The Brain's Way of Healing

In this accessible integration of mind-body traditions and cutting-edge Western medicine, a physician offers remarkable case studies and research that demolish the model that holds the brain to be an isolated command center with limited capacity to repair itself. In a conversational tone, narrator George Newbern performs with clarity and depth of understanding. His voice varies appropriately and holds one's attention throughout this extended production. The author earnestly discusses how subtle but powerful energy inputs like thought, touch, or light can regenerate damaged tissue, block the perception of pain, or change the course of a degenerative disorder. Newbern's moderate reading--neither too dry nor too enthusiastic--promotes listener receptivity by keeping this often fantastical-sounding information firmly grounded.
