Tragically, few sufferers accepted his solution.

Can you really cure chronic pain without drugs, surgery, or therapy? Surprisingly, often the answer is yes. While chronic pain can have a physical cause, this book, written by a leading UK physiotherapist and chronic pain specialist, reveals how very real, even debilitating, pain can frequently be caused by our brain in response to repressed or avoided emotions as a result of current and even past experiences. This process is at the root of many common complaints.

This book is more like the technical background to his work
A large bulk of the book describes physiological technicalities of the human body and lists ailments and diseases that can be related to TMS but never in this book does it actually offer specific steps or self-therapy to heal your emotionally-caused physical pain.
It IS a fantastic background regarding the discovery and study of TMS, it's causes and descriptions, but I was hoping for something more therapeutic that would have led me through practical steps towards reducing my pain.
Skip this one unless you're looking for the more medically deep approach and education and just get the Healing Back Pain book next.

what are you waiting for?
If you're reading these reviews then you are still stuck in your pain. I am a 25 year chronic low back pain sufferer. I found Dr. Sarno's books one month ago and read all three. My pain went away one week later and has not been back since even during one of the most stressful two weeks of my entire life.
Healing Back Pain is the Bible for TMS. Read that one first and then his other two. Then if you feel you still need more search Steve Ozanich.
Steve's work is fantastically complementary and important. He is the leading go to guy today for TMS since the passing of Dr. Sarno. Dr. Sarno and Steve are all you need.

Life saving info! This is where you start.
I’m not sure I’d be here without this book. I’ve had a chronic illness for 18 years. I wish I had taken this concept (TMS) seriously when I first heard of Dr Sarno. I read Healing Back pain years ago. Blew it off because I thought the pain was too intense to be in my head. I picked it up again recently and I’m so glad that I did. Reading the first section of this book completely changed my world. That was two weeks ago and I think I’m pretty much almost healed. If you think you have a mind-body illness, then chances are you do have a mind body illness. I have read that 85% of chronic illness is mind-body stuff. This is the book to start. Some of it is slightly now outdated… Remember this was written a very long time ago… But the concepts are still the same. And more importantly, the first section is the section you need to get right. If you take what is written in this book seriously… It will change your world. I would also read Alan Gordon‘s ‘The Way Out’ And I would also look up Nicole Sachs on Facebook. She has a page called journal speak. I believe it’s journalling that is going get your illness out. Read more inside and you’ll know what I mean. Read this book then get his other book then read them both then read it again. You will get more information every time you read it. Good luck.

My husband told me 2 years ago about Dr. Sarno I ignored it. I have had fibromyalgia for 8 years spent thousands of dollars trying to get rid of it. Nothing helped but this $11.99 audible. It has changed my life I am literally pain free. I recommend this book to everybody especially if you have chronic pain like I did. 5 stars all the way. Penny

Desperation led me here; already paying off
It's been over 6 months since I started having pain that spread all over my body--hands, elbows, toes, ears... I went to the doctor numerous times, saw various specialists, did every test under the sun..and nothing came out to explain what I was feeling. I started thinking maybe I was imagining the pain altogether.
With that in mind and with little expectation, I decided to give this audiobook a shot.. Dr. Sarno assured me that the pain is not imaginary but that there is a way to get rid of it and he explained what steps I could take to do so. I know this is probably too early to report for sure, and ideally I'll have the discipline to update my review later on, but one day after finishing listening to this audiobook and applying some of the recommendations, I feel much better---and feel obligated to write a review.
The performance wasn't the most exciting though I doubt too many people are listening to this book purely for entertainment purposes. I'm guessing most listeners, like myself, have a very strong motivation to absorb the contents...and take the time to believe it. And you'll have a good shot of believing it once you've listened to the 7 or so hours and started giving some of the recommendations a go.

Listen to this book it will change your life!
Would you listen to The Mindbody Prescription again? Why?
Yes, I am going for my second time around listening and I will continue to listen to it until the concepts are second nature. It is healing just to listen to the concepts of this book. I noticed a change within. Dr Sarno's scientific pedigree gives enormous weight to his scientific findings. He guides the listener by the hand through biological and anatomical concepts. This book is a real gem!
What was one of the most memorable moments of The Mindbody Prescription?
That I have the power to heal myself. That emotions, though intrinsic to living, important and necessary, if they are out of balance can be very toxic.
Which scene was your favorite?
The exercises to begin healing the mind and body
What did you learn from The Mindbody Prescription that you would use in your daily life?
To become aware of the physiology of emotions and their effect on the body structures.
Any additional comments?
Dr Sarno continue to write please. We need to change the outmoded concepts of orthodox medicine

Don't do it.
This book has good reviews, and my husband suggested it . I did not find the narration as dull as others did, but the content wasn't useful at all. It was more of a list of diagnoses than anything else. No solutions at all. His premise is that those gullible enough will stop having symptoms after simply being told they have repressed rage.
I know some of my symptoms are psychogenic. I know I have rage. Show me how to eliminate either and I will sing your praises. This book is flat out self-promotion..

Very helpful content, didn't enjoy the reader
If you found this audiobook, and you're reading this review, you are probably more than a little familiar with the mind-body concept. Dr. Sarno, no doubt, has had many to tractors, and I'm sure that anyone with a deep investment in their pain, would consider the ideas put forth in this book as blasphemy. What I can say as both a listener, and a reader of the hardback version of the book, is that it's definitely worth listening to more than once. The concepts are both simple and difficult. It's a radical change in the way that we think about pain and our own minds. I personally have found this method to be helpful for me (as someone who was diagnosed with fibromyalgia, low back pain, acne in my middle-aged years, nonspecific neck and shoulder pain, as well as a host of other things).
As for my critique of the reader, I didn't enjoy that portion of this very much. There was very little change in the inflection of his voice, there were mispronunciations several times, and because the content was a little dry on its own, having a flat performance just made it that much more difficult to listen to.

A must listen for everyone
Where does The Mindbody Prescription rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
This is the most important book I've ever listened to or read.
What did you like best about this story?
The truth the author exposes about dealing with chronic pain saved me thousands of dollars and steered me toward years of peace.
Have you listened to any of Brian Holsopple’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
NA.
Any additional comments?
When a friend told me about this book, I was in the midst of over 12 years of battling back back pain. The last 8 months the pain would almost never let up. I flew to Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN. I wanted to have suregery, but they gave me an epidural shot. It was a week or so later that my friend told me about this book.
It's now a few months later and the book's ideas are helping me defeat my pain. I've returned to doing the physical activities I love. I work out again, but still haven't pushed myself to the limit, as the book tells you to take it slow. If you're suffering from chronic back pain, this book WILL help you HEAL.

Life changer!
This book along with Dr Sarno's book "healing back pain" changed my life!
I've spent years and thousands of dollars looking for a way to heal my chronic pain. Dr. Sarno explains how repressed emotions cause an autonomic response which decreases blood flow and oxygen to certain areas in the body causing pain.
I've always had the belief I could heal myself, I just hadn't found the right information and tools until now!
I recommend this book to anyone who suffers from any type of chronic pain!

Not helpful to me.
I ordered this book based on the number of positive reviews. After reading a bit and skipping through chapters to try to find where the positive stuff is, I am perplexed. The author/reader drone on about numerous physical conditions and the theory that they originate in emotional problems, mostly repressed rage. I skipped forward to the chapter that supposedly contained a treatment plan, and did not find anything I could apply to my life.
I normally find a book that has solid reviews from other readers is engaging. In this case, I am mystified.

IGNORES SCIENTIFIC FACTS
Don't waste your money. The theory presented here is that every ache and pain is caused by our psychology and if knowing that does not work for you then you are not accepting reality. I think he has everything backwards--The condition of the body affects the mind...but then I am not a doctor so what do I know.
