked the discussion of the effects of listening and the importance of meaning. The treatment of Ischemic heart disease and Cancer are both superb, with helpful illustrations, but both need updates. 1997 was long ago, I have not found anything newer that serves so well as an introduction to the topic. I do recommend it highly.
