Format:Paperback
Bernie Siegel is the founder of ECAP (Exceptional Cancer Patients) and much of this book is drawn from his experiences with these patients. The purpose of the book is to help cancer survivors to become exceptional patients who learn to embrace life more fully and live longer. Usually these patients are able to take control of their lives and treatments in partnership with their doctors. There is a connection between mind and body which can be exploited in order to maximize chances for recovery. The will to live is very important in this process. In arguably the most interesting chapter of the text, the author describes the characteristics of exceptional patients and other notable survivors. The book provides much information and hope which anyone battling cancer will find uplifting.

Bernie Seigel is a man of overwhelming compassion and good sense. I have just bought yet another copy of this wonderful book to give to yet another friend who is embarking on the minefield which is breast cancer, a path I first trod in 1994 and when a friend recommended this wonderful book I read and re-read it through certain times of my journery through cancer and out the other end. I related to so much of the content that at last I felt I was NOT alone and others had been here before me and survived. We are the lucky ones, I have many friends that I made through this journery who are no longer with us but they gained great strength through reading this book and it enabled them to change the time they had left and make every day count. I do not know why some of us survive longer than others but we can all make a change to our lives that will enhance it along the way. I know I have changed my life in so many ways and my attitudes have changed greatly, I always say and people find this hard to believe but cancer bought more to me that it every took away and this book certainly helped set me on this hopeful path. This book is a MUST for anyone who is forced to confront their own mortality "A truly life changing book" PLEASE READ IT SOON.

Format:Paperback
I can't believe I am the first person to review this wonderful book on Amazon.co.uk. Bernie Siegel - a surgeon and oncologist - possesses that rare talent: an ability to combine spirituality with medicine, in a manner that is truly ground-breaking - although he DOES point out that it is only in recent decades that, regarding health, the link between body and soul has been so completely severed, with 'modern' therapeutic theories seeming to believe that merely treating outward symptoms is the same as achieving inner healing. It is not.
This book with transform how you think about life, death, illness, healing, love and the doctor-patient relationship. It is a book of hope, love and immense charity. Even better, it is a rolling good read, filled with anedotal yarns, witty asides and inspirational, real-life stories of survivors who defied the often terminal disgnoses meted out by "all-knowing" MD's - which some doctors seem to think stands for 'Medical Diety', quips Siegel - and went on to find peace, and often longevity.
A must for every person who wants to know more about how the body and the spirit influence one another.
