Ed on Iron Heart

At the risk of turning this blog into an inventory of book reports, this books sounds similar to the book I'm reading right now, "It's not about the bike". It's one of the early books on Lance Armstrong and relates mostly to his fighting cancer, not his Tour triumphs. It's incredible how much of his body was engulfed in cancer and how important attitude and optimism is to physical healing. I agree with you Marc in saying that the physiological importance of mental state cannot be explained rationally but truly it is "mind over matter".
