This book was really old. I loved it. It talks about how to keep from being sick all the time by changing the way you think about life. It discusses how most people in hospital beds have brought it upon themselves by being too anxious or worried. It also talks about the basic needs of people.
I found it interesting. Just as a point. As I was reading it my neck and shoulders didn't get tense or hurt because I was practicing what was in the book. ...more

Today, we all know about the power of optimism and positive emotions and how its affects our health. But back when this book was published in the mid-twentieth century, it was a novel idea. And the author, who happens to be a doctor, has gone into the physiology and chemistry of the human body to explain the effect of emotions on our health.
Each kind of emotion produces certain hormones in our body and when a certain emotion becomes a prolonged, permanent state of our being, the accompanying hor ...more

If you want to be happy and have a fulfilling life, you have to grow up physically AND mentally. This book tells you how handle your emotions (before they handle you!) in a sensible way. Schindler teaches you that life can be wonderful if you allow it to be!
Slightly out of date, but full of practical advice. "All you need is common sense" was my Father's favorite admonition. That is what this book is based on.

This book effortlessly savages the everyday excuses that I use when rationalizing the reasons why I am not living the best life I can live today. Not yesterday, not tomorrow, but today.
I appreciated the simple bluntness and the bare bones approach of the author to illustrate that I have today to live and have the same amount of time as everyone else alive today, to get things done. I am so glad that I am beginning this year 2019 with books that help me push through from common excuses that are h ...more

An oldie, but still lots of relevant info nonetheless!
Great book. I liked the example of how the sheep were stressed. Though cruel, it's a vivid example of what stressed does and how it acts on the psyche. Amazing that this book was written far before the movement in the US started toward managing stress.

The book is largely psychological, but has some obvious and truthful points about the connection between emotions and illness. The author laid it out to be easily skimmed, with chapter summaries that, if read alone like I did, give a satisfactory perspective of the meat of the book. For points that need clarification, I just dove back into the chapter for details, but found the summaries to be sufficient to understand the meta narrative of the book. It also reviews the entire books thesis in the

Originally published in the pre-biotech era of the mid-1950s, this book has sold more than a million copies. The author introduces readers to EII or emotionally induced illness, making the connection between negative emotions and physical health long before his peers. The condition, in which an elevated stress level manifests itself in the nervous and endocrine system, results in symptoms that mimic disease.
This book is a must for anyone interested in having a better understanding of life and happiness. It explains many reasons why people get frustrated and have health problems during the course of life. It was a great legacy that my Grandfather left for all of his grandchildren and hopefully they all read such an important book!
Definitely dated material used for story examples, but the overall concept carries through today regarding your emotions and physical health. You can skip to the end of each chapter and read the summaries.
