Product Description

From Library Journal

The editors and their associates at the Mind/Body Medical Institute of the New England Deaconess Hospital and Harvard Medical School hope to make their "experience in treating chronic and stress-related symptoms available to those not able to attend" their Boston-based behavioral medicine clinics. In 24 chapters, the reader is "introduced to the essentials of healthy lifestyle, including the relaxation response, nutrition, exercise, and stress management." The workbook format includes short patient histories, space for write-in exercises and personal data, charts, and diagrams. Overall, this material is also covered in greater detail and a better format in the Wellness Encyclopedia ( LJ 2/15/91); the more personalized log in The Wellness Book makes it most appropriate for individual purchase.

Product Description

The Mind/Body Connection

Millions of readers are familiar with the work of Dr. Herbert Benson and the Mind/Body Medical Institute from the mega-bestselling book The Relaxation Response. With over three million copies in print, it is a classic in the field of mind/body medicine. Now, in The Wellness Book, Dr. Benson, Eileen Stuart, and their colleagues at the Institute have created the definitive resource that shows you how to maintain your health and treat stress-related illnesses, including:

high blood pressure

cardiovascular disease

chronic pain

infertility

insomnia

women's health concerns

anxiety

symptoms of HIV and cancer

The Wellness Book reflects the cutting edge of health care, giving you the opportunity to gain more control over your own well-being. Use of the book, in combination with modern medical treatments, will aid in prevention and treatment of a number of illnesses and, according to USA Today, "legitimizes the mind/body connection in traditional medicine."

5.0 out of 5 stars Comprehensive and practical, Oct 3 2005

By A Customer

I have read many books on the subject of Stress-induced illness, and have found this one to be the most comprehensive and practical. They have a way with words, which enables the explanations and lessons to really 'sink in'.

By A Customer

The Wellness Book has been extremely helpful to me and is one of the best investments I have made in myself. I first used this book 10 years ago and was able to establish some healthful living goals and actions for myself that improved my physical conditioning immensely. I continue to use it today. What I really like about this book is that it enables each reader to really focus in on their individual lifestyles, needs, and habits and develop specific, realistic, and individualized action plans for improved and healthful living. The improved physical condition that I realized as a result of focusing on a plan and actions enabled me to climb mountains in the Sierra Nevada. I have also used techniques in this book to successfully address anxiety. This week I pulled the book off of my shelf and am going at it again. I am having fun with this exercise because I can compare my "10 loves" from 10 years ago to my "10 loves" of today and put a plan in place to realize them. Many thanks to the authors for such insightful and all emcompassing work. This book is as useful and current today as it was the day it was written.
