About this ebook
In What Causes Headaches?, author Kunal Kapoor explores this everyday affliction through the lenses of history, neuroscience, psychology, and mindfulness.
From ancient Greek trepanation rituals to modern neurology and neuroplasticity, this book takes readers on a journey through the science of pain and the wisdom of awareness. It explains how headaches emerge from a complex interplay of nerves, vessels, emotions, and habits — and how understanding that connection can lead to lasting relief.
Each chapter unpacks the biology, triggers, and treatments of headaches while weaving in practical tools for prevention and healing. Through clear explanations, relatable stories, and grounded insights, readers learn how to transform pain from an enemy into a teacher — and how to live in peace with their bodies again.
Warm, wise, and deeply human, What Causes Headaches? is more than a science book. It’s a guide to understanding yourself through the language of pain — and to rediscovering calm in a noisy world.
