"If you want to better understand how to deal with a chronic
illness, or you are the caregiver for someone who is chronically
ill, read How to be Sick."-- "The Caregiver's Voice"
"Toni Bernhard's book, How To Be Sick--A Buddhist's Guide for the
Chronically Ill and Their Caregivers, is an invitation to gently
set aside the fear and the fight in order to truly live. It is
based on principles of Buddhism, which she carefully applies to her
own chronic and at times debilitating illness. She offers a
different perspective on illness and wellness, suggesting the two
need not be mutually exclusive."-- "Psychology Today"
