Publisher's summary

In They Can't Find Anything Wrong!, Dr. David Clarke shares a life-changing approach to Stress Illness that is based on detailed interviews with and successful treatment of over 7000 patients. Tens of millions of people with Stress Illness are usually unaware of the nature or degree of the stress responsible for their symptoms. Unfortunately, few physicians are formally trained to detect and manage this problem.

Consequently, Stress Illness patients often find themselves in a medical blind spot and subjected to unnecessary tests and unsuitable treatments.

They Can't Find Anything Wrong! meets the needs of these patients, their physicians, and the health care system as a whole. Written in a warm, non-technical, story-telling style, this comprehensive guide is the first to provide listeners with a focus on the five distinct types of stress that can cause illness directly:

• Persistent effects from childhood stress (over 50 percent of cases)
• Current stress
• Post-traumatic stress
• Depression
• Anxiety

Dr. Clarke goes beyond the typical lifestyle/stress management guides with his perceptions about finding and removing hidden impediments to lasting and meaningful change. Throughout the audiobook, Dr. Clarke uses numerous case histories of patients he has treated. The stories in They Can't Find Anything Wrong! are carefully selected to help listeners uncover their own hidden stresses. This is the essential first step toward understanding and alleviating stress illness symptoms.

They Can't Find Anything Wrong! is a book that can transform lives by offering hope and guidance so that millions can live the lives they were always meant to have.

the many excellent examples, So educational and informative

nothing , I didn't like. it was all good. Great tool , I plan to recommend it to family and friends

Insightful but not helpful

This book does an excellent job of helping readers appreciate the seriousness of stress illness but doesn’t really help teach readers how to identify their stress types. The narrator is annoying and should know that the G is silent in words ending in -ing. Words like “raining” sound like “rainink”. I think this is a good book and worth the read, but I found it annoying and not as prescriptive as I hoped it would be.

Should be required reading for medical school!

I found Dr. Clarke’s work through the Curable podcast & app, which teaches you how to heal from mind-body pain and ailments. Loved hearing his case histories and the “miraculous” stories of recovery— definitely recommend this book if you suspect a link between your own illness/ailments and stress. Pleasant narration as well— this was a quick listen!

Great info, narration meh

Great information, helpful stories and techniques for healing. Only thing I didn’t like was the narrator “acting”. For women voices (yes the author puts in the dialogue that happened between he and his patients), the male narrator used a feminine voice that was distracting to me. Robin Williams in “Mrs. Doubtfire” is one thing... this was something else entirely. Maybe if I’d thought of that movie from the beginning, I could have pretended it was him! Lol!

The stories

Dislike the voice change in the story it makes the story less serious and i think this is a book that every doctor should have as they tell you it’s on your mind

Awesome book. A must read!

I soaked up all this information like a sponge. I was skeptical to start this book but it was recommended by my doctor. wow! life changing!

eye opening

Someone recommended this book...I didn't have high hopes.. I was surprised that this book could help me. wonderful read.

Meh

Is there anything you would change about this book?

More balance with stories about people who required long term effort to find wellness.

Would you recommend They Can't Find Anything Wrong to your friends? Why or why not?

No, it's rather vanilla and doesn't really offer much substance.

Would you listen to another book narrated by Paul Aulridge?

Probably not. Depends on the book, though. I prefer a narrator who talks with me and doesn't read at me.

Any additional comments?

If you are new to the concepts of illness from emotional or mental causes, this might be a good place to start. Otherwise, it is a very simplistic view, almost naive, at changing thoughts and beliefs creating better health. There isn't much substance to how to remedy illness and a lot of stories about patients who had an epiphany of insight and their problems just disappeared. Not saying that doesn't happen, but it would have been more balance to include o e of the stories about people who really hard to put work into changing over a long term.

Quit Reading

I did not care for the foul language and unbiblical thinking. I would not recommend.

Rinse and Repeat

The entire book is just hours and hours of stories that go like this. Meet Bill. Bill has been struggling with pain in his _____ for years. After extensive tests, they could not find anything wrong with Bill. I suggested Bill had stress illness. After talking to Bill about his life and digging deeper into his (self esteem, or childhood, or family issues). We concluded Bill's stress was caused by someone at his work, or his childhood, or dealing with his parents. After taking care of that, Bills pain in his ______ dissolved. Then Repeat, repeat, repeat all the way to the end of the book.

He briefly talks about keeping a stress inventory which is writing all the things down that bother you then reorganizing from greatest to least bothersome and start working on them. He advises seeking counseling and treating the brain with care like any other organ in your body by doing so.

I agree 100% with the author, I was just bored... it was like I was saying "ok, I got it, now give me a "How To".... the "How To" never really panned out.

If you want more confidence in understanding the Mind / Body connection I would highly recommend reading works from Dr. John Sarno (although he can be a little wordy, just skip over the scientific jargon and get to the How To parts. Also Steven Ozanich. Also, find yourself an EMDR and or BSP therapist. It will do wonders.

Self-Disclosure: I read this book on a recommendation and am trying to educate myself on all the credible literature in this field so I can teach it one day.
