From Library Journal Siegel， a New Haven surgeon， believes that the power of healing stems from the human mind and will， that his scalpel only buys time against cancer， and that self-love and determination are more important than choice of therapy. His philosophy has caused radical changes in his practice. Siegel recounts many arresting anecdotes: joyous stories of patients who survived against all odds， sad chronicles of those who seemingly gave up and assented to their own deaths. The author's credentials make this one of the more plausible books on the mind-body connection. For most public libraries and holistic health collections. Judith Eannarino， George Washington Univ.

It can be a lifesaver." --This text refers to the Paperback edition. See all Editorial Reviews
