How to be Sick by Toni Bernhard
A brand-new edition of the best-selling classic with added and updated practices.In 2001, Toni Bernhard got sick and, to her and her partner's bewilderment, stayed that way. As they faced the confusion, frustration, and despair of a life with sudden limitations--a life that was vastly different from the one they'd thought they'd have together--Toni had to learn how to be sick. In spite of her many physical and energetic restrictions (and sometimes, because of them), Toni learned how to live a life of equanimity, compassion, and joy. This book reminds us that our own inner freedom is limitless, regardless of our external circumstances.
Updated with new insights and practices hard-won from Toni's own ongoing life experience, this is a must-read for anyone who is--or who might one day be--sick or in pain.
Toni Bernhard is the author of How to Be Sick: A Buddhist-Inspired Handbook for the Chronically Ill and Their Caregivers and How to Wake Up: A Buddhist-Inspired Guide to Navigating Joy and Sadness, both of which have received awards. Toni was a law professor at the University of California-Davis until she was forced to retire due to illness. She also served as the dean of students for six years. She has been a Buddhist for more than 20 years. Turning Straw Into Gold is her blog, which is hosted on Psychology Today's website. Toni Bernhard's website is www.tonibernhard.com.
