Why read it?
1 author picked The Body in the Mind as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

The book moved me so profoundly that I cried when I approached the last page, and gently closed the back cover. It is a precious book. It changed my world.
From Linda's list on meaningful engagement with objects and people.
