This is a terrific book.' Joel E. Dimsdale, M.D., Editor-Emeritus, Psychosomatic Medicine, Distinguished Professor of Psychiatry Emeritus, University of California, San Diego, 'The book's master stroke is weaving together copious peer-reviewed evidence from various modalities to make the case for a sea change in our healthcare culture surrounding prevention and management of stress-related chronic illness.
