    Hardback. Condition: Fair. A rigorous, skeptical, deeply reported look at the new science behind the mind's surprising ability to heal the body. Have you ever felt a surge of adrenaline after narrowly avoiding an accident? Salivated at the sight (or thought) of a sour lemon? Felt turned on just from hearing your partner's voice? If so, then you've experienced how dramatically the workings of your mind can affect your body. Yet while we accept that stress or anxiety can damage our health, the idea of healing thoughts was long ago hijacked by New Age gurus and spiritual healers. Recently, however, serious scientists from a range of fields have been uncovering evidence that our thoughts, emotions and beliefs can ease pain, heal wounds, fend off infection and heart disease and even slow the progression of AIDS and some cancers. In Cure, award-winning science writer Jo Marchant travels the world to meet the physicians, patients and researchers on the cutting edge of this new world of medicine. We learn how meditation protects against depression and dementia, how social connections increase life expectancy and how patients who feel cared for recover from surgery faster. We meet Iraq war veterans who are using a virtual arctic world to treat their burns and children whose ADHD is kept under control with half the normal dose of medication. We watch as a transplant patient uses the smell of lavender to calm his hostile immune system and an Olympic runner shaves vital seconds off his time through mind-power alone. Drawing on the very latest research, Marchant explores the vast potential of the mind's ability to heal, lays out its limitations and explains how we can make use of the findings in our own lives. With clarity and compassion, Cure points the way towards a system of medicine that treats us not simply as bodies but as human beings.

    Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Not many people in the medical world are talking about how being afraid can make us sick--but the truth is that fear, left untreated, becomes a serious risk factor for conditions from heart disease to diabetes to cancer. Now Lissa Rankin, M.D., explains why we need to heal ourselves from the fear that puts our health at risk and robs our lives of joy--and shows us how fear can ultimately cure us by opening our eyes to all that needs healing in our lives. Drawing on peer-reviewed studies and powerful true stories, The Fear Cure presents a breakthrough understanding of fear's effects and charts a path back to wellness and wholeness on every level. We learn: - How a fearful thought translates into physiological changes that predispose us to illness - How to tell true fear (the kind that arises from a genuine threat) from false fear (which triggers stress responses that undermine health) - How to tune in to the voice of courage inside--our Inner Pilot Light - How to reshape our relationship to uncertainty so that it's no longer something to dread, but a doorway to new possibilities - What our fears can teach us about who we really are At the intersection of science and spirituality, The Fear Cure identifies the Four Fearful Assumptions that lie at the root of all fears--from the sense that we're alone in the universe to the belief that we can't handle losing what we love--and shifts them into Four Courage-Cultivating Truths that pave our way to not only physical well-being, but profound awakening. Using exercises from a wide range of mind-body practices and spiritual traditions, Dr. Rankin teaches us how to map our own courage-cultivating journey, write a personalized Prescription for Courage, and step into a more authentic life.…

    Paperback. Condition: Good. When Thomas Black went to medical school, he had altruistic visions of doing good for humanity--while providing a comfortable, stable life for his wife and children. What he didn't expect was that essentially he'd be working free of charge for the Internal Revenue Service for four months of every year with a tax rate of at least 37 percent.Year after year, he did his best to accept his fate, until he realized he didn't have to He had a choice. He could find the freedom he desired for himself and his family. Black, the author of The Passive Income Physician, began investing in real estate and researched the US Tax code to create value on his investment strategy. Now, in the self-cure tradition of his first book, this ground-breaking business author plays matchmaker so that you'll finally understand why it is essential to embrace the legal benefits of the spring ritual that you love to hate-taxation.Black's method for achieving this goal was simple: create assets and cash flow to reduce his tax footprint. This created the freedom for him to choose when, where, and how he would work in medicine.In The Tax Cure: Change the Facts of Your Financial Life to Create True Wealth & Peace of Mind, Thomas Black and his associate, Mike Pine, a CPA--whose father dedicated long hours away from his family to pursue his medical career--provide you with all you need to experience the financial freedom you deserve.In Part 1: Depreciation Nation, you'll discover ways to lower your taxes and invest to create greater cash flow.In Part 2: Borrow, Retain, Retire, Black and Pine take you further into the journey of financial stability, security, and freedom through loans, preparation for audits, and essential tax planning.So, if you're fed up with working 100-hour weeks and being drained of your precious life force just to pay taxes, then The Tax Cure is just what you need to create a new way of living your life.…

    Paperback. Condition: Very Good. A rigorous, skeptical, deeply reported look at the new science behind the mind's surprising ability to heal the body. Have you ever felt a surge of adrenaline after narrowly avoiding an accident? Salivated at the sight (or thought) of a sour lemon? Felt turned on just from hearing your partner's voice? If so, then you've experienced how dramatically the workings of your mind can affect your body. Yet while we accept that stress or anxiety can damage our health, the idea of "healing thoughts" was long ago hijacked by New Age gurus and spiritual healers. Recently, however, serious scientists from a range of fields have been uncovering evidence that our thoughts, emotions and beliefs can ease pain, heal wounds, fend off infection and heart disease and even slow the progression of AIDS and some cancers. In Cure, award-winning science writer Jo Marchant travels the world to meet the physicians, patients and researchers on the cutting edge of this new world of medicine. We learn how meditation protects against depression and dementia, how social connections increase life expectancy and how patients who feel cared for recover from surgery faster. We meet Iraq war veterans who are using a virtual arctic world to treat their burns and children whose ADHD is kept under control with half the normal dose of medication. We watch as a transplant patient uses the smell of lavender to calm his hostile immune system and an Olympic runner shaves vital seconds off his time through mind-power alone. Drawing on the very latest research, Marchant explores the vast potential of the mind's ability to heal, lays out its limitations and explains how we can make use of the findings in our own lives. With clarity and compassion, Cure points the way towards a system of medicine that treats us not simply as bodies but as human beings.
