Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
One of the great self-help books of all time-considered by some to be the originator of the genre-How to Live 365 days a Year has sold more than 1 million copies. In 1955, John A. Schindler, M.D., a doctor in private practice and co-founder of the respected Monroe Clinic, diagnosed a widespread condition he termed EII, or 'emotionally induced illness,' long before most physicians were aware of the connection between negative emotions and physical health. Now this 1955-56 New York Times bestseller is available in a new paperback edition, revised for modern readers with updated health and nutrition information by Marc Ellman, M.D. Dr. Schindler's landmark advice on positive attitude and lifestyle, exercise, and nutrition speaks volumes to today's self-aware readers.

How to Live 365 Days a Year is a book that can work wonders for you if you suffer from the 76 percent of the physical problems that typically send people to doctors' offices. These are real problems, but they are more often than not caused by one's state of mind.
Dr. Schindler has clearly explained the link between mental attitude and the physical manifestations of involuntary secretion into the system. And it makes perfect sense.
I would recommend this book to all; not just to hypocondriacs. This is a preventative dose of what most of us need most of the time.

I wish that I'd read this book a year ago when I very first bought it. It may have been written over 50 years ago but its contents are probably more useful yesterday then when it was very first published, especially with the frantic lifestyles we all lead today.
John Schindler shows us in his book that all of our physical ailments can be attributed to our own mental problems, the way we think etc. This is down to a lack of proper training either from our family or educational system as well as the company we keep. This leads to a mental immaturity & the way we handle our emotions. He helps us cure these by making us aware of what the problems are and how we can go about & easily fix them with a few simple tricks.
I'm not a fast reader, but I was so engrossed in this book that I managed the 210 pages in a single sitting (only one day!!)
This is going to sound like one of the stories in the book, so here goes. Over the last year or more I've had a serious problem with my back; recently I was lucky enough to have an operation to fix it. However, during this time I got so frustrated with my condition, lack of mobility, discomfort and pain that without realising it I got stressed out & developed various conditions such as neck & shoulder ache, headaches & eczema. All of which I managed to cure using Dr Schindler's techniques in a matter of a few days without the need for any medicine.
As ever it's worth its weight in gold if you'll just listen & apply his simple & effective remedies. A great investment if ever there was one.

I had read this book in the 1970s and was glad to get it again. It is so helpful in dealing with life's challenges and circumstances. It is insightful and remarkably accurate. It is wonderful reading but better when its principles are put into practice.

This is a book everyone should have a copy of. Having read the book and attempted to apply what it suggests, I can tell you it is excellent advice. The Publishing house's Weekly 'review' above could not be more wrong and only prevents people from benefiting from the timeless advice contained in this book: if anything, it is more relevant yesterday than when it was written. What works works and what is right is right - today, yesterday and tomorrow. In an increasingly stressful and emotionally-disturbed world, that's exactly what the doctor ordered. It's simple: read it and try it and see for yourself. Anyone who does that can only improve their mind, their health and their life.

The other reviewer described the book so I will write about what it did for me. I had sprained a tendon in my leg/hip (how, I have no idea; it just came on) and was in some pain. I didn't know it was a tendon, so I began to worry about it. The pain increased, I began limping, and kept worrying--magnifying it into some sort of dreadful cancer eating away at my bones. (Well, you know, sprains should heal up in a few weeks. I'd had this for a couple months! And I still have it three months later.) Anyway, I read through this book and ended up releasing all the emotional involvement in my leg. The pain was reduced about 80 percent and I no longer limped. Now I just refuse to worry about it and instead bought a bicycle so I can strengthen and provide better stability for my muscular system.
We humans are very capable of endowing our minor injuries (or even major illnesses) with such power that they incapacitate us or, at the very least, demand a lot of attention. This book will help you put such things in perspective. Attitude truly is everything for the body/mind/spirit is a trinity, each component affecting the others. If you can improve your attitude you can improve your health. And the more you concentrate on your injuries or illness, the worse they will become. I highly recommend this book for anyone in pain or anyone with a bad attitude. And I recommend it for everyone who likes to read or who breathes on a regular basis. It's a keeper to which you can refer over and over for encouragement and reminders of the important things in life!
