The Way of The Cat: Surviving Metastasized Cancer - Miraculous Journey
The Way of The Cat: Surviving Metastasized Cancer by Itzhak Be'er is a pretty new release on Amazon. But this is a must-read book for everyone having a spirit to fight against any kind of odd situations in life. It is a moral boosting autobiography to be read by one and all. In fact, it shows there is always something more powerful beyond science and technology. And it is the determination and willpower of a person that connects with this superpower to get amazing and unbelievable results. The story is a full lifecycle of a normal human being, Itzy in this case, who becomes a victim of terminal prostate cancer at the age of 50 and whose survival chances are negligible beyond nine months to two years. This is, in fact, the story of a real-life hero who decides to save his life on his own.
Itzhak not only decides to face this deadly and shocking situation of his life on his own but also formulates a strategy to encounter it and mitigate all kind of risks arising out of it. In fact, the author of The Way of The Cat: Surviving Metastasized Cancer has become a legend and a benchmark for others to follow. Rather, his struggle can become a very effective case study for project management or a business passing through turbulent waters. And the strategy that he formulates to fight against this deadly disease, he names it as "The Way of the Cat" and thus comes the title of the book. The book has 18 chapters. In fact, every chapter presents a deep insight on the positive side of life and a strong human character. The strategy comes from the replica of a cat's behavior fighting against a snake.
The Way of The Cat: Surviving Metastasized Cancer by Itzy not only highlights the power of medical wisdom but also throws light on the weaker side of the healthcare system. It really takes a good amount of courage to acquire a "no give up" attitude under these circumstances. In fact, in my opinion, it is important to keep this book on your desk or as your travel mate. The last chapter of the book "My 14 insights For Fighting Cancer" is a compilation of 14 life lessons. All 14 lessons are like precious gems. These are applicable anywhere in life under any kind of negative situation.
The first Insight says "A War Just Broke Out And You Are The Commander". How relevant this is to every one of us. If we don't lead an adverse situation in our life, nobody else will come to save us out of that. Similarly, the second one says "What are you Willing to Do to Live?". How practical and true it is. First of all, you have to create a will to live under dire consequences. Once you acquire that will, you have to find out best possible ways to achieve that. Each insight, in fact, is a piece of wisdom to apply in life. Overall, The Way of The Cat: Surviving Metastasized Cancer by Itzy is a fantastic book.

The Way of The Cat: Surviving Metastasized Cancer is part memoir, part inspirational and part how-to book. Altogether, it is the story of how the author overcame a major health crisis. He hopes that his story and the steps he took to combat the illness - few ever triumph against - will both inspire and provide someone else the tools to live the best life possible, despite what medical experts have told them.
No matter what your situation is today, this book will put you on the right path to better things. I’ve been around the block a few times myself and even I found this read to be very insightful. This wonderful new book will show you how to take control of your health/life issues and properly tune into what your body is telling you and the rules you must follow to achieve this. This by far is one of the best Life-Improvement books I’ve read in a very long time.
The Way of The Cat: Surviving Metastasized Cancer is a very well written Health and Life Improvement book. This book is intelligent, wise and packed to the rafters with practical sound advice.

How many times have we come across the word “cancer” in our lives? We know how deadly this disease is and for anyone diagnosed under this must have seen their world crumbling into million pieces. This book by Itzhak Be’er is an autobiography by the author documenting his experience while battling this killing machine.
A cat is used as a metaphor in the context of their survival skills. The author once witnessed a cat killing a huge viper snake by beating him consistently on his head with many small blows. This was termed as “The way of the cat”. All we need is a will to survive the odds.
As readers we might have come across characters living their days on fire, trying to catch missed balls and making the most out of the days. But the author is not just a mere fictional character but a living example giving each one of us life goals. This is highly motivating and recommended to anyone who thinks life is being unfair to them.
The narration is very strong and being written as first person, the readers will easily get hooked to the events. While I took it thinking how awakening and motivating the journey will bee, the book turned out to be emotionally awakening too.

The book about cancer has a very unusual name. I came to know an interesting fact that cancer is named as such because its ability to move sideways and crawl.
Cover of the book is simple which shows a cat walking with anger in her eyes. This shows the aggression of hers.
Itzhak Be'er is diagnosed with prostate cancer in his late forties. He once saw a cat killing a huge viper snake by beating him consistently on his head with many small blows. This he termed as “The way of the cat”.
This is a book of hope, courage and indomitable spirit.

Forward thinking
I was very interested in all the options he tried. I wonder if all physicians would be so willing to work together. It is unfortunate the closest relationship did not last. Unfortunately an extreme illness can be difficult for lives one's. I would recommend this to anyone.
