Publisher's summary

Number one international best seller in pain management and health, fitness & dieting categories. Back pain is now the number one cause of disability worldwide; this is ironic, because the mystery was solved in the 1970s by Dr. John Sarno at the New York University Medical Center. Tragically, few sufferers accepted his solution. Despite possessing the most advanced healing techniques in history, the problem has grown into the main cause of global disability because the focus has been on treating the spine: a failed model for healing. Back Pain Permanent Healing examines why people are having trouble healing, why they refuse to accept healing, and why back pain has become epidemic. Through deeper understanding of the myths, lies, and confusion - healing occurs.

Saved me from myself.

Thank you so much Mr. Ozanich. I’m so thankful to have come across both yours and Dr. Sarno’s books. Please if you’re suffering give this book a chance and read Dr. Sarno’s as well. I’m forever grateful to you both. I admire you for elaborating on the concepts of mind body healing and clearing some questions I had regarding TMS. I feel amazing.

Loved it.

Really an Eye opener about the TMS and back pain. Never heard about the TMS before. The best thing is while I was listening to this book, The stress and Depression about the back and life totally fade away and I started having feeling that I am on the way to a Pain and Stress free life.

IT WORKS! Not just for back pain

Listening to this book was an investment that was well worth my time. This is not just about back pain but about how you store pain. Once you realize that your mind is sending stress into a predetermined location, you can thwart your body from compounding stress in one area. IMO the book teaches you to recognize the mental attributes that lead to the pain and then divert your body from localizing all the "emotion" into one physical spot.
Yes, this is redundant, and you will be asking yourself why am I listening to this guy try to sell me on the concept over and over and over... Maybe that's what it takes to drill this into your thick skull, sorry but that's what it took and 2 years pain-free.
Now that I understand how I was creating my own pain, I've blocked it from occurring. Give it a chance, and I hope it works as well for you as it did for me.

A little annoying but still worth the listen

I felt like he really “beat a dead horse” about how wrong the medical institution is. Sounds a bit like a personal vendetta, and not everyone will probably appreciate his humor. But I thought the overall message was good, and I will be putting it to good use.

Incredible. Thank you for my life!!

This is the third book I’ve listened to on the topic, and although I hadn’t felt 100% I know now that this is absolutely the cause of my pain... I cannot recommend enough.

One of the best book for healing all kinds of pain

It healed me from back pain and acne. This is out of this world. After a month I am completely pain free.

Explains Dr. Sarno and the tms methods well

“AUDIBLE 20 REVIEW SWEEPSTAKES ENTRY” I WISH you had Ozanich’s other book i’d Purchase it as well. For anyone who wants to understand their pain (not just back pain) read all audible books from Dr. John E. Sarno (Audible has three of them) then get the two Ozanich books that Audible has. I have purchased The Great Pain Deception by Ozanich because Audible doesn’t have it. However, that is okay because I have loved being an Audible member for almost five years......back to pain😳 I can’t imagine better books than Sarno and Ozanich’s books. I’d start with Sarnos first book. I would also like to add...if you are an Eckhart Tolke fan (as I am) than these books will explain a lot of what Mr. Tolle talks/writes about....”....pain body....”

Powerful truth, a great audio

Wow! I'm a fan of Steve Ozanich's writing, since I healed 20 years of chronic low back pain in the winter of 2016 after reading his first book "the great pain deception." Yes knowledge therapy can heal your chronic pain- but it can only heal your chronic pain if you are ready, and open. Pain presents itself when we overthink and under feel. Pain also presents itself when we are taught and believe falsities about our body.

Mr. Ozanich's writing style is hilarious and funny yet effective and heart felt. My family listened to this book on a road trip to the Grand Canyon... my husband loved it and even my 9 year old and 7 year enjoyed it. (My kids have been exposed to lots of audio books, as long as I don't subject them to more Eckhart Tolle they're happy).

I'm an audibles audio book on tape geek and an aspiring author so I read and listen to books a lot... a few a week at least. I also highly suggest re listening and re-reading especially if you are in chronic pain as learning occurs through repetition.

Enjoy This amazing book! Listen to it over and over and check out Sarno's audiobooks too... listen while you drive, listen while you cook and clean :-) listen and listen again. Wishing you lots of love on your journey into healing.

Inspirational and life changing

I am a huge fan of Steve Ozanich. I listened to this audible after reading his book the Great Pain Deception
Both are incredible reads and so powerful , conveying the work of the amazing Dr John Sarno , with Ozanich’s own personal interpretation.
The audio book covers the topic comprehensive and accurately and is easy to listen to.
The topic of TMS is a crucial, life changing concept for anyone suffering from chronic , unexplained pain. The readings I have done, including these of SteveO have really changed my life for the better. Can’t recommend enough
