About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

When it comes to understanding the connection between our mental and physical health, we should be looking at the exceptions, not the rules.

Dr Jeff Rediger, a world-leading Harvard psychiatrist, has spent the last fifteen years studying thousands of individuals from around the world, examining the stories behind extraordinary cases of recovery from terminal illness.

Observing the common denominators of people who have beaten the odds, Dr Rediger reveals the immense power of our immune system and unlocks the secrets of the mind-body connection. In Cured, he explains the vital role that nutrition plays in boosting our immunity and fighting off disease, and he also outlines how stress, trauma and identity affect our physical health.

In analysing the remarkable science of recovery, Dr Rediger reveals the power of our mind to heal our body and shows us the keys to good health.

What an amazing book. Hope is such a powerful thing and many are deprived of it when facing an incurable illness for fear of rocking the apple cart.

Thank you Dr Rediger for having the courage to spread this important message. What an amazingly intelligent and intuitive doctor and human you are. This is by far the best book I’ve read on health and healing in a long time.

Profound

An extraordinary and insightful
Story of an exhaustive journey into the nature of spontaneous remission. Don’t look for silver bullets - it’s a detailed narrative and one size definitely doesn’t fit all, but no matter what journey on, there’s a path for all to follow in here. Read by the author too which is a massive plus.

Worth the time to slow done and digest

This is a powerful message and backed up by facts, evidences, actual data. We actually do know that we are more than the meat body, don’t we? Just need to be reminded by the professionals like Dr Jeff Rediger. And I do appreciate and admire his courage to get this book out for the peoples of the world.

Thank you so much for getting the truth out.

Well researched, beautifully written and compassionately read. Dr Rediger deserves a Nobel Peace Prize for his work on this book. It shows bravery and integrity. I thoroughly enjoyed it and highly recommend it as a must read.
