Il cervello anarchico

We can take back our health.
We are used to consider the body as something separate from us: an organism whose “feeling good” is increasingly delegated to doctors and specialists of various kinds. And yet, recalls Enzo Soresi, our well-being does not need to go through medicalization: «Taking responsibility for one’s health means first of all adopting a lifestyle that increases the level of disease resistance». An invitation, therefore, to listen carefully to our body, to get closer to its needs and not to neglect its signals, whether they are psychic or physical.
As demonstrated by the latest findings of psycho-neuro-endocrine-immunology, our organism is in fact a unit, an undivided set of mind and body whose harmonious growth depends on understanding the link between cognitive, emotional and physiological events. And the brain is the place where all these factors meet: in its development our emotions play an important role; thoughts and beliefs affect our ability to feel pain; and also psychological stress, while it helps us deliver efficient performance, it can still lead to various diseases.
Through the analysis of several clinical cases, told with the passion and expertise of a doctor who has been at the forefront of scientific research for more than fifty years, Enzo Soresi builds a book rigorous yet engaging, thorough but smooth, inviting us to reflect on the complex and exceptional organic machine that each of us, as an individual, constitutes.
