The Mindbody Prescription

Healing the Body, Healing the Pain

De: John E. Sarno MD MD

Narrado por: Brian Holsopple

Learn how to relieve chronic pain for good with this life-changing New York Times bestselling book.

Pain is inevitable, but suffering is optional. Musculoskeletal pain disorders have reached epidemic proportions in the United States, with most doctors failing to recognize their underlying cause, leaving patients desperate–and still in agonizing pain. 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.

Broken down into three sections, Dr. Sarno takes the reader through the psychology, physical manifestations, and treatment of Mindbody Disorders.

Informative and accessible, The Mindbody Prescription is a revelatory book that gives hope to long-sufferers of physical pain–that they may regain a feeling of comfort and safety in their bodies.

"My life was filled with excruciating back and shoulder pain until I applied Dr. Sarno's principles, and in a matter of weeks my back pain disappeared. I never suffered a single symptom again...I owe Dr. Sarno my life."" - Howard Stern

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.

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 book.

What made the experience of listening to The Mindbody Prescription the most enjoyable?

Easy to understand. Good advice.

What does Brian Holsopple bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

I also have the hard copy of this book but hearing helped the information stick with me.

What did you learn from The Mindbody Prescription that you would use in your daily life?

Advice on how to address my neck and shoulder pain.

I’VE BEEN LOOKING FOR THESE ANSWERS FOR YEARS!

First off I need to say that this will take practice and I’m going to have to listen to parts of this book repeatedly. There is a lot of medical information which I like but not everyone does. For me it answered so many things I needed to know in order for me to wrap my brain around this idea. I have wasted SO MUCH MONEY & TIME trying to find answers for everything. I have been treated as though I have been looking for drugs every time but I rarely asked for anything in that way. I have been told to stop exercising which I refused to do. This book is the first time I feel genuine hope for my future self. I don’t often do reviews but I had to on this one.

Outstanding

This is an excellent explanation of the human physiological system. I'm so glad my Mother told me about it. My back, neck and shoulder started feeling better before I finished the book. I went running yesterday! I feel great. This is definitely life changing, in several ways.
I recommend this book to all humans, especially those who are experiencing any kind of pain. I will start reading it again tomorrow. I will re-read it again and again, several times so I don't forget the so many important points in it.
Why can't more doctors consider these concepts?
Dr. Sarno, thank you so much!
