Over the past twenty years, an explosion of scientific studies
have helped to explain why our state of mind may exert such a
strong influence on the state of our health. In "Mind-Body Unity"
science writer Henry Dreher weighs the results of leading-edge
mind-body research, and he concludes that mind and body are not
merely connected, they are unified. Our minds play a role in
health, Dreher argues, the way our eyes play a role in sight.
Integrating biological research on mind-body unity with
psychosocial research on emotions in human health, Dreher surveys
remarkable findings on the role of emotions, coping, and
personality in coronary heart disease; on psychosocial factors in
cancer progression and survival; and on the social dimensions of
human health. He also describes mind-body approaches to the
treatment of cancer, women's health conditions, somatization
disorder, and in surgery. Finally, Dreher provides a critical
overview of the social and political context of this research, from
the presentations of leading popularizers such as Bernie Siegel and
Deepak Chopra, to the experiences of practitioners and patients, to
the resistance of mainstream medicine, to the many exciting
possibilities suggested by a deeper understanding of how mind and
body are inextricably bound.

Hope and courage from the ageless wisdom of the Psalms: For
generations, the Book of Psalms has been a source of comfort for
those ill or grieving. The Healing Power of Psalms identifies how
each of 15 Psalms addresses particular situations, for when the
reader is dealing with fear, loneliness, death, guilt, and more,
and it underscores how the Psalms' themes of compassion and mercy
can have a dramatic healing effect on the mind, spirit, and
sometimes even the body. - Ecumenical inspiration from one of the
United States's most highly regarded and pioneering spiritual
teachers: For more than half a century, Rabbi Samuel Chiel has
advised members of his Boston-area congregation (where he is now
rabbi emeritus) to turn to their religious faith when despair and
fear become overwhelming. Longtime host of NBC's Eternal Light,
Chiel has also been a pioneer in interfaith relations and in
speaking to broad audiences about spiritual topics.
