Summary:

If the distractions and distortions around you, the jarring colors and sounds, could shake up the healing chemistry of your mind, might your surroundings also have the power to heal you? This is the question Esther Sternberg explores in this fascinating book. This book immerses us in the discoveries that have revealed a complicated working relationship between the senses, the emotions, and the immune system, showing that these affect healing.
