In the best-selling companion volume to the PBS series, acclaimed television journalist Bill Moyers explores the fascinating, complex, powerful connection between mind and body in human health. Ancient medical science told us our minds and bodies are one. So did philosophers of old. Now, modern science and new research are helping us to understand these connections. 

In Healing and the Mind, Bill Moyers talks with physicians, scientists, therapists, and patients - people who are taking a new look at the meaning of sickness and health. In a series of fascinating and provocative interviews, he discusses their search for answers to perplexing questions: How do emotions translate into chemicals in our bodies? How do thoughts and feelings influence health? How can we collaborate with our bodies to encourage healing? 

With the incisive style that has made Bill Moyers's skills as an interviewer legendary, Healing and the Mind is destined to influence how America thinks about sickness and health.

Full -color and B & W photographs throughout.

The content of this book is a series of interviews with Moyers and top Professionals in the Medical field. Moyers asks very relevant questions from a skeptical position, the Medical Professional answer is informative as well as fascinating. You can see how the Medical Profession is beginning to change its line of thinking with regards to healing the complete aspect of the Patient, not just the symptoms of the illness or disease.

The human being is a complex mixture of emotions and statistics. In fact the Doctors are realizing they are also members of the human race. All this goes into the mix of a new era of caring being introduced today that benefits both the Doctor and the Patient.

Excellent reading.

I had the cassette set in the late 90s. I thought it was excellent and loaned it to someone. Well you know how that goes...couldn't remember who I loaned it to. Since I couldn't find an audio version I ordered the book. A friend saw my copy and wanted it as well so I gave it to her and ordered another for myself. It's an excellent read and I highly recommend it. In addition to a high recommendation I was very impressed by the quick service by the vendor and the used paperback was in excellent condition.

I found the cassette format difficult at best to enjoy due to the foreign language discussions throughout. I am sure that authenticity was the goal for Moyers, but I would rather have not had my time wasted on not understanding words and would have rather enjoyed the tapes entirely in English with editing done. Have you ever tried to drive and constantly push the fast forward button on the radio/cassette player? The book would have been better for me.

This might be as much an eye opener for the novice as it was for me, a qualified Tai Chi instructor. Highly recommend the read which does a great job of explaining the differences between Eastern and Western medicine and then examples of how beautiful they are when properly blended together!

Bill Moyers is thorough and communicates well for anyone to be able to explain his explorations. It is the quality that made him an impressive success for all these years. As a resident of east Texas near to his birth place in Marshall, I firmly believe that he is "the best" to ever come out of this state when it comes to intelligence and the ability to communicate knowledge.

About the Author
From the age of twelve, Master Waysun Liao studied with a wandering Taoist and in a Taoist temple in Taiwan until he became a full Taichi and Tao master. Considered one of the world's foremost authorities on traditional Taoist wisdom and Chi arts, he is the founder and master of one of the oldest Taichi centers in North America. The Taichi Tao Center, founded in 1971, remains the worldwide teaching headquarters for Master Waysun Liao and is located in Oak Park, Illinois.

Master Waysun Liao is the last of a heritage of Tao masters carrying and transmitting the ancient oral traditions concerning the nature and the power of Tao. He shares his wisdom with students across the world. Other Taichi instructors, learning centers, martial arts masters, spiritual teachers, and Taichi group leaders around the world today learned Taichi from the Taichi Tao Center, and call him "Grandmaster Waysun Liao." It means that they see the unlimited potential within this wisdom and the amazing benefits in learning Taichi through Master Liao, and want to claim a part of that powerful legacy!

The good news is that now everyone can learn from Waysun Liao as their own grandmaster!

In addition to several leading books on Taichi, Chi and Tao, he has compiled a complete Taichi learning system on streaming online video, preserving the ancient temple teachings on moving meditation, the Tao, and internal energy development.

This book is awesome. I am a christian who just starting to learn taoism. This books explains Chi and toism so well that i start to understand christianity and taoism are basically talking about the same thing. One-Chi which nurtures the cosmo, is really one and only one GOD. Christianity and Taoism really just use different language to talk about the same thing. Wow. My mind is open.

Ya, now anybody who has been mean or did anything bad in life can be explained in 2 words : CHI BLOCKAGE. With chi blockage you do not judge but just know that if you unblock his chi, a douchbag can become harmonious human being. It is a book worthwhile having in your library. Harness the qi to the point where you can see Light in the most darkest places on earth, well that is what jedies from starwars achieved :D.

There is no emotion, there is peace.
There is no ignorance, there is knowledge.
There is no passion, there is serenity.
There is no chaos, there is harmony.
There is no death, there is the Force (QI).

This is one of those books that you will want to read again, or just open up and start reading from any point. It is a very relaxing book to read and teaches you how to understand your life energy and how day to day life can drain it into non-existence. Then Waysun Liao teaches ways to feel and preserve your chi in a very simplistic way. It is a great book for setting the basics. It made me want to search out other books to further explore life energy.
