The Healing Self

A Revolutionary New Plan to Supercharge Your Immunity and Stay Well for Life

By: Deepak Chopra M.D., Rudolph E. Tanzi Ph.D.

Narrated by: Shishir Kurup

After collaborating on two major books featured as PBS specials, Super Brain and Super Genes, Chopra and Tanzi now tackle the issue of lifelong health and heightened immunity.


We are the midst of a new revolution.

For over twenty-five years Deepak Chopra, M.D. and Rudolph E. Tanzi, Ph.D. have revolutionized medicine and how we understand our minds and our bodies—Chopra, the leading expert in the field of integrative medicine; Tanzi, the pioneering neuroscientist and discoverer of genes that cause Alzheimer's Disease. After reaching millions of people around the world through their collaborations on the hugely successful Super Brain and Super Genes books and public television programs, the New York Times bestselling authors now present a groundbreaking, landmark work on the supreme importance of our immune system in relation to our lifelong health.

In the face of environmental toxins, potential epidemics, superbugs, and the accelerated aging process, the significance of achieving optimum health has never been more crucial—and the burden to achieve it now rests on individuals making the right lifestyle choices every day.

That means you. You—not doctors, not pharmaceutical companies—are ultimately responsible for your own health.

Chopra and Tanzi want to help readers make the best decisions possible when it comes to creating a holistic and transformative health plan for life. In The Healing Self they not only push the boundaries of the intellect to bring readers the newest research and insights on the mind-body, mind-gene, and mind-immunity connections, but they offer a cutting-edge, seven-day action plan, which outlines the key tools everyone needs to develop their own effective and personalized path to self-healing.

In addition, The Healing Self closely examines how we can best manage chronic stress and inflammation, which are immerging as the primary detriments of well-being. Moreover, Chopra and Tanzi turn their attention to a host of chronic disorders such as hypertension, heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and Alzheimer’s Disease, known to take years and sometimes decades to develop before the first symptoms appear. Contemporary medical systems aren’t set to attend to prolonged low-grade chronic inflammation or the everyday infections and stresses that take their toll on the body and can lead to disease, aging, and death. Thus, learning the secrets of self-healing is not only urgent but mandatory for optimum health. The Healing Self then is a call to action, a proven, strategic program that will arm readers with the information they need to protect themselves and achieve lifelong wellness.

There is a new revolution occurring in health today. That revolution is you.

LIFE CHANGING

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes, absolutely... and I have already recommended to many! This book is empowering...backed by science. Knowledge is power, and this book brings that point home on a very personal level for all.

What did you like best about this story?

It's empowering.... to be informed of the changes one can make to positively affect every facet of their liife. Not just the "what to do", but the "why/how it works".

Have you listened to any of Shishir Kurup’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

No

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes, but due to the medical science nature of the content, it requires focus while listening.
It's a lot to absorb and if I played it when there were distractions, I found myself rewinding often to relisten. At that point, I knew it was better to stop and resume later when I wouldn't miss out on any of it!

A must read

This was a great read for me after beating colorectal cancer, with no need for surgery, despite what the doctors predicted. I started reading/listening to it during treatments, and finished a few months afterward. Loved the writing style and also liked his voice.
