Description
Michael J. Murray’s powerful memoir chronicles his difficult battle to conquer his undiagnosed pain. Murray confides his emotional torment and near collapse as numerous doctors promise relief but only deliver ineffective treatments, contradicting diagnoses, and often dispassionate care. In the end, Murray’s chance discovery in a book on back pain leads to a dawning awareness of the emotional root of his near-constant agony. As he digs deeper into this line of medicine and therapy—and his past—he uncovers the deep connection between mind and body, the healing power of outdoor pursuits and connecting with nature, and the inspiring, innovative methods that can cure physical and emotional pain.
This honest, eye-opening memoir is an excellent guide for anyone who wants to truly feel better and enjoy a heightened sense of well-being . . . beginning right now.
Advance Praise
“Embracing the concepts of mind-body medicine, learning how very real physical symptoms may have a psychological cause, can be life changing. Mike shares his journey to this knowledge with remarkable candor. It's clear that his goal is to help others, and I have no doubt that he will.”

Wanda A, Educator
I expected to read a novel about a man dealing with chronic, debilitating pain and how his determination allowed him to live in spite of his pain. What I found instead was a man dealing with debilitating pain, inexcusable advice from physicians, and insight into the mind-body connection and how western medicine has not accepted this idea. Michael Murray was one of the lucky few, who through advice from his friends learned his mind could be his body's worst enemy.
