In this groundbreaking book, Dr Gabor Maté shows how emotional stress and hidden trauma play a powerful role in the onset of chronic illness, cancer, and many other serious conditions.

• Shares dozens of enlightening case studies and personal and moving stories, including those of people such as Lou Gehrig (ALS), Betty Ford (breast cancer), Ronald Reagan (Alzheimer's), Gilda Radner (ovarian cancer) and Lance Armstrong (testicular cancer)
• Reveals 'The Seven A's of Healing': principles in healing and the prevention of illness from hidden stress

Combining medical science, psychology and compassionate storytelling, When The Body Says No will empower you to understand your body, reduce stress, and take control of your health.
