—Linda Matchan, Boston Globe
“Dr. Benson is truly one of the seminal thinkers bringing the integrated study of the mind and body to western medicine.”
—Dr. Mani Bhaumik, University of California Los Angeles
“Peaceful thoughts really can influence our bodies, right down to the instructions we receive from our DNA.”

—Daniel Redwood, Health Insights Today
