Nice title; lets you down - Rated 
I was excited about the title of this book, as it seemed refreshing among all the "let's not go there; we just change our thinking"-books that came out with the arrival of cognitive therapy. The enthusiasm evaporated, however, when I started reading and felt that the text seemed unprofessional and bright-eyed-amateur-style to me. Also, this author is very Jesus and God oriented. I don't think there is anything generally wrong with religious approaches, but this was not at all the grounded, insightful approach I had hoped for.
essential reading - Rated 
this is the kind of book that should be given firstly to all expecting mothers, teenagers (everyone!) and anyone interested in the relationship between emotions and health. If you are new to this kind of reading - it will really open your eyes! this is an essential 'text book' on life!
This book is a must for those on the healing path - Rated 
For those peolple that are waking up to themsleves, getting to know who they really are, becoming conscious this book will take you further than ever before. Anybody who is interested in how our emotions play their part in the disease process will be inspired by this book. Stress, anger etc are all around us and with tools such as this book we can get to the root of our own emotions and heal them. Perhaps then we can pass this book on or recommend it to somebody else who needs to know who they are.
A true blessing while going thur a divorce after 38 yrs. - Rated 
I found this book a true treasure. I had recommended it to many people before I even finished reading it! I have been under control of a husband since before I was 19 years old. Here I am at 57 going thru a divorce. I have had so many people tell me I was always a different person when 'he' was not present. I did not know this until three months ago. I kept all my feeling BURRIED ALIVE. I have been dealing with a slow but continuous buring fire within my soul that has kept me from being ME. Today I feel so alive. I have replaced all those negative feelings with worthwhile and positive feelings. This book has had such an impact upon my life. I am not afraid of the future or anything that comes my way. I was put on this earth for a purpose and now I have only one direction to go ...and that is forward. I know now that keeping peace by not dealing with problems is not a healthy situation. I also feel my breast cancer was stress related because of the emotion turmoil that I was constantly dealing with. Thank you Karol Truman --I love you!
Excellent resouce for processing the emotional/psycholgical - Rated 
In her book Karol Kuhn Truman does an excellent job in teaching about body-mind relationships. There are formulas and practical lists included plus a very expansive section with emotional states attached to illnesses. I have used her book for years and recommend it to all my clients. In my office I use what I have coined the S.E.E. method, or, Speed, ease and elegance,when it comes to establishing or reestablishing emotional/psychological programing. I highly recommend her work and you will find it a useful tool for years to come. Many who have attempted the same mind-body connection tend to be rather negative. She is just the opposite. She has done a wonderful job in creating this power packed, resourceful manual, I have ever seen!
