'The loving and healing words in this incredible book by John Diamond have catapulted me to a new level of life energy. Diamond is a genius among healers. He needs to be more broadly read and appreciated for the depth and breadth of his knowledge of the human healing process. His emphasis on the special power of the creative arts and his semi-autobiographical style in this book place him in the pantheon of the most profound and influential healers in contemporary medicine.' --Richard A. Lippin, M.D., Founder, International Arts-Medicine Association (IAMA) and Founder, American Physician's Poetry Association (APPA). 'Diamond provides a fascinating introduction to the world of preventative medicine. ... An important essay on wellness for our modern age of chronic dispositions. ... John Diamond is a pearl of a writer, and in the sheer comprehensiveness of one man's soul lies all our health.' --The Book Reader. 'A fascinating collection ... as a fellow physician I thank Dr. Diamond and honor him for his courage and honesty in sharing his life, wisdom and experience with us.' --Bernie Siegel, M.D., Author of Love, Medicine & Miracles, Prescriptions for Living. 'John Diamond has produced another book that goes deep to the heart of healing and is intrinsically therapeutic. The appeal of this book lies in the extent to which Dr. Diamond bares his own soul, facets of himself, in his work of healing. The link between creative expression, especially music, and the art of healing was never better symbolized. This is a book filled with spirituality, with poetic metaphor, and with a deep love of humanity.' --John Graham-Pole, M.D., Author of Illness and the Art of Creative Self-Expression.
