Book Reviews of The Second Brain: A Groundbreaking New Understanding of Nervous Disorders of the Stomach and Intestine
Book Review: Densely written and rather irrelevant
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought this book because I suffer from colitis and wanted to learn more about the mind-gut connection (i.e. how intestinal problems are related to mental problems and vice versa). This books claims to discuss this. But in fact it does not: it is a rather poor academic discussion of how scientists in the past have tended to overlook mind-gut connections, rather than discuss what those mind-gut connections might be. Moreover, the text is very densely written, and difficult to read. It doesn't really help people looking for solutions to health problems, and it doesn't really show how, or why (or by whom) medical progress in this area has been so slow. Poor all round.
