I think I have every one of Dr. Bernie Siegel's books. I started in 1990 when I was diagnosed with cancer and needed some support and information. I have recently returned to them again due to a heart attack. Bernie is the most compassionate doctor I have ever encountered. He understands the connection between mind, body, and emotions thoroughly and offers concrete suggestions for making life better no matter what physical ailments may assail you.

His other books dealt heavily with getting what you need when hospitalized and from your doctor and other medical staff. This book focuses on simply living life to the fullest, as he says, "between office visits". It is a wonderfully uplifting and encouraging book and I highly recommend it to anyone: patient, loved one, medical staff, and general public. I believe there is something in it for everyone.

The book in a very loving way tells you how to live, instead of just existing, with a disease or chronic illness.

That apply to living, not just death . . . very inspirational . . . and uplifiting . . . I recommend it strongly.

For over a decade now when a friend or family member is newly diagnosed with cancer I have found the best way for me to help is to let them learn to be a strong and knowledgeable patient. So this book and "How to live between office visits by Dr. Siegel are perfect gifts. If the person has breast cancer I thoroughly suggest the book by my namesake (no relationship) Marc Silver. So when you feel devastated or hopeless when someone close to you has just been told they have cancer, open up Amazon and order these books for them. One of my old neighbors once told me that the books totally changed his ability to get through his cancer care and likley to survive.

Helpful and heart warming, Dr. Bernie does it again. Very inspiring at a time when inspiration is what one needs most.

You can't go wrong with any of Bernie Siegel, M.D's works. I am always inspired and refreshed. I have most of his books and audio recordings.
