Silent World — A discussion group discussion

I’d love to recommend Headaches: Why You Have Them, What You Can Do About Them by Dr. Egilius L.H. Spierings for your book club’s upcoming reading list. Unlike many health guides, this book offers both accessibility and authority, making it a rare blend of medical expertise and practical wisdom that every reader can benefit from.

Headaches are among the most common and disruptive health issues worldwide, touching nearly every household. Yet, for many people, they remain mysterious, frustrating, and often misunderstood. Dr. Spierings, one of the world’s leading neurologists and headache specialists, has dedicated his career to studying, treating, and teaching about headache and face pain. With decades of clinical experience and academic leadership at Tufts University and Harvard Medical School, he distills complex science into clear, easy-to-understand explanations.

In this book, readers will discover:

The different types and causes of headaches, including migraines and tension headaches

How lifestyle, stress, diet, and biology influence pain

Effective strategies for prevention and relief, both medical and non-medical

The latest research and treatment options, grounded in clinical evidence

What makes Headaches such an excellent book club choice is its universal relevance. Everyone has either experienced headaches personally or knows someone who struggles with them, which guarantees meaningful engagement from members. The discussions this book sparks, about stress, health, self-care, and even the medical system, are both practical and deeply personal.

Beyond its medical value, the book empowers readers with knowledge, replacing helplessness with clarity and action. It’s the kind of book that doesn’t just inform, it improves daily life.

For your club, Headaches will offer an enlightening, highly relatable, and actionable discussion that members will thank you for including.
