What is *Mind Over Medicine* by Lissa Rankin about?

*Mind Over Medicine* explores the science behind the mind-body connection, arguing that trauma, stress, and negative beliefs can contribute to physical illness, while self-healing practices may foster recovery. The book presents evidence-backed strategies like the **Six Steps to Healing Yourself**, which integrates diagnosing root causes, nurturing relationships, and leveraging spiritual practices. Revised in 2020, it adds insights on trauma-informed medicine and resilience during crises like COVID-19.

Who should read *Mind Over Medicine*?

This book suits individuals with chronic illnesses seeking holistic approaches, healthcare professionals interested in integrative medicine, and anyone navigating stress or trauma. It’s particularly relevant for readers open to combining scientific research (like neuroplasticity studies) with spiritual practices such as meditation and journaling.

Is *Mind Over Medicine* worth reading?

Yes, especially the 2020 revised edition, which updates 30+ scientific studies and reframes the healing process to address modern challenges like pandemic-related stress. Lissa Rankin’s blend of clinical expertise and trauma-informed insights offers actionable tools for improving physical and emotional health.

What are the Six Steps to Healing Yourself in *Mind Over Medicine*?

The revised framework includes: * Diagnosing root causes (physical, emotional, spiritual). * Creating a personalized treatment plan. * Cultivating supportive relationships. * Surrendering attachment to outcomes. * Addressing subconscious beliefs. * Taking inspired action. Rankin emphasizes trauma resolution and nervous system regulation as critical updates to this process.

How does trauma affect health according to *Mind Over Medicine*?

Unhealed trauma dysregulates the nervous system, increasing inflammation and weakening immunity, which can trigger chronic conditions. Rankin cites cases where trauma resolution led to “radical remission,” even in severe illnesses. The book advocates therapies like Internal Family Systems (IFS) to repair these biological impacts.

What updates were made in the revised edition of *Mind Over Medicine*?

The 2020 revision adds: * New research on trauma’s role in disease. * Modified Six Steps prioritizing relational healing. * Tools for building pandemic-era resilience. * Expanded sections on systemic inequities affecting health outcomes.

What are key quotes from *Mind Over Medicine*?

Notable lines include: * **“Your body has innate self-repair mechanisms that heal cancer, fight infections, and prevent heart attacks… if you know how to activate them.”** * **“Healing is not a passive process—it requires fearless honesty.”** These underscore the book’s themes of self-empowerment and proactive wellness.

How does *Mind Over Medicine* compare to *The Body Keeps the Score*?

While both address trauma’s health impacts, Rankin’s work focuses on self-guided healing frameworks, whereas Bessel van der Kolk emphasizes clinical therapies. *Mind Over Medicine* also uniquely integrates spiritual practices like meditation with medical science.

When the Mind Becomes the Most Powerful Medicine

What if your thoughts could heal you faster than any pill? When Dr. Lissa Rankin left her conventional medical practice, she never expected to discover scientific evidence that the mind can heal-or harm-the body. Yet her journey through medical literature revealed exactly that. This New York Times bestseller has transformed how thousands approach their health, with Deepak Chopra calling it "a brilliant and courageous exploration." Oprah featured Rankin's work on Super Soul Sunday, and her TED talk on the mind-body connection has garnered millions of views. Mind Over Medicine challenges our fundamental assumptions about healing by presenting compelling evidence that our thoughts, feelings, and beliefs may be the most powerful medicine of all.

第 2 章

The Shocking Power of Belief to Heal or Harm

Can your thoughts literally make you well or sick? The medical literature contains remarkable cases that suggest they can. Consider Mr. Wright, who had advanced lymphosarcoma with orange-sized tumors throughout his body. When conventional treatments failed, he pinned his hopes on a new drug called Krebiozen. Though too sick to qualify for clinical trials, his doctor reluctantly gave him an injection. Astonishingly, Mr. Wright's tumors "melted like snowballs on a hot stove" within days, and he left the hospital cancer-free after ten days. When scientific literature later reported Krebiozen was ineffective, Mr. Wright's cancer returned. His clever doctor then injected him with plain water, claiming it was a "highly concentrated, ultra-pure" version of the drug. Again, the tumors disappeared. But when the American Medical Association announced Krebiozen was worthless, Mr. Wright lost all faith and died two days later. This pattern repeats throughout medical literature. A woman with severe nausea experienced complete relief after receiving what she believed was a potent new drug-though she'd actually been given ipecac, which normally induces nausea. Even more compelling was Dr. Bruce Moseley's study in the New England Journal of Medicine, where patients with debilitating knee pain received either his famous knee surgery or an elaborate sham procedure. Both groups experienced identical pain relief. The placebo effect-the mysterious healing response triggered solely by belief in treatment-is so powerful that clinical trials must prove treatments outperform placebos to be considered effective. Nearly half of asthma patients improve with fake inhalers, 40 percent of headache sufferers find relief from placebos, and more than half of ulcer patients experience pain resolution with sugar pills. Sham acupuncture reduces hot flashes by nearly half, and 40 percent of infertility patients conceive while taking placebo "fertility drugs." Contrary to initial hypotheses that placebo responders would have lower IQs or be more "neurotic," research shows nearly everyone can respond to placebos under the right conditions-even doctors and scientists. Some studies suggest those with higher IQs may actually be more placebo-responsive. But placebos don't just change how you feel-they create measurable biological changes. Research confirms they can cause bald men to grow hair, lower blood pressure, heal ulcers, decrease stomach acid, reduce colon inflammation, lower cholesterol, relax jaw muscles after dental procedures, increase brain dopamine in Parkinson's patients, boost white blood cell activity, and activate pain relief pathways visible on brain imaging. The physiology behind this is fascinating. Positive beliefs stimulate natural endorphins that relieve pain and improve mood. When patients responding to placebos receive naloxone (an endorphin blocker), the placebo effect disappears. Positive belief also deactivates the stress response-the fight-or-flight mechanism described by Harvard's Dr. Walter Cannon-allowing the parasympathetic nervous system to restore homeostasis. Only in this relaxed state can the body properly repair itself.

The Dark Side: How Negative Thinking Makes You Sick

If positive beliefs combined with nurturing care can heal the body, negative beliefs and harsh care from insensitive clinicians can harm it. This "nocebo effect" is the harmful counterpart to the placebo effect. A study of nearly 30,000 Chinese-Americans found they died significantly earlier-by as much as five years-when they had a combination of disease and birth year considered ill-fated by Chinese astrology and medicine. The stronger their attachment to traditional Chinese beliefs, the earlier they died. Researchers concluded they died younger not because of genetics, but because of their beliefs. Medical students provide another example-79 percent develop symptoms suggestive of the illnesses they study. This phenomenon, called "medstudentitis," demonstrates how excessive knowledge about potential illnesses can manifest physical symptoms. In clinical trials, patients warned about potential side effects often experience them even when given sugar pills. In one study, 30 percent of control group patients lost their hair when warned it might happen with chemotherapy, though they received only saline. In another, 80 percent of hospitalized patients vomited after being told sugar water would make them sick. The nocebo effect extends to asthma attacks triggered by harmless saline solutions described as allergens, drowsiness from fake antihistamines, pain from anesthetics described as painful, and headaches from non-existent electric currents. Even thoughts about death can manifest physically-surgeons note that patients convinced they will die during surgery often do, and women who believed they were prone to heart disease were four times more likely to die from it. The field of epigenetics explains how this happens by showing that our minds influence how our DNA expresses itself. Cell biologist Dr. Bruce Lipton's research demonstrates how changing your thoughts can alter how your brain communicates with your body, changing its biochemistry. Your genetic code is merely a blueprint with millions of possible interpretations, each capable of expressing itself in at least 30,000 different ways through regulatory proteins influenced by environmental signals. When beliefs are hopeful, the body enters a parasympathetic-dominant state where natural self-repair mechanisms function optimally. Negative beliefs trigger stress responses that prioritize immediate survival over cellular rejuvenation and immune function. Over time, these stress responses poison the cellular environment with stress hormones, making the body sick and impairing its ability to heal.

第 4 章

The Healing Power of the Doctor-Patient Relationship

The therapeutic relationship between doctor and patient may be medicine's most powerful healing tool. Harvard's Ted Kaptchuk explains that sugar pills do nothing on their own-what matters is "the context of healing... the rituals of healing... being in a healing relationship." Placebos simply isolate and allow study of "the act of caring" that normally operates in the background of medical treatment. Research confirms that physician attitude dramatically impacts patient outcomes. In a Harvard study, patients with cheerful, optimistic anesthesiologists needed half the pain medication and were discharged 2.6 days earlier than those with grumpy doctors. Dr. K.B. Thomas found that 64% of patients recovered when given a positive consultation versus only 39% with negative consultations. When physicians treat patients with "warmth, attention, and confidence," placebo response rates increase from 44% to 62%. Beyond the biochemical treatments we assume cure us, the ritual of medicine itself may trigger self-healing responses. As Ted Kaptchuk explains, when we strip away medications and procedures, we're left with "the ritual of medicine, the meaning we ascribe to the medical treatment, and the care of someone devoted to trying to help us get well." Nurturing care works by switching off the stress response and activating the relaxation response. When diagnosed with cancer, the mere word triggers fight-or-flight responses that hinder healing. But a kind, reassuring oncologist who offers comfort and confidence can soothe the mind, alleviate fear, and allow the body to relax. In this state, natural self-healing mechanisms can activate and function optimally. Conversely, when physicians fail to provide nurturing care, they may unwittingly harm patients. Many patients report dehumanizing experiences with doctors who never make eye contact, face computer screens instead of patients, and rush through appointments. With providers feeling overburdened and exhausted, patients often leave appointments feeling more stressed than when they arrived-activating precisely the physiological responses that hinder healing. The way doctors deliver bad news can dramatically impact a patient's healing potential. In 1974, Dr. Clifton Meador's patient Sam Londe died quickly after being told his esophageal cancer was fatal-yet an autopsy revealed minimal cancer, certainly not enough to kill him. When doctors deliver devastating news without optimism or support, they trigger stress responses that impair healing. Instead of bluntly stating poor odds and grim timelines, physicians should balance honesty with hope. Health-care professionals cannot effectively heal others when they're depleted themselves. The medical system's insane notion that good providers must sacrifice their own wellbeing has created burned-out doctors who can't be fully present for patients. The solution is for doctors to model self-care and heal themselves first, so they can serve from a place of wholeness rather than depletion.

Redefining Health Beyond Diet and Exercise

After researching placebo and nocebo effects, Dr. Rankin became convinced the body can heal itself through positive belief and nurturing care. But she suspected there was more to optimal health than these factors alone. Why do some health-conscious people who do everything "right"-organic diets, regular exercise, adequate sleep, avoiding toxins-still get sick, while others with seemingly unhealthy habits thrive? After leaving conventional medicine for an integrative practice in Marin County, she encountered the most health-conscious patients she'd ever treated. Many drank daily green juice, ate vegan diets, exercised with personal trainers, slept eight hours nightly, took numerous supplements, and diligently followed medical advice. Yet puzzlingly, others following identical regimens were sicker than ever, despite doing everything "right" according to conventional health wisdom. This realization led her to start asking deeper questions about her patients' personal lives. She revolutionized her patient intake process by adding deeply personal questions conventional doctors never asked: What's keeping you from being your most authentic self? What's missing from your life? Are you happy in your relationships? Are you fulfilled at work? Are you sexually satisfied? Do you express yourself creatively? These questions often provided more insight into illness than any lab test. She discovered many health-conscious patients were sick because they were profoundly lonely, trapped in bad relationships, stressed about work, financially insecure, or deeply depressed. Conversely, some patients who ate poorly and rarely exercised enjoyed perfect health because their lives were filled with love, meaningful work, creative expression, and joy. Marla exemplified this paradox. Despite her vegetarian diet, yoga practice, triathlon competitions, and numerous supplements, she had a medical chart two feet thick with four chronic conditions. Dr. Rankin's intake form revealed she was trapped in an abusive marriage, hadn't had sex in two years, felt creatively stifled, and was exhausted from caring for her aging mother. When asked what her body needed to heal, she immediately said, "I need to move to Santa Fe," explaining that her symptoms mysteriously disappeared whenever she visited her vacation home there. A year later, Marla called to report she'd moved to Santa Fe, sold her company, helped her mother into a nearby retirement community, divorced her husband, enrolled in art school, found new love, and made artist friends. Most importantly, all her symptoms had vanished within three months of the move. This pattern repeated in dozens of patients, revealing how the medical establishment's focus on biochemistry while excluding mental health does patients a disservice. Research confirmed that lifestyle choices-from relationships to creative expression to spiritual connection-create physiological changes in the body. People with loving partners, close friendships, and meaningful work experience positivity that optimizes the relaxation response and counteracts stress.

第 6 章

The Profound Impact of Community on Physical Health

When assessing your health, you likely consider diet, exercise, vitamins, habits, genes, and medical advice-but do you think about your community support? You should, because loneliness can be more harmful than smoking, while supportive communities can extend your life expectancy. In 1961, the Italian immigrant community of Roseto, Pennsylvania presented a medical mystery. Despite working long shifts in quarries and factories, eating fatty foods (41% of calories from lard and meats), smoking, being sedentary, and many being obese, they had heart attack rates half the national average and death rates 30-35% lower than surrounding communities. As younger generations attended college and embraced American individualism, the community began to change. Italian-Americans married non-Italians, moved to suburban houses with fences and pools, and abandoned communal traditions. Neighbors who once dropped in casually now scheduled visits. Evening gatherings with singing and children playing gave way to television watching. The health benefits disappeared with these cultural changes. By 1971, Roseto experienced its first heart attack death in someone under 45. Over the next decade, heart disease rates doubled, high blood pressure tripled, and stroke incidence increased. By the late 1970s, Roseto's fatal heart attack rate matched the national average. The Alameda County study found people with the fewest social ties were three times more likely to die over a nine-year period than those with the most connections, even accounting for preexisting conditions, socioeconomic status, and health behaviors. Those with more social connections even showed lower cancer rates. A Harvard study of nearly 3,000 seniors revealed that those who regularly gathered for dinners, card games, movies, or church outlived their reclusive peers by two and a half years. Remarkably, these mostly sedentary social activities benefited health as much as fitness-related ones. Social support even affects disease outcomes. A UCSF study found nurses with breast cancer who were socially isolated had 66% higher mortality risk and twice the breast cancer mortality risk. Those facing cancer alone were four times more likely to die than those with ten or more supportive friends-and notably, having friendships proved more protective than having a spouse. Religious attendance correlates strongly with better health outcomes. Religious people live significantly longer-seven and a half years more on average, and nearly fourteen years longer for African-Americans-than those who rarely or never attend services. They also show lower blood pressure, reduced cardiovascular disease risk, lower depression and suicide rates, less substance abuse, and stronger immune systems. Romantic partnerships offer significant health benefits too. UCLA research found never-married individuals are 58% more likely to die young compared to those who marry. Happily married people have lower blood pressure and less insomnia. However, quality matters more than relationship status. An unhappy marriage can harm health-you're actually better off single than in a bad relationship. Chronic social isolation triggers the same physiological stress responses as physical danger. Studies show 10-30% of people suffer from pervasive loneliness, with 37% of lonely people describing their health as poor. Psychologist John Cacioppo found lonely people are physiologically different from those with strong social networks-showing altered cortisol-signaling genes, inflammatory responses, and immune function. As Robert Putnam noted in "Bowling Alone," joining just one group cuts your risk of dying over the next year in half-statistically comparable to quitting smoking.

How Work and Creativity Affect Your Physical Health

Work doesn't just affect health through physical hazards but through the power of the mind, which either triggers stress responses or initiates relaxation responses. Americans are working themselves to death with 24/7 accessibility through technology and a reluctance to use vacation time. Studies show alarming health impacts: men who skip annual vacations have a 21% higher risk of death from all causes and 32% higher risk of heart attack, while women who rarely vacation are eight times more likely to develop heart disease than those who vacation twice yearly. Job stressors vary widely but affect the body similarly. These include interpersonal conflicts, high-stakes careers where mistakes have severe consequences, ethical compromises, feeling powerless, organizational constraints, role confusion, and conflicting messages. Regardless of the specific stressor, the lizard brain perceives threat and triggers the same physiological stress response-potentially taking years off your life. Before serious conditions like heart attacks, strokes, or cancer develop, the body sends warning signals through milder symptoms. These early warning signs include backaches, headaches, eye strain, insomnia, fatigue, dizziness, appetite disturbances, and gastrointestinal distress. While these symptoms might seem minor, they're early warning signs of the body's stress response. The average American experiences 50 brief stress-response episodes daily, requiring energy to maintain homeostasis. Over time, this leads to serious health consequences: blood vessel damage, heart disease from plaque buildup, musculoskeletal disorders from chronic inflammation, and immune suppression from cortisol overproduction. Studies show it's actually better to be unemployed than working in a badly paid, demanding job with little control. The stress from social inequality itself may be the killer, as people of lower socioeconomic status often feel less control over their lives, activating chronic stress responses regardless of whether financial stress is real or perceived. Work environments that avoid shaming employees, encourage creativity, allow flexibility, and foster positive relationships lead to better employee health. Finding professional fulfillment can be medicine for the mind and body. Happiness researcher Sonja Lyubomirsky notes that people with significant personal and professional aspirations are happier than those without strong dreams. Creative expression can elicit relaxation responses that counterbalance stress. Despite society often valuing science, math, and business over artistic pursuits, being creative is beneficial for health. This isn't limited to traditional arts-creativity can be expressed through cooking, gardening, interior decorating, blogging, or even writing the perfect email. Creative expression releases endorphins and other feel-good neurotransmitters, reduces depression and anxiety, improves immune function, relieves physical pain, and activates the parasympathetic nervous system-lowering heart rate, decreasing blood pressure, slowing breathing, and reducing cortisol levels.

The Science of Happiness as Preventive Medicine

While modern medicine often relegates emotional and mental health to psychiatrists' offices, scientific data strongly links happiness to physical health. People with higher levels of "subjective well-being" live up to ten years longer than those without. Positive psychological states like joy, happiness, life satisfaction, and optimism result in lower mortality rates across both healthy and diseased populations. The landmark Grant Study followed exceptional Harvard sophomores from the early 1940s throughout their lives, tracking their health, happiness, relationships, and achievements. Depression strongly correlated with physical health-over 70% of those diagnosed with depression by age 50 were chronically ill or dead by 63. Those reporting high life satisfaction had only one-tenth the rate of severe illness or death compared to their unhappy counterparts. Martin Seligman's research on explanatory styles reveals that pessimists view bad events as permanent ("It'll always be this bad"), pervasive ("This will ruin everything"), and personal ("It's all my fault"), while viewing good events as temporary and external. Optimists do the opposite-seeing bad events as temporary and specific while attributing good events to their own capabilities. Using Grant Study data, Seligman found that by age 45, pessimists were already less healthy than optimists, with the gap widening significantly by age 60. Harvard research found heart disease rates among optimists were half those of pessimists-a difference as dramatic as that between smokers and non-smokers. Hope can literally keep people alive, as demonstrated by cases like Joe, a little boy with stage 4 cancer who experienced remarkable improvement when anticipating his father's first visit. What separates optimists from pessimists is "learned helplessness." While both experience negative emotions after setbacks, optimists recover quickly, believing they'll land "butter side up." Pessimists remain helpless, spiraling into depression, believing negative experiences will last forever and reflect personal failure. This negative mindset triggers stress responses that suppress the body's natural self-repair mechanisms. Madelon Visintainer's rat study dramatically demonstrated how helplessness affects immunity. Rats given escapable shocks (who learned to master their situation) rejected implanted cancer cells 70% of the time, while helpless rats receiving inescapable shocks rejected tumors only 27% of the time. The helpless rats showed suppressed T-cell multiplication and natural killer cell function-proving that psychological states directly affect immune-mediated disease outcomes. David Snowdon's study of nuns provided remarkable insights into happiness and longevity. By examining autobiographies written by young nuns entering the convent, researchers compared happiness levels with longevity outcomes. The study found 90% of the most cheerful nuns lived to 84, compared to only 34% of the least cheerful. By 94, 54% of cheerful nuns were still alive versus just 11% of the unhappy ones. Overall, happy nuns lived seven and a half years longer than their unhappy counterparts. Emotional suffering begins in the mind but manifests physically through the body's stress response. When we experience negative emotions, our bodies respond physiologically even without immediate physical threat. Anxiety activates the amygdala, which processes emotions before our conscious brain does, becoming increasingly reactive with repeated stress triggers. Depression activates the stress response cyclically, depleting neurotransmitters and increasing inflammation linked to numerous diseases.

Six Steps to Healing Yourself

Dr. Rankin developed a six-step process for self-healing based on her research and clinical experience: 1. Believe You Can Heal Yourself: Our beliefs powerfully affect our physical reality. Just as Roger Bannister broke the "impossible" four-minute mile barrier in 1954-after which many others quickly accomplished the same feat-our limiting beliefs about "incurable" diseases may prevent healing. Changing self-sabotaging beliefs through meditation, positive affirmations, detailed visualization, and guarding against negative thoughts can reprogram the subconscious mind. 2. Find the Right Support: Healing requires a supportive team. Interview potential healthcare providers, finding those who believe in your ability to heal, seek providers who genuinely care and treat you as a whole person, ensure team members collaborate respectfully across conventional and alternative approaches, trust your body's intuitive response to providers, and confirm they respect your intuition and autonomy. 3. Listen to Your Body and Intuition: Many people have disconnected from their bodies and intuition through constant work, ignoring physical needs, and dissociating from discomfort. Our Inner Pilot Light communicates through physical symptoms-a nagging cough might signal it's time to quit smoking, pain during sex might indicate an unsafe relationship. When we ignore these messages, our bodies manifest more serious conditions to get our attention. 4. Diagnose the Root Causes of Your Illness: While conventional medical diagnoses are important, many symptoms stem from chronic stress responses without adequate relaxation counterbalancing. To optimize healing, we must identify what's triggering these stress responses at their source. This doesn't mean blaming ourselves for illness-as Dr. Christiane Northrup says, "We are responsible to our disease, not for our disease." Illness offers an opportunity to investigate our lives without judgment and realign ourselves spiritually. 5. Write the Prescription for Yourself: After diagnosing the root causes affecting your health, create a personalized treatment plan of radical self-care. Unlike conventional medical treatment plans that may address symptoms but not underlying causes, The Prescription tackles the root issues that make you susceptible to illness. This step positions you as the "head honcho" of your healthcare-you consult experts but retain decision-making authority. 6. Surrender Attachment to Outcomes: After you've done everything possible to foster self-healing, you must surrender attachment to outcomes. Despite our best efforts, there are no guarantees-you can do everything "right" and still remain ill, or do nothing and experience spontaneous remission. The key is approaching illness as an opportunity for spiritual awakening, recognizing that whether cured or not, you will be healed, and your healing will heal others. Dr. Rankin concludes with a passionate reminder that life's only certainty is uncertainty, which offers not just fear but infinite possibility. She encourages readers-whether well or sick-to embrace life fully: "Savor it. Open your heart. Follow your dream. Live daringly. Be unapologetically you. It's preventive medicine. And it just might save your life."

说实话，这个 app 超出了我所有的预期。我可以让它就任何主题生成音频，无论是什么，效果都很惊艳。我的专业领域是心理治疗方向，而且是多学科交叉的，但它给出的内容非常准确。

@Raguipa

我最感激的是它大大减少了我刷手机的时间——花在搜索上的时间少了，吸收信息的时间多了。完整有声书、播客加上学习计划的组合，真的很出色。

我做 PhotoReading 快速学习讲师已经 24 年了… 书籍、阅读和学习就是我的本行，而 BeFreed 用一种创新的方式，把知识变得特别容易吸收，做得非常出色。

@BeFreed user

它不只是一个书籍摘要 app。我用过「有趣」这个阅读模式，比传统方式的摘要好得多，理解观点也更容易，光这一点就值回票价。

@austinakon

我爱这个 app。用了几天，完全停不下来。作为开始，再好不过了。

@jcrules328

我真的很喜欢这个产品；已经试用了大概一个月，感觉挖到宝了。它特别好用，因为我可以用 BeFreed 创建自己想学的主题，声音也很棒，旁白选择多到用不完。

@DanielCZ

我特别喜欢它能把有用的信息和想法浓缩成 8-15 分钟的播客式音频。我本来不太爱听播客，因为废话太多，但它把这些全都去掉了。

@BeFreed user

我正在读博士的最后阶段，需要读大量不熟悉的材料… 用 BeFreed，只要输入一个提示，app 就会帮你找到源材料并生成一期音频播客。我觉得 BeFreed 的流程比 NotebookLM 更顺畅。

@Brad

我经常在做早餐、散步、通勤的时候上 YouTube 找点东西听，而 BeFreed 提供了更有针对性的选择，没有广告，也没有废话！

@BeFreed user

这个平台最棒的地方是它的多面性。真的没有任何主题是它讲不了的，你丢给它什么它都能处理… 很少能找到一个毫无限制、又真正兑现承诺的学习工具。

@jayallen

BeFreed 太棒了。界面好用，让我花在找功能上的时间更少，花在学习上的时间更多。有声书、播客和学习计划的组合是天才设计，彻底改变了我的日常。

@BeFreed user

一开始我花了点时间才弄明白怎么生成意大利语的播客，然后就——哇！太棒了！我可以让它讲解任何一个话题，它讲得又好又聪明！

@matteo77

BeFreed 已经成了我每天都用的有声书 app… 我最喜欢的是，把自己的文字放进去，它就能生成随时随地都能听的音频。
