Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
When it comes to understanding the connection between our mental and physical health, we should be looking at the exceptions, not the rules.
Dr Jeff Rediger, a world-leading Harvard psychiatrist, has spent the last fifteen years studying thousands of individuals from around the world, examining the stories behind extraordinary cases of recovery from terminal illness.
Observing the common denominators of people who have beaten the odds, Dr Rediger reveals the immense power of our immune system and unlocks the secrets of the mind-body connection. In Cured, he explains the vital role that nutrition plays in boosting our immunity and fighting off disease, and he also outlines how stress, trauma and identity affect our physical health.
In analysing the remarkable science of recovery, Dr Rediger reveals the power of our mind to heal our body and shows us the keys to good health.

Inspiring yet Grounded
I really enjoyed hearing the many different stories and the journey the author went on to find a unifying thread. Scientific in approach and clear, it was a very good listen

Essential reading - for the sick and the healthy
I read this book, so excuse the 5star on the performance. This book and it’s contents should be taught at school. In the last few years I have recommended it to countless people. It is essential reading if you have a human body. It’s one of the few books stand out over a life time of reading.

Groundbreaking. A document of hope.
Looking at spontaneous remission and what this can teach us. Dr R pulls together all the evidence and cones up with a blue print for self healing.

very informative and inspiring
I listened to this whole book twice. it's so full of information I couldn't take it all in first time around. His 17 years of research has resulted in some really important conclusions for anybody wanting to stay disease free, and for anybody with a disease who wants to live.

Completely inspiring
This is, without doubt, the most profoundly inspiring book about disease and the pursuit of recovery that I could ever wish to listen to. I am so grateful to Dr Jeff Rediger for his work.

Absolute must for anyone interested in health
Wow, I am a RGN in the UK frustrated working in a failing system. For years we have focused on the physical aspect of patient illness. It seems we have reached a critical point, the rates of disease and illness are through the roof and patients are struggling. I spend most of my time on the wards in acute meidicne counselling my patients and listening to their storys. We have been going about our approach all wrong. Change is coming but we are slow to follow in the UK. I am setting up privately because I am so frustrated by the system. I hope you enjoy this book as much as I do, truly amazing understanding the power of the mind body spirit connection. This holistic approach is life 💜 thankyou Dr Rediger for your time, research and dedication to your work and book. I enjoyed the audio and will also order a hardcopy also so I can refer to it in my work

Eye opening
Well thought out and digestible for the amount of information. Incredibly interesting and thought provoking. I like that there were references to real case studies included and clear tips on how you can improve your own health. Whilst there was a level of realism and skepticism in the approach, basing opinions on evidence. Definitely feel motivated to take my health into my own hands
