I received a lot more than I ever expected from this book. As I'm here recovering from a bad fall from a ladder while cleaning the roof gutters, my wife, a registered nurse, handed me this book to read. Truthfully, I started reading it to be a good patient for her. After the first chapter, I was hooked!!! Each day, I set aside time to read a chapter and focus on my healing. I already believed a lot of what Dr. Bonnett writes, but he brought me to a much deeper level. Although Dr. Bonnett is obviously very trained and intelligent, his mission is truly to educate rather than impress. He excels with his clever examples and ingenious analogies to make his points. Be prepared for how you will deal with this short excerpt from the book, "No one dies or becomes ill who does not, at some deeper level of being, choose to do so." I will never be back to my "normal" self after this accident...instead I am at a new and improved higher level of personal energy and power. This book is definitely for those who are creative in their approach to taking control of their own health and healing. That's a big part of Why Healing Happens.
