Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Originally published nearly ten years ago, Peace, Love & Healing offered the revolutionary message that we have an innate ability to heal ourselves. Now proven by numerous scientific studies, the connection between our minds and our bodies has been increasingly accepted as fact throughout the mainstream medical community. In a new introduction, Dr. Bernie Siegel highligths current research on the relationships among consciousness, psychosocial factors, attitude and immune function.

"Love and peace of mind do protect us," Siegel writes. "They allow us to overcome the problems that life hands us. They teach us to survive...to live now...to have the courage to confront each day."

Review:

"I was enthralled with this book. Once into it, I could not stop reading until I had finished...It is a truly great book...[that] combines sound thought with captivating humor."(-- Norman Vincent Pearle)

Review:

"The American people are beginning to think in new ways about health and illness....Bernie Siegel is helping to define and open up these new frontiers. In this sense he is in the best medical tradition."(-- Norman Cousins)

Synopsis:

Now with a new preface, the bestselling Peace, Love and Healing explores practical techniques to help readers tune into the positive and negative messages our minds give our bodies. In the nearly 10 years since this book's publication, researchers have gained more knowledge about the relationship between psychosocial factors and immune function. Peace, Love and Healing is filled with stories from exceptional patients and with scientific evidence of the mind-body connection.

Synopsis:

By revealing how the body can be more receptive to the messages of the m ind, Peace, Love & Healing lets us take greater control of our state of mind, state of health, and state of being. Dr. Siegel challenges us, whether we are ill or well, to recognize how our mind influences our body and teaches us how to talk to our inner selves.

Includes bibliographical references.

About the Author

Bernie Siegel, M.D. embraces a philosophy that is at the forefront of a society grappling with medical ethics and spiritual issues. His books, Love, Medicine and Miracles published in 1986, Peace, Love and Healing in 1989, and How to Live Between Office Visits in 1993, have broken new ground in the field of healing. Over the span of twenty years, physicians have become increasingly more receptive to his message. Bernie's efforts have now turned toward humanizing medical care and medical education, and he continues to travel extensively with his wife Bobbie, to speak and run workshops, sharing his techniques and experiences. Bernie and Bobbie have five children and six grandchildren (so far).

If you have not been introduced to Bernie Siegel this is a good first book to read. With all the mind and body literature coming out this is a fascinating topic. As always Bernie Siegel writes with humor and intelligence. I think this is the medicine we need to know about.
