The Science Book Club discusses Cure: A Journey Into the Science of Mind over Body by Jo Marchant. Drawing on the very latest research, Marchant explores the vast potential of the mind's ability to heal, lays out its limitations and explains how we can make use of the findings in our own lives. With clarity and compassion, Cure points the way towards a system of medicine that treats us not simply as bodies, but as human beings.
