Bestseller tradus în 33 de limbi, cartea ne arată cum să ne debarăsăm de «corpul-durere», o forţă distructivă pe care o exercită mintea şi ego-ul asupra corpului. Mesajul cărţii de faţă este pe cât de simplu, pe atât de revelator: dacă alegem să trăim în prezent, ne dăm şansa de a avea o viaţă fericită. Pentru a ajunge însă acolo, trebuie să ne răspundem la o întrebare: imaginea pe care o avem asupra realităţii este, într-adevăr, cea mai adecvată? Ne reprezintă cu adevărat?

Hay fever. Peanut allergies. Eczema. Billions of people worldwide have some form of allergy; millions have one severe enough to seriously endanger their health. And over the past decade, the number of people diagnosed with allergy has been steadily increasing, an ever-growing medical burden on individuals, families, and our health care system. Medical anthropologist Theresa MacPhail, herself an allergy sufferer whose father died of a bee sting, set out to understand why.

The stomach is notoriously outspoken. It growls, gurgles, and grumbles while other organs remain silent. For centuries humans have puzzled over this rowdy organ, deliberating on the extent of its influence over cognition, mental wellbeing, and emotions, and wondering how the gut became so central to our sense of self. Traveling from ancient Greece to Victorian England, eighteenth-century France to modern America, historian Elsa Richardson leads us on a tour of the gut, exploring all the ways that we have imagined, theorized, and probed the mysteries of the gastroenterological system.

"Let your illness be your spiritual teacher!" Make a statement like that to someone who's struggled for years with, say, rheumatoid arthritis, and be prepared for an eye roll (at best). To Peter Fernando's credit, he makes that statement, and no such impulse arises. We believe him because he's been there himself and because he backs up the statements with his own real experiences and with real wisdom from Buddhist teachings.
