My Pain-Body Solution

A Journey to the Other Side of Suffering

Michael J. Murray

Michael J. Murray’s powerful memoir chronicles his difficult battle to conquer his undiagnosed pain. Murray confides his emotional torment and near collapse as numerous doctors—most of whom don’t actually take the time to truly listen to their desperate patient—promise relief but only deliver ineffective treatments, contradicting diagnoses, and often dispassionate care. In the end, Murray’s chance discovery in a book on back pain leads to a dawning awareness of the emotional root of his near-constant agony. As he digs deeper into this line of medicine and therapy that connects the mind and body, he uncovers how significant moments from his past manifest as physical and emotional pains in his present.

Murray’s recounting of his journey is honest and vulnerable, and anyone who is suffering from chronic physical or emotional pain or knows someone on this difficult path will appreciate what he learned about

  • the deep connection between mind and body
  • the inspiring, innovative methods that can cure physical and emotional pain
  • how to heal our inner selves to heal physical pain

This eye-opening memoir is an excellent guide for anyone who wants to truly feel better and enjoy a heightened sense of well-being . . . beginning right now.

Michael James Murray was born and grew up in Sudbury, Massachusetts. After graduating college in 1988, he spent the following year living as a ski bum in Aspen, Colorado.
