Each interesting in its own right, and the Freud especially helps to see some of the influence of Zweig's fiction writing. Though 80 years since its original publication, this is a good introduction to the subjects, albeit a very personal and opinionated one (Mesmer: misundestood. Eddy: moneygrabbing and manipulative. Freud: tireless hero). ( ) no reviews | add a review
Franz Mesmer, Mary Baker Eddy and Sigmund Freud--three influential thinkers who travelled very different paths in their search for the crucial link between mind and body. Zweig's brilliant study explores the lives and work of these important figures, raising provocative questions regarding the efficacy and even the morality of their methods. An insight into the minds of three key thinkers who shaped the philosophy of our age, Mental Healers is a wonderfully intriguing and thought-provoking biographical work from a renowned master of the genre.
