'>Susan Kersley's beautifully straightforward and logical book shows any doctor how to take back the control. You may not be able to change the NHS, but you can change your life. I'm all too aware that this sentence sounds much like the worst form of psychobabble, but the simple fact is that it really is true. Even the simplest of steps can make a difference. I am delighted that Susan Kersley has written this book which can help you make the changes you currently only dream of. As the old cliché goes, life isn't a dress rehearsal. You're on the real stage. Act now.'' David Haslam, in the Foreword Contents Why an ABC?
