Oh Louise Hay. Sometimes I find you so frustrating, other times I love you so much. This book gave me a mix of the two. I believe in what is said, to an extent, but I also feel wary. I live with a lovely bundle of mental illnesses, and I can manage them, but I can't 'heal' them. It's damaging to suggest otherwise.

Valuable and informative perspective to make better health choices.
I consider it a good book, detailed, with a lot of useful information, I really liked the integral perspective. Although I believe to be totally wholistic, spiritual practices should be included. The conditions that are addressed are depression, anxiety, addiction, brain and learning styles, memory, and an entire chapter explaining how emotions become physical illnesses.
In the energetic-emotional section the conditions are explained in relation to the chakras and the physiological regions involved, this is a medical reading intitutive approach to understand what the body is trying to say and what it is necessary to transform. This part is very useful for the reader, since the information can provide keys to detect or better identify some health imbalance. To complement this part, the authors provide affirmations that can help restore mind-body harmony.
After the condition is approached from a medical point of view, a part that I found very interesting, where information of what happens physiologically, hormonal regulation, neurotransmitters involved, and both emotional effects are provided, as behavioral and damages to health.
Later the authors detail possible integral treatments, taking into consideration supplements, exercises, herbs, and medicines. To illustrate this, also exemplify it with clinical cases, detailing mind symptoms, body symptoms, intuitive reading, mind-body moodiness, solutions with affirmations and treatments (in some cases cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, supplements, acupuncture).
In general, the work of the authors seems to me that it provides a valuable perspective and enough information to help make better decisions in case of experiencing any of these conditions. It is essential that we be well informed, build a broader picture and have knowledge of holistic treatments that help restore our harmony, well-being, and offer us real, permanent and sustained solutions (not palliative, it is not about surviving a condition).
My gratitude to the Publisher and NetGalley for allowing me to review the book
