Book Title: Molecules of Emotion

Author: Candace B. Pert

Selection Statement:

Molecules of Emotion is landmark book that resonates with my female experience in both my personal and professional counseling/research lives. Candace Pert is a pioneering female in bodymind connections. Through her wonderfully engaging writing style, Candace demonstrates on a biological level the intimate connections between our mind, body, and emotions. This book has provided for me a scientific basis to some of my most core beliefs about how our emotions impact thinking and expectations in ways that profoundly influence how we respond to and experience the world.
