Bernie Seigel is a cancer surgeon who over 20 years ago asked the question: why do some survive when so many succumb? He started looking into the characteristics of those who beat the odds in their fight against cancer. A strong believer in mind-body-spirit connections, he describes how and why one should concentrate on healing one's life, and in the process decrease pain and suffering, and maybe even experience a physical cure.
A good book for anyone facing cancer or some other chronic, lethal or debilitating illness----and for those who are involved in their support.
