Everything You Need to Know to Feel Go(o)d is Candace Pert?s response to the questions she?s been asked in her worldwide travels ever since the publication of her book Molecules of Emotion, and her appearance in the film What the Bleep Do We Know?! She discovered that, at the end of the day, all people really want to know is how to feel good. Within these pages, Dr. Pert shares the answers she?s found, both in the biomedical laboratory of mainstream science and in the laboratory of her own evolving life. Her amazing journey documents how mind, body, and spirit cannot be separated; and that we?re hard-wired for bliss, which is both physical and divine. Feeling good and feeling God, she believes, are one and the same. From beginning to end, this book takes us on an entertaining romp through the many bodymind avenues, separating the woo-woo from real science and pointing the way toward using new paradigm therapies, detoxing our food and environment, forgiving and healing our relationships, understanding depression, staying young, and creating the reality we want to experience. Consciousness, mind, emotions, and God are all factored into the mix, resulting in a lot of beneficial advice and self-development insights that will empower us toward health, well-being, and feeling . . . Go(o)d.

I liked this book

I read this book just after Molecules of Emotion and like how it picks up where MoE leaves off. I thought it was a great book though I realize not everyone agrees with the bodymind paradigm. She talks a lot about how we store emotions in our bodies, how forgiveness heals, as well as other means of healing. How to get to a feeling of "wholeness" and the experiences she had to get there. I believe our emotions largely affect the way we feel and this book reinforced that belief.
Dr. Pert mentions Dr. John Sarno as a rare exception to those who use the usual medical treatment for back pain (pills, P/T and/or surgery) and when I had debilitating back pain and saw Dr. Sarno, he helped me get to what was causing emotional pain, and my back pain went away in 2 weeks. Dr. Pert also mentions Laurel Mellin and the Solution program, which I have also done and it is great for eliminating emotional trash from your past and readjusting your expectations to be realistic.

Dr. Pert has been through a lot and it is an interesting journey. I love how she clarifies the saying "money is the root of all evil"--the Biblical verse actually says THE LOVE of money . . .
Interesting study about aspertame.

I enjoyed this book and will read it a few more times.

Only for Pert Groupies

This book ought to have been titled "Everything Candace Pert Needed to Know to Feel Good." I am impressed by Pert's body of work, have enjoyed some of her audio lectures and admired Molecules of Emotion, but if you're familiar with her other work and with glib New Age philosophy in general, there's nothing new here.

Someone who undertakes writing a book should organize the ideas she wants to present, rather than embedding them in a stream of consciousness narrative about her own adventures, insights and personal life intercut with snippets of her professional work. I am afraid that Pert's status as a scientific Rock Star has gone to her head, at least when she sets out to write. As a bodywork professional, I've been condemned to sit through a lot of workshops that were just as air-puffed and focused on the amazing insightfulness of the instructor (as presented by him or her). I hate to realize I just paid money for a similar experience.
