The Healing Brain presents an easy to read, amusing, entertaining – yet highly authoritative account of how our brain “minds” our body – actively guarding and defending our health and well-being. Robert Ornstein, a neurologist, and David Sobel, a physician, highlight the themes most important to understand this fascinating science. They explain that, contrary to many of our assumptions about the main purpose of our brain – that it evolved primarily for “higher-thinking” – in fact, the brain works tirelessly to adapt to the changing world around us. This essential reference book helps us understand our brain as the original “health maintenance organization”- giving us the understanding we need to help our brain do what it does best – guarding our health, and helping us to heal.
