Mind/Body Health: The Effects of Attitudes, Emotions and Relationships

This exciting new book details the latest scientific proof that attitudes and emotions do affect physical health and can play a key role in the treatment and prevention of disease. Drawing on landmark scientific studies by distinguished researchers, the authors lay a solid foundation of evidence that negative emotions such as worry, anxiety, depression, hostility, and anger can increase susceptibility to disease—and that positive emotions like optimism, humor, and a fighting spirit can protect health and increase longevity.
