The God Complex Chris Titus 9781453717028 Books

This was another book that I really had trouble putting down. Perhaps because I'm currently struggling with some health issues, I found the information about Eastern Medicine quite intriguing. The premise for this book is that the main character has a history of medical issues, and due to their thankfully near-bottomless depth of financial reserves, is able to explore all that Western Medicine has to offer. When he finds it coming up short, for reasons related to the influence of Insurance companies and Big Pharma on diagnoses and medical treatment, he begins to explore Eastern medicine and what it has to offer. Of interest is not that he declares that one is better than the other, but rather ultimately concludes that it is a combination of both methodologies that has the best effect.

That being said, the author then takes this person's personal struggle and wraps an exciting tale around it. I can't go into too many specifics without providing spoilers, but this character becomes our proxy medical hero - the kind of informed patient we all want to be, and the kind that medical professionals probably loathe.

I had issues with some unresolved plot items at the end of the book, but otherwise found this book fascinating in its technical explanations, effortless presented to the reader in practical examples, and with a story-bound instructional plotline that helps explain the myriad complex concepts. The storytelling itself was fairly tight, and quite engaging. As I mentioned, I had a hard time putting this one down, so it made for a quick read. There are definitely some fantastic and improbably elements to the story, but hey - that's fiction.

The God Complex is a mystery/thriller with a great plot, interesting characters, and a fascinating look into traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture, its contrast with Western medicine. Inspired by true events, it really made me think about how I live and treat my own body as well as what knowledge I'm passing along in my own family! The story follows the paths of two brothers. One, Steve, has apparently committed suicide in a foreign country and it is up to his brother, Paul, to get to the truth behind his actions.

I loved the settings in this book. The story shifts between the Boston, Prague, and Greece. Very nice! I really got a feeling for each location.

I was left wanting a little more though. It seemed like the author was just ready to wrap the story up and be done when I got to the final page. But maybe I was whipping through too quickly, it gets intense! But what happened to the doctors?
I absolutely devoured this book! I found it engaging and very well written. The reason I am giving this book 5 stars is because not only was the story engaging, but it was fast paced and I could identify with one of the main characters, Steve. Like him, I was upset with Western Medicine and how I felt and sometimes do still feel dismissed. It was in Eastern medicine combined with Western medicine that I found many of my issues able to be controlled. One of the main things in the book when Steve does something to his doctors that many may find reprehensible is to get them to both realize that one needs to "marry both types of medicine together". I could not agree more.

The only thing I found about this book that bugged me was at the end when the author describes Steve and Paul's childhood adventures in a specific location. I thought this information could have been scattered throughout the book but it was not enough for me to drop a star of my rating. The ending chapter was a nice ending and a surprise ending at the best. I did not see it coming and honestly, many readers may not see it coming.

This book is staying on my to be read again if I meet my challenge goals before the end of 2012. I do recommend this book to anyone who enjoys Eastern medicine and a great story about the search for truth.
GREAT BOOK! A GREAT Thrilling Ride!!! Intelligent writing- (much respect for the author's ability to craft TRUE FACTS and weave them into an exciting FICTION/MYSTERY/DRAMA.

ANYONE interested in their 'own' personal HEALTH ---(and who isn't?), or interested in Western medicine vs. Eastern Medicine--
....alternative preventative care---acupuncturist,
... benefits of yoga and meditation (stillness), GiGong, rebalancing the elements, energy in the body, etc.
....and who enjoys reading stories based on TRUE medical FACTS and complications ---(with a fun thriller-twist)---this is the perfect book to read!

Steve Benson (a frank, fast thinking always interesting main character), spends 15 years of his life ---(and money),looking for a cure into his mysterious illness. He has debilitating pain and loss of ability to have sex ---devastating to his psyche. Trouble sleeping, chronic joint pain, etc.
His coffee & chocolate junkie food habit exacerbate more stress. Western doctors suggest pills (lots of pills) --and often tell him he is having Pyschosomatic manifestations.

Not only did Steve Benson spent 15 years searching for a cure to end his pain--he wanted the doctors who missed diagnosed him to experience the pain he went through and admit they were failing their patients. He was going to TEACH the DOCTORS a life lesson!

As the reader One cannot help but feel GOOD while Steve Benson holds two doctors hostage. (fantasy at its best).
There is tenderness in this book, too, but doled out judiciously.

This is a fiction book---but the 15 year 'search-for-a-cure' was THE AUTHORS daily life.

Its sad-its funny-its moving-inspiring-
AND....
You just might wonder about your own latent trigger points and the effects they might be having on YOUR nerves in YOUR body...

If you are like me--you might find yourself looking up carotid sheath and the vagus nerve in the body. ---And walk away with a better understanding of how metal, fire, water, wood, and earth are connected ---as in connected to the organs in your body.

And last The book has a wonderful ending!!!!
