About the book
Physician Gabor Maté draws on scientific research and decades of family practice to examine how stress and a person's emotional makeup contribute to illness. He argues that repressed emotions often bring on stress that can lead to disease, and that emotions such as anger share with the immune system the job of defending a person's boundaries. The conditions he discusses include multiple sclerosis, diabetes, cancer, arthritis, heart disease, irritable bowel syndrome, ALS and Alzheimer's disease. Case studies include Betty Ford, Lou Gehrig, Gilda Radner and Ronald Reagan. He also sets out the Seven A's of Healing, principles for recovery and for preventing illness caused by hidden stress. The book has been translated into fifteen languages.
Cellular biologist Bruce H. Lipton endorsed how it blends biomedicine with patients' insights to show how early experiences shape health.

Once thought to be in the domain of genes, our health and behavior have recently been revealed to be controlled by our perception of the environment and our beliefs. Gabor Mate, M.D., skillfully blends recent advances in biomedicine with the personal insights of his patients to provide empowering insight into how deeply developmental experiences shape our health, behavior, attitudes, and relationships. A must-read for health professionals and lay readers seeking awareness of how the mind controls health.
