Molecules of Emotion – The Science Behind Mind-Body Medicine

Description

Why do we feel the way we feel? How do our thoughts and emotions affect our health? Are our bodies and minds distinct from each other or do they function together as parts of an interconnected system? In her ground breaking book Molecules of Emotion, Candace Pert provides startling and decisive answers to these and other challenging questions that scientists and philosophers have pondered for centuries. Dr. Pert explains the ground breaking experiments that prove that the mind and the body are not two separate entities, but are one interconnected information system – the bodymind.

Her pioneering research on how the chemicals inside our bodies form a dynamic information network, linking mind and body, is not only provocative, it is revolutionary. By establishing the bio-molecular basis for our emotions and explaining these new scientific developments in a clear and accessible way, Pert empowers us to understand ourselves, our feelings, and the connection between our minds and our bodies – body-minds – in ways we could never possibly have imagined before.
