The Untroubled Mind

A very wise physician has said that “every illness has two parts—what it is, and what the patient thinks about it.” What the patient thinks about it is often more important and more troublesome than the real disease. What the patient thinks of life, what life means to him is also of great importance and may be the bar that shuts out all real health and happiness. The following pages are devoted to certain ideals of life which I would like to give to my patients, the long-time patients who have especially fallen to my lot. (Summary by Herbert J Hall - from the Preface) (1 hr 45 min)

very inspiring book it gave me hope and encouragement for Change beautifully and sensitively read

some good kernels of info but too much Christianity

(2 stars)

very reductive about philosophy and a variety of different fields. Really good intentions but generally quite self help style especially around anxiety/ depression. also too surface level for a heavy reader but if you are looking for some stoicism mixed in with Xtianity then you might really enjoy this

This is a worthy read

the reader is also good. this short book identifies and treats some of the things that trouble the mind. he pulls together science and religion. he makes a case for a holistic approach. the book is so short the listener has little to lose and much to gain.

inspirational book

Beautifully written and elegantly read. It seems often to be true that the wisdom of lives lived is lost in the cacophony of lives living. I will listen to this again.
