Summary
The bestselling and revolutionary book that serves as a “landmark in our understanding of the mind-body connection” (Deepak Chopra, MD).

Why do we feel the way we feel? How do our thoughts and emotions affect our health?

In her groundbreaking book Molecules of Emotion, Candace Pert—an extraordinary neuroscientist who played a pivotal role in the discovery of the opiate receptor—provides startling and decisive answers to these and other challenging questions that scientists and philosophers have pondered for centuries.

Pert’s pioneering research on how the chemicals inside our bodies form a dynamic information network, linking mind and body, is not only provocative, it is revolutionary. By establishing the biomolecular basis for our emotions and explaining these scientific developments in a clear and accessible way, Pert empowers us to understand ourselves, our feelings, and the connection between our minds and our bodies—or bodyminds—in ways we could never possibly have imagined before. From explaining the scientific basis of popular wisdom about phenomena such as 'gut feelings' to making comprehensible recent breakthroughs in cancer and AIDS research, Pert provides us with an intellectual adventure of the highest order.

Molecules of Emotion is a landmark work, full of insight and wisdom and possessing that rare power to change the way we see the world and ourselves.

I loved this book and I’m a 50 yr old high school dropout. I can follow the science even though I don’t know much about it . I do however know alot about being unwell and how the emotions in my life have materialized into illness . Fascinating to learn about some of the western roots of accepting and validating the long know wisdom of other cultures that are more tuned into the spiritual aspect of ourselves. Loved it :)

I really enjoyed this book. I hadn’t realized prior to downloading it that it tells the authors personal story in addition to the discussion of peptides and molecules of emotion but found it interesting and reflective of the research itself. I t would be great for a second addition to come out updating the information as it was published in 1997.
