À propos de cet audio
How to Be Sick: A Buddhist-Inspired Guide for the Chronically Ill and their Caregivers is a life-affirming, instructive, and inspiring book about living gracefully and purposefully with the challengesfaced by those with chronic pain or illness. These conditions, while not always life-threatening, are life-disrupting and stressful. The audiobook contains over two dozen tools and practices to help people live skillfully and to find equanimity and joy despite the profound changes in their lives. A recurring theme in the audiobook is that, although our bodies may be in pain or otherwise disabled, our minds can be at peace. The book is Buddhist-inspired but is non-parochial; it is intended to help everyone.
Until she had to retire due to illness, Toni Bernhard was a law professor for 22 years at the University of California-Davis, serving six years as the law school's dean of students. She had a longstanding Buddhist practice and co-led a weekly meditation group with her husband. How to Be Sick won the 2011 Nautilus Gold Book Award in Self-Help/Psychology and was named one of the Best Books of 2010 by Spirituality and Practice. Her new book is titled How to Wake Up: A Buddhist-Inspired Guide to Navigating Joy and Sorrow. She can be found online at www.tonibernhard.com

Actual Help for the Chronically Ill
It is rare that a self-help book would capture my attention as this one has. It provides a Buddhist perspective on enduring and living well with chronic illness. The author, herself, is chronically ill and mindful of the way this affects our lives. I have been reticent to really speak about what it is like to live this way, as it causes me shame and I experience rejection if I am too forthcoming. Bernhard breaks those silences, which, in itself, is comforting. She offers real direction in adopting the very practical methods that Budhhists have learned about dealing with both pain and suffering. The techniques aren't new, but put into the context of helping us live through medical difficulties, this book helps break the stigma we often attach needlessly to our suffering selves. It is not a pill one can take to feel better instantly; one must internalize and practice this very different way of speaking, thinking and acting. I recommend this book to all people I know are dealing with chronic illness.
