It Doesn’t Have to Hurt: Your Smart Guide to a Pain-Free Life
Sanjay Gupta explores the science of pain and the expanding range of approaches used to address it. Drawing on clinical experience and conversations with researchers, he explains how the brain, nervous system, emotions, and social circumstances shape painful experiences. The book considers familiar treatments alongside behavioral strategies and emerging therapies, with attention to the limitations of relying solely on medication. Gupta aims to help readers understand the questions to raise with clinicians and the habits that may support well-being, presenting pain management as a complex, individualized process rather than a single universal solution.
