- Synopsis
- 'Extraordinary stories... A remarkable book' - Sunday Times'An enthralling read' Dr Rachel Clarke, bestselling author of Dear LifeA Royal Society Science Prize short-listed author__________We know pain when we feel it. We fear it and try to avoid it. But do we know what it really is?We're currently experiencing a Renaissance in pain science. In recent years our understanding of pain has altered so radically it's fair to say that everything we thought we knew about pain is wrong. As Dr Monty Lyman reveals, we misunderstand pain - with harmful consequences.The Painful Truth explores cutting-edge research, encompassing phantom aches to persistent pain, and including interviews with survivors of torture as well as those who have never felt pain. It not only provides hope for reducing and managing pain, but takes us to a deeper understanding of what it means to be human.This is the untold story of pain - our most elusive feeling.__________Praise for Monty Lyman and The Remarkable Life of the Skin - 'Seriously entertaining' The Times- 'Beautifully written, revealing and surprising' Daily Mail- 'Imaginatively told' The Spectator- 'An absorbing, fact-packed study' Nature- 'What a read it is' Vogue- 'Fascinating' Daily Express
