"Dr. Dean Ornish on the healing power of love and intimacy: "I am not aware of any other factor in medicine - not diet, not smoking, not exercise, not stress, not genetics, not drugs, not surgery - that has a greater impact on our quality of life, incidence of illness, and premature death from all causes." - from the rear outer jacket. "This is the most important book ever written about love and health. This book is filled with sparkling insights and practical wisdom about protecting health and enhancing wellness." - Andrew Weil, M.D. Relationships bring freedom and joy. In Love and Survival, Dr. Dean Ornish powerfully demonstrated that intimacy also can heal. I am thrilled about this book!" - John Gray, Ph.D., author. "Love and survival. What do they have to do with each other? This book is based on a simple but powerful idea: our survival depends on the healing power of love, intimacy, and relationships. As individuals. As communities. As a country. As a culture. Perhaps even as a species. For the past twenty years, Dean Ornish, M.D., has directed clinical research, demonstrating - for the first time - that comprehensive lifestyle changes may begin to reverse even severe coronary heart disease without drugs or surgery. Now, this "impossible" idea hs become mainstream. Although most people tend to think of Dr. Ornish's program as being primarily about diet, he has found that perhaps the most powerful and meaningful intervention is love and intimacy and the emotional and spiritual transformation that often results. Yet these factors are largely ignored by the medical profession, which tends to focus primarily on the physical and mechanistic: drugs and surgery, genes and germs, microbes and molecules. Dr. Ornish is a pioneer once more as he persuasively argues that love and intimacy are a root of what makes us sick and what makes us well, what causes sadness and what brings happiness, what makes us suffer and what leads to healing. If a new drug had the same impact, virtually every doctor in the country would be recommending it for their patients. There is a deep spiritual hunger in this country as we approach the end of the twentieth century and a new millennium. According to Dr. Ornish, the real epidemic in our culture is what he calls emotional and spiritual heart disease, the profound sense of loneliness, isolation, alienation, and depression that are so prevalent today as the social structures that used to provide us with a sense of connection and community break down. We are only now beginning to appreciate what the radical shifts in our society in the past fifty years really mean. Love and Survival also chronicles Dr. Ornish's personal journey along with his experiences as a physician and a scientist. He provides a comprehensive review of research supporting the powerful role of intimacy in health and illness, reveals in very personal terms his own struggles with intimacy and meaning, and describes strategies and techniques for enhancing intimacy and communication. Love and Survival is filled with powerful stories from Dr. Ornish's clinical and personal experiences. He takes his examination a step further by talking with eminent healers, scientists, theologians, psychologists, physicians, therapists, and authors, each of whom provides a fascinating perspective on why love and intimacy are such powerful determinants of health and survival." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.
