About This Book
An uncomfortable mind is an uncomfortable body. It makes sense that emotions build up and make you sick. But recognizing this mechanism doesn't solve the problem. The mind and body interact with each other throughout our lives, and it's impossible to limit their influence in the first place. Instead of avoiding or controlling them, we need to recognize and manage them, and to do that, we need to pay close attention to how they influence each other.
The author of this book had to endure extreme suffering during the Holocaust, and he admits that suppressing his emotions and enduring pain became a natural part of his personality. Self-sacrifice without an outlet is not only bad for the mind, but also for the body, and it manifests itself in diseases such as asthma, arthritis, and cancer as the body becomes impatient and attacks itself, according to the author's own observations and interviews with hundreds of patients. Facing the pain in our minds before our bodies attack us, and finding a balance of physical, psychological, and spiritual endeavors to resolve it, starts with taking a closer look at ourselves, listening to our bodies and minds.
