Herbert Benson byl americký kardiolog a průkopník v oblasti medicíny mysli a těla. Jeho práce se zaměřila na definování a zkoumání relaxační odpovědi a jejího vlivu na snižování škodlivých účinků stresu. Bensonova badatelská činnost překlenula propast mezi medicínou a spiritualitou, Východem a Západem, myslí a tělem, vírou a vědou, a inspirovala tak novou generaci lékařů.
V této převratné nové knize, autor - lékař zkoumá průnik mezi objektivní vědou a fascinující silou lidského ducha. Ukazuje, že pozitivní víra, zejména víra ve vyšší moc, zásadním způsobem přispívá k našemu zdraví. Autor názorně poukazuje na to, jak může každý, včetně ošetřujícího lékaře nebo léčitele, čerpat z rezervoáru "pamatované pohody" k působení na 90 procent zdravotních potíží a k jejich vyléčení.
