Very well written book! Engaging, personable, and applicable to everyone, regardless of religious or secular belief. To oversimplify its message, I would say that the book offers additional proof that one's beliefs shape ones brain, mind, and physical health.

Believing, in particular, in some "Infinite Absolute" is particularly beneficial, whether that takes form in a particular religious or secular style.

Furthermore, the "relaxation response", which can be used to enhance one's experience of belief is not at all unlike "mindfulness meditation" or "Buddhist-style" meditation which have been shown in other books and studies to enhance one's mental and physical health.

When one is able to believe positively in one's health and ability to heal, with or without the help of an "Infinite Absolute", one is able to positively affect one's health. Conversely, negative beliefs affect the body negatively, even in some cases leading to death.

Given a choice, as we all are, which way (positively or negatively) would YOU believe, or not at all ? ( )
