When the Body Says No: The Cost of Hidden Stress

Medical professional and best-selling author Gabor Maté demonstrates in this approachable and innovative book—filled with the poignant testimonies of real people—that psychological stress and emotion have a significant impact on the development of chronic illnesses, such as Alzheimer's disease, multiple sclerosis, breast cancer, and prostate cancer.

An outstanding addition to the corpus of knowledge about the physiological relationship between life's stressors and emotions and the bodily systems controlling the nerves, immune system, and hormones is When the corpus Says No. Gabor Maté demystifies medical science with tremendous compassion and knowledge, and as in Scattered Minds, he encourages everyone of us to be our own health champion.
