summary

Chronic pain is an enigma to the modern medical community. The Mindbody Prescription by Dr. John Sarno offers a radical idea: the cause of many chronic pain conditions isn’t physical, but rather rooted in your mind. Sarno believes that tension affects our emotions, and that unexpressed emotions can affect our physical well-being. This theory shows that repressed emotions cause physical harm ranging from headaches and allergies to back and neck pain. Dr. Sarno’s chapters are a veritable road map to the body and what lies beneath. His personal experience with chronic pain in patients allows him to succinctly diagnose the source of most patients' persistent pain and lead them on the path to recovery. Anyone suffering from chronic pain will find The Mindbody Prescription both transformative and enlightening, and a pathway to permanent relief without the need for endless physical therapy or pharmaceuticals.
