The Healing Self: A Revolutionary New Plan to Supercharge Your Immunity and Stay Well for Life: A Longevity Book

My journey toward a holistic approach to mind and health wasn't a choice. I was forced into it when I woke up one morning to extreme inflammation and symptoms that doctors said were textbook for a herniated disc in my neck. However no matter how many tests I took, and how hard they looked, doctors found nothing wrong with me. They had no explanation for the severity of my symptoms, or even why I had them at all. At first I was upset. They were doctors. Shouldn't they have the answers? And then, by chance, I stumbled across "structural integration", and a practitioner who was an herbalist, and deeply rooted in the mind/body connection.It was then, in steps, that I came to understand how profound of an effect my chronic depression, and then extreme anxiety had had on my body. I got this book because I was specifically interested in the chapter on inflammation, and the body's reaction to stress. What I found, however, was the most thorough book I've ever read on the physical proof behind an unhealthy diet and mind.My road away from anxiety, toward health and wellness, has been long and hard, and it's still in progress. I've been targeting books on anxiety, diet, and meditation for months now, but this book offered me something I felt I'd been missing. The why's of what I'm doing. And it also put a face and a name to what I've otherwise been struggling to define. What I'm doing, where I'm trying to go, what is my ultimate outcome? I've KNOWN what it is for a long time, but defining clearly has been difficult. But today, with this book, I found my definition:"If you pay attention, there are many moments when you feel safe and secure; life looks beautiful; the mind is quiet and calm; you feel free of regret and worries; the past brings no bad memories; you find it easy to accept and appreciate your life and the people in it; an inner joy bubbles up; or you somehow feel that a higher presence exists and enfolds you."THAT is it! That's the definition I've been missing. The previously undefined goal I'm moving toward. I have long been working on many of the concepts or changes found in this book, but it brought them together in a way I found entirely enlightening and rewarding, and I also feel as if it will have a profound impact on my life moving forward!!!

I am a big Deepak Chopra fan and have now been introduced to Rudolph Tanzi. The Healing Self educates, entertains, and motivates. Lower your stress merely by lifting this book. As always I thank Amazon Kindle Unlimited. Life is great! Read and Heal!

This book is fantastic and I find the basic message to be true to me as a Christian. It has a bit too much eastern intrigue and evolution but the basis of mind/body needing to work together to control and enhance the immune system and promote healing I find a good true message. Christians have been meditating on the Word of God for eons - the thought that meditation is suddenly a Eastern creation is ridiculous. It is Healing to spend time inside yourself and the book enforces the idea of 'Belief' being very good for people. These young Americans coming up who have no relationship with God and who believe the Government can save them from everything are in for miserable, unhealthy, disease-ridden lives. Let's pray for them to wake up.

I love all of Deepak Chopra books

Enjoy reading for more healthy lifestyle.

My doctor (hematologist) asked me to read this book when I told her I had let go of all the medicines because my neurosurgen had just told me that my periferic polyneuropathy was caused by wrongful medication during years. He also told me I didn't need any of the medication I was taking because there was nothing wrong with me. The book is fantastic and I am changing my life completely. I eat right now, exercise and have made lots of other changes. Great !!!

I've always enjoyed Deepak Chopra's books. but this one was especially helpful.I spent last year in the hospital through ER three different times. I have Afib and other heart related issues.I appreciate Dr. Chopra's holistic approach to healing. Our western medicine leaves much to be desired.his book is well researched and yet written so the layman can benefit from the studies done.health does not have to be a complicated matter. and it gave me courage to take control of my own.I recommend this book to anyone who wishes to make common sense and a real doctor's guide to their own body a combined plan for optimal health!

I purchased and paid for a new copy plus shipping and received an old copy but charged full price. Would kindly like a refund or new copy that was paid for.
