Each story leads you to a step further in realizing Touch: The Science of Hand, Heart and Mind, the Science of Hand, Heart and Mind.  It is not just touch that you realize but how it affects us along with almost anything in our life, and yes, much more than any of the four other senses in our body can do. Summary of the Book Our skin has touch circuits, and so do our nerves and our brain. Touch is merely one of the five senses in the human body. However, it is this one sense that rules over various aspects of our life right from our choice of consumer goods all the way up to our sexual feelings. This one sense has the power to control our emotions, social life, health and overall development. The author, in this work, uses his wit to lead his readers to an explanation of their identity and experiences by understanding touch. He gives us the secrets of this sense and how it can be used in improving our lives, both personally as well as professionally. He shows us how touch can reduce feelings like stress and fear and produce more positive feelings like confidence and happiness. The stories in this book are surprising where each incident takes you through a journey that will mesmerize you with facts of pleasure and pain.
