Don't waste your time or money: try this book instead.

Don't waste your time or your money on this. My Stroke of Insight: A Brain Scientist's Personal Journey by Jill Bolte Taylor, Ph.D is the place to start. Dr Taylor is a brain scientist who suffered a devastating stroke, observed the effects as a trained scientific researcher, and discovered the delights of being able to access the Right Hemisphere of the brain. This is also acheived during meditation by Bhuddists or Christian Nuns for example. Choprak's ideas of himself as some kind of cutting edge scientist may sell books but there is enough new age twaddle mixed up in his writing to dispose of that fantasy.
Start with Bolte Taylor Ph.D. and go from there. You will not regret it unless you have already bought into the wisps of New Age twaddle, skilfully interwoven, that make Choprak, a best seller. He reminds me of Dr Gillian McKeith, or to give her proper title Gillian McKeith, who writes similar pap on diet. Or if you feel the need for something with a bit of honest pizazz try Osho, a Taoist. Described by the Sunday Times as one of the most influential thinkers of the last 100 years. And I agree. Good luck. Take a chance. Don't be misled. You're not convinced I tread illusions. Try "bad science" by Ben Goldacre.

For anyone who wants to help heal themselves from any kind of ailment! An amazingly positive look on the healing processes of our bodies. I would recommend this to anyone who is ailing at the moment or those in the healing profession such as myself.

As the caption here says, you need to have a good understanding of physics and the abstract to fully understand and appreciate this book. DC is an excellent writer, he 'talks' to the reader. Problem is - as with any discussion - if it's outside your realm of knowledge, you might feel a bit lost. Even with reading many paragraphs twice, sometimes three times, I struggled. On the other hand, if you are scientifically inclined, or even have a wish to know more - about practically everything, but in particular how the human body works - down to receptors on cell walls..then give it a go. The only thing which really annoyed me was the 'tease' factor here. By that I mean DC mentions three techniques to healing - meditation, bliss (a form of total awareness) and primordial tones. OK, meditation I can figure out, but how on earth does one actually practice bliss and primordial therapy? That's the one point in the book where the reader is let down. Unless of course it's intended to whet the appetite and interest further reading (ergo purchases). A worthwhile read, just be prepared to work!
