The New York Times bestseller -- "practical, easy to understand, and based on solid research that you can trust...an inspiring exploration of what it means to be fully human" (Andrew Weil, MD)

Based on Dr. Borysenko's groundbreaking work nearly thirty years ago at the Mind/Body linic in Boston, Minding the Body, Mending the Mind continues to be a classic in the field, with time-tested tips on how to take control of your own physical and emotional well-being.

With tips on how to elicit the mind's powerful relaxation response to boost your immune system, cope with chronic pain, and alleviate symptoms of a host of stress-related illnesses, this book is a must-have for anyone interested in taking an active role in their own healing.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"An elegant and credible blend of modern psychology and medical science that allows us to get in touch with our higher self to experience the field of infinite possibilities and brings us healing and wholeness in our busy world."
―Deepak Chopra, author of Buddha: A Story of Enlightenment

"Joan Borysenko is the smartest woman I've ever known. I urge you to drink in her wisdom. This book is a classic."
―Wayne W. Dyer, author of Change Your Thoughts-Change Your Life: Living the Wisdom of the Tao

"Whether you're a young person who hopes to live a healthy, vital, and happy life; an older person who is trying to age well and maintain your energy level and physical function; a stressed-out person yearning for balance; or someone with an acute or chronic illness that you'd like to address on all levels-body, mind and spirit-this book can help you. It's practical, easy to understand, and based on solid research that you can trust. Furthermore, Minding the Body, Mending the Mind is an inspiring exploration of what it means to be fully human-present in each moment with an open mind and an open heart. In the last analysis, that may be one of the best definitions of well being and what it means to live your best life."
―Andrew Weil, M.D., from the Foreword

"Dr. Borysenko's groundbreaking first book about the interdependency of the mind and body and the power of meditation to heal is as relevant and intriguing today as it was twenty years ago when it was first published. Her scientific perspective, clear language, and sincere appreciation for the healing journey of the body and spirit make this book a practical and heartfelt guide for all people on a path of self-discovery. . . . Minding the Body, Mending the Mind is intelligent, easy to read, experiential and in-depth, but above all, what I appreciate most is Dr. Borysenko's understanding of the human spirit and the challenges involved in the process of healing. It is this compassionate consideration that makes this a necessary read for all interested in living a happier, healthier, and more integrated life."
―Seane Corn, Yoga Instructor, National Yoga Ambassador for Youth AIDS and co-creator, "Off the Mat, Into the World"

"Dr. Joan Borysenko is a venerated pioneer in behavioral medicine and psychoneuroimmunology. In her brilliant best selling primer, written in 1987, she described how to use the mind body connection for healing and wholeness. In these times of increased stress and anxiety, the now classic Minding the Body, Mending the Mind, beautifully updated, is more important than ever. We owe it to ourselves and our patients to stay current with the latest evidence-based advances in healing. Joan has made that easy with this superb new edition."
―Janet F. Quinn, PhD, RN, FAAN, Associate Professor, Nursing, University of Colorado

"Offers a practical approach to relieving stress and anxiety."―Curve

Thank you for your response. How is determining if a book is new or not a subjective experience? Either it is or it isn't. In this case, the cover is frayed and worn, and words and passages are underlined throughout the book. It's hard to imagine any scenario where that would be considered new.

Before ordering this CD I had checked it out from the local library, so I was aware of the "voice" comments others have made. I knew by the 4th CD that I was going to buy the set (so much info to absorb, and many real-time meditation/relaxation exercises that I wasn't able to do while commuting). I'm sure some people will enjoy the way she speaks, can't satisfy everyone. As for me, I agree with many of the reviews about the way she speaks, though it's definitely worth seeing past that for the mass amount of information she provides. It's a set of 8 CD's (thought I would mention that, couldn't find it stated anywhere).

Have used this book for 20+ years. It was recommended to be by a pastor and I have purchased several over the years for others. The first time I read it I was told to skip the first chapter and read the parts in the following chapters that were of interest to me. After a few months read the book again from cover to cover and see how much you have learned, applied to your life and notice what does not apply to you. The auther has a gift to share.

I was concerned when I ordered the item with "expedite delivery" and got the message confirming my order saying that it was going to take over 7 days to deliver! I contacted customer service and they promptly responded explaining it will be about 2 days (This is what I expected from expedite service). The book arrived in excellent condition at the "expedited" time.

My only recommendation to the vendor is to change the confirmation message and reflect the settings for expedite delivery.

Kudos for the quick response excellent customer service.

This book is fantastic and I highly recommend. What makes it a tab bettr than Mindfulnes for Dummies is the author's psychology background. Many psychological terms and solutions are easily explained. A must read for anyone searching for peace of mind and who want to take control!

Dr. Borysenko has written an extremely important book. She explains beautifully in a detailed yet easy to understand manner the biological underpinnings of anxiety and its relationship to the immune system and medical illness. Her recommendations have practical applications as she makes very concrete recommendations for remediating stress. I recommend it to every patient who presents with anxiety. This book is truly classic.

An excellent book embodying Mind-Body paradigo. I had read the first edition and I had prescribed the book to my students who were majoring in Wellness program. I appreciate the updated version of the book. It is filled with valuable information, exercises to learn by doing and a comprehensive pre - post- evaluation questionnaire. Thank you Dr. Joan Borysenko.
