Publisher's Summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

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'?

Drawing on deep scientific research and Dr Gabor Maté's acclaimed clinical work, When the Body Says No provides the answers to critical questions about the mind-body link - and 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 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.

not self help book but a self reflection book

It was a very easy and cathartic read to me personally. I could relate to many emotional struggles portrayed through the stories of different people. We should read it, work through therapy before any dis-ease sets in. There is always an emotional component to any illness. It does not take away from medicine but offers a perspective in our own emotional make up and how it could affect us.

An exceptional read for healing

There are very few non fiction books which ultimately resonate with your lives. This one is undoubtedly the "one" for me. Suffering from a chronic condition, for me this is an eye opener in many ways. May God bless the author and his family for guiding many of us who are suffering. A big thank you to the author for giving insights about stress with empathy and compassion.

Very useful insights

This book offers a picture on how psychological factors can affect physiology and thereby cause certain ailments. A very different take on medical science. Enlightening listen.

intreguing

I would have liked the author to have elaborated the DM topic more. Was there a relation between supressed stress and development of diabetes or was the suppressed stress caused the complications?. otherwise the book is quite an eye opener
