Recommendation
Lampooning a book that steps beyond science and into the realm of spiritual healing would be easy. Many readers won’t have much trouble accepting the notion that your mind can heal your body, but it probably will be harder to accept Dr. Larry Dossey’s assertion that your mind can heal other bodies just as well. In fact, many readers will scoff at the idea that all minds are linked in a global consciousness that can be harnessed to accomplish tasks like curing AIDS. However, as the good doctor notes, trying to influence reality with the power of thought amounts to... well, prayer. And millions of Americans who would roll their eyes at a New-Agey term like "nonlocal mind" pray for each other every day. So if you’re put off by the book’s preachy tone or its inevitable omission of factual evidence to back up its conclusions, lighten up, or be ready to take a good hard look at some of your own cherished beliefs. getAbstract recommends this book to anyone willing to suspend his or her skepticism for just a few hours.
