The Balance Within: The Science Connecting Health and Emotions

This captivating scientific detective story, this book delves into the long-sought mind-body connection and its profound implications for our health. Humans have intuitively sensed the link between emotions and health since ancient times. However, until now, the existence and mechanisms of this connection remained elusive, lacking compelling evidence. Now, that evidence has been discovered and here it is presented and analyzed.

Dr. Esther Sternberg, whose groundbreaking discoveries played a pivotal role in unraveling this mystery, shares firsthand accounts of the breakthrough experiments that unveiled the physical mechanisms—nerves, cells, and hormones—used by the brain and immune system to communicate. Sternberg elucidates how stress heightens susceptibility to various illnesses and how the immune system influences moods.
