He challenges the medical community's long-accepted focus on the \"disease model\" and proposes a positive new health paradigm.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSound Mind, Sound Body examines the lives of people who are rarely ill, who manage aging successfully, or who cope extremely well with both acute and chronic illness -- and describes how they do it. Among Dr. Pelletier's fascinating findings: \u003cbr\u003e-- People who overcome serious illness or physical trauma in childhood are often actually strengthened -- not debilitated -- by the experience.\u003cbr\u003e-- People who enjoy a sense of belonging and a real connection with others generally pass through periods of intense stress and remain untouched by illness.\u003cbr\u003e-- Altruistic work is closely related to the ability to overcome life-threatening crises and disease.\u003cbr\u003e-- There is a healthy way of being ill, which can help a person manage such chronic problems as arthritis and heart disease.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn addition, Sound Mind, Sound Body offers practical, effective techniques to help anyone achieve physical, mental, and emotional equilibrium and enjoy a lifetime of optimal health.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDr. Pelletier is a Clinical Professor of Medicine, Dept of Medicine; Dept of Family and Community Medicine; and Dept of Psychiatry at the University of California School of Medicine (UCSF) in San Francisco\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 320\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.84 x 8.52 x 5.88 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 19, 1995\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52239347876114,"sku":"9780684802510","price":21.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0941\/2211\/5346\/files\/VVhpOGJMeThlWFlsQTNvc3poN0hJUT09.webp?v=1777876005","url":"https:\/\/ckbookstore.net\/products\/sound-mind-sound-body-a-new-model-for-lifelong-health-paperback","provider":"CK BOOKSTORE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
