Helpful addition to my reading lately on the mind-body connection. The evidence mounts that our attitude has an effect on our health and that stress is really, really bad for you. The so-called placebo effect, if it really does have an effect, must be investigated with an open mind. The one thing that I think was seriously overlooked was that it needs to be confirmed that such effects are lasting and not more transitory than other treatments. I didn't see any research particularly confirming this in the book.
