{{GenericBox|Contents=
{{GenericBox|Contents=
I recently published a book on TMS called ''The Great Pain Deception: Faulty Medical Advice Is Making Us Worse''. It is a detailed look at TMS, and the reasons for rejection of TMS that took me 10 years to research and write. I was mentored along the way by the good doctor’s close friend, [[Marc Sopher, MD]].—an excellent TMS physician and great person that I’m honored to call friend. The first third of my book is about my own story/struggle and ultimate victory over suffering using Dr. Sarno’s work as my guide. The middle third is what people need to understand to heal using a wide variety of real life healing examples, and the last part of the book is about life, and childhood, and all those incremental steps that form our personalities that can lead us into the TMS-abyss. The Great Pain Deception shows the many bumpy roads into TMS, and the many roads out. It has been reviewed and endorsed by MDs, Sarno, Sopher, Northrup, Pelletier, Travis, Anderson, and Miller.}}

The book recounts in great detail how, after personal tragedy and many mishaps-with both mainstream and alternative practitioners-he finally discovered, worked heroically to apply, and finally succeeded in realizing the full potential of the unique mindfulness approach of pioneering New York physiatrist John E. Sarno, MD." '''Scott Anderson, MD'''
