This book is certainly a good example of the adage &quot;never judge a book by its cover&quot;. With its bright pink dust jacket and childish font I rather expected a popular science text, something accessible to the thinking masses that would provide an answer to the titular question, back that answer up with a bit of science and leave us all with a metaphorical checklist of things that one could do so as to lessen our own chances of falling ill. Maybe that preconception coloured my reading, but it was certainly not a preconception that was proven.</ins></div></td></tr>\n<tr><td class='diff-marker'>\u2212</td><td class='diff-deletedline'><div><del class=\"diffchange diffchange-inline\">* [http://www</del>.<del class=\"diffchange diffchange-inline\">mediawiki</del>.<del class=\"diffchange diffchange-inline\">org/wiki/Manual:Configuration_settings Configuration settings list]</del></div></td><td class='diff-marker'>+</td><td class='diff-addedline'><div>\u00a0</div></td></tr>\n<tr><td class='diff-marker'>\u2212</td><td class='diff-deletedline'><div><del class=\"diffchange diffchange-inline\">* [http</del>:<del class=\"diffchange diffchange-inline\">//www</del>.<del class=\"diffchange diffchange-inline\">mediawiki</del>.<del class=\"diffchange diffchange-inline\">org/wiki/Manual:FAQ MediaWiki FAQ]</del></div></td><td class='diff-marker'>+</td><td class='diff-addedline'><div><ins class=\"diffchange diffchange-inline\">I honestly struggled to identify the intended audience for this work. The casual reader is likely to be disappointed. There is no checklist for good health, medical terminology abounds (some of it translated, some not) and language is far from flowing. The reader with an academic interest is also, I suspect, likely to be disappointed. Case studies and research findings are reported almost in vacuum, the same scientific crime that the authors accuse the medical profession of. There is a very comprehensive set of endnotes for those who wish to look behind the baldly quoted statistics but I suspect that this is, again, beyond the casual reader. It appears to be a book designed to make one think, but who &quot;one&quot; is is rather up for grabs. The book feels disjointed and my perception of the target audience was constantly shifting as I moved from chapter to chapter. I was left with the distinct impression that this was a book that would have benefited from better editing to draw together two distinct writing styles, condense some repetitious arguments and pinpoint the level of the text.</ins></div></td></tr>\n<tr><td class='diff-marker'>\u2212</td><td class='diff-deletedline'><div><del class=\"diffchange diffchange-inline\">* [https://lists</del>.<del class=\"diffchange diffchange-inline\">wikimedia</del>.<del class=\"diffchange diffchange-inline\">org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-announce MediaWiki release mailing list]</del></div></td><td class='diff-marker'>+</td><td class='diff-addedline'><div>\u00a0</div></td></tr>\n<tr><td colspan=\"2\">\u00a0</td><td class='diff-marker'>+</td><td class='diff-addedline'><div><ins class=\"diffchange diffchange-inline\">Audience aside, some interesting arguments are brought to the fore. US, UK and Continental experience is brought together to argue that the medical profession should be encouraged to look behind physical symptoms and their treatment to discover whether there is, in fact, a psychosomatic element to the condition of the patient. This becomes increasingly difficult as the patient needs to be treated, and listened to, as an individual. It is also not sufficient to ask the patient whether they can attribute a link between an important life or emotionally charged event and their condition for it may be that the very absence of a link is, in fact, the link itself. The inability to communicate emotion is shown, by use of selected data, to be a driver of illness. Thus the person who just soldiers on or the person who cannot express their disappointment is more likely to suffer and for longer than the person who elects to fight or who constantly voices their emotional feelings.</ins></div></td></tr>\n<tr><td colspan=\"2\">\u00a0</td><td class='diff-marker'>+</td><td class='diff-addedline'><div>\u00a0</div></td></tr>\n<tr><td colspan=\"2\">\u00a0</td><td class='diff-marker'>+</td><td class='diff-addedline'><div><ins class=\"diffchange diffchange-inline\">The book is clearly structured with each chapter devoted to a separate question or idea and each building on what has been before. Ideas and case studies that are introduced are referred to as one continues through the book and a new dimension is added to the discussion. I did think that the book wandered too far from its premise in many of the chapters, going beyond the basic question of &quot;Why Do People Get Ill?&quot; and on to questions of medical ethics and an investigation of the efficacy of treatments offered to patients. Some of the wandering does serve to provide a context into which the arguments are put. Given that the authors argue that much can be learned from a patient by listening to them it is natural that there should be a critique of modern health provision and the inability or unwillingness of the medical profession to listen properly to patients</ins>. <ins class=\"diffchange diffchange-inline\">Add to the equation the fact that medical science is now so compartmentalised that no single care provider is responsible for the patient and, as a result, information learned about a patient by one specialist is rarely passed to another then one can see merit in the argument being formulated and its relevance to why we get ill</ins>.</div></td></tr>\n<tr><td colspan=\"2\">\u00a0</td><td class='diff-marker'>+</td><td class='diff-addedline'><div>\u00a0</div></td></tr>\n<tr><td colspan=\"2\">\u00a0</td><td class='diff-marker'>+</td><td class='diff-addedline'><div><ins class=\"diffchange diffchange-inline\">Reading this book I couldn't fail to stop and think about some of the ideas and concepts that were being voiced.
