Publisher's summary

How do our thoughts and emotions affect our health? Are our bodies and minds distinct from one another or do they function together as parts of an interconnected system? Candace Pert - a neuroscientist whose extraordinary career began with her 1972 discovery of the opiate receptor - provides startling and decisive answers to these and other challenging questions that scientists and philosophers have pondered for centuries. From explaining the scientific basis of popular wisdom and phenomena like "gut feelings" to making comprehensible recent discoveries in cancer and AIDS research, Molecules of Emotion is an intellectual adventure of the highest order.

Critic reviews

"Finally, here is a Western scientist who has done the work to explain the unity of mind and matter, body and soul." (Deepak Chopra)

Amazing

What a great book! Candace has a talent for mixing lay understanding and alternative health

Wonderful Information

This book was so enlightening regarding the chemical biology behind emotions. I wish there were accompanied pdf’s to refer to as a reader when referring to the nerve complexes and energy points etc. But other than that, I feel a very necessary book for everyone to wrap their head around understanding how emotional processing requires the body to participate. As a somatic movement coach who holds space for clients to move in emotion, it’s a great resource to send my mentally inclined clients for direct understanding of their chemical emotions.

Important information for the emerging new Paradigm

We are evolving in undeniable and inescapable ways to this new consciousness, which by necessity and by anatomy includes the physical world and the human body. Works like this, by Dr. Pert, confirm the pathway of the evolutionary change that is streaming in our human society. It is quite real. And I f your not “on the train,” you are definitely going to be left behind. This is the fruition of new Life. It has ceased to be a debate... Quite simply, it becomes clear which species/which consciousness will prevail on Earth. Peace will. Wake up.

Revealing

I loved the truth the author brings to this topic, validating unity and its provable reality.

Where's the substance?

Seemed more of a journal of the author' s experiences.
Needed more information on how the molecular emotions effect the body. And suggested alternatives.

Cutting edge science meets with spirituality.

This audio book is the result of breakthrough thinking by a top female scientist that is not afraid to challenge the establishment. She uses everything in her scientific background to prove the validity of claims made by alternative medicine practitioners.

not what the title suggests

This book is largely autobiographical. It only lightly sketches out the basics of the molecular foundation of emotions. If you are looking for understanding of that chemistry, or, more likely, how to use that knowledge to better yourself, then look elsewhere. Further the authors consistent self promotion is tiresome; though understandable, given her experience.

Molecules of Emotion

So glad she read this. One of my heroes. Awesome work. I've read this probably three times.

Sci Degree Preferred :-)

This is a deep message that is best enjoyed with the aid of your BS degree 😊 Meaning, many scientific concepts are covered, so you may wish to visit Wikipedia a few times as you listen to this fascinating book. 👍

Great book for anyone in the healing arts...

Allopathic or otherwise Not particularly lay person friendly. Very informative Would have liked more how-to.
