When Your Body Says No

"When Your Body Says No" by Gabor Maté is a world-renowned standard work on the inextricable link between body and mind. Now finally translated into Dutch!

In "When the Body Says No," Gabor Maté holds up a confronting mirror to us, helping us see how hidden stress can have disastrous consequences for our health. If we don't dare say no to our stress-driven lifestyle, our bodies will eventually do it for us. We become exhausted and develop cardiovascular disease, arthritis, cancer, and MS, among other problems.

People have always intuitively understood that mind and body cannot be separated. Modern life brings with it a regrettable dissociation, a separation between what we know with our entire being and what our minds accept as truth. Of these two kinds of knowledge, the latter, more limited, usually prevails. This comes at the expense of our health.

Based on scientific research and drawing on numerous examples and stories from his own general practice and his work in palliative care and addiction care, Maté answers questions about the role the mind-body connection plays in the development of physical and mental illnesses. He provides compelling evidence for this link and, above all, demonstrates that we all possess the wisdom to heal ourselves. With "When Your Body Says No," each of us can tune into the inner wisdom we all possess.
