Distinguished author David Hamilton explores some of his favourite topics from the arena of mind-body medicine.

The science of mind-body medicine has come of age, despite being largely ignored by mainstream medicine. Simple things such as kindness and empathy have a radical effect on outcomes, so it is vital that these scientific findings are more widely known, by both practitioners and patients. Dr David Hamilton is the author of twelve books, all of which centre around mind-body medicine and explore the territory where science meets and mingles with spirituality. The discussion in this show homes in on the relationship between kindness and the willingness to embrace the emerging science.
