The Divided Mind (Abridged) Audiobook

" This book is more for the rationally-inclined, medical types. I hope it catches on with med students and doctors because it's a terrible crime that more doctors don't practice this. "

" Here's what I'm reading now... fascinating, fascinating stuff. I'm only part way through, but this guy is totally on to something. He talks a lot about how much of our physical ailments (certain ones in particular) are rooted in the repression of rage. "

" Though a bit too Freudian in places, I think Dr. Sarno makes some good points about how our minds effect our body, which results in many mystifying illnesses that most medical doctors are unable to treat or explain. What I like most is that he offers a third way to these diagnosis. Instead of saying its imaginary or unexplainable, he says that brain can create actual physical effects. A must read for anyone interested in mind/body medicine. "

" Very interesting about some pain afflications being psychosomatic. "

" While it's his classis "Healing Back Pain" that made me a believer in Sarno's work, this is a more comprehensive history of psychosomatic orders. His brilliant work is largely unrecognized, but I hope that changes as mind-body disorders become more widespread in the U.S. If you have back pain, you MUST read his books. "

" I don't love Sarno's writing style, but the content of the books was very interesting -- made a lot of sense to me. "

" Amazing book. A must read for anyone with health issues! "

" Dr. Sarno's books are life changing! I no longer live in daily pain because of this Dr.! "

" I re-read this book when I'm in some acute physical pain. And the pain then subsides. Yet I've already read it and know what it says. "

" Excellent psychosomatic reference but it only focuses on certain ailments and not the whole mindbody connection. "

" I think this is an interesting read about psychosomatic illness, especiallyhow buried anger and grief come cause physical pain. "

" Book about a Mindbody Disorder that is similiar to the Conversion Disorder that my daughter has. "

" This book points out one obvious, little contemplated matter of health: The mind controls the body. (And sometimes there are unwanted side-effects.) "

" Dr. Sarno has come to understand that many chronic pain issues are truly all in the head. He explains the history of psychosomatic illness (he uses "mindbody disorders") and a method for treatment. This book makes me recall the Law of Attraction in the book "The Secret." "

" This is a book about some psychosomatic stuff. Basically you are hurt or injured because of something in your unconsciousness. Like you are hurt or angry so you have a bad back. I liked the book and I think it made a lot of sense but a bit repetitive. Could have been half as long. "

" This is an eye opener for me. My trips to the doctor will be highly curtailed unless I'm really sick. Still reading, but I think most of my recent problems have been psychosomatic. It makes so much sense. Hmmm. "
