Riassunto

Can a person literally die of loneliness? Is there such a thing as a 'cancer personality'? Drawing on scientific research and the author's decades of experience as a practicing physician, this book provides answers to these and other important questions about the effect of the mind-body link on illness and health and the role that stress and one's individual emotional makeup play in an array of common diseases.
