One of my favorite books on creating wellness is Minding the Body, Mending the Mind by Joan Borysenko, who more than two decades ago, first pioneered the mind-body connection despite wide skepticism in the medical community. The book was recommended to me 10 years ago by my physician at the time and the yellow highlighted, dog-eared pages are testament to how relevant and informative it has remained all these years.
Borysenko has just come out with a new book, It’s Not the End of the World, Developing Resilience in Times of Change about practicing and mastering resilience in times of crisis (she seems to have timed the publication of this book just right!) and living life with vision and purpose. She’s also hosting a free, five-part online series on Hay House Radio, to offer “the steps you need to develop more strength and happiness.” Her sessions include interviews with “the most influential leaders in the field of mind-body wellness about resilience and overcoming stress.”
Downloads of the first two sessions are now available on demand on the Hay House Radio website where you can register for these three remaining sessions:
- How to Let Go and Move On - Oct. 14th
- Train your Brain for Success - Nov. 11th
- Living with Vision & Purpose- Dec. 9th
Borysenko is the author of more than a dozen books (see her page on Amazon)- and many are available as audiobooks. I highly recommend her as a source of guidance and inspiration.

Joan Borysenko’s book hasbeen an inspiration to me and started me off on a life long journey of self discovery. I can’t remember the book’s name, but this was in 1992 and it was about using meditation to strengthen the connection between the right and left sides of the brain. It was very helpful to me at a very difficult time in my life. Her new book sounds interesting and very apt for the time we are living in right now.
Thanks for your comment. I also recommend her Two-CD set, The Beginner’s Guide to Meditation.
Enjoying these reviews, especially the books. Thank you.
