WOW! This book is amazing! - By: Julie Evans, 08 Dec 2008 
Molecules of Emotion is a book that will forever change the way you think about science. Although the first two chapters are fairly technical the rest of the book is extremely readable. Lots of information about how our minds & bodies are linked & the sceince behind it. Truly a great read for anyone interestedin emotional wellbeing.
First class subject material - By: Gary Bate, 18 Sep 2008 
Pert has done a first class job of making the scientific link between the role of consciousness, the way it's facilitated by the brain & its resultant effect upon body chemistry (neuro-peptides/hormones carrying molecules of emotion that have the potential to change our DNA).

Finally a scientist makes me understand what I didn't before - By: N. Prota, 03 Aug 2008 I have an M.Sc degreein molecular biology, & for many years my mother (a psychologist) was trying to convince me of the link between body & mind, which I didn't disbelieve, but also couldn't understand from a biological point of view.
After reading the enlightening "Biology of belief" by Bruce Lipton, I devoured this onein a week & I wish there were more books like this. Pert gains her credibility during the first 100 pagesin her description of the scientific lifein a lab:in that part she also makes me regain my drive & excitement about discovery,in a moment (my PhD) where sometimes some experiments do go wrong!
The book was for me very easy to follow & definetely inspiring. I would suggest it to anyone who cannot get convinced about complementary therapies & power of our brains by those who don't seem credible enough because of their backgroud & lexicon. And like stated before, it's an excellend autobiography of a female scientist. I loved it! Now my mom is up reading it, & next will be my boyfriend & a friend doing her PhDin neuroscience!
Fascinating - By: Peter Burbery, 18 Dec 2007 A great read. It's full of real science, but has a real human thread to it.
An excellent and thought provoking book. - By: K. Alexander, 25 Aug 2007 It's not very often that books on the body/mind connection are written by people with serious scientific credentials but this is definitely one that is.
Candace Pert describesin great detail but alsoin great clarity how she discovered the role of natural opiates & thereafter the body mind connection that gave us the new science of psycho-neuro-immunolgy.
A gripping read & a fascinating insight into what the mind really is .
