Book description

This book comes to us in an era dominated by biomedical advances. The author combines the skills of a GP and academic with the deep understanding of the ancient wisdom traditions to challenge this conventional dogma. This powerful book addresses the relationship between mind, body and soul. The author's ability to integrate rather than divide makes this book essential reading for everyone.
Dr Craig Hassed was trained in medicine at Melbourne University and graduated in 1984. His interest in a holistic approach led him to focus on wellbeing rather than simply treating illness. This led him to focus upon counselling, mind-body medicine and meditation. In 1988 Craig decided to make a contribution to bridging these missing links in medical education through joining the Monash University Department of Community Medicine and General Practice.
