We have all experienced the connection between our mind and our gut - the decision we made because it "felt right"; the butterflies in our stomach before a big meeting; the anxious stomach rumbling when we're stressed out. While the dialogue between the gut and the brain has been recognized by ancient healing traditions, including Ayurvedic and Chinese medicine, Western medicine has failed to appreciate the complexity of how the brain, gut, and, more recently, the microbiome - the microorganisms that live inside us - communicate with one another.

In this book, we will provide you with everything you need to know about Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as well as the reasons why it's being considered one of the most effective treatments for certain emotional disorders. We'll go through the basics and essentials that beginners have to understand before they start their treatments, as well as the different benefits one can gain from it. Included are the different issues it is known to effectively treat, and the philosophy behind it. Aside from this, we also provide you with introductions into the different techniques used in CBT. Many of these techniques are meant to tackle very specific issues, and that is one of the great things about CBT. It provides very focused treatments, and sets specific goals for the therapist and their client to achieve. We delve into the connection between our thoughts, feelings, and behavior - how all three affect each other and how making small changes can result in significant positive results in our lives.

Lacking Depth but good introductory info
May be I had a wrong expectation about this book. Book sprinkles good amount of information about Vagus Nerve and how is connected with various functioning of body organs and systems.
But I felt that the book lacked depth and some amount a sticking story.
If someone had read book on nutrition, diet, mindfulness, sleep - you can skip this book and follow what is said in rest of the book. Because you will only learn the vagus nerve is connected to all these things. Any dysfunction or impairment leads to poor function of vagus nerve which subsequently affects other systems of the body one by one.
Active methods to activate Vagus nerve Slow Deep Diaphragmatic Breathing, Getting great sleep, Love your space , 3. Sleep on your side for sleep, cold exposure, hum or chant mantras, gargling, yoga, mindfulness, meditation, laughter, social interaction, listening to music, smart dietary choices, intermittent fasting, exercises, resistance training, aerobic exercise, sunlight exposure,avoidance of coffee, supplementation, pro-biotics, omega-3 fatty acids, etc are some of suggestions in this book.
Passive methods to activate Vagus nerve : Auricular acupuncture, massage therapy and reflexology, Visceral manipulation, chiropractic care
So, if you read the above 2-3 paragraphs, that will be the takeaway for you.
I felt that I paid more for this audible book despite the member price

Easy to Understand for Average Person
I researched the Vagus Nerve prior to purchasing this audiobook. I was looking for a complete guide for the average person looking to optimize their health. This is the book! It is thorough but written in easy to understand language and with simple examples. Breathing through with the diaphragm and nose has been the best thing I have learnt. I am retraining my body after many unclear health issues and challenges over the last 10 years. I am going through it again to see what else I missed or need to implement. Well done!

Elton John? & Great book
When he was talking about the effects of listening to Mozart, the bit about Mozart seemed to conclude and then the words “Elton John” were spoken as it that was the title of a new section. After that, the book continued without any further information or mention of Elton John.
I loved this book and read it because I have IBS-C. My colon doesn’t move! After 5 minutes breathing for the last 4 nights, my colon has done its job 4 days in a row (inconceivable!!!) I will do more exercises but I definitely think this is a fruitful path for me. Thank you for writing this book!

Exactly what it promises to be. Not sure yet but hoping there’s a PDF download of lists - written form of the suggested exercises, or else I’ll have to go way back and take notes. But, good book.

"Put the Pieces Together for Me"
This book helped synthesize a bigger picture for me as to why things like cryo/cold-therapy, breathing exercises, music, laughter, yoga/Pilates, etc are said to be important for improving HRV and thus long term health, but I didn't understand how or why about the whole Sympathetic/Para-sympathetic nervous system works...the author does that in Ch.15.
