About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

When it comes to understanding the connection between our mental and physical health, we should be looking at the exceptions, not the rules.

Dr Jeff Rediger, a world-leading Harvard psychiatrist, has spent the last fifteen years studying thousands of individuals from around the world, examining the stories behind extraordinary cases of recovery from terminal illness.

Observing the common denominators of people who have beaten the odds, Dr Rediger reveals the immense power of our immune system and unlocks the secrets of the mind-body connection. In Cured, he explains the vital role that nutrition plays in boosting our immunity and fighting off disease, and he also outlines how stress, trauma and identity affect our physical health.

In analysing the remarkable science of recovery, Dr Rediger reveals the power of our mind to heal our body and shows us the keys to good health.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio on our Desktop Site.

This book tells a story of health we all should be aware of. Well done!

Really important information

20 years ago, this would’ve been science-fiction or fable or new-age hearsay… Dr Rüdiger, to eliminate doubt, decided to look into verifiable records, of people’s health; particularly what has been referred to as ‘spontaneous remission’, which would otherwise be described as miraculous. …..This data indicates that our lives are literally in our ‘hands’ and more importantly, MINDS.

Life changing data to SIT UP and TAKE IN!

Loved it but struggled to finish.
I must say I am just beginning to develop a reading habit though.
What stood out for me is how the book has helped give rationale reasons for a rationale mind to love and be loved. It has also answered a lot of questions regarding the variations of a good diet, our immune system and the/our relationship to stress particularly in this modern day.

Insightfully awesome

Thank you for your curiosity, learning and faith in pursuing this subject with such rigour and objectivity. Thank you for your courage to do that from the inside of the medical profession. The emperor most certainly doesn't have all the clothes, but it is not so easy to point that out without being dismissed or sidelined. Much gratitude.

Wow, thank you for writing this

This book is compelling from start to finish, and wonderfully narrated by the author. It offers a wake up call for all of us to think differently about our health, illness, and recovery. It offers a bold new vision for how patients can manage their health in partnership with their healthcare providers.

Journey into the hope, art and science of healing
