The Healing Self

A Revolutionary New Plan to Supercharge Your Immunity and Stay Well for Life

By: Deepak Chopra M.D., Rudolph E. Tanzi Ph.D.

Narrated by: Shishir Kurup

Length: 12 hrs and 29 mins

Publisher's summary

Combining the best current medical knowledge with a new approach grounded in integrative medicine, Chopra and Tanzi offer a groundbreaking new model of healing and the healing system, one of the main mysteries in the mind-body connection.

The Healing Self is a breakthrough audiobook in self-care for a wide audience. Immunity - the body's ability to ward off disease - can no longer be taken for granted. Current trends in the public health are disturbing. From increased jet travel, allowing newly mutated bacteria and viruses to have a worldwide reach, to MRSA and other antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria that are outstripping new drugs to fight them, to an increase in deaths from hospital-acquired infections, to an aging population whose childhood vaccinations are losing their effectiveness, our well-being is at a dangerous crossroads.

Yet Chopra and Tanzi see hope and offer new ways of increasing the body's immune system by stimulating the brain, our genes, helping to reduce inflammation in the body and increase our capacities to fight off illness and disease. In the brain, it has been long believed that only the innate immune system is at work. However, the recent exciting discovery that the brain possesses a lymphatic system means that it is also tied into adaptive immune system (antibodies, T- and B-cells, etc.). This knowledge can be used together with new facts about the gut microbiome to help reduce neuro-inflammation with changes in lifestyle, diet, and stress reduction.

LIFE CHANGING

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes, absolutely... and I have already recommended to many! This book is empowering...backed by science. Knowledge is power, and this book brings that point home on a very personal level for all.

What did you like best about this story?

It's empowering.... to be informed of the changes one can make to positively affect every facet of their liife. Not just the "what to do", but the "why/how it works".

Have you listened to any of Shishir Kurup’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

No

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes, but due to the medical science nature of the content, it requires focus while listening.
It's a lot to absorb and if I played it when there were distractions, I found myself rewinding often to relisten. At that point, I knew it was better to stop and resume later when I wouldn't miss out on any of it!

A must read

This was a great read for me after beating colorectal cancer, with no need for surgery, despite what the doctors predicted. I started reading/listening to it during treatments, and finished a few months afterward. Loved the writing style and also liked his voice.

inspiring

Chopra leads you to discover how to heal yourself, inside out, with every word writ

Informative, Insightful and a Pause for self-reflection

I just finished this audiobook and I loved it because it is a wealth of knowledge based on scientific studies presented in a personable way. Everything is easy to understand, it is not a book of science lingo that’s difficult to follow!

The narrator sounds friendly and overall caring with this awesome information about how the body heals itself & how to promote the continuation of the natural healing tendencies of our bodies. 🤓🧠🥳🥰🤗

A book everyone should listen (or read)

I am a well being facilitator and recommend this book to everyone that wants to discover their power of being. I met Dr. Deepak Chopra last February and had a great interview about this book. This book explains in plain words the truth about being healthy. Its not about diet, regiment, etc. Its about knowing the SELF and taking control of your health.
