I highly recommend this book,I didn't buy the newest version,
but it still contain the essesnce high yield concept.Thin,so easy to carry.It's also great benefit for me .

If you want to score high on the neuroanatomy section on Step 1,
you need to own a copy of this book.
Plain and simple.

Very good review book for Step 1 neuroanatomy section - since this is very high yield. Cover all you need to know to tackle this field on exam. Covers more than FA but is not as exhausting as Kaplan notes.

Getting confused with studying anatomy of the brain? This is a book for you! It is far better than dozen of other neuroanatomy books! It gives you a lot of details and it's easy to read, too! I'm studying for the USMLE step 1 exam and I will keep it handy all the time!

The USMLE has become increasingly focused on neuro over the past few years, and First Aid has become more and more inadequate with respect to neuro. This book is a great way to prepare for the neuro questions on Step 1. It's a slender book and is thus a very quick read --- heck, I'm a slow reader and finished it in 2.5 days. At the beginning of the book are several images of brain sections, with arrows pointing to the most important structures. The book also has radiologic images (MRA, MRI, CT) which were very helpful for me when I took Step 1 --- actually, I remember having 3 distinct questions with an accompanying MRA image. The book does a good job of explaining the basic function/organization of the different parts of the brain in a concise manner. There were a few sections that I thought were a little too detailed for Step 1 --- especially the cerebellum section. Overall, though, it's a wonderful book and it will help you to nail the neuro questions on the USMLE.

This is not your usual "water book". Marks has clearly dedicated his life to his relationship and stewardship of water. This is a different read from other "water dialogues" that often lean to more clinical or marketing formats. This writing is as much about helping everyone understand our relationship with water as it is about Marks' personal pilgrimage toward a fuller understanding and awareness of water's role in our existence.

This is not a quick read as Marks offers us many examples of exactly what place in our life, our towns, our planets and our universe he is convinced water holds.

Marks supports his premise that water should be treated as a living being with historical writings from some of our greatest thinkers and teachers.

He endeavors to show us his perspective of how threatened our planetary water supply is currently. At the same time, he also casts examples of legal, group activity and recent dialogue that he believes provides us with hope that we can slow down and possibly even resolve the damage done.

It's well worth reading.

My friend & I traded water books. I am finishing The Holy Order of Water now and she is finishing Fresh Water: Women Writing on the Great Lakes by Alison Swan (Editor). The Holy Order of Water is a great, great book although it's a bit science heavy in parts for me. At one point I thought, "Hmmm, I haven't read so much Latin since high school!" Anyway Marks is a delightful person. I researched him a little on line. There are more books in him. I hope he does not keep it all inside too long. I look forward to hearing more from him. He has so much respect for nature.

The book tries so hard to be relevant and interesting. Vortex energy, spiritual nature of water. I'm just not buying it. Don't get me wrong. I love water; I think it's important. And, sure it's mysterious. But it's not that mysterious. Some people may like the author's ideas, but I find them to be science-lite, a bit disappointing for a book on water.

I am an artist and read The Holy Order of Water about three years ago when I was painting a body of work about water. This interesting mix of personal anecdotes, mythology, and science, supports the realization that I've had after living on a lake for 14 years that water is alive. It gave me lots to ponder while working and I've since decided to focus all of my work on water. Thank you, William E. Marks, for your efforts to raise awareness and preserve water resources.

Hello H2O Lovers,

As a layperson on the path of being a true leader in the H2O movement, I am very glad to have been offered this book to open my eyes about the elixir of life.

This book is astounding in its clarity and authenticity. Its fun to read and brings home my actual deepest feelings about water.

It brings you a masterful tapestry from the authors life story, the science, the philosophy and even the spirituality of water.

Read it. I promise it will trasform your life and it will transform your relationship with water.

You will never relate to a cup of water in quite the same way again.

Truly,

I won't say much here, because the other reviewers have described the book well. All I will say is that this is one of the very best books I have ever read. Not only does Lappe have an incredible way with words, but she summarizes her profound insights in such a way that really organizes one's thoughts for genuine reflection. Add to that a well-documented and researched approach, as well as fascinating stories of different communities around the world which they themselves visited.

READ THIS BOOK! Since the first Diet for a Small Planet came out in the 1970's, I've had a profound change in my thinking about planetary health. I read once about how much the bio-waste of dinosaurs affected the atmosphere of the early planet- decaying flesh, methane emissions, pushing the planet into global warming. Frances Moore Lappe informed me that not only is the methane associated with our meat industry a problem, the interrelated costs to the environment of the feed industry- nitrogen, fuel emissions, methane, etc- are enough to tip the scale to disaster by themselves. I just read a story- just this second- 12/17/08- on the Discovery Channel website, about the meat industry nitrogen effluent (7 million tons per year) causing a dead zone presently the size of Massachussetts in the water of the Gulf of Mexico, and it is expected that without help, it will eventually kill the Gulf like the Dead Sea. Well, Ms. Lappe has been talking about this stuff for thirty years. I used to think she was a shrill Chicken Little. No more. There are too many people for us to blindly do what ever we please. As a group, we've got to institute controls. READ THIS BOOK!

This is a very interesting book. It features in one part a detailed description of 2006 Nobel Peace Prize winner Muhammad Yunus and his Grameen Bank, who used microloans to help Bangladeshis, especially women, get out of poverty and earn for themselves. By issuing very small loans, the people of Bangladesh are able to build their businesses or working conditions and change their lives. I recommend this book.

Thirty years after the publication of the highly acclaimed "Diet For A Small Planet", Frances and her daughter Anna Lappe have come out with a potent sequel and a beautiful statement of hope for a more equitable world through the world-wide spread of organic and sustainable agriculture techniques and locally controlled "fair" market modalities now challenging the status quo of chemical fed, toxic pesticide/GMO laden crops, and the lopsided "free" market capitalist WTO agenda that has been reaping havoc on the environment and small farmers everywhere.

The Lappes traveled to 5 continents while researching this book and their travels are both fascinating and uplifting as they report on people all over the world demonstrating that going organic and controlling their own markets are reaping major benefits in healthy, abundant food production while cleaning up the environment.

The Lappes do not reject world trade or capitalism, rather, they demonstrate how unregulated "free" markets monopolized by huge international corporations have been inadvertently causing food scarcity, bankrupting and polluting people all over the world, yet with an injection of regulation in the form ethics, strict fair trade measures, etc., they believe capitalism can "evolve" to a more sustainable, equitable, and healthy method of food distribution- a similar optimistic view shared by Lovins and Hawken in their book, "Natural Capitalism".

The inefficiencies of nutrient and food distribution is brought home in quantifying the huge amount of crops, water, and land required to feed cattle. The amount of energy necessary to produce an ounce of meat could feed hundreds of people on a much healthier vegetarian diet, hence, the myth of food scarcity and the need to grow more food to feed the world.

Every chapter finishes with a recipe and there are many more at the end of the book along with several pages of resources and contact information on a host of organizations advocating social responsibility.

Good copy. Excellent vegetarian recipes. Explains why we need to eat lower on the food chain. If we do, we can feed the world's hungry people.

In my opinion this book is an excellent resource for those suffering and those who know someone with diabetes.

My teenage son was diagnosed recently with Type 1 Diabetes, it was very scary not knowing anything about Diabetes. This book is easy to understand and it explains everything about Type 1 diabetes. Wonderful help to me.

Great book for the Type 1 patient or the parent/spouse/family member of one.
Gives good suggestions on a variety of topics. Well worth the money.

I have found this book VERY helpful. From time to time we have questions/concerns that come up, we have found easy to understand answers/advise for real life issues.

This book has helped us so much.
The doctors don't help you too much so you are left with a million questions and this book has helped so much.
This disease is so overwelming and this book is so helpful in easy to understand words.
Instead of going into a panic when something happens we now just go to the book and it calms us right down.
Thank God this book is here.

Rozelle's memoir of life in Texas drifts easily between his childhood, one in which he idolized his father and feared/misunderstood his mother, and his adulthood as he father descends into dementia. This poignant story paints a vivid picture of a time of innocence and security, of schools where teachers are in charge, and parents are not trying to be "buddies." Each of the characters, from Brown to Miss Mae and Uncle Gaston, is painted with a light, unique touch. This book brought me both wise words and tears.
It is a wonderful experience.

The simple title belies a great author and an even greater reading experiance.

The author writes so that you actually *feel* you are there and know the streets and towns and things he speaks of and what you couldn't possibly see with your minds eye--he makes you feel with your heart.

A"MUST-READ" for anyone who has ever had a death made worse, by things left unspoken.

Into That Good Night may well be the best book I've ever read. Having been raised in a small Texas town in the same era, it really hit home. Ron's story of life's experiences, of loves and losses, is a heart felt story that is enjoyable and easy to read. It is a wonderfully written story of growing up when racism was really becoming an issue in the south, of his beloved father's Alzheimers, and much, much more. I highly recommend this book.

THIS BOOK COMPLETELY OVERWHELMED ME. I LIVED IT ONCE, AND NOW I'VE LIVED IN AGAIN THROUGH RON'S EYES. THERE ARE NO WORDS TO DESCRIBE OUR FATHER. HE TAUGHT US INTEGRITY, COMPASSION, HONESTY, AND LOVE WITH HIS QUIET WAYS AND GENTLY DEMEANOR. HE WAS BIGGER THAN LIFE TO ME. IT WAS SO HARD TO SEE WHAT HE HAD BECOME WHEN ALZHEIMERS TOOK OVER. HE HAD THE SAME SWEET DEMEANOR, BUT SOMETIMES DIDN'T RECOGNIZE US. IT WAS HARD, AND RON TOLD THE STORY BEAUTIFULLY. I CAN JUST SEE OUR DAD'S BEAUTIFUL BLUE EYES TWINKLE IN PLEASURE. THANK YOU RON FOR THIS WONDERFUL GIFT. I LOVE YOU...DIANE

This is one of the best books I have ever read! I devoured it in a day. Beautifully written.

This book is so funny. I laughed many times until I cried which is just what I needed. Anyone that has experienced cancer in any form should read this book.

I have now read dozens of books about breast cancer and this book sits at the top of my list. To start with, she's so right that it really isn't about the hair and she guides the reader to examine what "it" (cancer) really is about.

Loved her humor and her down to earth spirituality. My own experience with breast cancer almost totally mirrors hers. As I read, it was like sitting down with someone and sharing the experiences. But sometimes, she was able to put a new perspective on the experience and it helped.

I have given this book to other breast cancer survivors with no fear that somehow I will be offending their personal sensibilities.

This book is an inspiring story that reminds us that life can be lived joyfully, no matter what challenges we face. The author is an example for all to follow, no matter whether we have faced cancer, or not. It's a great selection for book club discussions.

A friend going through breast cancer told me about this book. I got it from the library and could not put it down. Debra Jarvis is a chaplain at a well respected Cancer clinic in Seattle, and in a twist of irony, she is diagnosed with cancer (one week after her mother's similar diagnosis.)

(Reviewer disclosure: I do not have cancer, nor am I religious.)
Jarvis puts "God" in a perspective to which even I can relate.

Sounds like it might be dark, but Jarvis's humor, wisdom, faith and grace are both enlightened and hysterical. She has a wicked sense of humor. I've since bought this book for several people and will continue to. If you're having a tough time, due to health, emotional or any other worries and can't seem to see past the dark clouds, I highly recommend this book. She is inspiring and the book is a gift.

This book is written in such a personable manner, I felt like I was making a friend while reading the book. The way Debra deals with painful and scary situations with humor and caring diffuse the negative emotions attached to cancer, hospitals and dying. I was really impressed with how she integrated different styles of spirituality into a practice that sounds flexible and comfortable. I am not an active church goer anymore, but Debra's welcoming acceptance of others and continuing search for answers for the big questions in life gave me interest in more actively pursuing a spiritual life. She gives me hope that I will some day find a spiritual community to grow with.

The one yoga meditation book that outlines the research and science behind the practice plus includes easy to follow kundalini yoga activities for meaningful results. Disorders or no disorders this book has captured the essence of knowledge that is beneficial for everyone.Kundalini Yoga Meditation: Techniques Specific for Psychiatric Disorders, Couples Therapy, and Personal Growth

This is a wonderful book that I strongly recommend it to everyone that has mental illness like OCD, Depression, etc. I am an OCD patient for a few year. I have a full time job and the ocd and anxiety normally came 2-3 times per week. After I found this book and also bought the author's DVD for OCD, and followed the instruction. After a month, I felt my OCD get improved, and after 3 months, my OCD disappeared. So if you didn't see the improvement in a short time, just keep your faith and keep doing it. It will show. I am looking forward to see the author in the near future and learn more about Kundalini yoga to treat my other mental illness. I have been recommended this book to all my friends who had mental illness or who had friends that were mentally ill. It was truely a blessing that I get a chance to learn this book.

The techniques contained in David Shannahof-Khalsa's book are easy to follow and extremely effective. I highly recommend it to anyone attempting to heal themselves or others. In an age when Eastern and Western medicine are joining forces to combat many illnesses, Kundalini yoga is leading the charge by performing scientific studies on the efficacy of its techniques. Bravo.

I came across KUNDALINI YOGA MEDITATION while doing research for my new book, MORE CLLIENT HANDOUTS FOR BRIEFER DEEPER THERAPY. Shannahoff-Khalsa's idea that selectively activating one half of the autonomic nervous system through unilateral forced nostril breathing made immediate sense to my untrained medical mind. The other findings I was discovering on meditation used brain scan imaging to show that changes in activity levels in various centers of the brain produced results that can reverse medical and emotional problems. Shannahoff-Khalsa's methods are more specific to particular anxiety and mood disorders. As a mental health practitioner with over 30 years of experience I am excited to have a tool that can work at the neurobiological level. I will need traininging in Kundalini Yoga and will have to find ways to adapt methods to the very conservative population I treat in central Florida.

This book is unlike any other. Clearly written so that anyone may absorb the wealth of knowledge offered here. Shannahoff-Khalsa weaves together scientific insights to a plethora of conditions/disorders, but also includes practical & proven tools to alleviate them. Not to mention the precise data to back up his years of research. This book both functions as an invaluable reference, but also flows like a well written novel. It keeps you wanting more! I am not a scientist, nor a doctor, but i am a teacher of Kundalini Yoga and use this information constantly. It contains the most common issues my students present & is a lifesaver for anyone looking to TAKE ACTION towards health and happiness.
My husband & I had to purchase a second copy as we both consistently use it. In laymen's terms David Shannenhoff-Khalsa provides you with "the whole ball of wax!"
This book is for EVERYONE desiring a way to alleviate the aforementioned challenges, be it for themselves, their patients or their loved ones.
Thank You David!

I LOVE! LOVE! LOVE the Dr. Hippo series of books! They are a must have for any parent or those who care for young children.

The stories are easy to read and understand for children. The artwork is colorful, cheery and adoable.

I found the parent information section in the back pocket a must have. I learn a lot about everyday ailments that I never knew before.

I love these books!

"The Little Elephant with the Big Earache" begins when all of Eddie the elephant's cousins arrive on Wednesday to help celebrate his birthday. They run down to the river and start building mud castles for the Mud Castle Contest on Saturday. Wednesday evening, however, Eddie wakes up in the middle of the night because his ear is hurting him. His mom gives him some medicine and says that they will see the doctor in the morning. After a visit to the Dr. Hippocrates, the doctor determines that it is an early ear infection and that they are just going to monitor it. By Saturday Eddie feels better just in time to enjoy his party!

Cayden: "His ears hurt!"
Max: "Hurt! Hurt!"

Max: Pointing to the picture of Eddie crying: "Cry!"
Cayden: "He looks sad because he is sick Max."

Cayden: "Why would they sit on the porch in the middle of the night?"

Cayden: "Why doesn't he like to go to the doctor? I like to go to the doctor!"
Max: "Like!"

Cayden: "Why is he wearing his blanket as a cape? Maybe he doesn't want it to fall in the road on the way out to the car."

Cayden: "My favorite part was when the doctor looked in his ears to see what was wrong."

Cayden: "I also liked the pictures of when they were building those mud castles, especially the elephant one!"

Little Eddie the elephant is having a birthday. All of his family have gathered at the lake for an exciting weekend. There will be cake and ice cream and a mud castle contest. Eddie is so excited!

The first night though, poor Eddie can't sleep because his ear hurts. He wakes up his mom, who tries to make him feel better. In the morning, she takes him to see Dr. Hippo. At first, Eddie is nervous, but quickly learns the doctor is kind and funny. Soon Eddie is on the road to recovery and can enjoy the rest of his birthday weekend. He even wins the mud castle contest!

This book is gorgeous! My two-year-old was captivated from front cover to back by the bright illustrations.

Also, the pages are thick enough that he can't rip them out! Even my eight-year-old enjoyed the story. The best part for me was the laminated trifold instruction leaflet in the back of the book. It was filled with all the information every parent needs concerning infections, including when to consult your doctor.

Armchair Interviews says: A book for kids that even helps parents.

Written by pediatrician Charlotte Cowan, The Little Elephant with the Big Earache is a children's picturebook dealing with the subject of ear infections in terms young readers age 2-7 can understand. After young Eddie the elephant spends the day making mud castles with his cousin, he comes down with a terrible earache. His mother looks after him during the night, and Dr. Hippo offers reassurance the next day. Will Eddie get better in time for his birthday party? An accompanying fold-out card "Ear Infections Made Easy: Answers to Common Questions" serves as a useful quick-reference guide for parents concerned about what to do when their children have ear infections. Highly recommended.

My 3-year-old daughter, who is almost never sick, and my 7-year-old son, who has frequent ear infections, both love this story. Although the plot line is simple and straightforward, they seem attracted to its familiarity: Eddie wakes in the middle of the night feeling sick; his mother comforts him; they go to the doctor; he feels better...just like real life, in their view. They also find the pictures extremely engaging. At first glance, the illustrations attract merely with their bright colors and whimsy, but upon further readings, the kids began to notice all the smaller details: the various ages and sizes of the party guests, the giraffes enjoying an outdoor fountain, the placement of the blue ribbon at the end. Almost all kids experience earaches, and almost all parents learn to cope with them; this book provides a soothing reflection of one of childhood's most common events. My kids are looking forward to reading more books by Dr. Cowan.

This is a really fascinating read! For people who are interested in the unknown reasons for why tragic events happen, Goss's book will surely be a best seller. I don't think anyone could write fiction as unbelievable as this.

--An "I can't wait for more like this" fan.

As a health care professional, I was definitely impressed by THE LUCKIEST UNLUCKY MAN ALIVE. I have always been interested in the outcomes of illness and how people relate to the same situations differently. The outcome is in the belief system of the afflicted. This book talks about getting past adversity that we all have to face at some time in our life. It is really fascinating, especially for those of us who want to find meaning in the tragic events that plague us mortals.

I loved the book and it reminds us all how short life is and how we need to live it to the fullest. I have already loaned the book to a melanoma survivor in hopes it will be an inspirational story to her.

It is easy to read and well worth the money.

YOU WANT TO READ THIS BOOK ON PERSONAL AND PROFESSIONAL FULFILLMENT! If people invested their money like Bill Goss invested in life, we'd all be billionaires.....Executives can relate with Bill's background as a Navy pilot because we too fly high-performance aircraft at over 500 mph---it's called your company---and we're all on this plane together---and we don't want to crash and burn either! ..................YOU'RE GONNA WANT TO GET YOUR TWO HANDS ON THIS BOOK AND READ EVERY WORD OF IT!

Retired Navy pilot Bill Goss' autobiography chronicles his life-threatening experiences, including a bout with a quick-killing cancer, auto accidents, a plane wreck and the collapse of a mine that left him dangling over a chasm by his safety belt.

The Associated Press...

Syracuse Herald American, November 7, 1999...

....Young Bill Goss plunged his head into a sink full of water, hoping to get the wethead look of Elvis Presley. His head wedged between two facets as the water poured in. Bill, just 9 years old then, thought for sure he was going to drown.

"My screams dissipated into gurgling noises, since my face was immersed in the water," he recalls. "My head was too big and the basin too small. There was simply no way I could get my hands around my face to to unplug the lifesaving stopper and drain the water. That's when I knew I was going to die."

Goss survived by ripping out two hunks of scalp, denting the facet handles. It was the first of 30 near-death experiences that he says he survived over the next three decades. From mine collapses to plane wrecks, his dances with the grim reaper are recounted in his book, "The Luckiest Unlucky Man Alive."

TAKING ON CANCER. The most threatening of the retired Navy pilot's experiences began five years ago with a small pink cyst-like bump behind his ear. Navy and civilian doctors told him to get his life in order because the cyst was a rare form of malignant melanoma, a quick killer. In a desperate attempt to stay alive, Goss found a doctor who removed his left ear and 200 lymph nodes.

The stitches along the side of his head and down his neck made the dashing naval officer look like he had been put together with spare parts. Reconstructive surgery helped him look normal again, but for a while he had to glue on his silicon ear with rubber cement.

Greg O'Neil, a Cinncinnati businessman and lifelong friend of Goss who was with him on several misadventures, thought the cancer would kill Goss.

"I was devastated. I thought this was it for Bill," said O'Neil, who grew up with Goss in the Millburn, N.J. area.

Goss, 44, has been cancer-free for five years now. "I lucked out," he said. "I learned from those dark days that behind every challenge are great opportunities."

O'Neil doesn't see Goss as being unlucky.

He was always able to pull something positive out of bad circumstances," O'Neil said. "Bill Goss is like 'Forrest Gump' meets 'Terminator II."

BRUSHES WITH DISASTER. Few people, however, would wish to be quite as "lucky" as Goss.

While attending University of Arizon in 1974, he worked weekends at a nearby copper mine. He was rigging blasting caps 5,000 feet underground to clear a chute along a 40 foot hole when he heard the sound of splitting granite. When the dust cleared, he was dangling over the chasm by his safety belt.

In 1985, Goss was in Spain as a Navy pilot of a P-3 Orion, an aircraft used for tracking soviet submarines and drug runners. He was doing test landings when a crew member inadvertently shut down one of the planes four engines.

"Suddenly the aircraft snapped to the left more violently than before," he wrote in his autobiography. "It departed the left side of the runway, twisting off the landing gear and causing the number 3 propeller to touch the ground. That instantly tore the entire 4600 shaft horsepower engine propeller assembly off the aircraft. I remember seeing it out the corner of my eye as it flew over the right wing."

Damage amounted to $3.5 million. No one was injured.

In 1991, Goss stopped his car on Interstate 295 in Jacksonville to remove a box of garbage from the roadway. As he stood in the median, he was struck by a car going about 50 mph. The police report stated he flew 45 feet through the air and he had an out-of-body experience, but he escaped without serious injury.

"It felt great to be dead, still able to think but no longer constrained to my physical being," Goss wrote. "I felt my mind and spirit advance out beyond our stars. In the big picture; I mean the really big picture, time, space, distance, structure, weight, dimension -- these things have no meaning -- only human spirit does."

His cancer forced Goss to retire from the Navy. Now he spends much of his time writing and giving inspirational and motivational talks, billing himself as a "totally unique speaker" on his website: www.luckiestman.com

Bill Goss lives on historic Fleming Island, in Orange Park, southwest of Jacksonville, Florida, with his wife Peggy and their 12-year-old twins, Brian and Christie. He said the kids were his inspiration for writing the book.

"I wanted to leave something behind -- something for my kids to remember me by just in case I didn't make it -- something to let them know who their dad was," he said.

"Bill has been knocked down, but never out, and he would always rise again. The guy I married has nine lives," Peggy said. "My problem was I didn't know what number he was on."

You'll want to read this book.

Babbers my chow dog accidently pushed me down on my cement driveway. I hit my face hard causing extreme pain making my nose and eyes to swell. Then suddenly I noticed that my bleeding cute knee hurt and my back. I then grabbed my Uri Geller crystal and forced myself up thinking magicial positive thoughts like: "It doest't Hurt" over and over. Mind Medicine taught me how to harness my own healing powers using imagination, contemplation, meditation, affirmations for my body to fight pain. Remember when meditating it will help reduce stress harmones and help your body build T-cells. Read this wonderful book and live longer.

Uri Geller's Mind Medicine is truly one of the most important purchases of my adult life. Uri is a clearly a gifted and blessed man who has an almost shocking and genuine care for humanity. I found this book to be a most positive influence on my own daily life and my interactions with othe people. One of the most profound and powerful experiences I have know is a particular pasrt of the book where Uri invites you to pray along with him for individuals who you have hurt or been hurt by. Also, I was taken back by Uri's visual guides in relations to forming positive thoughts around you, those you love and those who again, you have injured or been injured by. These excercises are real and one can literally feel the physical difference in the body. I would recommend this book by Uri to all who wish to improve thier own lives and the people they touch every day of thier lives. I think that covers virtually every one of us walking this earth.

There has been much research into the correlation between positive thinking and the effects this can have on our physical bodies. Uri Geller has been an advocate for the powers of positive thinking, and whatever you may think of his work, this particular book draws on proven conventional medical facts which Uri Geller has put into an easy-to-understand format with plenty of exercise which the reader can put into practice. I defy any reader to practice some of the exercises within this book and not feel a positive effect either mentally or physically. This certainly is a reference book which you will want to refer to time and time again.

Author and world-famous psychic and spoon-bender Uri Geller has written a visually stunning and thought-provoking book about how to heal ourselves with the power of our minds. MIND MEDICINE begins without assuming that the reader already has prior knowledge of this subject. Almost every page of this book is graced with beautiful pictures, interesting charts, and fascinating quotations that are relevant to the topic being discussed. Luscious illustrations supplement the elegant simplicity of this wonderfully informative text in such a way that the reader's mind is fully engaged while reading.

The premise of Mind Medicine is that we can and do affect our health with our lifestyles and attitudes... which we can change. Geller advocates judicious use of modern medicine in conjunction with the healing powers of our minds, yet points out that most of us do not fully harness our own healing abilities. We are healthiest when we feel loved and happy -- and this joyous, light energy attracts more good things and people to us. Geller invites us to contemplate what makes us happy, and how free we are to change.

This book is written so simply and clearly that I envision it being a text book for children or adults who wish to learn how to discover what Uri Geller calls MindPower... the higher powers that allow him to bend spoons, locate hidden things, and affect things from a distance. Geller makes his irresistible invitation to us crystal-clear in the introduction to his book, "The mind of every one of us possesses an unimaginable gift and you are about to learn how to use it. Open it now." You'll be glad you did!

After ordering three of Uri Gellers Books from Amazon , I awaited delivery with great anticipation and was I thrilled when they came. The Mind Medicine book is FAB! It is a well written and well laid out book with stunning photo's and chapters that make you really think '' I CAN heal myself!''. Written clearly without any 'Psycho-babble' it is a great thought envoker.

Delivered along with Uri's 'Little book of Mind-Power' I am looking forward to focusing my energies inwards rather than outwards and also I shall enjoy reading my third book - Jonathan Margolis' boigraphy 'Uri Geller - Magician or Mystic '.. I can't wait to see what the future will bring !
