TESTIMONIALS FROM AROUND THE WORLD
I’d recommend it to my future patients
As a person and as an oncologist, I truly enjoyed reading and thinking about the benefits of Empowered against Cancer. I’ve skimmed a few of these types of tomes, and they are commonly stentorian but ultimately unilluminating. I enjoyed the honest forward – do we really need another one of these books? – and the authors go on to prove why this is the keeper on the bookshelf. I also absolutely appreciated the last 2 chapters, particularly “Healing Mind and Spirit” because in the deluge of training that medical doctors go through, and in literature that’s out there as well, the mind and spirit are what are critically important and do not get discussed enough. Laughter is underrated for healing – despite the cliché that it is the best medicine. And bookended in between is what every cancer patient needs to plot – in breezy yet authoritative text – their course in uncharted seas. It was a joy to peruse and easy to jump around as designed. This is a wonderful book that I’d recommend to my future patients.
