From bestselling author Bernie Siegel comes a practical and inspiring collection of life lessons.
Dr, Bernard S. Siegel attended Colgate University and Cornell University Medical College. He holds membership in two scholastic honour societies, Phi Beta Kappa and Alpha Omega Alpha, and graduated with honours. His surgical training took place at Yale New Haven Hospital and the Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh. He is a pediatric and a general surgeon in New Haven. In 1978 Dr. Siegel started Exceptional Cancer Patients, a specific form of individual and group therapy utilizing patients' dreams, drawings and images. ECaP is based on 'carefrontation', a loving, safe, therapeutic confrontation, which facilitates personal change and healing. This experience led to his desire to make everyone aware of their own healing potential.
Continuing in the vein of Love, Medicine and Miracles (HarperPerennial, 1990) and Peace, Love and Healing (LJ 3/15/91), Siegel offers a collection of stories on dealing with life's difficulties. His intent is to pass on what others have learned in order to live happily. The prescriptions are evident in the chapter titles: "Family Matters," "Children, Creation, & the Voice of God," "Loving Yourself," "Loving Others," "Thriving in Bad Times," "Surviving Good Times," and, finally, "Prescriptions for Living." The reader can use this as a self-help guide. The personal anecdotes and touching stories come from Siegel's experiences as a surgeon and lecturer and from his own searching. Readers of his past books and seekers of self-change will gravitate to this work. All public libraries would do well to add it.ÄLeroy Hommerding, Citrus Cty. Lib. System, Inverness, FL
