Review:
Paradox & Healing takes us beyond our usual concepts of right and wrong, good and evil, joy and suffering, pain and pleasure, love and hate and shows us that the true healing must involve a joyful reconciliation with, and a lively coexistence of the poles of opposites that make life a meaningful experience. --Deepak Chopra, M.D.
Science in this century has shown that common sense is not a reliable guide to understanding how things work. In Paradox and Healing, Drs. Greenwood and Nunn show why this same caution applies to staying well and overcoming illness. Unless we make a place for the paradoxical, we will never understand health and illness. That's why this book is an important contribution. --Larry Dossey, M.D.
...original and insightful... --Yoga Journal
