“Combines a career’s worth of expertise with a long history of pain treatment. For anyone concerned with pain treatment, or anyone who has struggled to manage pain of any kind, it’s an important read.” —GQ
“An Anatomy of Pain is as timely as it is important. What makes the book so prescient is the fact that Lalkhen understands exactly what is at stake. A life free from pain is a blessing while a life plagued by pain is a curse.” —Scientific Inquirer
“[Lalkhen] fulfills his mission [to ‘explain pain in all its forms’] well, beginning with the anatomical mechanics of pain and a history of human relationships with pain, concluding with helpful prescriptions—including mindfulness—for changing our relationship to the way we suffer.” —Mindful Magazine
“[Lalkhen] illuminates his specialty... [and] takes up pain as experienced by patients and dealt with by doctors. Readers [will find] a sensitive doctor who writes well about an ongoing epidemic.” —Kirkus Reviews
“Fascinating.... At some point in our life, we all hurt. This splendid book—informative, empathic, and wise—about a universal experience will surely promote healing.” —Booklist, starred review
“Provides appropriately detailed and understandable information while also offering suggestions practitioners should consider.” —Library Journal
“With insights both scientific and personal, Lalkhen’s study sheds light on a mysterious corner of physiology and medicine.” —Publishers Weekly
