"I have been sharing this book with my patients for years, and the feedback has been impressive. Patients - whether participating in a formal pain management program or using the book on their own - have found it a valuable resource. This book is also a great tool for pain medicine students. It illuminates how psychological aspects transform the pain experience, and how to help patients deal with pain more effectively and independently. I'm excited to see that the third edition incorporates many new developments in the field." - Myrdalis Diaz-Ramirez, Sarasota Memorial Healthcare, Florida, USA

"An excellent tool to guide the reader through various techniques, behaviors, and 'attitude adjustments' that can positively impact quality of life. Readers are encouraged to listen to their bodies and become active participants in managing their pain. I tend to agree with the author, who states 'the solutions offered in this book are for real people living in the real world.' The book provides helpful, down-to-earth advice that is of value to those living with pain, their family, caregivers, and health care providers." - Pain Community, Vol. 10, No. 3, Summer 2010
