Painful Yarns

Written by Professor G. Lorimer Moseley, a clinical neuroscientist and the co-author of the Explain Pain collection of books, Painful Yarns uses humorous anecdotes to educate readers on the biology of pain.

This compilation of hilarious stories and images is intended to help explain the complexity of pain. Sourced from Professor Moseley’s travels in outback Australia and beyond, and the fascinating people he meets along the way, each story is linked to a key aspect of pain biology.

Educational and Entertaining

Described by critics as “a gem,” and by patients as “bloody helpful,” this book is a clever example of therapeutic “edu-tainment” for those who are interested in understanding pain. The entertaining stories are used as metaphors to explain the biology of pain. Painful Yarns is fun, educational and entertaining; it serves as a perfect pre-read for the book Explain Pain for those who want to improve mindfulness and pain understanding.

Some of the stories include:

  • Nigel’s SuperSkoda 110
  • Crazy Kivin’s Brush with Death
  • The Thirsty Idiots
  • Scratchy & the Boring Talker
  • Ornithology & Amazing Grace
