Here is some additional information about Defy Gravity: Inspired by ordinary people who overcame a wide array of physical and psychological ailments—from rheumatoid arthritis to cancer—Caroline Myss dove into the works of the great mystics to gain a deeper understanding of healing’s spiritual underpinnings. Based on these studies, she demonstrates how conventional and holistic medicines often fall short in times of need. Both systems rely upon a logical approach to curing illness when there is nothing reasonable about the emotional, psychological, or spiritual influences behind any ailment. "I adore Caroline Myss. She is a visionary teacher who can see beyond the boundaries of ordinary thought where you can heal any illness, you can channel grace, and you can live fearlessly." -Louise L. Hay
