With anecdotes and usable insights drawn from decades of clinical practice, Dr. Mark Goulston shares ideas that have helped thousands of patients overcome pain, fear, and frustration to approach life’s challenges with dignity, courage, and even humor.

Discover practical steps toward positive change that you can work into your daily routine, starting today.
