Peace, Love and Healing: Bodymind Communication & the Path to Self-Healing: An Exploration – A Classic on Consciousness, Attitude, and the Science of Innate Healing

Bernie Siegel has no doubt saved a lot of lives (including my dad) and has also improved the quality and meaning of my life. He wrote this book at a time when his ideas were viewed as insane and he was laughed at for the way in which he believes the mind and body are one in the same. Nowadays he is revered by doctors who have learned that he was right on the money. I think his work was a big part of the changes in medicine we have seen over the past 20 years.

This book was given to me when I had a liver transplant. What a blessing! Now I give it to anyone who faces a serious health situation. For me, it was an introduction into how I could help myself heal - by putting my mind to work to that end. It was my introduction to the mind-body connection, and how powerful the mind is in the healing process. I'm 25 years post-transplant, and happy to have been introduced to the concept that a healthy lifestyle also includes a healthy attitude. Every little bit helps - while medicine has come a long way - there is much that we can do for ourselves when it comes to healing. Thank you Dr. Siegel!

I’ve ordered it multiple times, this book can really give hope to people in hopeless seeming medical situations

Excellent advice and stories to give one hope. I received it as a gift and have since given it to friends now faced with life changing events

I have Crowing Disease and this book has helped me deal with my doctors appointments and fears that come with them. it has given me empowerment to take control of my treatment and I highly recommend this book to anyone dealing with chronic illness.

Beautiful and powerful book... great for anyone who works in or utilizes health care (so... everyone). Stayed up reading it all night when my mom died. She had been reading it when she died of cancer and I was just looking for a quote to use at her service but couldn't stop reading. Should be required reading for clinicians

I have read all of Dr. Siegel's books and love them all. He has such good advise for anyone going through cancer treatments and for family. Such positive information that is helpful coping with life, you don't have to have cancer to benefit from this book. I plan to read it again.

I loaned out my copy a few days ago to the relative of a woman I don't even know because she is dealing with the throwing up her chemo is causing. Siegel discusses mental ways to hang in there and even stop it. I hadn't looked in it for awhile and saw parts I had forgotten so I had trouble loaning it out! I should just break down and buy another copy...

A great book for those battling cancer. Gives you hope and increases your faith. Help with accepting the situation.Thank you

A superb book that all doctors and patients should read.

This most recent purchase of 'Peace, Love and Healing' was for a family member but I read it when it was first published in the UK and have re-read it many times since. I bought it initially because I work as an energy healer and also use visualisation and dream interpretation. What makes this book so readable and believable is that Dr Bernie Siegel is an oncologist surgeon who was going to give up his work because he was 'sick' of seeing sick people with grave prognosis' and decided to learn additional techniques. 'Peace, Love and Healing' is written with integrity and includes practical, attainable, self-help suggestions for even the most severely ill and their families. I have lent my copy to various people and now have a second especially for that purpose. 'Peace, Love and Healing' does not follow any spiritual or religious dogma and for Bernie Siegel, 'god' is the intelligent force which he believes resides in every cell of our body and that when we learn to 'communicate' with this force we can boost our immune system, lower blood pressure and fight diseases including cancers. Above all 'Peace,Love and Healing' encourages hope; and to quote Dr Carl Simonton, whom Dr Bernie Siegel refers to in his first book, 'Love, Medicine and Miracles', 'In the face of uncertainty there's nothing wrong with hope'.

A serious study on the effects of mind on illness and dealing with it. A good thought provoking book well worth reading.

Good
