Narrado por: Brian Holsopple

Dr. John E. Sarno's Healing Back Pain is a New York Times best seller that has helped over 500,000 readers. Continuing the research since his ground-breaking book, the renowned physician now presents his most complete work yet on the vital connection between mental and bodily health....

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. His innovative program has already produced gratifying results for thousands of patients. The Mindbody Prescription is your invaluable key to a healthy and pain-free life.

Great build on 'Healing Back Pain'

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

great information, robot narrator

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.

Listen to this book it will change your life!

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

Emotions, Disease and Well-Being Bible

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 must-read/listen for anyone with chronic pain!

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!

Good information

Good information. Some of it is outdated and proven to be incorrect. However, there is still a lot of very valuable and helpful information.

The narrator has a very boring voice, but it was worth it to push through.

Incredible

This book has changed the way I look at my chronic pain and will be the reason I heal from it.
I have encouraged a lot of my friends to read it as well.

Insightful

An insightful book with many good points and knowledge for us. Excited to read more of his books.

Learned behavior.

This is a great book! It has helped me understand my body. It is good for everyone.

A great subject with a mediocre presentation

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'
