I have read dozens of books on pain relief and the power of the mind for healing, and this is clearly the best to date." --Steven Gurgevich, PHD, assistant clinical professor of medicine, Arizona Center for Integrative Medicine "Pain is one of the most complex experiences in our existence and involves the physical, psychological, and spiritual dimensions of our life. Freedom from Pain approaches pain relief from all these dimensions in ways that have been clinically proven to work. Don't let pain dominate your life. Let Drs. Peter Levine and Maggie Phillips be your guides." --Larry Dossey, MD, author of Healing Words and The Power of Premonitions "Pain is unavoidable. Suffering is optional. Nice idea in principle, but how do we make it real? Peter and Maggie show you, step by step." --Shinzen Young, author of The Science of Enlightenment "With Freedom From Pain, the enigma of chronic, unrelenting pain seems much less mystifying. The gentle and reassuring approach of Drs. Levine and Phillips offers many practical possibilities for addressing pain with a sense of personal empowerment and a renewed drive toward wellness on all levels. Theirs is a multidimensional approach that holds great promise for providing the relief every person in pain hopes for." --Michael D.
