The Tao of Physics by Fritjof Capra
I first encountered this book in a undergraduate course on philosophy and the sciences. As someone who was more at home with the liberal arts, this book changed my perception of the sciences and was a tremendous influence on my beliefs around health and healing.

Space, Time, and Medicine by Larry Dossey
From a pioneer in energy medicine, this book, like The Tao of Physics, questions the conventional medical paradigm and challenges us to suspend preconceived notions and open our minds to other possibilities.

Molecules of Emotion by Candace Pert
A groundbreaking book at the time, Dr. Pert provides a fascinating account of the evolution of our understanding of neurotransmitters and their role in health and wellness.

Kitchen Table Wisdom by Rachel Naomi Remen
I was a new graduate when this book was published, and Dr. Remen's simple stories of the doctor-patient connection were a source of inspiration during those early days of setting up my practice.
