Molecules Of Emotion: The Science Behind Mind-Body Medicine (Scribner, New York, 1997)
Why do we feel the way we feel? How do our thoughts and emotions affect our health? Are our bodies and minds distinct from each other or do they function together as parts of an interconnected system?
Translated in 10 languages and on best-selling lists for over 15 years, this groundbreaking book provides startling and decisive answers to these and other challenging questions that scientists and philosophers have pondered for centuries.
Everything You Need to Know to Feel Go(o)d (Hay House, 2007)
Everything You Need to Know to Feel Go(o)d is Candace Pert’s response to the questions she’s been asked in her worldwide travels ever since the publication of her book Molecules of Emotion, and her appearance in the film What the Bleep Do We Know?! She discovered that, at the end of the day, all people really want to know is how to feel good. Within these pages, Dr. Pert shares the answers she’s found, both in the biomedical laboratory of mainstream science and in the laboratory of her own evolving life. Her amazing journey documents how mind, body, and spirit cannot be separated; and that we’re hard-wired for bliss, which is both physical and divine. Feeling good and feeling God, she believes, are one and the same.
The Science of Golf and Life eBook
by Candace Pert PhD and Debbie Crews PhD
Have you ever wondered why the world’s leaders in science, business, politics and education have a love (and in some cases, obsession!) for the game of golf?
The reason is that golf is more than just a game. It’s a “mind-body” activity that ties together logical reasoning, intuition and a certain “6th sense” awareness that translate into success (or failure) on the golf course – and the principles can also be applied to life!
In this book you will learn:
- how to set up your perceptions for better performance in all areas of life
- how the brain creates patterns that can either set us up for rewards or failures
- how emotions and bodily sensations are intricately intertwined
- how to powerfully increase the mechanism of imagery in the brain that will power your goals
- tips and techniques for setting goals and intentions that you can use throughout the day
…and much more!
The Science of Golf and Life eBook is a combination of the research of Candace Pert PhD, an internationally recognized pharmacologist, and Debbie Crews PhD, an LPGA Master Golf Instructor and Sport Psychology Consultant. It will change forever how you think about the game and life in general by demonstrating how golf functions as an arena through which we play out many of our life experiences, beliefs, patterns, and ways of “being.”
It is a book for golfers, golf enthusiasts and people that have never played the game. In short, it is a book for anyone looking to become a better player in the game of life, and to excel at whatever they choose to do!

Healing and the Mind Paperback – March 1, 1995, Bill Moyers (1995)

In a series of fascinating interviews with world-renowned experts and laypeople alike, Bill Moyers explores the new mind/body medicine.
Brainstorming: The Science and Politics of Opiate Research, Solomon Snyder, Harvard University Press, 1989.
In this book Solomon Snyder describes the political maneuverings and scientific sleuthing that led him and Candace Pert, then a graduate student in his lab, to a critical breakthrough in the effort to understand addiction. Their discovery–the so-called opiate receptor–is a structure on the surface of certain nerve cells that attracts opiates. Heroin or morphine molecules fit into opiate receptors much as a key fits into the ignition switch of a car–thus turning on the engine of the cell. Snyder and his students were able to show that nerve cells which possess opiate receptors are found in precisely those parts of the brain that control emotion and pain.
Anatomy of a Scientific Discovery: The race to find the body’s own morphine, Jeff Goldberg, Bantam Books, 1988
The “fascinating” story of the global scientific race to discover and unlock the power of endorphins—the body’s own morphine (The New Yorker).
In 1973, scientists John Hughes and Hans Kosterlitz were studying pig brains in an underfunded laboratory in Aberdeen, Sweden. During their research, the duo discovered a non-addictive narcotic chemical. What if they could find a similar chemical in humans? If human brains also had this chemical and they could somehow isolate it, perhaps Hughes and Kosterlitz could find a way to help the world begin to heal itself. Their work would lead them to discover endorphins, the body’s own natural morphine and the chemical that makes it possible to feel both pain and pleasure.

Molecules of the Mind: The story of the psychological discovery that changed the world, John Franklin, Dell, 1987
New York Times Notable Book of the Year
When the history of the Twentieth Century is written, relativity and the opening of the atomic age will probably take a back seat to the revolution in brain science, which forever altered our perception of who we are and why we exist. Molecules of the Mind is the Pulitzer prize-winning story of that most personal of sciences, told by a writer who was there – and who is known for his ability to articulate incredibly abstract processes in clear, lucid and page-turning fashion.
“This marvelous book offers the public its first look into the mechanism of what we were once pleased to call the soul,” said one reviewer. A religious writer took the opposite stance: “Reading this book is like looking through the gates of hell.” Today this New York Times book of the year is still as useful and relevant as the day it was published.
Apprentice to Genius: The Making of a Scientific Dynasty, Robert Kanigel, MacMillan, 1986
Exploring a chain of mentor relationships in one dynasty of prize-winning scientists, this book offers an account of the friendship, rivalries, and Nobel Prize ambition which characterize the creative collaborations of scientific breakthroughs.
