Join CNN’s Emmy Award-winning chief medical correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta for a conversation about the mystery of chronic pain, and how to eliminate it from your life — and Gupta’s new book, It Doesn’t Have to Hurt: Your Smart Guide to a Pain-Free Life.

Are you one of the 52 million people who experience chronic pain in your day-to-day life? In It Doesn’t Have to Hurt, Sanjay Gupta makes the empowering argument that there are effective options for relief that you can start practicing today to greatly reduce your chances of suffering pain tomorrow. Offering practical, evidence-based solutions, Gupta argues that while the brain can “create” pain, it also has the capacity to reduce or eliminate it. There is more evidence than ever that the benefits of sleep, diet and nutrition, mindfulness-based pain management (MBPM) — as well as yoga, specialized psychotherapies, and even social life — can radically relieve your experience of chronic pain.

Hear Gupta unlock the mysteries of pain and the latest research about pain relief — from sleep to psychedelics — in this practical, no-nonsense conversation about taking control of your experience in a pain-smart life.
