Dean Ornish, M.D. author of Eat More, Weigh Less Molecules of Emotion is a highly inspiring story of the search for the biochemical links between consciousness, mind, and body that also weaves in Pert's deeply personal search for truth. Highly recommended!, Lynn HarrisNew York Daily NewsPick up the coolest, smartest, hardest-core mind-body book I've seen in a while., "A clear and often riveting account of her research on the frontier of a new kind of science." -- Smithsonian "Pert is at her best here when she details the sexism that permeates the upper echelons of the scientific establishment... She also does a very credible job of exploding the basic paradigm underlying much of modern human biology--that the brain and the body are two distinct systems...this is an important look at what really goes on inside the human body--and inside the scientific elite." -- Publishers Weekly "[Pert] freely intermingles vibrant stories of her professional and personal life with her theories about neuropeptides...Her views on mind-body cellular communication mesh well with the concepts of energy held by many alternative therapies." -- Kirkus "Candace B. Pert...has managed to take the study of the emotional connection to the body...and present this information in not only an understandable manner, but an enjoyable one." --Caroline Myss, Ph.D., author of Why People Don't Heal and How They Can "Reading Molecules of Emotion filled me with molecules associated with joy, inspiration, and hope." --Christiane Northrup, M.D., author of Women's Bodies, Women's Wisdom "Molecules of Emotion is a highly inspiring story of the search for the biochemical links between consciousness, mind, and body that also weaves in Pert's deeply personal search for truth. Highly recommended!" --Dean Ornish, M.D., author of Eat More, Weigh Less "Pick up the coolest, smartest, hardest-core mind-body book I've seen in a while." -- Lynn Harris, New York Daily News "Dr. Pert has written one of the few truly spellbinding autobiographies of a scientist's life and discoveries that, remarkably, impels one to read and turn pages with the same urgency one applies to Michael Crichton's science fiction! This experience is all the more fascinating since Dr. Pert's story is true. She is the new Carl Sagan of the biomedical enterprise." --Michael D.

Synopsis
The bestselling and revolutionary book that serves as a "landmark in our understanding of the mind-body connection" (Deepak Chopra, MD). Why do we feel the way we feel? How do our thoughts and emotions affect our health? In her groundbreaking book Molecules of Emotion, Candace Pert--an extraordinary neuroscientist who played a pivotal role in the discovery of the opiate receptor--provides startling and decisive answers to these and other challenging questions that scientists and philosophers have pondered for centuries. Pert's pioneering research on how the chemicals inside our bodies form a dynamic information network, linking mind and body, is not only provocative, it is revolutionary. By establishing the biomolecular basis for our emotions and explaining these scientific developments in a clear and accessible way, Pert empowers us to understand ourselves, our feelings, and the connection between our minds and our bodies--or bodyminds--in ways we could never possibly have imagined before. From explaining the scientific basis of popular wisdom about phenomena such as "gut feelings" to making comprehensible recent breakthroughs in cancer and AIDS research, Pert provides us with an intellectual adventure of the highest order. Molecules of Emotion is a landmark work, full of insight and wisdom and possessing that rare power to change the way we see the world and ourselves., Why do we feel the way we feel? How do our thoughts and emotions affect our health? Are our bodies and minds distinct from each other or do they function together as parts of an interconnected system?

- c***r (557)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseBook exactly as specified, rapid international delivery (USA to UK), and a reasonable price for an out-of-print book. I was also very pleased and reassured by the quality of packaging for the book. It arrived in a cardboard box, and inside, it had brown paper to pad out the box, plus brown paper around the book to further protect it. This meant the book survived international shipping in great condition. On that basis, I highly recommend this seller.Hardstyle Abs: Hit Hard. Lift Heavy. Look the Part. by in New (#127042788743)
