Condizione: Sehr gut. XIII; 322 S.; Illustr.; 22 cm; fadengeh. Orig.-Pappband m. illustr. OUmschl. Sehr gutes Ex. - Englisch. - A visceral, thought-provoking, and improbably entertaining story of how one man found himself in serious pain, how doctors failed to help, and the quest he undertook to find his own way out. Overwhelmed by a crippling condition that nobody can explain, Tim Parks follows a fruitless path through the conventional medical system only to find relief from the most unexpected source: a breathing exercise that eventually leads him to take up meditation. As everything that he once held true is called into question, Parks confronts the relationship between his mind and body, the hectic modern world that seems to demand all his focus, and his chosen life as a writer and intellectual. In trying to make sense of his journey, he considers the effects of illness on the work of other writers, the role of religion in shaping our sense of self, and the influence of sports and art on our attitudes toward health and well-being.
