Question 19 of 433
What does Life Force get right?
The short answer
Three things: that you must take ownership, that early detection matters, and that your state of mind affects your body.
Too many patients are passengers in their own care. Robbins tells them to take the wheel, and I agree. He also deserves credit for introducing a mass audience to real advances. Several therapies the book described as coming have since arrived or moved forward: gene silencing for cholesterol, pig kidney transplants, cancer vaccines made for one patient at a time. You will find their current status in Part 28.
His emphasis on strength, sleep, and breath is sound. And he has said he gives his proceeds from the book to charity.
