About
How does stress influence chronic illness? Bestselling author Gabor Maté provides a riveting exploration of the mind-body connection.
Can a person literally die of loneliness? Is there a connection between the ability to express emotions and Alzheimer's disease? Is there such a thing as a 'cancer personality'?
With compassion, warmth and empathy, Dr Gabor Maté draws on deep scientific research and his acclaimed clinical work to provide the answers to critical questions about the mind-body link - and illuminates the role that stress and our emotional makeup play in an array of common diseases.
When the Body Says No:
- Explores the role of the mind-body link in conditions and diseases such as arthritis, cancer, diabetes, heart disease, irritable bowel syndrome and multiple sclerosis.
- Shares dozens of enlightening case studies and personal and moving stories, including those of people such as Lou Gehrig (ALS), Betty Ford (breast cancer), Ronald Reagan (Alzheimer's), Gilda Radner (ovarian cancer) and Lance Armstrong (testicular cancer)
- Reveals 'The Seven A's of Healing': principles in healing and the prevention of illness from hidden stress
And isn't this a good deal, don't you think?
Back in 1995, when Alanis Morisette sang 'It's like rain on your wedding day, it's a free ride when you've already paid' etc, there were very few people who didn't know the lyrics to 'Ironic', especially the fabled line 'And isn't it ironic, don't you think?' Fast forward almost 30 years later and you will find countless blogs and posts about how nothing in the song is actually 'ironic' at all, rather just coincidental or unfortunate.
Like 10 thousand spoons when all you need is a knife? Yeah, that's not really ironic, just a case of bad luck. And way too many spoons, in our opinion? Where can one even find that many? You know what's not ironic, coincidental or unfortunate, though? Our deal on this 24-piece stainless steel cutlery set from Jane Becker.
