Editorial Reviews

Review

"..written in a positive style this book provides people with the opportunity to actively participate in their recovery. It is necessary reading for anyone living with cancer.." -- Elizabeth Rollings, Nova Newspaper

"LSWC is about a journey with cancer, both physical and emotional...and as it says 'Cancer is a word, not a sentence'" -- Peter Laud, The Sunday Times, October 1998

"The difficult task of adopting a simple healthy life in the face of a cancer diagnosis is lovingly spelled out in the fully revised edition of Ross Taylor's book..." -- Conscious Living Magazine, Oct. 1998

"When I first read Living Simply with Cancer I was so very pleasantly surprised as so much of what Ross Taylor writes about I have experienced personally. It's a quick and easy read with healing methods for the inner and outer body, both dietary and spiritual.

I highly recommend Living Simply with Cancer to anyone facing cancer or wishing to reduce their chances of being diagnosed with this disease." -- Olivia Newton-John

About the Author

Ross Taylor had what many people would describe as the perfect life..a company director, a busy international business career staying in the best hotels and plenty of travel.

Then, in 1993, whilst living with his family in Singapore, Ross was diagnosed with an aggressive form of cancer and his fairy-tale world came crashing down.

Despite a 10-30% survival chance (over 3 years) Ross has not only healed his life, but has specialized in understanding the role of stress management and nutrition in creating a healthy and well-balanced lifestyle.

Today Ross is an active international speaker on the subjects of "Creating Exceptional Health" and being happy.

Ross has presented talks at the Australian Medical Association Conference in 1998 and at the International Book Fair held in Singapore in 1997. He is in constant demand as a speaker at conferences and seminars around the world.

His story has been featured widely on television (including two appearances on Australia's 7.30 Report and in newspapers and magazines including Life magazine in Malaysia and Australia's That's Life.

He is the president of Australia's largest cancer support organization and is the author of several books and tapes.

Described recently by a leading television personality as her choice as one of Australia's three most inspirational people, Ross continues to bring hope, laughter and inspiration to people everywhere.

4.0 out of 5 stars Living simply with Cancer, November 28, 1999
By 
John Rogers (Perth, Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Living Simply with Cancer (Paperback)
After being diagnosed with brain cancer I was ready to give up hope. Then I read Ross Taylors book and realized that there was so much I could do to EMPOWER myself, to take some control over my cancer journey. It was a simple to read book and with my head spinning around this was really important! It also made me laugh, yes laugh; and I have got cancer! I loved this book!

This review is from: Living Simply with Cancer (Paperback)
What a refreshing approach, insightful and simple to read.Even the pleasant cover gives reader a sense of calm and wellbeing. I made a simple enquiry about this book not only as a newly diagnosed patient with rare form of cancer but also a huge Olivia Newton-John fan and the author sent me a personally signed copy and has helped me with information/links to cancer sites. Thanks Ross. This book should be read by anyone newly diagnosed or with family members/friends newly diagnosed.Highly reccomended by this reviewer.
