Publisher Description
The New York Times bestselling guide to a healthy and pain-free life. Musculoskeletal pain disorders have reached epidemic proportions in the United States, with most doctors failing to recognize their underlying cause. In this acclaimed volume, Dr. Sarno reveals how many painful conditions-including most neck and back pain, migraine, repetitive stress injuries, whiplash, and tendonitises-are rooted in repressed emotions, and shows how they can be successfully treated without drugs, physical measures, or surgery. "My life was filled with excruciating back and shoulder pain until I applied Dr. Sarno's principles, and in a matter of weeks my back pain disappeared. I never suffered a single symptom again...I owe Dr. Sarno my life." - Howard Stern

The Mindbody Prescription Listener Reviews

" I don't love Sarno's writing style, but the content of the books was very interesting -- made a lot of sense to me. "
— Kathy, 1/28/2014 -
" I absolutely LOVED this book. I have put Dr. Sarno's suggestions to use, and lo and behold my intense shoulder pain is gone! This is a MUST read if you have fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, chronic pain, etc. I have always believed that our bodies are not meant to be constantly plaguing us, and this book can help heal you. "
— Marianne, 1/21/2014 -
" Book about a Mindbody Disorder that is similiar to the Conversion Disorder that my daughter has. "
— Sheri, 1/16/2014 -
" Dr. Sarno's books are life changing! I no longer live in daily pain because of this Dr.! "
— Brooke, 1/14/2014 -
" I think this is an interesting read about psychosomatic illness, especiallyhow buried anger and grief come cause physical pain. "
— Julie, 1/12/2014 -
" 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. "
— Bob, 1/4/2014 -
" 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. "
— Lauren, 11/25/2013 -
" This book points out one obvious, little contemplated matter of health: The mind controls the body. (And sometimes there are unwanted side-effects.) "
— Josh, 10/29/2013 -
" Very interesting about some pain afflications being psychosomatic. "
— Colleen, 8/15/2013 -
" Amazing book. A must read for anyone with health issues! "
— Michelle, 8/11/2013 -
" Excellent psychosomatic reference but it only focuses on certain ailments and not the whole mindbody connection. "
— Jenn, 7/27/2013 -
" 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. "
— Rita, 2/2/2013 -
" 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. "
— Martha, 12/16/2012 -
" 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." "
— Joel, 6/30/2012 -
" 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. "
— Kent, 3/4/2012
