How to Have a Happier Holiday Season - Even if You're Ill

How is It’s MY Crisis! And I’ll Cry If I Need To: EMPOWER Yourself to Cope with a Medical Challenge different from other self-help, inspirational books? Because of the author who wrote it.


I don’t play “Holier than you” games nor do I pretend that all will sweet if only you follow the suggestions in the book. What I have done from cover to cover, is to acknowledge the pain, confusion and anger that go with illness. Then I share practical, proven ways to “Face Your Medical Problems with Dignity. Face Your Future with Optimism.” Different chapters show you how to tame the insurance and medical paperwork monster, how to remember every medical appointment and medication (including what they’re for!); even the names of all the doctors involved in your medical care or your loved one’s.


I added humorous takes on life throughout the E-book and print edition, including a “knock ‘em flat” response to critics who insist you have no right to cry "... because G’D only gives what we can handle” (ever heard of a nervous breakdown? Death? Lifelong disabilities? The need to recover from a setback?). They and I let you laugh so you can restore your sense of perspective, your zest for life AND your better self to the overall picture. You might even end up feeling better about G'D!


There’s a reason that medical and mental health professionals recommend

One of them even saved his life with it! Another gives it to patients on chemotherapy and to addicts in rehab. “They don’t call me much after that,” he chuckles. “They feel better just reading the book!”


I’m different from other authors in the medical, self-help and inspirational genre because I’m honest about what it takes to cope with harsh reality and end up smiling. No white-washing with me. Just solid stress-busting information proven to work over time, plus time-saving leads to the cost-cutting information ill people need.

Get someone (including yourself!) a great gift for the holiday season. Let them learn how to enjoy it more, and at all, when they read

Sick? Scared? Disabled? Feel Better Fast: Read the Book Praised by Medical Professionals!

The back cover of

holds praise from medical and mental health professionals.

I was delighted to click on one of my Facebook pages today to see this praise from a newer reader of EMPOWER Yourself, another medical professional who has communicated her personal appreciation of the book to  me in the past:

 

Yocheved Golani has written

a comprehensive manual for

the ill and those helping

the person experiencing a medical crisis.

Her approach is compassionate and

filled with messages of

hope and universal faith.

I found the book pro-active, not reactive.

In Ms. Golani’s encouragement to use

positive language, she enables a reader

to look at their circumstance

as a point of growth.

She has productive exercises

for the reader,

using one’s own words to

approach a medical crisis

(or chronic illness) is going to

last much longer than the

“you should” messages

so many ill people face.

The list of resources is a commodity!

Whew, everyone experiencing illness

should have access

to this comprehensive list -

it’s action oriented, for sure.

Ultimately, the most endearing

and enduring message

one can receive from this book is:

Medical crisises may happen,

but who you are,

how you manage -

it’s in your hands.

Pick up this book and be

your own best advocate!
