Have you ever stopped to think why we are beset by illness, not just in the sense of where you might have picked up that annoying winter cold but more fundamentally why you succumbed? Have you ever wondered why the nicest people seem to be struck down with the nastiest of illnesses and the apparent unfairness of it all? Have you ever said "it's all in the mind" or stopped to think whether you can think yourself better or ill? On the face of it, "Why Do People Get Ill?" seeks to answer these questions. It explores the relationship between our minds and bodies and draws on case studies, research findings and the authors' hypotheses in an attempt to answer the titular question.
