| Dyslexics think outside the box. People who are dyslexic make major breakthroughs. Lots of famous ones. He has the curiosity I can't help but wonder if he is. |

Okay, since no one else has responded.
In none of Dr. Sarno's books does he mention being dyslexic. So I can't say. I agree with you though about his curiosity. I think there would be much interest in his biography. What is it that made him question the status quo and look further? What drove him to search until he found a way to help the thousands of previously suffering patients? And is he satisfied with helping so many? Or does he, typical of a TMSer, need to do more?
But now you've got me curious, who are all those dyslexic people and what great things have they done?
I'm actually sincerely interested.
Best,
Peg
