The next book that I would like to mention is called Man the Unknown by the Nobel laureate and doctor-turned-philosopher Alexis Carrel. In it, he talks about how humans can be healed when both the body and mind are treated together. His description of the human body — how it is an intelligent, integrated system — is explained clearly and brilliantly. I think this work should be read by everyone, in particular those who aim to study the medical sciences.
