About this listen

Learn how to relieve chronic pain for good with this life-changing New York Times bestselling book.

Pain is inevitable, but suffering is optional. Musculoskeletal pain disorders have reached epidemic proportions in the United States, with most doctors failing to recognize their underlying cause, leaving patients desperate–and still in agonizing pain. Dr. Sarno reveals how many painful conditions–including most neck and back pain, migraine, repetitive stress injuries, whiplash, and tendonitises–are rooted in repressed emotions, and shows how they can be successfully treated without drugs, physical measures, or surgery.

Broken down into three sections, Dr. Sarno takes the reader through the psychology, physical manifestations, and treatment of Mindbody Disorders.

Informative and accessible, The Mindbody Prescription is a revelatory book that gives hope to long-sufferers of physical pain–that they may regain a feeling of comfort and safety in their bodies.

"My life was filled with excruciating back and shoulder pain until I applied Dr. Sarno's principles, and in a matter of weeks my back pain disappeared. I never suffered a single symptom again...I owe Dr. Sarno my life."" - Howard Stern

The original TMS doctor. A trailblazer and a genius, he was one of the first to recognise and treat mindbody disorders with great success.

All his books are valuable and this one no less. The neuroscience has moved on since this was written and some of his explanations for pain (oxygen deprivation) have been replaced with new knowledge of the neuroscience, but the principles are the same.

I wish there was more of a ‘what to do’ instruction and guide in this book, but it’s difficult to do that as everyone’s path is different.

Knowing and believing (the belief is key) that you have TMS and not a structural medical condition is the starting point, the next is to deal with fear - I fundamentally think that fear and anxiety is what prevents healing, these are often well established patterns of thinking that were formed in childhood.

This book will help you on your way to health and is an essential part of your mind-body toolkit.

Having had chronic pain for six months, I'd given up thinking I could heal it. After the first read of this book the pain had reduce by 75%. I'm now seeing a PTSD therapist to work through my issues. Well worth reading.

Superb incite into the mind connection to body

I have felt at times I don’t have any control over pain, but Sarno's recollection of anecdotes and techniques helped me to play a more active role in my healing journey. I found this audiobook extremely empowering and easy to listen to.

Health lessons every human needs to hear to heal from within!

Dr Sarno is a genius and an angel. I've fully absorbed this TMS theory and I'm now working on the homework to get rid of my various chronic pain symptoms. Very very exciting!

Listening to this audio book was brilliant and convenient as I went about my day, much easier than finding the time to sit and read. I fit the profile described that suffers from TMS and this is the beginning of a new path of help in my suffering, Thank You!...

Thank you...

I will read this book again. I hope Dr Sarno’s method will be adopted by the mainstream medicine one day.

This is a life saver.

I purchased Mindbody Prescription after listening to Healing Back Pain by Dr John Sarno. I found the subject fascinating and very plausible. As a life coach I will definitely be considering TMS when my clients complain of certain symptoms. I will look into what I can do to within the coaching session to introduce the theory of TMS as long as other issues have been ruled out.

Great insight
