this is a very good book for introducing body/mind health issues. it covers a lot of territory. only thing is, is the references. the references used in this book are mostly from "pop" magazines such as psychology today, time, u.s. world, readers digest (!), etc. i personally do not consider these publications too legit, but that is my opinion. i got this book through the local library, i would recommend you do the same to see if you want to shell out the big bucks. or get it used, there are a lot of copies for sale.

Yes this is a very long and intense book. And costly. Covers topics from how emotions can harm you to how simple things like prayer can help you. Each chapter has numerous footnotes referenced with the information for the various studies on which the information is based.

I have lent it out to family and friends and it truly contains unknown and not mainsteam health information. I do believe our emotions are largely at work in our overall well-being, and this book cemented that belief for me and enlightened me in other ways.

This book is a great resource for a wide range of mind/body health issues. Although there are some sources/references that aren't as "legit" (previous reviewer's comment), there a ton of scholarly articles. And this book compiles most of the good literature and research that exists on mind/body health topics.

This book shows the relationship between the way one thinks and the way the body feels. It is a very clear and easy to understand book showing the way that certain actions, functions and thoughts can change the way a person's body feels and the health of the person. I found it very interesting and helpful to what I was wondering about. Expensive though.

I love this book it gives you indepth information about the body and mind. I is also written in a way that everyone can undertand it. It gives information on ways to decrease your stress level. Very helpful

This book is being used for my Health Psychology for a Social Psychology Selected Topics course and it is very good. It gives you a broad overview of all possible health related topics that are affected by psychology. The used book was in perfect condition and was shipped right away. Very satisfied!

I'm using this book as a back up text in a Mind/Body Medicine course in a CAM program at a medical institution. It's easy read, easy to understand. I especially like the pieces on Optimists and how their characteristics lead to better immunity. There are also pieces on the Cancer Personality and the Distressed Personality. I'd recommend it as a good read and very broad in its coverage.

I also recommend the work of Martin Seligman and Positive Psychology.

This is the first time I will be buying books on Amazon.com.I got my books on time and I had no problems whatsoever with any of my transactions
the other good aspect is that it is safe and secured I will recomend this to anyone.
