Description

The mind's extraordinary ability to heal the body is a phenomenon that has been extensively researched in recent years. Studies have shown that our thoughts, emotions, and beliefs can have a profound impact on our physical health, influencing everything from pain perception to the progression of diseases such as cancer and AIDS. Jo Marchant, award-winning science writer, delves into the latest research to explore the vast potential of the mind's ability to heal. She travels the world to meet the physicians, patients, and researchers on the cutting edge of this new world of medicine, uncovering evidence that meditation can protect against depression and dementia, social connections can increase life expectancy, and even the smell of lavender can calm a hostile immune system. By drawing on the very latest research, Marchant sheds light on the complex relationship between the mind and body, acknowledging both the potential benefits and limitations of this emerging field.
