Book Description
Given the undeniable reality of a cancer diagnosis, how can a person create joy, health, and hope? On Cancer as a Turning Point, Volume II, bestselling authors Jean Shinoda Bolen, M.D. (Goddesses in Everywoman), Oriah Mountain Dreamer (The Invitation), Lawrence LeShan (Cancer as a Turning Point), Martin Rossman, M.D. (Fighting Cancer from Within), Wayne Muller (How, Then, Shall We Live?), and others--many of whom are thriving after cancer diagnoses--reframe the healing process in a positive, creative, spiritual light. In 11 sessions, Cancer As a Turning Point, Volume II teaches life skills, such as the importance of humor and loving relationships--and specific techniques, informed by current research on diet, guided imagery, and the role of meditation in cancer treatment. Central to this collection is a revisioning of cancer as the "wisdom disease"--the illness that can teach us how to live.
