Managing your stress depends in part on what you do with your proverbial “aardvark.” You can ignore it, dance with it, change your perspective, or get a new aardvark. You cannot change an aardvark that doesn't want to change. You can only change the one sitting in your chair. You must look at what part of each situation brings you stress. Change what you can and leave the rest alone… the rest is not yours to change.

The book that will change the way we think about health and illness, The Divided Mind is the crowning achievement of Dr. John E. Sarno's distinguished career as a groundbreaking medical pioneer, going beyond pain to address the entire spectrum of psychosomatic (mindbody) disorders.

Thousands of people have become pain-free simply by reading Dr. Sarno's previous books. How and why this happens is a fascinating story, and is revealed in The Divided Mind . more...
