AN OPEN FIELD PUBLICATION FROM MARIA SHRIVER Migraines, headaches, back pain, fibromyalgia, irritable bowel syndrome, chronic fatigue, and a host of other chronic illnesses have caused hardship worldwide. For the past twenty years, Dr. Howard Schubiner has conducted clinical trials and authored more than 100 scientific papers to uncover the root cause of these in challenging illnesses. In Unlearn Your Pain, he shares in inspiring and step-by-step detail the program that has proven to be effective in reversing chronic pain, fatigue, anxiety, and depression. For most people, the answers lie in the science of neuroplasticity, and this book details a revolutionary program that has saved thousands from a lifetime of misery and depression. Using the latest research and mind-body practices all confirmed by clinical trials and studies, Dr. Schubiner leads readers to a new understanding of how the mind affects pain and physical and emotional health, and how we can live healthier and better lives.

This is a must read for anyone who is suffering with chronic pain and is a great blueprint for how to correct it."
--Mitch Albom, journalist and author of Tuesdays with Morrie "This book combines Dr. Schubiner's deep clinical expertise with scientific insights that have come to light only in the last few years. The result is an adept fusion of medical knowledge, neuroscientific principles, and illuminating case studies. It offers a transformative new way to understand chronic pain for patients and clinicians alike."
