Product Description
Why do we feel the way we feel? How do our thoughts and emotions affect our health? Are our bodies and minds distinct from each other or do they function together as parts of an interconnected system?
In her groundbreaking book Molecules of Emotion, Candace Pert provides startling and decisive answers to these and other challenging questions that scientists and philosophers have pondered for centuries.
Her revolutionary research on how the chemicals surrounded by our bodies form a dynamic in rank network, linking mind and body, is not only provocative, it is revolutionary. By establishing the biomolecular basis for our emotions and explaining these new scientific developments in a clear and accessible way, Pert empowers us to know ourselves, our feelings, and the connection between our minds and our bodies — body-minds — in ways we may possibly never possibly have imagined before.
Molecules of Emotion is a landmark work, full of insight and wisdom and possessing that rare power to exchange the way we see the world and ourselves.

Reading this book was a saddening experience. I don’t judge that right private or planetary healing will ever occur so long as our brothers of the animal kingdom are being killed and mutilated in our search for better health. I found Candace’s justifications for experimenting on animals patronizing and arrogant. Refusing to kill animals in the name of science isn’t about being squeamish, it’s about being compassionate. Monkeys brains really didn’t need to be place in a blender to learn the evident – that there are strong emotional links to disease. And women don’t need to be as cruel as their most heartless male collegues to ‘prove’ anything to them. It’s going to take some people with fantastic hearts as well as fantastic minds to make the huge steps needed for the healing of humanity.

As I read this book I may possibly not help comparing Pert to Newton. Opiate receptors may be a leap forward. But Per was seduced by new-age mumbo jumbo, just as Newton was by alchemy. How can a bio-chemical scientist, Ph.D. and all, endorse homeopathy and all the other quackery that goes with. May possibly Richard Dawkins please examine this one.

Allen Hobson’s <> is a far, far better introduction to this theme than < > is. Unfortunately, it’s out of print, since Dr. Hobson didn’t include a lot of New Age baloney in his book to make it sell better.
Pert’s book does include a few pages of helpful in rank, layered here and there among the thick slabs of self-congratulating autohagiography and the limp pieces of Chopra-inspired spiritualism. But you have to plow through a lot of junk to get to it.

A very political book, whose recurrent theme is “I plotting of it all first, and they ignored me!” Lots of self-explanatory language from a predatory researcher who also happens to be brilliant.
It’s certainly worth reading, but it’s also quite annoying to read.
