Genre: Health / Self Help Author: Larry Dossey M.D. Edition: Published by Time Warner 2001 – Paperback – Very good secondhand condition.
If modern medicine is to be a healing art, it must embrace three ideas it has too long ignored. It must address not only our bodies, but our minds and spirits as well; it must deal not only with the mechanism of illness but with its meaning; and it must recognise that our power to heal and be healed extends beyond our physical bodies. In these writings Dr. Larry Dossey explores the relationship between science and “unscientific” topics such as prayer, love, laughter, work, war, creativity, dreams and immortality.
