Reviews

[Ron Wroblewski · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book is about Endorphins and Euphoria, and the benefits it brings to the body - a natural pain killer, and extender of happiness and life span. Too much and too little Endorphins are both bad for the body, the right balance is extremely good. The books shows how experiences and thoughts regulate the amount that is released. It contains several great individual stories, especially that of Galen Clark.
The problem with the book is that it is very repetitious. The same information keeps on coming up over and over. One waits for something new, but it doesn't come.
An ok read.
