Book Reviews of The Balance Within: The Science Connecting Health and Emotions
Book Review: Stodgily written
Summary: 2 Stars
Personally I was very disappointed by this book. I have a biology degree and have recently developed an strong interest in the link between emotions and disease since learning Emotional Freedom Technique. I was hoping this book would be the sort of book I could pass on to some of my sceptical scientific rationalist family/friends. But even though it is on a subject that interests me enormously, it is so stodgily written that I simply couldn't finish it. I found it long-winded and felt it wasn't telling me anything I didn't know already. The historical chapter, in particular, really tried my patience - and I'm a person who is extremely interested in history. I couldn't get on with the author's writing style. Perhaps I am not the right audience for this book - it may be aimed at those who don't know anything about the connection between emotions and health and in my case was preaching to the converted - but it is certainly not one that I would recommend.
