In her groundbreaking book Molecules of Emotion, Candace Pert provides startling and decisive answers to these and other challenging questions that scientists and philosophers have pondered for centuries.
Her pinoeering research on how the chemicals inside our bodies form a dynamic information network, linking mind and body, is not only porvocatve, it is revolutionary. By establishing the biomoledular basis for our emotions and explaining these new scientific developments in a clear and accessible way, Pert empowers us to understand ourselves, our feelings, and the connection between our minds and our bodies-bodyminds-in ways we could never possibly have imagined before.
Molecules of Emotion is a landmark work, full of insight and wisdom and possessing that rare power to change the way we see the world and ourselves.
'Molecules of Emotion is ahighly inspiring story of the search for the biochemical links between consciousness, mind, and body that also weaves in Pert's deeply personal search for truth. Highly recommended!'-Dean Ornish, M.D., author of Eat More, Weigh Less
'Pick up the coolest, smartest, hardest-core mind-body book I've seen in a while.'-Lynn Harris, New York Daily News
