In this dramatic new approach to understanding personal health, Dr.
Pelletier shows how lifelong good health is far more dependent on a
positive, purposeful life orientation than on aerobic workouts and
rigid low-fat diets. He challenges the medical community's
long-accepted focus on the "disease model" and proposes a positive
new health paradigm.
Sound Mind, Sound Body examines the lives of people who are
rarely ill, who manage aging successfully, or who cope extremely
well with both acute and chronic illness -- and describes how they
do it. Among Dr. Pelletier's fascinating findings:
-- People who overcome serious illness or physical trauma in
childhood are often actually strengthened -- not debilitated -- by
the experience.
-- People who enjoy a sense of belonging and a real connection with
others generally pass through periods of intense stress and remain
untouched by illness.
-- Altruistic work is closely related to the ability to overcome
life-threatening crises and disease.
-- There is a healthy way of being ill, which can help a person
manage such chronic problems as arthritis and heart disease.
In addition, Sound Mind, Sound Body offers practical, effective
techniques to help anyone achieve physical, mental, and emotional
equilibrium and enjoy a lifetime of optimal health.
