Good find Aussie, he's TMS savvy all the way, but I see he's writing a book. I hope he doesn't hope to peddle his wares here, I'm full-up on toasters (see "I am here to help..." thread by Nicole Sachs).
Cheers Mate,

Great find but proceed with caution. There is a lot of medical stuff in the book including a chapter on physical therapy and rehabilitation.
While the mindbody syndrome is well covered, not a word on Sarno. |

This is awesome. Thanks to Aussie for starting the post and everyone else, especially Shawnsmith. I love reading these medical books and from the look of the contents, I think this may help me a lot. I am so happy to see someone like this author who believes in TMS.

This is a great find.
The info on anxiety is actually very useful and more than the usual brush-over it's given in these kinds of books. It's nice to see another author pointing up the connection between anxiety and chronic pain.
Lots more to read, though... |
