Joan
Borysenko, Ph.D. has a powerfully clear personal vision- to bring
science, medicine, psychology and spirituality together in the
service of healing. Her brilliance as a scientist, clinician
and teacher have placed her on the leading edge of the mind-body
revolution, and she has become a world-renowned spokesperson for
this new approach to health, sharing her pioneering work with a
gentle graciousness, enthusiasm and humility.
Trained as both a medical scientist and a psychologist, Dr.
Borysenko has gone beyond her traditional academic training and
developed depth and breadth in a number of fields including
behavioral medicine, stress and well-being, psychoneuroimmunology,
women's health, creativity and the great spiritual traditions of
the world. She completed her doctorate in medical sciences
at the Harvard Medical School where she also completed three
post-doctoral fellowships in experimental pathology, behavioral
medicine and psychoneuroimmunology and where she was instructor in
medicine until 1988.
Also a licensed psychologist, Dr. Borysenko was co-founder and
former Director of the Mind-Body clinical programs at two Harvard
Medical School teaching hospitals, now merged as the Beth
Israel/Deaconess Medical Center in Boston. These programs
were the foundation for her 1987 classic New York Times
bestseller Minding the Body, Mending the Mind.
Dr. Borysenko is a spell-binding lecturer and workshop leader who
blends science, psychology and spirituality in a unique and
powerful way. Her presentations are full of humor and
personal anecdotes as well as the latest scientific research and
practical exercises for both personal and professional growth. Her
eleven books are a complete library of healing, combining
scholarly wisdom with the language of the heart, and bringing body
and soul together with unprecedented clarity and
sophistication.
Dr. Borysenko's work has appeared in numerous scientific journals
and has been featured in many popular magazines and
newspapers. She is well known for her ability to bridge
diverse disciplines and open up new lines of communication.
A widely-sought expert for the media, she has appeared on Oprah,
Sally Jesse Raphael, Sonya Live, Geraldo, Hour
Magazine and Good Morning America among many other
appearances both on commercial and public television. Her work has
been featured in U.S. News and World Report, the Wall
Street Journal, USA Today, Reader's Digest, Success,
Bottom Line, The Leifer Report, American Health,
Shape, Glamour, Vogue, Ladies Home Journal,
Living Fit, Success, Yoga Journal, New Age
Journal, and many other magazines and newspapers.
Dr. Borysenko is equally at home presenting in corporations,
conferences, hospitals, churches, synagogues and civic settings-
transcending boundaries and bringing a much-needed message of
peace and inspiration. |

About our
people pages:
Because many visitors have asked for more information
about particular people whose words appear on the site,
we'll try to give you as much information as we can about
individuals. The Amazon links should give you access
to works by the author, though at times they'll display
other books if the author has written an essay or
introduction for those books. |

Because
gratification of a desire leads to the temporary stilling of the
mind and the experience of the peaceful, joyful Self, it's no
wonder that we get hooked on thinking that happiness comes from
the satisfaction of desires. This is the meaning of the old
adage, "Joy is not in things, it is in us."
