About this title: As a graduate student in 1972, the author was part of the team that discovered the brain's opiate receptors. In this text, she provides an in-depth look at the science that led to this and other findings, such as the fact that similar receptors exist in the glands, spleen, bone marrow and other organs, which convey information in both directions ...

"Written by a molecular scientist, Pert provides evidence on how our emotions have chemical properties, and how, conversely, our physiognomy can be affected by our emotions."
"I had to read this for one of my classes. It was a fascinating read. If you are interested in why alternative medicine works, you will enjoy this book.
In this book, Pert shows how the mind and the body are not separate as they have been thought to be in science for so long. Pert uses her own life story to illustrate her scientific findings and gives recommendations for how her findings can affect the lives of her readers.
At the end of her book, Pert gives recommendations for a healthy bodymind: 1) become conscious, 2) access your psychosomatic network, 3) tap into your dreams, 4) get in touch with your body, 5) reduce stress, 6) exercise, 7) eat wisely, and 8) avoid substance abuse."
"Pert, of 'What The Bleep Do We Know' fame, discusses her scientific discoveries (including the locating and verification of the opiate receptor) in the context of her life. The life part is interesting but gets in the way sometimes of the science, leaving me with a lot of questions about her ideas that stem from both her experiences and her science. I can't argue with the suggestions for living at the end, but I wanted more depth on the actual molecules and how they interact in the body to influence (or 'create,' as she claims) emotion, rather than how the scientific community is an egotistical and difficult environment."
