"The Relaxation Revolution: Enhancing Your Personal Health Through the Science
and Genetics of Mind Body Healing,"



Pioneer of mind body medicine dr. Herbert Benson discusses his book, "The Relaxation Revolution:
Enhancing Your Personal Health Through the Science and Genetics of Mind Body Healing," presented
by Harvard Book Store.

In the 1970s, Dr. Herbert Benson of Harvard Medical School ushered in a new era of understanding
in the field of mind body medicine. Coining the term "relaxation response," Dr. Benson identified the
body's physiologic reaction that is the exact opposite of the stress (fight-or-flight) response. In the
four decades since that initial discovery, Benson and his colleagues have established the first effective
therapy to counteract the harmful effects of stress. "The Relaxation Revolution" details Dr. Benson's
recent work with colleagues in the field of genetics. More lectures at http://forum-network.org
