How to be sick

How to be sick by Toni Bernhard 191 pages

I bought this book for the library and put it hold for myself based on Eliana's review and I'm glad I did because 3 other people already have it on request! This book really opened my eyes to so many things...You certainly don't need to have chronic illness in your life or be a caregiver to get a lot out of this book. The author DOES suffer from a chronic illness but she has managed to make a good life for herself by falling back on her Buddhist beliefs which has allowed her to cope with the pain and disappointment that comes with being sick. I admire her for her honesty and her attitude and her ability to give me hope that I can be a better person.
