MOLECULES OF EMOTION:
Why We Feel the Way We Feel 
by Candace B. Pert, Ph.D. 
Foreword by Deepak Chopra, M.D. 
 (Scribner, 1997)

"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. Pert's striking conclusion that it is our emotions and their biological components that establish the crucial link between mind and body does not, however, serve to repudiate modern medicine's gains; rather, her findings complement existing techniques by offering a new scientific understanding of the power of our minds and our feelings to affect our health and well-being. Woven into her lucid explanations of the science underlying her work is the remarkable story of how, faced with personal and professional obstacles, she has grown as a woman and a mother, and how her personal and spiritual development has made possible her remarkable scientific career."
