How to Be Sick: A Buddhist-Inspired Guide for the Chronically Ill and Their Caregivers by Toni Bernhard, Sylvia Boorstein

5.0

One of my colleagues has a chronic illness. I asked her how I could be a better ally and she recommended this book. Even if you have the fortune of good health, this book is wonderful. It helps you understand what it's like to battle a chronic illness, and even more importantly, gives a dozen or so mental resilience skills to reframe the situation and live one's best life possible. I have also started practicing some of the skills when faced with difficult tasks, such as a long bike ride in the hot sun. Highly recommend.
