Learn how to relieve chronic pain for good with this life-changing New York Times bestselling book.

Pain is inevitable, but suffering is optional. Musculoskeletal pain disorders have reached epidemic proportions in the United States, with most doctors failing to recognize their underlying cause, leaving patients desperate–and still in agonizing pain. 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.

Broken down into three sections, Dr. Sarno takes the reader through the psychology, physical manifestations, and treatment of Mindbody Disorders.

Informative and accessible, The Mindbody Prescription is a revelatory book that gives hope to long-sufferers of physical pain–that they may regain a feeling of comfort and safety in their bodies.

"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

A deeper look into the authors' theories and therapies, great to listen to as a reinforcment of his thesis.

Great build on 'Healing Back Pain'

this book is incredible. it described so much in great detail with a writer who is obviously very experienced in his field. it's very compassionate and honest and goes into depth in ways that I didn't expect. there's a lot of discussion about feelings and facing them. surprising!

however, the narrator is robotic. no warmth, just clinical reading. it's a drawback because he just reads every single word at exactly the same Pace without pause or without inflection. It's easy to not listen because there is no emotional tone whatsoever to what he's reading.

great information, robot narrator

Would you listen to The Mindbody Prescription again? Why?

I would listen to it again, as the examples in the book help with the healing process, and there's a lot of information that's difficult to process in the first listening.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Reading the book completely obliterated 10 years worth of pain, the only word I can use to describe it is 'incredible'

A great subject with a mediocre presentation

Would you listen to The Mindbody Prescription again? Why?

Yes, I am going for my second time around listening and I will continue to listen to it until the concepts are second nature. It is healing just to listen to the concepts of this book. I noticed a change within. Dr Sarno's scientific pedigree gives enormous weight to his scientific findings. He guides the listener by the hand through biological and anatomical concepts. This book is a real gem!

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Mindbody Prescription?

That I have the power to heal myself. That emotions, though intrinsic to living, important and necessary, if they are out of balance can be very toxic.

Which scene was your favorite?

The exercises to begin healing the mind and body

What did you learn from The Mindbody Prescription that you would use in your daily life?

To become aware of the physiology of emotions and their effect on the body structures.

Any additional comments?

Dr Sarno continue to write please. We need to change the outmoded concepts of orthodox medicine

Listen to this book it will change your life!

What made the experience of listening to The Mindbody Prescription the most enjoyable?

Excellent, book, excellent work! Dr. Sarno is a saint! Through his amazing work, identifying TMS he has changed, is changing and will change the life's of so many people that are suffering unnecessarily because of societies erroneous beliefs about unifying mind and body i.e. the link between emotions and disease. This is the kind of thing that doctors should be taught at medical school. A must read!

A challenging yet profound and scientifically sound approach to chronic pain relief! Dr. Sarno's views are challenging and often counter-intuitive, yet his deep understanding of the symptomatology and effects of most of these chronic conditions are far more in-depth than most doctors and experts. His root cause analysis of these factors invites the reader to contemplate them simply and repeatedly. Very soothing, deep, and worth rereading many times to let it permeate. A masterpiece, and top 5 health books in my collection!

A must-read/listen for anyone with chronic pain!
