Mind Over Medicine

This book has good information. Anyone living with chronic pain or facing any number of difficult diagnosis will benefit from the concepts within this book. That being said I am giving this only a 2 of 5 stars. It is simply far too repetitive. I understand that real life examples stick with the reader and bring the medical facts and statistics into my world. I just believe that the book could have included such examples and still cut to the point of each chapter a bit quicker. Several times as I listened to the audio book ( yes I admit this was an audio read for me) I paused to ensure I was not re-hearing something from a previous chapter. Although the authors narration is slow, clear and methodical which is a good thing, I did find it a bit too slow and a bit too methodical to the point of boredom. This boredom is not from the intended content but from the delivery both in the written and spoken word. All of this being said, pick up this book and skim through it. If you are facing any medical issues there is definite benefit to Dr. Rankin's take on medical care and healing.
