Overview

In the Eagle's Way, Peter Johnston, a GP looking back over 60 years involvement in healthcare, notes the amazing advances in medicine, but also the advent of a large array of complementary therapies. He outlines 140 of these, while acknowledging most of them will never fit into the current scientific method. Nevertheless, healthcare systems involving the mind-body-consciousness connection operate in accord with the new Scientific Paradigm, underpinned by quantum physics and Jungian psychology. By treating disease as a symptom of inner discord, mind-body-consciousness therapies explore the underlying and usually unrecognised causes of disease which lie in the realm of repressed emotions. Complementary therapies embrace illness while conventional medical treatments fight it - but both approaches are beneficial and necessary. Love, in the form of compassion, is fundamental to the art of medicine, a contributor to the science of medicine, an essential component of complementary medicine and the central core of holistic and integrative medicine.

Fittingly titled, the metaphor of the eagle navigating through the storms is juxtaposed with the human being who faces dark storms of depression and despair but learns to soar by embracing and fully understanding the darkness holistically. Johnston uses this comparison to communicate how one should approach healthcare's storms effectively. Perhaps the most intriguing is the paradigm shift on addictions and weight loss, which is often predicated on perception rather than an evaluation of how one is actually feeling, skinny or otherwise.Unlike other books on healthcare, what sets this one apart is its ability to unpack complex topics with ease. This uncanny skillset is never more evident than in Johnston's discussion of forgiveness, where he uses Donald Trump as exhibit one. Later, he dedicates an entire section to the Covid-19 pandemic and the dichotomy between approaching one's situation with love versus fear. The root of healthcare, Johnston suggests, is to learn to be happy regardless of the outcome and explore within one's spirit.RECOMMENDED by the US Review
